Orchids like shade, warmth, and moisture, but are afraid of sunlight, heat, and dry climates. Grows well in well-drained, acidic soil rich in humus. Watering should not be too frequent or too wet. It is better to fertilize orchids with soybean cake fertilizer, and acidic fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate and potassium dihydrogen phosphate are also suitable. It can be applied once every half month to twenty days during the peak growing season. It is better to use diluted liquid fertilizer. It should be applied sparingly during normal times and not applied during the dormant period.

Place it indoors in a well-ventilated place that does not receive sunlight but good visible light

Put it in a flower pot with broken tiles as the bottom, and then use it The ceramic bottom is paved to maintain good breathability. Dry moss, lichen, etc. can be used as the upper layer to lock in water, moisturize and retain heat.

While ensuring regular watering, if the ceramsite feels dry to the touch, you can pour water on the tray to avoid moisture return. Water evaporates to keep the roots moist. The indoor air must maintain a certain humidity. You can use a watering can to regularly spray the flowerpot and around the flower.

Give There are three ways to provide water to the roots of orchid plants: irrigation, sprinkling (drench), and soaking. "Irrigation" means pouring water along the edge of the pot with a kettle. The advantage of this method is that the water will not reach the center of the leaves. The disadvantage is that the watering speed is slow and difficult to water thoroughly. It requires repeated irrigation many times to achieve the effect of watering thoroughly. "Sprinkling" means using a watering can or shower head to sprinkle water to wet the entire orchid-growing environment, allowing the water to seep from the soil surface to the orchid roots and moisten the orchid pot. The advantage of this method is that the water can irrigate the entire orchid pot, but the disadvantage is that the water can easily penetrate the orchid pot. If it splashes into the heart of the leaf, be careful when using it, otherwise it will rot the heart. "Soaking" means immersing three-quarters of the orchid pot together with the plant material in water. The advantage is that the water can be soaked, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to spread bacteria and is labor-consuming and time-consuming. Masters of orchid cultivation often use a mixture of these three methods, and the results are very ideal.

There are two ways to provide water to orchid leaves: spraying and humidifying. "Spray" means to spray a fine mist from a sprayer and scatter it directly on the orchid leaves, allowing the orchid leaves to absorb it into the body through the pores. "Humidification" means increasing the humidity of the air so that the orchid leaves can absorb it. There are several methods of humidification: one is to use a humidifier to mist and increase the space humidity; the other is to increase the water surface and set up more water basins under the orchid frame to increase the space humidity by evaporating water; the third is to artificially simulate rainfall. Splashing water mist increases air humidity; in addition, an oxygen pump is also used to put water in the basin to help evaporate water vapor, etc.

Notes

1. Orchids are mainly distributed in the southeast and southwest regions. It grows wild under sparse forests in humid valleys and in the shade of rocks. Therefore, it likes a warm and humid climate, and likes shade and humidity. It requires a shade of 70% to 90% and avoids high temperatures, dryness and strong light. 2. During orchid cultivation, old, yellow and diseased leaves should be constantly cut off to facilitate ventilation. After the flower buds are unearthed, one strong flower bud should be left on each plant and the rest should be cut off to avoid consuming too much nutrients and affecting the next year's flowering. After the flowers fade, the flower sprouts should be cut off.
