Growing orchids in autumn: use this "method" for buds to "vigorously" sprout and bloom, spending less money!

There are quite a few flower lovers who like orchids, but not many people can grow orchids well. Growing orchids requires accumulating years of experience to do well. The problems found during care in previous years - summarized - made growing orchids in later years become familiar and easy, and orchids became easier to grow well. Below, let's take a look at the "valuable experience" shared with us by one orchid owner!

Autumn has arrived, so it is time to fertilize well to promote flowering. The experience this owner shared with us is about fertilizing techniques. When growing orchids himself, he gradually figured out a fertilizing pattern. This experience is of great reference value for novice orchid growers. The picture above shows the orchid seedlings he grew himself, which are very sturdy. Let's learn together!

Growing orchids in sphagnum moss: how to fertilize?

Fertilizing experience 1: When growing orchids in sphagnum moss, use water twice and fertilizer once, because sphagnum moss is not bad at retaining water and fertilizer. Basically, it only needs watering once every 2-5 days. As for the fertilizing cycle, after watering twice, the next time add a few drops of orchid-specific organic nutrient solution to the water to supplement fertilizer, strengthen roots, and prevent yellow leaves. This fertilizing cycle is just right.

Growing orchids in bark: how to fertilize?

Fertilizing experience 2: When growing orchids in bark, use water once and fertilizer once. Compared with sphagnum moss, bark, as a coarse growing medium, is relatively a bit worse at retaining water and fertilizer, so the fertilizing frequency should be increased accordingly: water once and fertilizer once is enough.

Homemade flower fertilizer: how to fertilize?

Actually, homemade flower fertilizer is already very common. Most flower lovers mainly use soybean fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer, while homemade flower fertilizer with relatively good fertilizer efficiency generally requires using a high-phosphorus fertilizer once every 1-2 months. Only then can orchid flowering be guaranteed, and the flowers will be more vivid!

For beginners growing orchids, you might as well try the "alternating rhythm" of watering and fertilizing, and then make appropriate changes according to the environment in which your orchids grow. As long as we manage water and fertilizer well, it will be hard for orchids not to grow well!
