Orchid is a common indoor foliage plant, with wide leaves, bright green, and high ornamental value. In order to maintain the healthy growth and beauty of the orchid, it is very important to fertilize it properly. Below I will introduce to you the fertilization method of Junzi orchid.
Clivia. First of all, we need to understand the growth habits of the orchid. Monarch orchid prefers a warm and humid environment and has high light requirements, but is not tolerant of strong direct light. In terms of fertilization, the demand for fertilizer is more special, and it is necessary to use special foliage plant fertilizer.
Clivia. 1.Spring fertilization: Spring is the vigorous period for the growth of Junzi orchid, and the number of fertilization should be increased appropriately at this time to ensure sufficient nutrients**. You can choose a special fertilizer for foliage plants with a ratio of 20-20-20 nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and apply fertilizer every half a month. When fertilizing, pay attention to spreading the fertilizer evenly on the surface of the potting soil, and avoid direct contact with the roots of the plant to avoid burning the root system.
Clivia. 2.Summer fertilization: The temperature is high in summer, and the growth rate of Junzi orchid will slow down, so the number of fertilization should be appropriately reduced. You can choose a special fertilizer for foliage plants with a ratio of 15-15-30 nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and apply fertilizer once a month. Also take care to spread the fertilizer evenly on the surface of the potting soil and avoid direct contact with the roots of the plants.
Clivia. 3.Autumn fertilization: Autumn is the critical period for the growth of Junzi orchid, and the number of fertilization should be increased appropriately at this time to promote the growth of plants and the formation of flower buds. You can choose a special fertilizer for foliage plants with a ratio of 20-20-20 nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and apply fertilizer every two weeks. When fertilizing, pay attention to spreading the fertilizer evenly on the surface of the potting soil and avoid direct contact with the roots of the plant.
Clivia. 4.Winter fertilization: The temperature is low in winter, and the growth rate of Junzi orchid will slow down significantly, so the number of fertilization should be appropriately reduced at this time. You can choose a special fertilizer for foliage plants with a ratio of 15-15-30 nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and apply fertilizer once a month. Also take care to spread the fertilizer evenly on the surface of the potting soil and avoid direct contact with the roots of the plants.
Clivia. In addition to regular fertilization, foliar sprays can be applied appropriately. Foliar fertilizers containing nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium can be selected and sprayed every other month. When spraying, pay attention to spraying foliar fertilizer evenly on the leaves and avoid direct sunlight.
