By working with a variety of trusted Range Plus Partners, we’re able to offer our customers a wider selection of products. In addition, fertilize less frequently during the fall and winter, when orchid growth slows down. During this time, your orchid can get by with once a month fertilization or less. Some orchid species don’t need to be fertilized at all when growth slows down. Wet orchid leaves plus poor air circulation and/or high humidity will lead to fungal issues in your orchid. Namely, your orchid can develop rot, brown spot, crown rot, and other problems. This can happen even if you don’t mist your orchids, but misting can certainly cause problems to appear much faster.
