The cultivation methods and precautions of chive orchid

The plant of chive orchid is very easy to grow. The plant does not have high requirements for the environment and can be grown in ordinary garden soil, but non-compacted, loose, fertile sandy soil is best. Note that the plant is not tolerant to waterlogging.

How to grow chive orchids

1. Lighting

Chive orchid likes light very much. The plant is heat-resistant, cold-resistant and sun-resistant, but it must not be placed in a shaded place for a long time, otherwise it may not bloom or bloom less.

2. Flower Pots

The growth ability of chive orchid is very strong and its root system is very developed, so it cannot be planted in a small pot. Try to plant it in a larger pot, preferably with a diameter of more than 10 cm.

3. Watering

Chive orchid is particularly drought-resistant because its bulbs can store water, but if you want it to bloom as soon as possible, water is also essential. Just water it when the soil is dry or wet.

4. Fertilization

If you want the chive orchid to grow well, you need to use fertilizers mainly composed of nitrogen fertilizers. In addition, high-phosphorus fertilizers and high-potassium fertilizers can also be used appropriately. It is recommended to use Huaduoduo No. 2.

5. Pruning

Chive orchid is relatively resistant to pruning and needs to be pruned frequently after flowering. This can make the plant's shape more beautiful and reduce the consumption of excessive nutrients. Yellow leaves, rotten leaves, and overgrown branches also need to be pruned in time.

Precautions for the maintenance of chive orchids

Chive orchid does not have very high requirements for temperature. Although it has a certain degree of cold resistance, the temperature in the north is too low. If it spends the winter in the north, it is best to control the temperature above 5°C to avoid frostbite and withering of the plant.
