Orchid roots are unique: they are adapted to absorb moisture and nutrients from the air and grow in a special substrate instead of conventional soil. Healthy roots are essential for:
Absorption of essential nutrients to promote the growth and development of flower spikes.
Anchor the plant firmly, but continue to provide oxygen to the roots so they can breathe.
How do you use root fertilizer tablets for orchids?
Using this product is simple and easy to integrate into your orchid care routine. Follow these steps:
Choose the right fertilizer tablets: Choose slow-release fertilizer tablets specifically designed for orchids or flowering plants. Choose tablets rich in phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) to promote flowering.
Prepare your orchid for treatment: If your orchid is in a pot, carefully remove the top layer of soil around the roots, being careful not to damage them.
Place a fertilizer tablet under the roots: Place one or two fertilizer tablets near the root zone, preferably in a spot where moisture is retained but not too wet.
Water your orchid normally: After adding the tablets, water the plant regularly so the nutrients can gradually be absorbed into the root zone.
Repeat monthly: To support continuous flowering, feed once a month during the active growing season.
