How to grow spring orchids in autumn

1. Breeding conditions

1. Soil: It likes loose, breathable and well-watered special loam.

2. Light: It is suitable for growing under scattered light in semi-sun and semi-shade. If the light is too weak, the leaves will be dull, and if the light is too strong, the leaves will be very rough. The suitable temperature for growth is 20℃-30℃, and the temperature difference between day and night cannot exceed 15℃.

3. Watering: It is recommended to water it once every evening or early morning to keep the soil in the pot moist, water it thoroughly once a week to keep it thoroughly moist, and water it once at noon every day.

4. Fertilization: When fertilizing it, be careful not to destroy the acidity of the loam. It is recommended to fertilize on a sunny day. Pay attention to the amount of fertilizer. During the growth period, fertilize the leaves once every half a month, and pour some alum fertilizer water into the loam every week.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Division: Control watering before division. This will make it easier to remove the plant from the pot and soften the roots. When dividing, you can choose a strong mother plant to divide into plants. Do not plant immediately after division. Place them in a shaded place to dry until the roots turn white, then apply wood ash on them and plant them in pots.

2. Sowing: After sterilizing the orchid seeds, plant them in an environment of 20℃-25℃ and keep the humidity at around 70%. They will germinate in about 3 months.

3. Pest and disease prevention

1. If you find black spots on the leaves that spread in irregular shapes, it means that it has spring orchid disease. At this time, you should spray pesticides to treat it in time.

2. If you find black spots on the leaves that spread in a circular shape, it is anthracnose. At this time, you should provide shade, ventilate, and apply fertilizer.
