Dealing With Orchid Fertilizer Burn

Posted by admin on December 10, 2008

These are the best ways to deal with fertilizer burn on Orchids.

1. Water 3 out of every 4 times with clear water and no fertilizer.
2. If the fertilizer salts are built up quite a bit, repot the Orchid.
3. Be careful in the future not to over fertilize.

To tell if you have fertilizer burn, look for these signs:

1. Burnt tips on Orchid leaves.
2. Old mix that has salts building up on top.
3. Blackening parts of your Orchid.
4. No bloom.
