The orchid family includes over 20,000 diverse plants, enchanting with intricate flowers in almost all colors of the rainbow.Orchids have a reputation for being difficult to grow, but if we try to create conditions similar to those in nature, they will also look amazing at home.
When we become the owners of these elegant plants, remember a few rules for their care.One of them is fertilization, which guarantees long and abundant flowering.We start feeding after the orchids have faded, because that's when they start to grow and need supplementation with a preparation with a high nitrogen content.
It is best to use nutrients intended only for these plants, because they have a properly selected composition and do not contain calcium, which alkalizes the substrate, which prevents orchids from absorbing nutrients.
There are two methods of fertilizing orchids in practice.The first one is to add fertilizer at each watering - then 1/3 or 1/4 of the basic dose is diluted in water, the second one is to use fertilizer (in a basic or slightly smaller dose) alternately with watering with clean water.
For the always busy and busy, who do not have time to care for their beloved flowers, the fertilizer in the form of sticks comes to the rescue, releasing valuable ingredients for up to eight weeks.
