Four seasons maintenance methods of ball orchid

Spring care methods for Hoya

In spring, you can place the ball orchid outdoors on a south-facing windowsill or in a bright place to keep the leaves green and shiny, which is conducive to its flowering. Water when the soil is dry and water when it is wet, and be careful to prevent water accumulation in the pot. In addition, young plants can generally be repotted once every spring, and some of the old roots should be cut off when repotting. Young plants should be topped early to promote branching, and supports should be set up in time to allow them to climb and grow upwards.

Summer care methods for Hoya

Ball orchid likes diffuse light and semi-shaded growing environment. In summer, you need to do a good job of shading and move the ball orchid to a cool place to avoid exposure to the sun or direct strong light, otherwise the leaves will easily turn yellow and shrink. At the same time, maintain 2-3 hours of scattered light to provide the ball orchid. In addition, watering is necessary in the summer, and the leaves can be sprayed frequently to maintain a high air humidity to promote better growth of the ball orchid.

Autumn care methods for Hoya

Apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Generally, you can apply some liquid fertilizers with a slightly higher phosphorus content before bud formation and flowering. For example, a 0.1% solution of potassium dihydrogen phosphate can promote the opening of autumn flowers. In addition, ensure that the ball orchid has sufficient light for 3-4 hours a day to promote its flowering. During the flowering period, be sure to keep the soil moist. If the Hoya has already grown buds or is blooming, the flowerpot should not be moved at will, as this will easily cause the buds and flowers to fall off.

Winter care methods for Hoya

Hoya is not cold-resistant, and the suitable temperature for its growth is approximately between 15℃ and 25℃. The room temperature in winter should be kept above 10℃. Once it is below 5℃, the ball orchid will easily suffer from cold damage, and the leaves will fall off. In severe cases, the plant cannot survive.
