Neilsons' Plant Elixir is a mild formula for orchids and houseplants, made from naturally-sourced fertilizer salts in meticulously honed proportions, partly diluted in the purest Oregon aquifer water.
Shake well and mix 1 part product with 3 parts water (preferably filtered, distilled, or rain water), then apply to the roots of your plants.
For best results, collect the runoff and pour it back over for full saturation without wasting Elixir, then drain thoroughly. Or water first with clean water and drain thoroughly to prep the potting mix for moisture, then douse a small amount of Elixir into the container so that it gets down to the roots.
Some people like to dilute the product as usual and dispense it from a spray bottle to the roots and for air plants.
Our product developer, Tom Neilson, sent leaf tissue samples from our orchid farm to a soil and plant laboratory once a month for nearly 40 years. He tweaked the formula each time, finally arriving at the desired nutrient levels, while ensuring they remain consistent throughout seasonal cycles. The target levels were set by a consortium of west-coast nursery growers that included his dad, Duncan Sr.
