How to grow foxtail orchid and what to plant it with

1. Planting method

1. Seeds: Sowing can be chosen in spring and autumn because the climate is suitable. You only need to select suitable seeds and then sow them in loam. The substrate can be a mixture of charcoal soil and garden soil to ensure good nutrition and water permeability. Then spray water around to ensure moisture and maintain a semi-shaded growing environment.

2. Division: Seeds are less likely to germinate under natural conditions, so division can be used. The most suitable time is May to August. Take out the plants, comb the roots, cut them with a knife, and plant them in pots respectively. Ensure the temperature condition is good. If the temperature is too low, the growth will be harmed. The minimum temperature should be kept above 15℃.

2. How to raise

1. Light: Light is indispensable for growth. Sunlight promotes the growth of plants, but they cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. Newly planted seedlings should be placed in a shaded place, and then a diffuse light environment will be sufficient. Appropriate sunlight can promote the blooming of flowers.

2. Water: During a period of rapid growth, you can water it more often, once every 3-6 days. You should control watering from the beginning of flower bud differentiation, and be careful not to water the flowers. In addition, the humidity must be maintained at about 50-80%.

3. Fertilizer: No watering is required in the initial stage of seedlings. Apply appropriate fertilizer after growth to ensure a balanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements.
