When is the best time to fertilize orchids? Master the correct fertilization timing

① In early spring, when the potted orchids are brought out of the house, you can give theorchidswithout flower buds a light fertilizer once, and again half a month later. ② During the sprouting period of young shoots and new roots, more nutrients are required, so you can fertilize twice on sunny days, with more than ten days between each application. ③ During the "plum rain" period, the daughter plants grow very fast, breaking through the soil one after another, new roots multiply, and flower buds germinate along with them; at this time, you can fertilize once or twice on sunny days, with more than ten days between each application. ④ At "Minor Heat", if theorchid plantsare thin and weak, apply one more light fertilizer. ⑤ From "White Dew" to "Autumnal Equinox", the new leaves have fully grown and the flower buds have all their layers of sheaths complete; at this time you can apply the last light fertilizer, but it must be more dilute and more plentiful than before. ⑥ After "Cold Dew", the roots, leaves and flower buds have all fully grown; if there are "autumn stems" (that is, new shoots grown after autumn) that have not yet fully grown, you can apply fertilizer to them once more as appropriate.
