Orchid Fertilization Tips: How to Use Orchid Fertilizer Correctly

According to the nutrient requirements of different plants, different seasons, and different growth stages of plants, as long as you follow the instructions and choose the corresponding water-soluble fertilizer at different growth stages of the plant, to meet the normal growth needs of the plant in different seasons and different growth stages, can it exert its inherent effectiveness.

    According to the nutrient requirement characteristics of plants, they can be divided into the following categories:

    Plant seedling stage: the demand for phosphorus fertilizer is relatively low, while the demand for calcium and magnesium fertilizer is relatively high. If too much phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is applied, it will cause premature flower bud differentiation in plant seedlings, resulting in "old seedlings" with insufficient calcium and magnesium, thin and weak stems of small seedlings that are not thick and strong, prone to yellowing and lodging, and very weak disease resistance. The natural seaweed fertilizer "Xishuo", originally imported from Australia, does not contain nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium fertilizer. It contains trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, sulfur, copper, manganese, aluminum, boron, zinc, lead, vitamin B, carotene, chlorophyll, etc., and can effectively prevent adverse conditions that occur in plants during the seedling stage. For general plant use, it can be diluted about 2000-3000 times, once every 10-14 days. At the same time, it can be used in combination with other high-nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers during other stages of plant growth.

    Plant transplanting and cutting rooting stage: at this time, the main goal is to promote plant root development and improve the survival rate. Focus on root growth so that the root system develops rapidly. The water-soluble fertilizer Zhiben produced in the United States has a clear effect on promoting plant rooting and improving the survival rate. It is a plant rooting agent. It contains a guaranteed composition of 88% comprehensive plant root nutritional supplement and 12% rooting elements. For general normal plants, dilute about 2000 times when using. Spray directly on the leaves or roots, once a week, and it can make plants grow rapidly and produce new roots.

    Plant flower bud differentiation stage and flowering stage: during this period, plants have a relatively large demand for phosphorus fertilizer.

    Zhiji is refined from natural fresh sea fish. It is a new-century powerful flowering fertilizer imported from the United States, and can effectively promote plant flower bud differentiation, promote flowering, make flower colors bright and vivid, and increase the rate of flower and fruit setting. How to use: dilute 1000 times and spray on the plant or pour at the roots, once every 7-10 days.

    Plant fruiting stage and fruit expansion stage: at this time, plants have a relatively large demand for potassium and a relatively low demand for nitrogen. At the same time, ensuring sufficient calcium and magnesium supply can improve fruit firmness and prevent the occurrence of fruit heart rot and disease. At this time, if too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, it will cause excessive vegetative growth of plant stems and leaves, flower drop, and fruit drop,pests and diseasesincrease.

    At this time, Xishuo and Zhishuo 3# can be used alternately. Zhishuo 3# has a nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ratio of 15:15:30:1. It is a quick-acting fertilizer and can quickly supply various trace elements indispensable for plant growth, with especially high contents of potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen. It is soluble in water and can be used as a foliar fertilizer. After spraying on the leaves, it can be absorbed by the crop within 24 hours, with fast results, and it can also be used for root irrigation. And Xishuo can ensure sufficient calcium and magnesium supply. Generally, the use concentration of Zhishuo 3# is about 1000-1500 times, once every 7-14 days.
