Cultivation methods and precautions of perfume Oncidium

The fragrant Oncidium is particularly easy to grow. If well cared for, its petals will emit a faint perfume scent, which is very pleasant and smells very comfortable. In addition, when it blooms, the number of petals can reach hundreds, and it has a very high ornamental value.

How to cultivate perfume Oncidium

1. Temperature

When cultivating Oncidium, it should be placed in a warm, cool and humid environment. The suitable growth temperature for it is 18-25 degrees. It has poor cold resistance. As long as the temperature is lower than 10-12 degrees for a long time, frost damage may occur. In severe cases, it may cause the death of the entire plant.

2. Lighting

When cultivating Oncidium, it does not have strict requirements for light, but if it is cultivated in a dark place, it will affect the photosynthesis of the plant, resulting in phenomena such as elongated and drooping leaves, few flowers, and poor growth.

3. Watering

Oncidium prefers to grow in an environment with higher humidity, but is also afraid of waterlogging, especially in the low temperature environment of early spring. If it is watered too frequently during cultivation, water accumulation and root rot will easily occur.

Precautions for the maintenance of perfume Oncidium

When caring for Oncidium, it is best not to expose it to direct sunlight. Oncidium cannot withstand exposure to strong light. At the very least, the plant will appear grayish white and may even be infected with anthracnose.

In addition, when it is flowering, place it in an environment of about 25 degrees and water it appropriately, which can prolong its flowering time.
