The period of fertilizing orchids

1. Seedling stage

At this time, the orchid is in the seedling stage in spring, which is the best period for its growth, so timely fertilization can promote the growth of the orchid, mainly applying some compound fertilizer or some nutrient diluent. This can make the orchid in the seedling stage better absorbed and accelerate its growth rate.

2. Growth period

Summer and autumn are the peak growing seasons of orchids, so an appropriate amount of nutrients should be applied to orchids. It is not appropriate to apply too much fertilizer in summer. It is enough to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once in summer, and it will begin to increase fertilization when it looks like October. Because orchids need to grow and store enough nutrients to spend the winter.

3. Dormant period

The orchid in the dormant period can stop fertilizing, because no matter how much fertilizer is applied at this time, it can not make the orchid grow rapidly, on the contrary, it will have the opposite effect, which is not conducive to the normal growth of the plant. generally, the orchid in the dormant period can be given a solid fertilizer to enhance the cold resistance of the orchid and pass the winter smoothly.
