How to fertilize orchids in winter and what fertilizer is best

1. Is it possible to apply fertilizer?

In winter, orchids will enter a dormant state. At this time, the plants do not need too much fertilizer, but generally they need to be fertilized. However, the amount of fertilizer must be reduced. Normal fertilization may cause fertilizer damage. If the breeding environment is relatively warm, for example, the temperature is around 18-20℃, then fertilization can still be done normally.

2. Fertilization method

When fertilizing, you can use organic fertilizer or quick-acting fertilizer. Usually when raising it at home, you can use bean cake fertilizer, or you can buy special fertilizer. Moreover, it is not necessary to apply fertilizer to the soil during the winter. You can also spray some foliar fertilizer on the plants, using potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

3. Notes

1. If the roots of the plant are unhealthy in winter, do not fertilize it first, because the plant itself has problems, and if you fertilize it again, it will put a certain burden on the roots of the plant.

2. If the temperature in the breeding environment is too low, you must not apply fertilizer to it. In addition, when it is too cold, you should pay attention to keeping warm to prevent the plants from being frostbitten.
