What fertilizer can orchids use to bloom more? How to make homemade orchid fertilizer

1. What fertilizer to use

Fertilizers such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, bean cake fertilizer, fruit enzyme, leaf mold fertilizer, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, orchid-specific fertilizer, and compound granular fertilizer can be applied to promote more orchid flowering. When applying fertilizer, you need to follow the principle of "applying small amounts of fertilizer frequently" to avoid fertilizer damage. The best time to apply fertilizer is in the evening, water once the next morning, and apply fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. In addition, nutrients need to be replenished in time after flowering to allow the plant to survive the winter smoothly, resist the spring cold, and not hinder the plant's normal growth in the second year. In the high temperatures of summer and slow growth of plants in winter, the root system's ability to absorb nutrients is reduced, so fertilizers do not need to be used to avoid fertilizer damage to the roots.

2. Methods

1. Homemade nitrogen fertilizer: You can use vegetable leaves, peanuts or expired milk powder, grind them into powder and put them into a clean and light-transmitting container. Then add half more clean water into the container and seal the opening. Then place it in a place with sufficient light, and when the surface solution in the container turns black, you can use it to water the orchid. However, before use, it needs to be diluted with clean water and the concentration should not exceed 5%.

2. Homemade phosphate fertilizer: Put fish bones, pig bones, egg skins and other things into a container, then pour in clean water and fermentation agent, and then seal the container. After the material in the container has fully decomposed and fermented, take out the upper solution, dilute it with water, and use it to water the orchid.

3. Homemade potassium fertilizer: You can use the remaining tea, add a fermentation agent to it, wait for it to be fully fermented and decomposed, then add water for use. You can also mix wood ash with water and apply it to orchids.
