Complete experience of watering and fertilizing orchids in June

Whether or not to fertilize orchids in June mainly depends on the temperature and environment of the maintenance location.

If the temperature is below 30 degrees Celsius, the light intensity is moderate, and the humidity is above 55%, then the orchid will continue to grow and will not go dormant. Then you can fertilize the orchid. Pay attention to the following points when fertilizing orchids:

1. Do not apply in high temperatures, choose the evening when the weather is cooler.

2. Do not apply concentrated fertilizer or unfermented fertilizer.

3. Do not apply fertilizer to weak and diseased seedlings or newly potted seedlings.

4. Do not let the fertilizer liquid get into the new sprouts to avoid bud rot;.

5. On the second day after fertilizing, water the plant thoroughly, wash off the fertilizer water on the leaves, and filter out the residual fertilizer in the pot to prevent fertilizer damage.

It is recommended that you use "organic fertilizer water" when fertilizing. Solid organic fertilizer is easy to breed bacteria in the humid environment of June. When fertilizing orchids in June, pay attention to applying "thin fertilizer".

In other words, the fertilizer can be diluted several times compared to the peak growth period in spring and autumn.

In addition, for four-season orchids, June is the time when the flowering period is weak. As long as the temperature is suitable, you should trim the withered flowers in time and replenish nutrients.

After applying organic fertilizer water, about 2 times, each time with an interval of 15 days, you can use "potassium dihydrogen phosphate" diluted with 1200 times water again, and spray it on the leaves to prepare for the next crop of flowers.

When fertilizing orchids in summer, you must pay attention to the temperature. In an environment above 32 degrees Celsius, orchids will enter a dormant period. If the temperature is not suitable, do not force the orchids to fertilize. You can wait until the temperature is suitable in autumn and replenish nutrients in time to promote growth.
