Water and fertilizer for home-grown orchids

OrchidsBecause they have fleshy roots and their leaves are small in area, they should not be watered too much in daily care. In spring, when new leaves and new roots grow, the growing medium should be kept moist. After summer arrives, the temperature gradually rises, water evaporates faster, and watering must be gradually increased, but waterlogging must be avoided. When givingorchidsliquid fertilizer, it must be fully fermented and decomposed, and it is better to keep it dilute rather than concentrated. From late May to mid-July and during September, a thin cake fertilizer solution can be applied once every 10-15 days, and before flowering, a compound fertilizer may be applied as appropriate or a foliar spray may be used.
