Be careful when pouring yogurt on orchids

Some flower friends are greatly inspired by their thinking and plan to water orchids with yogurt, or see that orchids grow better after being watered with yogurt. Here we need to tell orchids to be cautious, because other people's methods are not necessarily suitable for themselves. and watering orchids with yogurt is not necessarily the work of yogurt, let's take a look at two cases.

Case 1: on the National Day in 2013, I gave my father-in-law a pot of ordinary spring orchids and planted them well. When I went home in 2014, Ching Ming Festival found that he had raised it half-dead at home and almost had few grasses left. I replanted the few seedlings I had, and on the whole they were gone. When I went home for the Spring Festival in 2015, when I looked at this pot of grass, I felt strange and turned into a big basin! I asked my father-in-law if this was the orchid. He said yes, but washed the yogurt bottle and watered the orchid several times! I don't know if yogurt is so effective! Suddenly thought of this today, also try to see the effect!

Ps: maybe it's just an accident. As mentioned in the first paragraph, maybe the growth of orchids is not due to yogurt.

Case 2: six or seven years ago, when I saw someone in the forum saying how good it was to water yogurt, I tried it and tried it with common grass first. Half a year later, I saw that there was no problem. The orchid grew very well, and the scope of watering was expanded in the second year. In the middle, I continued to strictly follow the fertilizer requirements of orchids, no watering in summer, no watering in winter, no watering of new grass, grass and weak grass, and concentration control for half a year. In autumn, found that there are several pots of grass wrong, quickly turn the pot, the result is bad, most of the Langen blackened and rotten, some have empty roots, this heartache ah, remorse ah, indescribable. Hurry up to turn the basin, change the material, and take measures to save your life. Several varieties of Chunlan went west, while the two pots of Cymbidium died in the spring of the second year. The orchid flowers that have been accumulated for more than 10 years have been destroyed several times. This is my experience and lesson for your reference.

If you must try, provide some experience: 1, the concentration must be low, 5 / 1000 is better; 2, it must be fermented and mature; 3, it should only be poured every 15-20 days in April, May, October and November; 4, the fertilizer content of the material in the basin should be below medium, it can not be watered in the first year of the new basin, and it can only be watered on the second day after watering. This is my experience, just for reference.

In fact, we are not short of fertilizer, there is no need to apply these unproven organic matter to orchids. I hope Lanyou can be careful!
