1、 Fertilization time

The fertilizer demand of orchids is relatively large. The first is the fertilizer used when planting or changing pots, which is called base fertilizer. In addition, it is the fertilizer used during its growth period, including the fertilizer used during flowering, which is called topdressing

2、 Fertilizer type

The base fertilizer used when planting or changing pots is mainly some solid fertilizer, which contains more organic matter, which is conducive to subsequent growth. Liquid fertilizer is mainly used in topdressing, which can be purchased and used directly from stores

3、 Fertilization method

1. When planting or changing pots, solid fertilizer can be directly mixed with the soil evenly. The liquid fertilizer used for topdressing needs to be diluted with water, and the ratio of fertilizer to water can be controlled at about 1:200

2. We should also pay attention to the frequency of fertilization. If the orchid is in the seedling stage, it needs less fertilizer, and the fertilization times need not be too many, but about once a month. Adult plants need more fertilizer, which can be applied once every two weeks

3. Nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used in the early stage of growth stage, and phosphorus fertilizer is mainly used in flowering stage

4、 Precautions

In winter, if the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, the orchid will basically be in a state of no growth. At this time, fertilization needs to be suspended, otherwise it will cause harm to the plant
