The most practical fertilizer for orchids

1. What fertilizers can be used

There are many fertilizers available for orchids, and some are specifically designed for orchids and are more effective. However, there are some substances that are inconspicuous, don’t cost too much, and can produce good results.

2. What are the practical fertilizers?

1. Mushroom soil: It is acidic in nature, which is suitable for orchids. The nutrients it contains are relatively moderate, and the fertilizer effect lasts long. Moreover, it can be used as a fertilizer as well as a substrate. Compared with other substrates, its texture is looser, and its drainage and air permeability are better. It can be mixed with other substrates as culture soil, and its volume can account for 20 to 30 percent.

2. Rice husk charcoal: This substance contains a lot of potassium, and after application, it can make the soil looser and can also appropriately increase the temperature of the soil. However, it is originally alkaline. However, it can become neutral after a month or two of sun exposure. It can be reused after being processed.

3. Bone char: It is mainly used as a phosphate fertilizer because it is particularly rich in phosphorus. And, as a fertilizer, it works quickly and lasts for a long time.
