Fertilizing
Anthuriums
Use a balanced fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season.
Dilute the fertilizer to half or quarter strength according to the manufacturer's instructions to avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to salt buildup and damage the roots.
Apply the fertilizer to moist soil, and avoid getting it on the foliage or flowers, as it may cause burning.
Reduce or stop fertilizing during the plant’s dormant period in fall and winter.
Orchids
Choose a specialized orchid fertilizer that is high in nitrogen during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote foliage growth.
Switch to a balanced or bloom-formulated fertilizer high in phosphorus when the orchid is producing flower spikes to encourage blooming.
Use a balanced orchid fertilizer at quarter strength every 2 weeks during growing season.
Avoid fertilizing orchids during the dormant period in fall and winter when growth slows down.
Flush the orchid's potting medium with plain water periodically to prevent salt buildup from fertilizers.
Succulents
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer specifically formulated for succulents or cacti.
Use the fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season.
Fertilize succulents sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer), about once every 4-6 weeks.
Apply the fertilizer to damp soil to prevent root burn, and avoid getting it on the foliage.
Reduce or stop fertilizing during the dormant period in fall and winter when succulents require less nutrients.
