The season of cutting pitaya is spring, because it grows better at this time, the climate is stable, and it will be easier to take root if cutting. When cutting, it is also divided into positive and negative, and one side of the incision should be downward. It should be noted that the substrate should be disinfected when cutting, and the bottom of the stem node should also be disinfected. And don't water it in a hurry after cutting, usually wait 10 days before watering it.

1. Can I do it?

Orchids can be fertilized with cake fertilizer.Cake fertilizer is a good fertilizer, and it can be used to raise orchids.But before using it, it must be fermented well, otherwise it will be fermented in the soil after application, which will affect the normal growth of plants and easily lead to the problem of fertilizer damage and root burning.

Cake fertilizer is generally the residue left after oil extraction, such as soybean cake, rapeseed cake, hemp cake, peanut cake, walnut cake, tea cake and so on, which can be used to fertilize orchids.It can be used as base fertilizer and topdressing fertilizer, which is of great help to orchid rooting, germination and so on, and can provide nutrients for plant growth.It should be noted that winter is the dormant period of orchid growth, and it is not suitable to apply cake fertilizer.

2. cake fertilizer water can do

Cake fertilizer water can be used to water orchids, but it also needs to be fully fermented and diluted before it can be used to water orchids.After the fresh cake fertilizer is crushed, it is put into a container filled with clean water, stirred evenly and kept still for more than one day, the longer the time, the better.Then take the clear liquid on the surface and pour the orchid along the edge of the flowerpot.When fertilizing, it is best to do it in the evening, so that the plants can fully absorb it overnight.The next day, it is watered back again to dilute the excess fertilizer, so that flowers can better absorb nutrients, and also avoid the problem of fertilizer damage.
