How to fertilize orchids? Remember these fertilizing key points

When fertilizing, the principle is to use a small amount, apply it diluted, apply it frequently, and apply it at the right time. All organic fertilizers must be fully fermented and decomposed before use. When using, pour a 20 to 30 times diluted solution along the rim of the pot, then replenish with clean water once the next morning. As for using raw soybean milk, it easily causes the soil surface to crust, so it is best to use it only after fermentation, or loosen the surface soil after pouring. Human breast milk can be poured directly along the rim of the pot, with 2 to 3 spoonfuls each time being suitable for a pot with a diameter of just over 10 cm. When fertilizing, try to avoid letting it enter the leaf sheaths or splash onto the leaf surface. This is especially true after new leaves are contaminated, as it more easily causes rot. Pour around the rim of the pot to avoid causing uneven growth among the leaf clusters or making new shoots and flower buds grow to one side. On the morning after fertilizing, clean water must be added to prevent improper concentration from damaging the orchid roots. It is best to fertilize in the morning or evening. If after fertilizing the leaves are found to turn yellow or the leaf tips become scorched yellow, it indicates that too much or too concentrated fertilizer was used, and the pot should be repotted and the soil changed immediately, and future additional fertilizing should be stopped. When repotting and changing the soilorchids, because base fertilizer is placed at the bottom of the pot, there is no need to fertilize again that year. (Lin Qingde, Mu Wei)
