Orchids are common in the mountains and valleys. This kind of place not only needs fresh air and soil, but also sufficient water. This is the most basic growth habit of Cypripedium. There is also about fertilization, Cypripedium is more like thin fertilizer, high concentration of fertilizer is difficult to absorb and digest, but will affect health.
Cypripedium fertilization is generally more in the growth period, about once a month, and Cypripedium has certain requirements for fertilizer concentration, it must be diluted to at least 1000 times before application, otherwise Cypripedium plants and roots will be burned, serious situation will lead to death.
Chemical fertilizer is not a particularly suitable fertilizer for Cypripedium. If you can get it through contact, it's better to be farmyard fertilizer, and it's still rotted for at least one year or more. Even so, it can be applied to the potted Cypripedium plants only after it's mixed with 10 to 20 times of water.
In addition to farmyard manure, if some chemical fertilizers are to be added, the balanced proportion of some nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements is generally selected, and the most important thing is to control the concentration not to exceed the standard. Another is to apply fertilizer. One is liquid fertilizer. The other is to spray it on the leaves.
The above is about Cypripedium fertilization some personal experience, have you learned it?
