The concept of fertilization in Chunlan in China

The idea that the more fertilizer is applied, the better the orchid plant will grow is wrong. If you give too much fertilizer, the orchid will die because of the overweight fertilizer, and even if you don't die, it will cause growth barrier. Therefore, the failure rate of cultivation caused by excessive fertilization is higher than that of no fertilizer at all.

Yes, the effect of using fertilizer is better, but for beginners, it is safer not to use fertilizer before they are familiar with the cultivation method, because even if there is no fertilizer, the growth of orchid plants will not be affected. Of course, if a small amount is applied, it can grow well.

For the sake of safety when applying fertilizer, if it is a solid fertilizer, please apply it according to half of the quantity specified in the instructions.

At present, the liquid fertilizers on the market are quite common, and various brands are constantly pushing out the old and bringing forth the new, but most of them are not special fertilizers for orchids. For orchids, they all disrelish that the concentration is too strong, so after carefully reading the instructions for use, they can be used in accordance with its concentration and then diluted twice as much, so as to avoid the danger of fertilizer damage. The key to the good development of orchid plants is the decrease of concentration, the increase of times and the substitution of fertilization instead of watering.

With the accumulation of planting time, cultivated orchids will cultivate confidence in cultivation, but this self-confidence will often become conceited in the third year, and many people will fail at this time. Because in the first year, we will pay attention to training step by step in accordance with the advice of advanced and experts. 2 after three years, with the accumulation of experience, we have good results and have great confidence in planting. At this time, we will inevitably have the illusion that we are far better than those advanced and experts who have spent more than 10 years of experience in contact with orchids. This arrogance often leads to failure.

The above is only a general cultivation method, because everyone has his own cultivation environment, usually the newly purchased orchids continue to be planted using the previous grower's method as far as possible in the first year, but after the second or third year, it can be gradually changed to match their own environment to cultivate, and can achieve better results.
