Jaggar Cross Exotics Orchid Fuel is a water-soluble 13-15-19 fertilizer with calcium and magnesium, formulated by commercial orchid grower Xavier G. de Loubresse for Dendrobium, Paphiopedilum, Phalaenopsis and other orchids. It dissolves into water and is poured into the substrate rather than applied as slow-release pellets. The low-urea blend also suits Nepenthes and other carnivorous plants, where high urea tends to stop pitchering. It is a complete NPK formula with micronutrients, aimed at growers who want steady green growth and regular blooms.

Jaggar Cross Exotics Orchid Fuel is a water-soluble, complete NPK fertilizer with calcium and magnesium. It was formulated by commercial orchid grower Xavier G. de Loubresse for Dendrobium, Paphiopedilum, Phalaenopsis, and other orchids. It also works for carnivorous plants, Nepenthes, and Amorphophallus. This version is free of blue dye.
The blend supplies about a third of its total nitrogen as ammonium, and its micronutrients are adjusted to help stop yellowing leaves from iron chlorosis. Calcium, magnesium, and nitrate keep leaves firm and help prevent root burn. Phosphate is not reduced, and potassium is higher to support flowering. Urea is very low, because too much can stop pitchering in Nepenthes.
Dissolve it in water and water it into the substrate. It is not a slow-release pellet. Soil fertilizing is recommended over foliar spraying. Use 3/4 tsp per gallon (1.5 g per L).
