Detailed Guide to Fertilizing Methods and Techniques for Phalaenopsis

Because Phalaenopsis grows quickly and has a long growth period, it should be fertilized with dilute fertilizer applied frequently. In May, the orchid plants have just been repotted and are in a recovery period, so no fertilizer should be applied. From June to September, during the plants' growth period, fertilizer should be applied once a week, alternating between foliar fertilizer and monopotassium phosphate, or farmyard manure can be fermented with water and used as liquid fertilizer for watering. If conditions permit, you can buyorchidspecial fertilizer and "Huabao" liquid fertilizer, dilute 2000 times, and spray on the leaf surfaces andcultivationsubstrate. Stop fertilizing during high summer temperatures. In late autumn, the growth of the orchid plants gradually slows, so fertilization should be reduced. Excessive fertilization often causes the orchid plants to grow too vigorously, affecting flower bud formation and resulting in failure to bloom. Excerpted from "OrchidEncyclopedia"
