To apply fertilizer to orchids, we should master these skills. Wild leaves, green and glossy flowers bloom all over the branches.

Orchids are loved by many flower lovers, and watering is often a big problem in raising orchids. In fact, fertilization is also important. If it is not applied well, it will either burn roots or grow poorly, which cannot be made up for by watering.

So cultivate orchids to fertilize to master these skills, the leaves are green and shiny, the flowers are full of branches!

The amount of fertilizer required by orchids is different in each stage, which can be divided into seedling stage, growth stage and mature stage.

For the seedling stage, it is necessary to make it survive quickly, take root and sprout quickly, so the demand for nitrogen element is more, but the root system is fragile, so it is easy to cause damage to it, so it is necessary to apply thin fertilizer frequently. Some diluted urea can be applied with high fertilizer efficiency, fast absorption and rapid growth.

During the growing period, nutrition should be balanced, and this stage is generally dominated by organic fertilizer, which not only allows it to continue to grow, but also prepares for flower bud differentiation and flowering, and can apply some fermented Amoy rice water, fish intestines water, and so on. You can also bury some bone meal and earthworm dung into the basin soil to let it grow comprehensively.

In the mature period, it is necessary to give priority to phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, apply less or stop nitrogen fertilizer as much as possible, apply special nutrient solution, and then use diluted potassium dihydrogen phosphate for extra-root topdressing, so that the leaves are greener and glossy, the flowers bloom more exuberantly, and the flower fragrance is thicker. Prolong the flowering period.

When applying fertilizer, you should pay attention to two points:

1. The best fertilization time is in the evening. On the day of fertilization, watering water first in the morning, and then watering again the next day, can make orchids absorb nutrients better and cause less damage to roots.

2. Fertilization should not be too close to the head, which will cause damage to the pseudobulb and affect the differentiation of flower buds and the growth of leaves.
