As we all know, Phalaenopsis is an Internet-famous flower in recent years. The main reason for its popularity is that after the flowers bloom, they are like dancing butterflies, which is very poetic. However, although its flowers are beautiful, it is not an easy thing to maintain it healthily. The most easily overlooked thing is "fertilization". In the following, from the perspective of flower cultivation, we will deeply discuss the time and method of fertilizing Phalaenopsis.
Generally speaking, for a newly bought Phalaenopsis, it should be supplemented with fertilizer once after about ten days of cultivation. In choosing fertilizers, it is recommended that everyone can use potassium dihydrogen phosphate as the main fertilizer. The reason is that potassium dihydrogen phosphate is rich in phosphorus and potassium elements, which play an inseparable role in promoting the growth of Phalaenopsis and the blooming of flowers. Among them, phosphorus element in potassium dihydrogen phosphate is one of the essential elements for plant growth and development, which helps root development and promotes flower bud growth; potassium element can enhance the stress resistance of plants and improve flowering quality.
Then, at this time, some flower friends may ask, why should we supplement fertilizer for it once in less than 10 days after it is just bought? The reason is that during the transportation and adaptation to the new environment of the newly purchased Phalaenopsis, it will consume a relatively large part of nutrients to adapt. Therefore, timely supplementing an appropriate amount of fertilizer is the first step to raising Phalaenopsis well. This is also an important step that many flower friends ignore.
In terms of fertilizing Phalaenopsis, it is recommended that the single application concentration of potassium dihydrogen phosphate should not be excessive. Follow the principle of frequent application of thin fertilizer to avoid damage to the plant. In addition, it should be noted that before fertilizing, make sure the soil is moist. Never fertilize on dry soil, as it is easy to not absorb nutrients. The method of fertilization can be to spread the fertilizer on the soil surface and then gently mix it into the surface soil. Fertilizer can also be diluted into water for irrigation. After fertilization, observe in time whether there is fertilizer residue on the leaves. If it is found, it should be wiped off to avoid leaf burns.
In conclusion, fertilizers are very important for Phalaenopsis at all times. It is recommended that after buying Phalaenopsis home, supplement it with potassium dihydrogen phosphate-based fertilizer once every ten days or so. Doing so can effectively promote and supplement the nutrients needed by Phalaenopsis.
