What fertilizer to use for growing Cymbidium kanran

CultivationCymbidium kanranoften fails due to improper fertilization, and this kind of failure caused by improper fertilization is often very difficult to remedy, so special attention must be paid. People often say,cultivatingCymbidium kanranas long as there is sufficient sunlight and water, it is safer not to fertilize. That is true, but for good flower color, fertilization is still necessary. Just first abandon the incorrect idea that the more fertilizer applied, the better it grows, and use an appropriate amount of fertilizercultivation. There are many fertilizers sold on the market now. Since organic fertilizers are slow-release fertilizers and cause less fertilizer damage, when cultivatingCymbidium kanranorganic fertilizers are mostly used. Organic fertilizers can be divided into two types: liquid and solid. Liquid organic fertilizer can be mixed yourself: mix oil cake, rice bran, and bone meal at a ratio of 1:1:0.5 to make 100 grams, stir the mixture evenly, then add 1 liter of water and let it ferment. After fully fermenting for about 6 months to one year, dilute it 100 times before use, and the effect is quite good. Because the fermentation process of liquid organic fertilizer produces a foul odor, it is still more hygienic and convenient to buy commercially available fully fermented solid organic fertilizer. When using commercially sold fertilizer, for safety, try to adopt the method of small amounts applied frequently, so as to avoid fertilizer damage. Usually, fertilize 2-3 times a month during the growing period, but do not fertilize during the plum rain period and the hot summer. For solid fertilizer, use 3-4 granules each time, placed at the edge of the pot. (You Chongkui)
