Key Points of Fertilization Techniques and Detailed Explanation of Practical Fertilization Methods

1. For water-soluble quick-acting fertilizers, the dilution concentration must follow the multiples specified in the instructions; never increase the concentration on your own. Beginners should rather dilute it more than 1 times further to be safe. 2. The principle of fertilizing is "small amounts, many times"; never underestimate even a tiny bit of fertilizer. Excessive fertilizing is absolutely harmful with no benefit, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage that cannot be remedied. 3. Slow-release fertilizers placed in the growing medium can be mixed directly into the potting mix. If planting on a tree fern board (column), they can be wrapped with mesh or gauze and hung near the upper part of the roots. 4.Orchidsroots and leaves can both absorb fertilizer, so it is best to wet the orchid plant before fertilizing. 5. A small amount of "spreader" can be added to water-soluble fertilizers to increase the fertilizer's adhesion. 6. When spraying pesticides to prevent and controlpests and diseases, fertilizer can be mixed in and sprayed at the same time, which is more convenient. 7. Water-soluble fertilizers are generally applied with a sprayer. If applied by watering, fertilizer is easily wasted. Xue Congxian
