water—not about pouring a concentrated teaspoon directly into the pot.
The American Orchid Society recommends weak and regular fertilization in many contexts. For a mixed orchid collection, approximately ¼–½ teaspoon of suitable fertilizer is often used per gallon of water, or approximately 3.8 liters, depending on the product’s concentration and season.
Always follow the dosage of your particular product. Different fertilizers have different concentrations, so a general “one teaspoon” recommendation can otherwise be far too strong.
