Newbie With Quantum Orchid Bottle... Thoughts?

[Student Hobbyist]

Hello,

New to the orchid game, not to the plant market. For Christmas I received a bottle of RePotme Quantum Orchid "Probiotic". I am used to seeing thousands of different "miracle supplements" that will make your plant thrive. So while I am hopeful, I do have an fair degree of skepticism.

Does anyone have any real and personal experience with this product?

I use it monthly. Do I see a difference? I honestly don't know. But, in fairness, I was already using something else, this replaced it.

I use and sell the identical product under its trade name Quantum-Total. Quantum Orchid is simply a private label version.

Probiotics, in general, serve to attack pathogens, secrete antibiotics to keep others at bay, secrete auxins that stimulate plant growth, and depending upon the species used, can offer other benefits, as well.

This particular product contains a nitrogen-fixing species that make fertilizer right from the air and a photosynthetic one that produces sugars (fuel), both right inside the plant. As has been mentioned in another thread here, it also contains a species that has been shown to kill certain viruses and stimulate the plant to be more disease resistant.

Used regularly, you aren’t likely to see significant improvements in the plant, but they will stay healthier overall, and after a while, you’ll suddenly realize that your collection is seeing fewer rots.

I use it, and am a believer. My plants used to get damaged from bumping them (small black or brown spots). No longer an issue.

I also use as a foliar spray (on all house plants, and some outdoor too).
