How to fertilize the dragon beard orchid

Fertilization time and method:

Dragon beard orchid likes fertilizer, and it will grow stronger with sufficient fertilizer, so apply fertilizer about once every 10 to 12 days, and try to keep the concentration of fertilizer as light as possible each time.

Most dragon beard orchids will enter a dormant state after all their leaves fall off, and you can stop fertilizing at this time.

In fact, the dragon beard orchid can also be fertilized on the leaves, which can make its leaves brighter in color and grow fuller and healthier. It should be staggered with soil fertilization, but the fertilizer concentration must be dilute and light to avoid burning the leaves.

Fertilization precautions:

When loosening or changing the soil for planting dragon beard orchid, be careful not to let the fertilizer come into contact with the roots. If there is too much fertilizer or it is too concentrated, it can easily burn the roots or even cause unnecessary diseases. At this time, you can add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to the soil. Base fertilizer is also very important for the growth of dragon beard orchid.

Each time you apply fertilizer, try to apply as little fertilizer as possible and apply it sparsely. The quality of fertilization will be directly related to its flowering status.

Fertilizer selection:

You can buy special fertilizers and mix them in reasonable proportions according to their instructions, or you can choose farmyard manure, which is fertilizer rich in organic matter.

Note: In fact, the main reason for applying fertilizer is that there is a lack of certain nutrients in the soil, and the plants need this nutrient, so we apply fertilizer instead of applying all nutrients to the soil. This can easily cause plant poisoning, which is what we call fertilizer damage.
