How to grow orchids

1. Breeding environment

(1) Fertilization: Generally, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied every half a month from May to the beginning of autumn. Fertilization is needed once on the twentieth day after the flowers wither. The best time is in the evening. You can water once in the morning of the next day after fertilizing.

(2) Watering: The plant does not require a lot of water, but it cannot be without it. Generally speaking it is best to wait until the soil is dry before watering. But the amount should not be too much, and the soil should always be kept slightly dry. Don't water at noon. Do not use well water.

(3) Light: Prefers partial shade. However, in winter, an environment with sufficient light is suitable. In addition, in order to ensure uniform light distribution, don't forget to rotate the pot.

(4) Soil: loose and fertile. Generally, orchid mud is used, and some bark, coconut shells, etc. can be added.

2. Change pots regularly

The nutrients in the soil are limited, and if the pot is not changed for a long time, the soil will easily become clumping and the air permeability will deteriorate. Generally it is replaced every one or two years. First of all, the soil. In addition to the new orchid mud, you can also add some fermented bark, coconut shells, pebbles and other things to increase air permeability. The basin can be replaced or not, depending on the specific situation. Before changing the soil, you need to trim the roots and cut off rotten and diseased roots.

3. Prevent diseases and pests

It is better to prevent it than to wait until it happens. If something unfortunate happens, timely measures should be taken. Spray the pesticide and treat the infected part.
