What is the best fertilizer for orchids?

1. What kind of fertilizer to use

1. No matter what kind of flower it is, it needs specific nutrients at each stage of its growth and development, and the types, quantities and proportions are different. Fertilizing it is to meet its growth needs to the greatest extent possible.

2. If the elements of the fertilizer are unbalanced, too much or too little, its proportion will be out of balance, which will affect its normal growth.

3. According to its characteristics and different needs for various nutrients, we should comprehensively consider the fertilizer it needs and add fertilizer reasonably. The elements it generally needs are similar to those of other plants. There are mainly sixteen kinds, including C, O, H, P, K, Ca, etc. The dosage between them is quite different. Therefore, as long as the fertilizer contains these elements, it is a good fertilizer for it.

2. How to use fertilizer

1. Mainly add fertilizer to the back of its leaves. Many people only spray it on the front of its leaves when adding fertilizer, so that it does not absorb many nutrients, and there are more air holes on the back of its leaves, so sprinkling fertilizer on the back of its leaves can better promote its absorption.

2. Each time you add fertilizer, use a small amount but add it more often. If you add fertilizer to its leaves, you should use fertilizer that can be dissolved in water, and you cannot use the same method as ordinary fertilizer. Fertilizer should be sprayed on its leaves once every half a month or once a week. You must control its dosage and concentration each time and use it immediately after preparation, otherwise its ingredients will evaporate.

3. If it is planted outdoors, it should be sprayed with pesticides at 10 o'clock every day and around 4 o'clock in the afternoon in spring, summer and autumn. If it is planted indoors, it should be after 10 o'clock every day. Its growth is most vigorous during this period.

4. It is relatively simple to sprinkle fertilizer on its leaves, but if the details are not controlled well, its flowers will not be well taken care of, so the most scientific method should be adopted when sprinkling fertilizer on it.
