These fertilizer baskets will allow you to fill the container with the fertilizer of your choice and then to stick the prong into either the flat surface of the pot or into the sphagnum moss at virtually any angle, especially above the orchid or any other plant.. You can periodically top them up and clean them or change fertilizers depending on seasons and needs of the plant. There are several ways to fertilized orchids or bonsai. Obviously you put a bit of the good stuff in when you first pot or re-pot. Usually from then on you use a liquid for flowering and non-flowering periods for orchids. Also you can scatter a few beads of a granulated fertilizer amongst the leaves but this usually feeds the birds and fertilizes the surrounding area as much as anything. Granular beads tend to roll off bonsai. And of course if you have moved on from cymbidium orchids and now growing cattleyas, dendrobiums, even vandas these are sometimes wired to boards or trees with sphagnum moss being wrapped around their roots. These baskets are ideal for vertical or aerial gardens.The basket itself is like a small egg cup with a snap-lock lid.
