Orchids should be fertilized according to their different developmental stages
Orchids have different fertilizer requirements at different growth stages. Practice has shown that only by fertilizing according to the developmental stage can good fertilizer results be achieved and side effects be prevented. Dormant period: winter is the dormant period for orchid growth. At this time, fertilizing is generally not advisable. If fertilizer is applied, it instead disrupts the orchid's necessary dormancy and induces late-winter and early-spring buds, and these early-sprouting buds, unable to withstand low-temperature freeze damage, die, seriously reducing the germination rate the following spring. If the goal is to improve the plant's stress resistance, in early winter a 600-fold to 800-fold solution of monopotassium phosphate and multi-element micronutrient fertilizer can be sprayed on the leaves in the evening, once a week, for 2 to 3 consecutive times.
