Tips for fertilizing orchids

Fertilization should be based on the principle of small amount, sparse, frequently irrigated and timely.

All organic fertilizers must be fully fermented before they can be used. When in use, the diluent of 20 to 30 times is poured along the edge of the basin, and the fresh water is boiled again in the morning. As for burning with raw soybean milk, it is easy to cause soil surface hardening, so it is best to use it after fermentation, or to loosen the topsoil after pouring. Human milk can be directly burned around the pan, the appropriate amount of 2 tablespoons at a time, the diameter of the basin mouth is more than 10 cm.

Try to avoid entering the leaf sheath or splashing into the leaf surface when fertilizing. Especially after the pollution of the new leaf station, it is more likely to cause decay. It should be irrigated around the edge of the basin so as not to cause different foliage bundles or partial growth of new grass and buds. Fresh water must be irrigated in the morning after fertilization to prevent improper concentration from injuring the root of orchid.

It is better to apply fertilizer in the morning and evening. If the leaf color is yellow and the leaf tip is scorched yellow after fertilization, it means that if you use too much fertilizer or too much fertilizer, you should immediately turn the pot to change the soil and stop topdressing in the future.

Because of the bottom fertilizer on the bottom of the pot, there is no need to fertilize the orchids that year. (Lin Qingde, Mu Wei)
