During this time the substrate (bark), which is the orchid planted absorb water, and any excess which is subsequently drained, should be removed from the sheet or decorative container in which the stick. If you can, watering is best to use rainwater and water from the municipal water supply should leave some time to rest since chlorine and too much calcium do not correspond to orchids. During flowering sure to be saved with specialized fertilizer for orchids. We recommend Valentin liquid fertilizer for orchids because it contains all the macro and trace elements necessary for plant growth, and it is easily dosed. Without enough food, the flowers are smaller, and the buds of yellow and fall off. Once a month pour orchids only plain water with no added fertilizer to wash away residual mineral deposits from the roots.
