In the early spring, when the orchid is still blooming, it is generally not necessary to fertilize it.Because fertilization at the flowering stage may cause it to wither ahead of time.But if you forget to fertilize it before it blossoms, so that the plant material for raising it lacks nutrition and can not support its flowers to open normally, then you can give it less phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to provide nutrition for it and help it continue to blossom.
Fertilization officially begins in the spring, around April.At this time, the orchid flowers have withered, new buds have grown out, it is time to need nutrition, at this time fertilization, can provide nutrients for the growth of its new buds, new leaves, to help it grow better.This is because it should be applied with some compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, which is more beneficial to the growth of its leaves.
Some orchid species bloom in the summer and enter the bud stage in late spring.If these varieties are bred, then nitrogen fertilizer should be stopped in late spring and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied to help pregnant buds.If the cultivated variety does not bloom in summer, then do not change the fertilization method in late spring, and continue to apply nitrogen fertilizer as before.
