In the fall, as the orchid is preparing for the next blooming season, use an orchid fertilizer that is higher in phosphorus. Houseplants, for example, need less phosphorus than orchids, since many houseplants do not produce flowers. Other plants may need more nitrogen than what is available in orchid fertilizers. Calcium and magnesium are not typically found in orchid fertilizers, yet many vegetable plants require these to grow and fend off disease. When you mist your orchid, whether with plain water or with a diluted fertilizer, you are coating your orchid’s leaves and roots with a fine layer of moisture. If you don’t have adequate air circulation around your orchid, this can create an environment perfect for fungal and bacterial growth.

The orchid food is typically misted onto the underside of orchid leaves for best results. The orchid leaves will then absorb the fertilizer. Oftentimes, fertilizer burns on the leaves are a result of over-fertilization. To prevent this from happening, make sure you use a weak orchid fertilizer, meaning dilute your orchid fertilizer down to 25% strength before using it. I went over how to do this above, in the section “how to apply orchid fertilizer as a mist spray.”
