Know before you buy
As a liquid concentrate, Orca offers easier application and faster distribution throughout the root zone compared to granular forms. It is particularly effective for watering into established containers or garden beds where digging to incorporate granules might disturb existing roots.
Yes, Orca is formulated for a wide variety of plants, including vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, and houseplants. Its diverse blend of microbes is designed to adapt to various soil types and climates.
Orca can be used alongside most fertilizers, but it is best applied separately to ensure the beneficial microbes are not compromised by high-salt concentrations often found in synthetic nutrient solutions. Always check the labels of your other products to ensure they do not contain fungicides, which can kill the beneficial fungi in this inoculant.
For best results, apply Orca during initial planting or transplanting to establish the symbiotic relationship early. You can also apply it periodically throughout the growing season to maintain a healthy microbial population in the root zone.
While the product is a liquid concentrate, it is not technically water-soluble in the traditional sense of a powder. You must dilute the concentrate in water according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure even distribution and proper application to the root system.
