Precautions for fertilization

When raising orchids, we should pay attention to that if they are newly planted, do not apply fertilizer in the first year, and then apply fertilizer after the second year. If the orchid has grown to a certain age, fertilization is to provide nutrients and make it bloom better. Generally, nitrogen fertilizer should be used in the early stage and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be used in the later stage, so that there will be more nutrients for flower bud differentiation

When applying fertilizer, pay attention not to be greedy for cheap. Directly use rice washing water to water flowers, which is easy to cause various problems of flowers, change the acidity and alkalinity of soil, or burn roots

What fertilizer is better

When raising orchids at home, from the perspective of maintaining hygiene, we should pay attention to the selection of some slow-release fertilizers, so that the fertilizer effect will be relatively long, and there is no need to worry about the harm of excessive nutrients

Select fertilizer with sufficient elements to meet the demand of orchids for fertilizer. You can also use special fertilizer to promote rooting and sprouting, so as to make it better grow roots and leaves

There is also a relatively simple one, that is, go to the flower market to buy some special orchid fertilizer or organic fertilizer. This is still relatively safe and can meet the growth needs of orchids

But be careful not to apply too much fertilizer
