How long to fertilize orchids after repotting?

1. How often to fertilize

The roots of orchids are not like those of other plants. Their roots are very fragile. Even if they are properly maintained, it takes about three months to fertilize them. If you apply fertilizer too quickly, it won't be absorbed and will burn the roots. Also, you cannot water the plant immediately after repotting. It will take at least a week to water and spray it properly.

2. Problems that may occur after repotting

1. If the outer leaves become dry and black after repotting, it means the roots were damaged during the repotting. You can carry out normal maintenance first. If there are no more adverse symptoms after a period of time, it means the repotting was successful.

2. If the adverse symptoms are serious and the dry part is expanding, it is necessary to remove it from the pot, check the root system, trim off the rotten part, and plant it again after sterilization.

3. Maintenance

After repotting, it is best to place it in a well-ventilated place and avoid direct sunlight. Try to provide it with some diffuse light, or place it under the shade of a tree.
