It is important to always use special orchid fertilizers at the beginning, as they are suited for the nutrient needs of orchids. You can chose powder, or liquid orchid fertilizers.

If you want to be extra safe, you can always use half the amount recommended and see how your orchid reacts. If everything goes well, you can start dosing the recommended amount.

Always flush the pot and medium thoroughly with plain water. This will remove possible salt build ups and keep your orchid’s roots healthier!

Always fertilizer when you water orchids, following the tutorial above. Never add the fertilizer undiluted, it will damage the roots!

I use the MSU fertilizer for the past 3 years and I really like it! It has a complete menu of nutrients and suits my watering possibilities. You can find it for sale at rePotme here https://go.missorchidgirl.com/XQ8yO6
