Soil managementPotted yellow crane orchid is suitable for relatively loose, fertile and well-drained soil, preferably fertile soil with a high humus content. You can use some leaf mold, garden soil, pond soil, etc. which contain a lot of nutrients. Make sure to keep the soil moderately moist to facilitate plant growth. Temperature ManagementThe temperature suitable for Yellow Crane Orchid is about 18-25℃. This flower is relatively cold-resistant, but the temperature in winter should be kept above 6℃ as much as possible. Lighting ManagementYellow crane orchid prefers a relatively warm and humid environment, and grows best in a semi-shaded space. Be careful to avoid direct sunlight. When the sun is strong in summer, appropriate shading should be carried out to avoid sunburning the leaves. Generally speaking, blocking about 50% of the light is sufficient. If conditions permit, you can plant the crane orchid directly under the shade of a tree or in a tall flower bush. Moisture ManagementThe crane orchid likes moisture and is not drought-tolerant. It needs more watering during its vigorous growth period, but water accumulation in the pot should be avoided. In summer, it is especially important to maintain the humidity of its growing environment. In addition to maintaining the moisture of the soil, you should also frequently sprinkle water around the flowers to increase the humidity of the surrounding air. After the peak flowering period, the crane orchid will begin to enter a short dormant period. At this time, the root function of the plant declines and the absorption capacity is greatly weakened, so it is necessary to control watering and reduce the amount of water. When the air is dry, spray water on the leaves frequently to keep them moist. Fertilizer managementDuring the growing period of the crane orchid, fertilizer should be mainly decomposed organic fertilizer, and light liquid fertilizer should be applied every two to three weeks. Before the flowering period arrives, fertilizer should be changed to phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer as the main fertilizer. After the flowering period, the remaining flowers should be cut off in time to reduce the loss of nutrients. Stop fertilizing after the temperature drops in autumn and winter. Pest controlCommon diseases and pests of crane orchid include white rot, anthracnose, scale insect pests, etc. These pest and disease problems are particularly likely to occur in the hot and humid environment in summer. Therefore, we must pay attention to prevention during daily maintenance. In addition to regular sterilization and pest control, it is more important to create an excellent environment suitable for plant growth, eliminate the main causes of diseases and pests, and eliminate diseases and pests fundamentally. |
