How to fertilize bamboo orchid

1. Fertilization time

During the growth period of the plant, fertilizer can be applied every 10 to 15 days, and special fertilizers can be used. Especially for novice flower growers, do not mix fertilizers blindly by yourself. If the plants are growing weakly or are small, the interval can be extended appropriately. Fertilization can be suspended at other times.

2. Fertilization method

Its fertilization is mainly by spraying fertilizer on the leaves, and it is not recommended to water the potting soil. It is better to apply light fertilizer rather than heavy fertilizer each time, and to apply fertilizer in a “little but frequent” manner. When spraying fertilizer, try not to do it around noon, or choose a time when there is no sunlight.

3. Notes

Fertilization can be stopped during the high temperatures in summer and the low temperatures in winter. During this period, its growth will slow down, so the demand for fertilizer will be greatly reduced. Forced fertilization may be detrimental to its growth.

If you want to fertilize the potting soil, be sure to keep it away from the roots, or pour it slowly along the edge of the pot. However, you can only use one method, spraying fertilizer or pouring fertilizer. Do not use both watering and spraying fertilizer, otherwise it will easily damage the shape of the plant.

PS: Aloe vera juice can be used as fertilizer. It does not cause any harm to plants and can also prevent the occurrence of various diseases and pests. The nutrients in aloe vera juice are also very sufficient, making it a good choice instead of flower fertilizer.
