Organic fertilizers Orchid
Are there advantages to using organic fertilizers orchid? Yes, there are many. Use or not use Organic Fertilizer really depends on how much you're willing to mess with fertilizer.
Organic fertilizers need dropping to release nutrients into the plant orchid, because they are more complex and need this bacterial process before plants can absorb them. Nutrients are released slowly and the fertilizer is slowly absorbed by the orchid. Mineral fertilizers are very soluble and are absorbed almost immediately. Moreover, organic fertilizers also causes embedding medium and decompose faster than mineral fertilizers. This means more potting and greater potential stress to the plant. This is not the case with inorganic fertilizers. However, fertilizer organic products in general a heartier plant that can withstand more stress than orchids fertilized with inorganic fertilizers. Plants that are fertilized with organic fertilizers also seem more resistant to parasites than those fertilized with inorganic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers are more expensive than fertilizers inorganic and wash the coating average faster than inorganic. Some organic fertilizers can accommodate diseases that could affect your orchid.
What are good organic fertilizers? Fish emulsion is probably number one. Then there is bone meal and blood meal, cow and chicken manure, and cottonseed oil. You put some of this organic fertilizer in the water and give him a good handle to produce an emulsion. Then, let stand for a few days. Keep in mind that some things such as manure and fish emulsion can be very stinky. Maybe they are the best used on orchids that are grown outdoors? Or maybe you do not mind the smell?
You can also buy non-urea fertilizers organic low resistance of orchids. It can be given to orchids often without regard to overeating. It comes in a spray bottle. I watched the is made from liquefied worm castings, but not until those same millions of worms were fed a diet all organic themselves. It does not smell. It certainly beats some of the fertilizer above what you really do not know not what the animal or product is produced in the emulsion, manure or flour was fed.
While everything around you is how much want to mess with fertilizer, as I said in the first paragraph. Biological data are somewhat more difficult to obtain or make a mess and causes little more with and repotting. But it's really good for your orchid.
