How often should you fertilize orchids that have just been potted?

1. How often to fertilize

There is no fixed time limit for when to fertilize a newly potted orchid. It depends on its acclimatization. Fertilizer can be applied after it has completely acclimatized. After it acclimates to the pot, it will grow new crystal heads, which means that it can absorb nutrients normally and adapt to the new potting soil environment. Or the speed of weeding becomes very slow, the leaves of the new seedlings become very green and shiny, and the new shoots are also very vibrant.

2. Precautions for fertilization

Fertilizing orchids usually refers to top dressing, because base fertilizer will be applied when potting, and chemical fertilizer, organic fertilizer or foliar fertilizer can be applied after the orchids have adapted to the pot. There are many ways to apply fertilizer, but no matter how you apply it, you must pay attention to two points.

1. If you apply chemical fertilizers, you must ensure that the proportions are balanced. The fertilizer cannot be too single and the amount of fertilizer cannot be excessive. You must strictly follow the instructions. 2. If you apply organic fertilizer, you must first fully ferment it and sterilize it thoroughly. Otherwise, it will release a lot of heat after application, burn the root system, and may also breed a large number of bacteria, affecting the growth of the plant.
