Put this kind of lollipop in the orchid pot, and it will sprout quickly and grow strong

Put this kind of "lollipop" in the orchid pot for your orchid, and the orchid will sprout quickly and grow strong.

Caring for orchids is both a joyful and a worrying thing. Why say that? The joy comes from the orchid you have worked so hard to care for being healthy, with lush branches and leaves, blooming every year, truly bringing a full sense of happiness. But there are worries too: when caring for orchids, if any single step is not handled well, it will cause the orchid to stop growing, and in serious cases, it can lead to death.

So growing orchids is not as easy as some friends say, where you just pick any pot, plant it, and water it. In fact, that is not the case. Every step of growing orchids requires mastering the basic care knowledge. Only then can the orchid you grow meet your expectations.

Take fertilizing orchids, for example. It is not an easy task either. Too much fertilizer will cause the orchid to burn at the core, and the orchid leaves will wilt. Too little fertilizer will leave the orchid unable to get enough nutrients, so it grows slowly and may even develop various kinds of problems. In order to effectively promote the healthy growth of orchids, today I will introduce a fertilizer and method that is easy to use, effective, and highly controllable.

So, we choose fertilizer sticks, which we orchid growers affectionately call "lollipops." Because fertilizer sticks have no smell at all and their fertilizer effect lasts a relatively long time. Under normal circumstances, it can last about 50 days. At the same time, fertilizer sticks will reasonably release their fertilizer effect according to the orchid's needs, and can also better ensure that the orchid will not suffer fertilizer damage.

Here, I will focus on how to use fertilizer sticks. That is, for an orchid bonsai with a pot diameter of 15 cm, we usually choose three fertilizer sticks and that is enough. Also, the fertilizer sticks must be fully inserted into the orchid pot, and a reasonable spacing must be adjusted between the fertilizer sticks. Do not put several fertilizer sticks together. That will cause the fertilizer effect to be uneven.

When watering, the fertilizer sticks partially dissolve and provide nutrients to the orchid. This can very well achieve the goal of growing strong orchids.
