Richard, the orchid food from Lily Miller is ‘Spoonit Bloomit.’ Int. Ag. Labs sell ‘Bloomit.” The names are very similar but they’re not the same product. The orchid food is a powder. Bloomit is a liquid.  The ingredients are different. Bloomit is not listed on Int. Ag. Lab’s website. If you’re interested, you’d have to call them.

Are we talking about the dormant season orchid food (6-30-30) that is called Bloomit are does Int. Ag. Labs have another product called the same name?

  If you're hit with a hard frost, International Ag Labs in MN has a product called Bloomit that might be able to give you a second or possibly a third bloom, provided your plant has the energy.  I get hit every year with frost and at the Acres conference asked Jon Frank for help.  Bloomit keeps for three years and costs about $30 for 2.5 gallons. I'll keep some on hand for insurance but hope I won't need it.  Jon's number is (507) 235-6909.
