How to fertilize orchids in winter and what is the best fertilizer?

Winter temperature is very low, orchids will also go into dormancy, this time can be fertilized, but the amount of fertilizer will not be too much. If the temperature is normal, fertilization can also be carried out normally, and if the temperature is slightly lower, it is necessary to reduce fertilization. Fertilizer can be applied with organic fertilizer, quick-acting fertilizer, or foliar fertilizer for plants.

First, whether it is possible to apply fertilizer

Orchids go dormant in winter, when plants don't need too much fertilizer, and in general they need fertilizer. However, the amount of fertilizer must be reduced, if normal fertilization may cause fertilizer damage. If the culture environment is relatively warm, for example, the temperature is about 18-20 ℃, it can still be fertilized normally.

II. Fertilization methods

Organic fertilizer or quick-acting fertilizer can be used when fertilizing, usually bean cake fertilizer can be used when domestic, or it is OK to buy special fertilizer. Moreover, it is not necessary to fertilize the soil during the winter, you can also spray some foliar fertilizer to the plant, using potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

Matters needing attention

1. If the root of the plant is not healthy in winter, don't fertilize it first, because the plant itself is problematic, and if you fertilize it again, it will make the root of the plant suffer a certain burden.

2. If the temperature in the breeding environment is too low, it must not be fertilized. In addition, when it is too cold, you should also pay attention to keep warm, so as to avoid frostbite.
