Bayer Rose formula questions

[Joyorchid]

I bought this because I found mealy bugs on 2 of my phals. I am not sure what concentration to use especially since it has a 9-14-9 fertilizer in it. Has anyone used this and if so, how do you mix it and apply?

I have only used the spray without fertilizer that is premixed. Sorry that I can't help

Bayer has many products with similar names. It would help if you could provide the exact name of the product that you have.

This is what I bought at Lowes:
All-In-One Rose & Flower Care | Bayer Advanced

Granules or concentrate?

[Joyorchid]

Sorry, I have the granules.

[DavidCampen]

I would suggest giving that product to someone who has roses but I have never used it so maybe it is OK. I don't like it because it has a large amount of fertilzer that could burn orchid roots and a large amount of an anti-fungal and anti-fungals can be phytotoxic; also the label only gives dosage in "capfuls" so I have no idea what dosage they are talking about.

Thanks, David. Perhaps I will return it and keep looking for something more appropriate.

I avoid using consumer grade products because the labels are so simplified that a lot of information is lost but here is a Bayer product that might be more suitable (but again, I have not used it):
Dual Action Rose & Flower Insect Killer Sizes & Product Labels | Bayer Advanced

I spray Thiacloprid (Calypso) or Deltamethrin (Decis) of Bayer if needed. The normal concentration is 0,1%, it is 1 ml per liter.
If I use fertilizer, I take 100 - 300 mikroSiemens for orchids.
Granula are made for plants like roses. They are inappropriate for epiphytic orchids.
Please take a liquid insectizide. Use it outside and away from pets and children.
