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)
Clean mixing container
Fresh water (rainwater, RO, or low-mineral tap water)
2. Dilution Basics
Most orchid fertilizers are labeled for heavy-feeding crops, so always start with ½ the recommended label dose unless otherwise noted.
3. Measuring by Type
Liquid Fertilizer: Use ml/cc for precise measurement.
Powder Fertilizer: Weigh in grams for accuracy, or use the spoon measurement provided on the label.
4. Mixing
Dissolve the fertilizer fully before applying to plants.
For foliar feeding, use a fine mist sprayer.
For root feeding, water orchids first, then apply fertilizer solution.
5. Application Frequency
Active Growth: Every 7–10 days
Rest Period: Reduce to once a month or suspend feeding, depending on species
