How to fertilize Basoglossum

time

The fertilizer required for the bracteolate in its developmental stage is not much. For the bracteolate with vigorous growth, you can choose to apply fertilizer once every 10-15 days.

What fertilizer to apply

When applying fertilizer to bracts, pay attention to the balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and strictly control the concentration.

For leaf-shaped orchids, the synthesis of chlorophyll should be controlled. It is not advisable to apply nitrogen fertilizer or fertilizers containing manganese and magnesium (such as calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer, etc.), because manganese and magnesium can accelerate the synthesis of chlorophyll. For flower orchids, if large-petal flowers are cultivated, nitrogen fertilizer can be added in appropriate amounts.

For general domestic bracts, you can use 1:1000 potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 1:1000 boron fertilizer. You can also use aloe vera liquid, because aloe vera liquid contains a large amount of polysaccharides and amino acids, and contains many minerals, which can kill viruses and bacteria, so there is no need to apply pesticides to prevent diseases.

Fertilization method

When fertilizing bracts, general chemical fertilizers should be applied mainly by spraying on the leaves. This method can supplement the nutrients of the plant through the leaves without allowing the fertilizer to contaminate the roots.

During the growth and development period, you can grow orchids well by spraying fertilizer on the leaves every 10 days or so, without having to fertilize the pots.

For bracteata, fertilizer should be applied frequently and thinly, that is, multiple times and in small amounts.

Precautions

For general farm manure, it is best to leave it for more than a year and use it after it is fully decomposed.

The liquid farmyard manure should be diluted with water before application. When applying fertilizer, try to apply it on the edge of the pot to prevent the leaves and roots from being contaminated by fertilizer.

Natural organic fertilizers have comprehensive nutritional elements and do not require other fertilizers. They are mild in nature and have no side effects on plants. Chemical fertilizers can easily cause the substrate to become compacted and are mostly acidic. Long-term application can cause the substrate to become overly acidic and cause diseases. So try to apply more natural organic fertilizers.
