Of course, the water cultured one leaf orchid should be fertilized. As we all know, the medium of hydroponics is water, which contains all kinds of minerals (the water in nature and the water at home are all soft water after micro treatment, with relatively few minerals). However, the nutrient nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium needed by the orchid are basically blank in the water. Compared with the soil, it is far from enough to meet its growth requirements, and one-time hydroponic one leaf orchid should also be fertilized in time.
One leaf orchid needs fertilization, but also has a limit. In terms of the quantity and time of fertilizer application, the principle of frequent application of thin fertilizer is mainly followed. According to the times of water change, generally, nutrient fertilizer can be added once for each water change to supplement the loss of fertilizer caused by water change.
In hydroponic culture, most of the leafy orchids use bottomless pots, bottles, VATS and other instruments. When the fertilizer is mixed into the water, it will soon contact with the roots. This is different from the fertilization method of soil culture. The particles in the soil will absorb part of the fertility and play a buffer role in the concentration of fertilization. However, as long as the fertilization concentration is higher than the tolerance of monocotyledon, it will cause harm soon. Therefore, it is very important to strictly control the amount of fertilizer and the types of fertilizer. Pay more attention when choosing fertilizer.
It is suggested that the family self-made fertilizer in the early rumors should not be used again. Try to choose the special fertilizer (nutrient solution) for hydroponics plants, and use it according to the instructions instead of excessive.
One leaf orchid is a foliage flower. Its fertilizer should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, so as to ensure that the leaves are thick, smooth and pure. But it is necessary to apply less nitrogen fertilizer to varieties with colorful leaf patterns. Because too much nitrogen fertilizer will cause the color of the leaves to fade, or even disappear, it should be appropriate to increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.
