Orchids need relatively more fertilizer.The first is the fertilizer used when planting or repotting, which is called base fertilizer.Moreover, it is the fertilizer used in its growth period, which also includes the fertilizer used in the flowering period, called topdressing.
The base fertilizer used in planting or repotting is mainly some solid fertilizer, which contains more organic matter and is conducive to the growth in the future.The main fertilizer used in topdressing is liquid fertilizer, which can be purchased directly from the store.
1. When the solid fertilizer is planted or repotted, it can be directly mixed with the soil evenly.The liquid fertilizer used in topdressing needs to be diluted with water, and the ratio of fertilizer to water can be controlled at about 1:200.
2, the frequency of fertilization should also pay attention to, if the orchid is in the seedling stage, then it needs relatively less fertilizer, fertilization times do not need too much, but once a month or so.Adult plants need relatively more fertilizer, about once every two weeks.
3. Nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used in the early stage of growth stage, and phosphorus fertilizer is mainly used in the flowering stage.
In winter, if the temperature is below 10 degrees, then the orchid will basically be in a state of no growth, at this time, it is necessary to suspend fertilization, otherwise it will cause harm to the plant.
