Hello! I recently just got Miracle Gro Orchid Food water soluble, just wandering if I could use that on my succulents, thanks!

You can, just go super light! I’d dilute it a lot (like ¼ strength or less) and only use it occasionally. Succulents don’t need much food and too much can make them soft or burny. When in doubt, less is more with these guys 🙂

Ok, thanks! I just don’t want to buy different foods for all my plants.

I would not take the chance because it needs to be highly deluted. For most plants Super Thrive Foliage Pro would probably be better. Most succulents don’t even need fertilizer. Orchid food is very high in nitrogen. More than most plants need.
