In order to cultivate orchids, it should be noted that such orchids must not be fertilized or the loss outweighs the gain.

Many people are eager to raise orchids and want them to flourish and blossom, so they apply various fertilizers to orchids, which is counterproductive. No plant can grow without nutrients, but there are several situations in which fertilization is absolutely impossible. Most people ignore this point and often raise orchids half-dead because of fertilization. Do not apply fertilizer in the following situations.

1. Orchids that have just come into the pot should not be fertilized. The freshly transplanted orchids have weak vitality and resistance, and their roots have not formed into one with the plant materials, and they do not have the ability to absorb nutrients, so fertilization will easily infect the virus and cause rotten roots and buds. 2, the growth of orchids is weak and it is not suitable to apply fertilizer. The weak growth of the orchid plant indicates that there are problems with the root system or symptoms of decay, so you must not apply fertilizer at this time. You should place it in a cool and ventilated place for observation for a period of time, and often spray the foliar surface with thin foliar fertilizer. If it cannot return to normal, then you need to change the soil and transplant again.

3. It is not suitable to apply fertilizer in high temperature weather. In the high temperature weather, the orchid grows very slowly or has entered a semi-dormant state, and the root system is in a state of growth pause or semi-pause, which can not absorb the nutrients in the plant, so fertilization is very easy to cause fertilizer damage. 4. No fertilization in winter. Winter orchids have entered dormancy or semi-dormancy, orchid plants have basically stopped growing, therefore, orchids can not be fertilized in winter.

5, the orchid plant can not be fertilized before it germinates. Orchids generally send out a few small buds in spring or autumn, which shows that orchids grow normally. If they do not sprout in a year, do not rush to fertilize. Because the orchid does not germinate for a long time, it means that there is something wrong with the orchid, mostly because the root system is weak or too few, and fertilization will do great harm to the orchid. 6. When applying fertilizer to orchids, we must remember that it is better to have less and more than others, not because orchids do not grow well, that is, they lack fertilizer. Although orchids grow poorly, they will not cause rotten roots and death. If you fertilize a little more, it is not only not conducive to the growth of orchids, but also very easy to hurt orchids and orchid seedlings.
