What fertilizer should be used to make the ball orchid bloom? When is the best time to fertilize?

Even during the seedling stage, fertilizer is still needed. Spring and autumn are the main times for fertilization. In summer, the temperature is high and the weather is hot, so no fertilizer is needed, otherwise it will easily cause root burn and yellowing of leaves. When the temperature is high, the fertilizer evaporates very quickly, causing great damage to the roots.

Fertilizer for Hoya

Hoya is a flowering plant. Its fertilizer mainly consists of fertilizers containing phosphorus, supplemented by nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. It can be fertilized every month in spring and autumn. The principle of small amounts and multiple times should be followed. The frequency is about once every month. When fertilizing, granular fertilizer or liquid fertilizer can be used. In comparison, liquid fertilizer will be more effective.

Key points for fertilizing ball orchids

The time for fertilizing ball orchids is mainly divided into before planting, during the growth period and before flowering. The frequency of fertilizing during the growth period is about 1-2 times a month. Choose a thin liquid fertilizer that combines nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Before flowering, the nitrogen fertilizer content should be reduced and the phosphorus content should be increased to ensure the quality of flowering and the duration of flowering. When the weather gets colder in autumn and winter, the plants gradually enter a dormant period, and fertilization should be stopped at this time.
