When to move orchids indoors

1. Time of entry

Orchids are very afraid of cold, so they need to be moved indoors during the winter. Usually, they can be moved indoors when the outdoor temperature is below 10℃, and they must be brought indoors before frost. But don't move it indoors too early. It's best to change the time of moving it indoors according to the local climate and conditions. For example, it can be a little later in the south and as early as possible in the north, otherwise the plants will be frozen.

In addition, the time to bring orchids indoors varies for different varieties. Chinese orchids can be brought indoors when the temperature is below 5℃. However, Cymbidium and Spring Orchid have a certain degree of cold resistance and can be brought indoors when the temperature is below 2℃.

2. Winter maintenance

1. Temperature: Although you need to move indoors in winter, you still need to pay attention to controlling the temperature, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 5℃. The room temperature should not be too high, so as not to affect the growth of the plants.

2. Ventilation: Pay attention to ventilation when spending the winter indoors. When the weather is good, open the windows more often to allow air to circulate better.

3. Water control: During the winter, you must strictly control the amount of watering to avoid the soil being too wet. And the watering time should be close to the room temperature, do not use too cold water.
