In the busy city life, growing orchids has become a pleasant way for many people to relax and purify the air. However, in order to raise orchids well, in addition to paying attention to basic maintenance such as watering and light, the correct use of organic fertilizers is also crucial. This article will focus on the frequency and method of use of liquid organic fertilizer and solid organic fertilizer in the knowledge of flower cultivation to help flower lovers better care for their orchids.
Frequency and method of use of liquid organic fertilizer.
Liquid organic fertilizer is a very convenient and easy-to-use fertilizer for raising flowers, which can provide sufficient nutrients for orchids. Generally speaking, liquid organic fertilizer is more effective when orchids are growing vigorously, and can usually be diluted with water and used once every half a month or so. The application method is also relatively simple, just add the organic fertilizer to the water in the proportion on the package, and then water it evenly around the roots of the orchid.
When using liquid organic fertilizer, you need to pay attention to the following:
Use in moderation: Don't be greedy. Excessive use of organic fertilizer may cause root rot in orchid roots, affecting growth and health.
Uniform fertilization: Try to ensure that the fertilizer is evenly watered around the plant to avoid uneven fertilizer concentration.
Reasonable proportion: Dilute the fertilizer in strict accordance with the ratio on the fertilizer packaging, too high or too low concentration will cause harm to the orchid.
Frequency and method of use of solid organic fertilizer.
Compared with liquid organic fertilizer, solid organic fertilizer is usually used more frequently. In general, solid organic fertilizer can be used every 1 to 2 months. Solid organic fertilizer is released relatively slowly, which can provide continuous and stable nutrients for orchids.
Attention needs to be paid when using solid organic fertilizers:
Buried in the soil: Bury the solid organic fertilizer evenly into the soil where the orchid grows, at an appropriate distance from the roots of the plant, and avoid direct contact with the roots.
Avoid accumulation: Do not over-accumulate solid organic fertilizer around the plant to avoid over-concentration of fertilizer.
Pay attention to the cycle: After each use of solid organic fertilizer, observe the growth of orchids, and adjust the time and amount of the next fertilization as needed.
Conclusion: Proper use of organic fertilizers is one of the keys to the healthy growth of orchids. Liquid organic fertilizer is suitable for use every half month when the orchid is growing vigorously, while solid organic fertilizer is more suitable for use every 1 to 2 months. Whether it is liquid or solid organic fertilizer, it is necessary to follow the principles of appropriate use, uniform fertilization and reasonable ratio to ensure that orchids can get the right amount of nutrients and grow healthy and strong. Hopefully, this article will help readers take better care of their orchids and let them bloom with your care.
