Recently, flower growers are increasingly growing exotic orchids. But in order for the plant to please with its appearance, it needs to provide comfortable conditions. Fertilizer for orchids plays an important role in the care. Indeed, it largely depends on how the plant feels and when it will bloom again. Therefore, it is important to know about the rules for feeding the crop.
Fertilizers for home orchids
Top dressing for ordinary indoor flowers will not work for an exotic beauty. After all, it needs a certain ratio of all minerals. Moreover, such preparations are highly concentrated. And an excess of minerals has a bad effect on the development of culture. Therefore, it is important to buy products labeled “orchids”.
Fertilizers for orchids are especially important during the growing season.
There are many drugs that feed an exotic beauty. The following are especially popular:
- “Agricola”;
- “Dr. Foley”;
- ברעקסיל קאָמבי.
If you grow phalaenopsis, you can fertilize it with Ideal, Garden of Miracles and Oasis. But remember that these drugs are highly concentrated. Therefore, to fertilize orchids, it is necessary to use a dosage 10 times less than indicated on the package.
How to apply fertilizer for orchid bloom
First of all, study the label of the drug and figure out which substance is more in it. If nitrogen predominates, then this fertilizer is used to build up green mass by the plant. Those products in which there is more phosphorus and potassium are used to improve the flowering of the crop. Fertilization rules:
- Do not feed recently transplanted flowers that have become diseased and weakened by crop pests.
- Top dressing should be applied during the growing season.
- Use the preparations after watering. Then they will not burn the delicate root system of the orchids.
- In the spring and fall, give the plant every 14 days. Reduce top dressing to once a month in summer and winter.
- Do not fertilize your orchid during active flowering.
- Remove drops of drugs that have fallen on the growth points, as well as in the leaf axils.
- Use only liquid preparations.
- Try to feed in the early morning or cloudy weather.
- Monitor the room temperature while feeding. It should be between +17 and + 23 ° C.
Orchid is a rather capricious plant. And for normal growth and development, she needs various fertilizers and feeding. But in order for the drugs to bring maximum benefit, they must be used correctly.
