When is the best time to plant orchids? Which month is better for transplanting?

You can choose clay pots or tile pots for planting orchids. The clay pots have holes at the bottom, which helps increase its air permeability. Excessive watering can also prevent water accumulation. The soil for planting orchids should be loose and fertile, with good air permeability and drainage, such as sandy soil, garden soil and humus soil.

Orchid planting time

Orchids are planted in spring or autumn, specifically from March to early April in spring and from September to mid-October in autumn . During these two periods, the climate is warm and the temperature difference is relatively small, which is conducive to the survival of orchids and the growth of new roots.

Generally, it is not suitable to plant orchids in summer and winter. The temperature in summer is too high, which is not only not conducive to the recovery of orchid growth, but also easy to breed bacteria. The temperature in winter is too low, and orchids have poor cold resistance, which is not conducive to survival.

How to grow orchids

First, spread the orchid seeds evenly in the potting soil, cover them with a thin layer of soil, then press the soil with your hands to fix it, and then pour an appropriate amount of water. After waiting for 20-30 days, the orchid seeds will take root and sprout.

Points to note when planting orchids

Orchids have certain water requirements. In spring and autumn, they are in the growth period, so they should be watered every 2-3 days. In summer, the temperature is high and the water evaporates too quickly, so they should be watered every 1-2 days. In winter, the temperature is low and the water requirement is small, so they can be watered every 3-5 days. Orchids need 8 hours of light every day, so they should be kept away from strong direct sunlight in summer.
