Follow these steps to measure and mix fertilizers correctly for healthy orchids. Always use clean tools and fresh water.
1. Gather Your Tools
Measuring spoon or syringe (ml/cc)

For foliar feeding, use a fine mist sprayer.
For root feeding, water orchids first, then apply fertilizer solution.
5. Application Frequency
