It is unlikely that you will be able to grow a beautiful and healthy indoor plant without proper care, and the selection of fertilizer is an important part of this process. When choosing fertilizer, it is important to focus on the composition of the soil, the type of plant being grown, as well as its growing conditions. But it is possible to make this matter easier with the help of so-called universal fertilizers, which contain a number of nutrients necessary for normal plant growth.
The manufacturer of popular fertilizers "Fasco" has provided all sorts of options and has produced both single-component and complex preparations that improve the quality of the soil.

Features of using Fasco fertilizer
Each flower crop has its own characteristics, which are important to consider in the process of fertilization and care in general.
Universal scheme
Universal fertilizers "Fasco" are convenient because in most cases they can be used according to the classical scheme. During the period of active growth, green spaces are watered with nutrient liquid once every 14 days, and during the rest period - no more than once a month.
For many crops, the concentration of the solution is also identical: 1 or 2 liters of water are used per 10 ml of chemical, depending on the method of application (root or foliar feeding).
For orchids
"Fasco" can be used for all types of orchids. Like other flowers, these exotics can be fed both by root and foliar methods. The proportions by which nutrient solutions are prepared are standard.
Orchids are fertilized no earlier than two weeks after transplantation. The frequency of re-application depends on the season. So, from April to October, the flower is fertilized once a week, and from November to February - once every 30 days.
Important! This frequency is suitable exclusively for the root method of fertilizing. It is recommended to spray the plant no more than once a month. During flowering, irrigation stops.
Precautionary measures
To avoid accidents and feed the plant with maximum benefit, you must follow the following precautions:
- Fertilize only with elastic gloves.
- After completing the manipulations, wash your hands with soap and wash your face with running water.
- Fasco should not be used after the expiration date.
- The bottle should be stored in a cool, dark place, protected from direct sunlight.
- Fertilizer is kept in a place inaccessible to animals and children.
Instructions for use of Fasco
Each package of the drug contains detailed instructions for use, which should be strictly followed.
How to dilute and the best time for processing
Most of the fertilizers from "Fasco" are sold in the form of a concentrated nutrient solution, which must be diluted in water immediately before use. The ratio of fertilizer to water depends on the type of flower crop being grown.
The manufacturer's recommendations, which indicate the correct proportions for specific types of plants, as well as advice on when it is best to add nutrient liquid, will help you avoid making mistakes.
The classic proportion for watering at the roots is 10 ml (1 bottle cap) per 1 liter of water. For spraying, you should use a less concentrated solution, which is prepared from 10 ml of product and 2 liters of water. The working solution is diluted in a separate container, which will not be used in the future for domestic purposes.
It is recommended to use the solution in the morning or evening. This will protect the plant from burns, which may occur if sunlight hits drops of nutrient liquid.
Watering at the root
In this regard, using the working solution is as easy as possible. It is enough to water the plant with it so that the entire lump of soil is moistened. But it is better to avoid getting the mixture on the ground part of plants due to its increased concentration.
Foliar feeding
“Fasco” is also used for foliar feeding of green pets. To do this, pour the solution into a spray bottle and generously spray the flower with the mixture.
Important! After spraying, a whitish coating may appear on the leaves of the plant, which can be easily removed with a damp cloth.
Security measures
"Fasco" is a fairly safe fertilizer, but when using it you should not ignore basic safety measures. Before diluting the product, you must wear gloves and protect other areas of the skin and mucous membranes from accidental contact with the solution. If it was not possible to avoid trouble, it is important to immediately rinse off the working mixture under running water. Do not smoke, drink or eat food while working with chemicals.
It is better to feed the flower with a stimulant in the morning
Analogues of the drug
If it is not possible to purchase Fasco for orchids, then there are several analogues of the product on the market. Information about them is presented in the table below.
| Name | Release form | Peculiarities | Price |
| EffectBIO | Spray | Valid for 2 years, not dangerous for animals and humans, requires at least 3 fertilizers to produce an effect. | From 160 rub. |
| Bona Forte | Liquid, spray | Large selection of volumes, works similarly to FASCO. | From 140 rub. |
| Crystalon | Liquid | Large selection of volumes, | From 115 RUR |
| FlorGumate from Hera | Liquid | A cheap product, it is necessary to reduce the concentration of fertilizer by half, the effect appears after 3-4 fertilizing. | From 80 rub. |
Flower growers do not recommend using these drugs together with Fusco, since the content of useful substances will be too high. This can lead to poisoning and wilting of the plant, as well as burns to the root system.
When is the use of flowering stimulating fertilizer indicated?
Flowers growing at home, as a rule, require much more attention than garden plants. This is due not only to their whimsicality, but also to environmental conditions. Limited space, low nutrient content in the soil, lack of light and air are factors that negatively affect the health of any plant. And high-quality fertilizers help to minimize such environmental consequences. It is especially important to feed plants that are capable of flowering. If the elements initially present in the soil are sufficient to grow green mass, then by the time the buds are planted the soil is depleted, which means the pet is experiencing a deficiency of microelements.
"Fasco" produces fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to stimulate flowering. Most of them are produced in liquid form and can be used as a liquid for both irrigation and spraying. This form is better absorbed by plants, which means the drug begins to act faster.
It is better to feed the flower with a stimulant in the morning, when the sun does not shine too aggressively.
It is recommended to apply fertilizer for the first time no earlier than 10-14 days after transplanting into new soil. It is preferable to alternate the flowering stimulator with classic mineral fertilizers. The latter is also added once every 2 weeks. This scheme must be followed during the period of active growth and flowering of the pet. The rest of the time, plants do not need a stimulant, and they only need microelements contained in complex fertilizers, usually applied once every 30 days.
It is recommended to use the solution in the morning or evening hours
Fungicide Maxim
The fungicide series of drugs are aimed at combating pathogens of fungal infections and preventing associated diseases. Fungicide Maxim is used when replanting orchids to disinfect the roots and new substrate. Its main function is to fight various diseases :
- Scab;
- Gray rot;
- Rhizoctoniosis;
- Mold;
- Fusarium;
- Downy mildew;
- Black.
Maxim helps the orchid fight various diseases.
Maxim is a drug based on organic substances . It is based on fludioxonil, which is a naturally occurring antibiotic. It effectively fights fungi and at the same time nourishes the plant, stimulating growth and development of immunity.
The use of a fungicide when replanting a plant is a precautionary measure against unwanted diseases .
Proportions for preparing the solution : 2 ml of liquid preparation per 1 liter of settled water. We immerse the orchid roots in the resulting solution for 20 minutes. Its leaves can be wiped with a cotton swab dipped in fungicide. The substrate (bark, moss) also needs to be soaked in the solution, immersing it completely by pressing down for 20-30 minutes.
Advice! If the orchid shows signs of infection, then you can immerse the plant pot itself in the solution for 20 minutes. If the disease subsides, then it will be possible to do without replanting and removing dead roots.
There are several drugs based on fludioxonil, all of them have a common effect with Maxim. Among them :
- Geox;
- Cruiser;
- Magnate;
- Protect forte;
- Switch;
- Selet.

Leonid. “Maxim is one of the best drugs for getting rid of pathogenic microbes. The only thing that confuses me is its red color, which supposedly allows you to get rid of counterfeits.”
Description and instructions for fertilizer for Fusco orchids
Fertilizer for orchids Fusco instructions (always included with the bottle) is an effective and inexpensive composition. It should be used according to the recommendations on the bottle, and as for the question of how appropriate it is to use fertilizers for indoor plants, there is only one answer: they are necessary for their full functioning.
Article on the topic: Fertika OMU Vegetable - reviews, description
The life of indoor plants is limited by the space of the pot, and no matter how nutritious the soil is, after some time the root system of a tree or flower depletes its resources. Transplantation in this case is only an auxiliary means, because the soil, in any case, is an artificial habitat, even though many flowers have long adapted to indoor existence. In order for them to develop harmoniously, they should be regularly fed with balanced compounds, thanks to which the land will remain suitable for their habitat for much longer.
If you wish, you can prepare fertilizers yourself, but this requires effort, time, and care. Everything turns out “by eye” - and it is far from a fact that an orchid at a certain point in its life will react positively to homemade feeding. Universal formulations contain all the substances necessary for house plants, collected in the correct proportion. This is what helps not to “overfeed” the flowers and, at the same time, contributes to their saturation.
Description of the fertilizer Flower Happiness from Fusco
Fusco fertilizer for orchids has received a description and characteristics of a product that can be used both to nourish the root system of phalaenopsis and as an excellent foliar feeding. Regardless of what type of phalaenopsis is in the house, Fusco is a universal composition that can be used to feed any of them without fear. Regular use of the composition will allow you to achieve better growth and development of home culture, as well as its flourishing and healthy appearance, despite its whimsicality and capriciousness.
In addition to the general positive characteristics, the composition of Flower Happiness has the following advantages:
- stimulates bud formation;
- provides abundant flowering over a long period of time;
- helps strengthen the immunity of phalaenopsis and its resistance to diseases typical of orchids;
- all fertilizer elements are collected in chelate form, which ensures rapid growth and development of the flower;
- the drug strengthens the root system of the orchid;
- its effectiveness has been confirmed by numerous tests and professional flower growers.
The product is produced in convenient 250 ml bottles, with a pleasant design and written instructions for use. Its cost does not exceed 200 rubles.
Biopon
Biopon is a Polish-made fertilizer that contains :
- Nitrogen (6%);
- Phosphorus (4.5%);
- Potassium (5.5%).
These microelements feed orchids with useful, vital minerals and vitamins.
Biopon will strengthen the root system , leaves and provide the orchid with long flowering, which is facilitated by the increased phosphorus content.
Biopon strengthens the root system and leaves of the orchid.
Soil fertilizing solution: 0.5 caps of liquid Bipon per 1 liter of water. Fertilizing the soil can be done in two ways :
- Immerse the pot in the solution for 20-30 minutes;
- Spilling soil solution.
Biopon is well absorbed into the bark and acts on the plant for quite a long time.
The drug will be effective in the period between the exit from dormancy (when new leaves and roots begin to appear) until the start of the peduncle. There is no point in fertilizing an orchid with a growing arrow , since the number of flowers and their splendor are already established and are determined by the high-quality nutrition of the plant.
Reviews
Nikolai. “This is a fertilizer with a predominance of phosphorus and it is for flowering; on non-adapted phalaenopsis it is better to wait to use it, especially if there are few roots left”
Anatoly. “The fertilizer turned out to be very good. The ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 4:5:6, respectively (nitrogen stimulates the growth of leaves and stems, phosphorus - flowers, potassium - helps roots). The product really helps."
