They also have a fertilizer, so I thought I should specify - The root stimulant.
I usually use a thirty gallon pail for my dunking tank, but I suspect I will need to use a separate pail for this product; probably a twenty gallon pail.

I would rather keep a large pail rather than something I would have to pour out in the yard every week or so. (If you saw my yard, you would know why I don't want to pour a root supplement around.)

Love to know how you handle this stuff on your orchids.
as well as the longevity once diluted.

Like most organic materials, bacteria love it and will readily begin breaking it down once diluted. You're best to make what you'll use in a single treatment, but keeping it a day or two should not be an issue.

I recommend the following for orchids:

Plants with no roots
►Using warm water, immerse the entire plant for an hour or two.
►Without rinsing, pot it up, and water it in with that solution.
►For the next two waterings, use the Kelpak solution.

New plants and repotting plants with decent root systems
►Pot them up and water them in with the Kelpak solution.
►Repeat the next two waterings.

Existing, established plants (and those above, after the recommended treatments)
►Add to irrigation water or fertilizer solution once per month.

I have been known to treat plants twice a month to really kick-start them.
