During the Dendrobium repotting season, can I add base fertilizer when repotting?

1. Repotting season

Dendrobium can be repotted in spring or autumn. Repotting it at this time will have little impact on its normal growth. You cannot change the pot during its bud formation, flowering and fruiting stages, as this will affect its growth and may cause it to miss the flowering period. If the plant is in the acclimatization stage, you cannot change the pot because it may cause further damage to its roots and it will take longer to acclimatize. If the time for repotting is not right, the plant may not be able to return to its normal growth state.

2. Should base fertilizer be added?

When you change the pot, you can add some base fertilizer to the pot. However, its requirements for soil and fertilizer are not high, usually as long as there are no impurities in the soil, it will be fine. Because if there are pathogens in the soil, they will attack the root system of the plant, which is very detrimental to its growth after repotting.

3. Notes

1. Be careful when removing the pot, and try not to damage its roots. When potting, place it in the middle of the pot, and also do not damage the roots and new shoots.

2. Before repotting, you need to prepare a flower pot with a large diameter and air holes in advance. Do not use plastic pots to grow Dendrobium. Before potting, you can also add some drainage materials, such as clean gravel, to the bottom of the pot.
