A detailed guide to the correct use of Hyponex fertilizer

Hyponex is a comprehensive chemical fertilizer from the United States that has been popular around the world for decades. It comes in 5 formulations, each with a different scope of use, described separately below. ① Hyponex No. 2. The three major elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are present at 7:6:9 respectively (other ingredients are trade secrets and have not been disclosed). The aqueous solution is colorless. Suitable for general plant growth and for strengthening roots and stems. For general soilcultivation, dilute Hyponex 1000 times (that is, add 1 kg of water to every gram of Hyponex; every box of Hyponex comes with a measuring spoon, each level spoonful being 1 gram), and spray it on leaves, stems and other parts; it can also be poured into the soil to be absorbed by the roots, applied once a week. Hyponex No. 1 can also be used as a medium fororchid tissue culture; the method is to add 3 grams of Hyponex No. 1 to every liter of culture solution. ② Hyponex No. 2. The three major elements are present at 20:20:20 respectively, and the aqueous solution is grass green. Hyponex No. 2 is the most widely used formulation and can promote the development oforchids and tropical orchids. Because the total ingredient content of Hyponex No. 2 is high, it is safer to dilute it 1500-2000 times when using it. ③ Hyponex No. 3. The three major elements are present at 10:30:20 respectively, with a particularly high phosphorus content. The aqueous solution is grayish black, and it can mainly promote the flowering and seed setting oforchids; dilute 1000-2000 times and spray on stems and leaves, or pour into the soil. ④ Hyponex No. 4. The three major elements are present at 25:5:20, and the aqueous solution is purple. It can promote theorchid's budding and increase in root mass, and make the stems strong (that is, "strengthening the orchid head"). Use a 1000-times solution. Use with caution on variegated orchids. ⑤ Hyponex No. 5. The three major elements are present at 3o:10:10 respectively, and the aqueous solution is light orange. It has a special effect on the growth of orchid seedlings and gives good leaf-growing results. The concentration used is 1000 times. Use with caution on variegated orchids. (Guangdong - Song Guoxiong)
