This is important, as this simple step will go a long way in preventing crown rot from occurring.The higher phosphorus levels will help support your orchid as it gears up for bloom production. It will allow your orchid to produce more plentiful, healthier blooms during the next blooming season.

In addition, make sure you have good air circulation around your orchid at all times. This will help prevent any mold or fungus growth resulting from residual moisture on your orchid leaves. Even a fine misting of the orchid leaves can lead to fungal infections if there isn’t enough airflow around the orchid.

Lightly mist the top and undersides of the orchid leaves and roots with a fine layer of orchid fertilizer mist. Misting the undersides of orchid leaves is key, as the orchid will be able to best absorb fertilizer from here. When misting your orchids with a fertilizer mist spray, do this in the morning, once a week. Applying the fertilizer mist in the morning will give enough time for any excess liquid to dry before nightfall.

While this is perfect for your orchids, it is too diluted for other plants.Further dilute the prepared fertilizer with additional water to create a 25% strength fertilizer. To do this, mix one part of prepared orchid fertilizer with three parts of water.
