How to fertilize cold orchid

Nutritional balance

One thing you need to pay attention to when fertilizing plants is to pay attention to the balance of nutrients. When applying top dressing, pay attention to controlling the concentration of fertilizer and be sure to strictly control the amount of fertilizer used. When the flowers are still in the seedling stage, you should pay attention to the types of fertilizers and avoid nitrogen, phosphorus and other fertilizers, because these fertilizers will promote the accelerated formation of chlorophyll. Generally, it is most appropriate to use decomposed fertilizer. It is worth noting that the decomposed fertilizer must be piled for more than one year before it can be used.

Fertilization principles

When fertilizing the cold orchid, you should follow the principle of applying thin fertilizers frequently. Use light fertilizers and apply them frequently. You should determine what fertilizer to apply and how much to apply based on the growth of the plant. Be careful not to apply heavy fertilizers, otherwise it will cause excess nutrition and burn the roots of the cold orchid. If conditions permit, it is best to choose dry fertilizers such as compound fertilizer and wood ash. You can also apply liquid fertilizers made mainly from organic decomposed fertilizers and urea, or you can use special flower fertilizers for topdressing.

Fertilization method

During the period of vigorous growth and development of the cold orchid, liquid fertilizer should be sprayed on the leaves every ten days or so. This will also enable the cold orchid to absorb nutrients well and promote the bright green and upright leaves. Even if no fertilizer is applied to the soil, the cold orchid can grow very strong. The use of flower fertilizer can be alternated with other fertilizers. Do not let the fertilizer contact the roots when applying fertilizer. It is best to water immediately after application to avoid damage to the root system of the orchid due to excessive fertilizer concentration.

In addition, you may find it difficult to imagine that aloe vera can be used for fertilization. It can be applied as a fertilizer for cold orchid. This juice is rich in many nutrients such as amino acids and special polysaccharides, as well as many mineral elements. It can not only promote the absorption of the plant but also ensure sufficient nutrients. Moreover, aloe vera also contains a special tincture substance, which can play an effective bactericidal role and can almost eliminate all pathogens. After using aloe vera juice, there is basically no need to use other drugs to prevent diseases.
