Good morning! In the care of orchids, it is essential to always remember that they prefer a lack of water over excess. During the winter season, it is advisable to further limit the amount of water compared to other months. Orchids do not grow in standard flower soil, so it is crucial to provide them with special fertilizers. Additionally, they thrive in bright spaces and benefit from warmth.
🏵️ Orchid Substrate
Ready-made orchid substrate, available in gardening stores, is based on peat, pine bark, and coconut.
🏵️ Watering Orchids
Water orchids only when the substrate is completely dry.
Orchids do not tolerate chlorine or calcium in tap water. Therefore, the water should stand before use.
Rainwater or bottled spring water can be used.
It is best to place orchid roots in a larger container with water and fertilizer for about 15 minutes.
🏵️ Fertilizer for Orchids
Special orchid fertilizers are highly recommended.
Bros offers various products, including fertilizer sticks for the forgetful.
Pay attention to the Orchid Care Lotion - a root moisturizer particularly useful in winter.
The foam fertilizer available in the Bros offer can be applied directly to the pot, eliminating the need for measurement.
As orchids are flowering plants, it is advisable to fertilize with every watering or root soaking. Remember to water orchids only when the substrate is dry.
