Fertilization method of nail orchid

Fertilizer

Farmyard manure

Human feces, animal feces, but it is best to pile them up for more than one year before application. When applying, do not water directly, dilute with 10 to 20 times the amount of water before applying. Try to water the edge of the pot without touching the roots or orchid leaves.

Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers

When applying fertilizer, pay attention to the balance of various elements, that is, the balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and strictly control the concentration. If you want to grow large flowers, you need to apply more nitrogen fertilizer. If you want to enjoy the leaves, you need to apply less nitrogen fertilizer and increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizer appropriately. Calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer should also be applied appropriately.

Fertilization method

Foliar Fertilizer

Foliar fertilizer is mainly applied by spraying. Spraying fertilizer on the leaves allows the orchid leaves to absorb nutrients while the roots will not come into contact with the fertilizer and cause fertilizer damage. This is the best way to fertilize. During the growing season, spray fertilizer on the leaves once every 10 days, and be careful not to apply fertilizer in the pot. Aloe vera liquid can be used as fertilizer.

Fertilization principles

Fertilize frequently

The nail orchid does not require much fertilizer during its growth period, and a thin liquid fertilizer should be applied once every 10-15 days. In fact, growing flowers is like caring for people. You need to care for them regularly, and frequent fertilization will help the growth of the plants.

Eat small, frequent meals

No one can eat a fat man in one bite, and you shouldn't expect your nails to be full after just one meal. When applying fertilizer, be sure to use less fertilizer and increase the amount of fertilizer by increasing the number of fertilizations according to the growth conditions of the plants. Do not suddenly increase the amount of fertilizer to the soil.
