Orchid care precautions

Breeding sites

When growing orchids, you need to pay attention to the location where they are placed. Generally, in spring, summer and autumn, because the light is better, orchids are usually grown outdoors and placed in a slightly hidden place. They can be moved indoors in winter.

Please note that when growing orchids outdoors, they should generally be kept in an open space. Indoors, they should generally face south and be placed on a shelf or table, not on the ground.

Pay attention to concealment

Orchids are semi-shade plants and are afraid of strong light, so they must be kept in a hidden place when they are cultivated. Generally, the light is more suitable in other seasons and they can be exposed to more sunlight, but in summer, they must be immersed in the shade. Especially around noon.

Be careful of rain

Many plants actually don’t like rain, and orchids are no exception. When growing orchids, although a little rain can be tolerated, you must be careful to prevent them from getting wet during moldy or prolonged rainfall.

When it rains a lot, make sure there is no water accumulation. When it rains a lot, it is usually necessary to water the plants in the evening after the rain to expel the heat from the pots. If the sun shines brightly after the rain, provide shade in time.

Keep warm

Generally, spring orchids and summer orchids are more cold-resistant, but they need to be placed indoors in time when the temperature drops to freezing. Autumn orchids generally need to be prepared for the cold in advance, and this is even more true for winter orchids.

Generally, place it indoors and heat it when the temperature is too low.

Pick flowers in time

Picking orchid flowers actually means picking off the flowers that grow poorly. Generally, 1-2 buds are kept and the rest are picked off so that the orchids can bloom better.

When orchids bloom, they usually need to be pruned after a few days so that the branches and leaves can grow better.
