  • Our take on the Fertilizer: 15-5-15 CalMag Special

    Peters Excel 15-5-15 CalMag Special is a water-soluble fertilizer built for growers who use rainwater, RO water or heavily flushed media. It supplies calcium and magnesium alongside a high-nitrogen, low-phosphorus, high-potassium ratio, so plants get the calmag they miss when tap water is left out. Orchid growers use it across Cattleya, Catasetinae, Paphiopedilum, Phragmipedium, Phalaenopsis species, potted Bulbophyllum and Dendrobium. Against plain bloom-booster or general-purpose feeds, the draw is the built-in calcium and magnesium; the trade-off is that it is a maintenance feed, not a bloom-forcing formula.

    Pros
    • Calcium and magnesium included, so no separate calmag additive
    • High nitrogen and potassium suit steady vegetative and root growth
    • Low phosphorus keeps it usable as an everyday feed
    • Dissolves in water for fertigation or hand watering
    • Works across a wide range of orchid genera
    Cons
    • Low phosphorus is not aimed at bloom boosting
    • Sensitive orchids need a half-strength mix, so dosing varies by plant
    • Tap-water users still need periodic flushing
    • Sold as a dry mix that must be measured and dissolved each time

    Questions and answers

    What is 15-5-15 CalMag used for?
    It is a water-soluble maintenance fertilizer for plants grown in rainwater, RO water or flushed media. The calcium and magnesium make up for what those water sources lack.
    How much should I mix for orchids?
    Use 1 teaspoon per gallon weekly for most orchids, dropping to every other week in winter. For Paphiopedilum, Phragmipedium and Bulbophyllum, use ½ teaspoon per gallon every other week.
    Do I still need a separate calmag supplement?
    No. Calcium and magnesium are already in the formula, so a separate calmag additive is not needed at the recommended rates.
    Can I use it with tap water?
    Yes, but flush the pots periodically to clear salt buildup. Growers on rainwater or RO water get the most from the calcium and magnesium in it.
    Is it a bloom booster?
    No. Its low phosphorus makes it a general growth feed rather than a bloom formula. Use a higher-phosphorus feed if you want to push flowering.
    Does it work for other plants besides orchids?
    It is formulated for orchids but works as a general water-soluble feed for other container plants that need calcium and magnesium.
    Where is the Fertilizer: 15-5-15 CalMag Special cheapest?
    At LadyVanda, for $15.00, as of our latest check.
