How to manage orchid buds and how to thin them out

1. Stay warm

When the orchid is in the budding stage, it must be provided with a relatively warm environment. Because whether the temperature is suitable can directly determine whether it can germinate successfully. Specifically, it is recommended to control the temperature at 18-25℃. The temperature at night should not be lower than 8℃, otherwise its flower buds will not grow smoothly. In addition, do not let the temperature exceed 30℃, otherwise it will be very detrimental to the growth of flower buds.

2. Appropriate exposure to light

Orchids are different from most light-loving flowers and prefer a semi-shady environment with scattered light. It is afraid of strong light. If the light in the maintenance environment is too strong, it will also affect the growth of its flower buds. Therefore, when it is in the budding stage, it is recommended to place it in a place with soft light. This can not only prevent it from being burned by strong light, but also allow it to absorb sunlight to synthesize nutrients and grow smoothly.

3. Water and fertilizer supplement

If you want it to sprout smoothly, you must provide it with certain water and nutrient support. So at this time, it is necessary to water appropriately and apply some fertilizer in moderation. Water it every 5-7 days, and then water it again when the planting material becomes dry. This allows it to absorb enough water without having to worry about excessive water damaging its roots. Fertilizer can be applied every 15-20 days. This will ensure its nutrient needs.
