What is the sowing time for orchids, how to sow and maintain them?

1. Sowing time

1. The time to plant orchids can be chosen from March to April every year. Spring is a good time for sowing. The temperature, humidity and transpiration at this time are the most suitable for plant growth throughout the year, and the temperature during the growth period after the germination period is also very suitable. Orchids like warmth very much and are slightly shade-tolerant. If the temperature is lower than -4°C, it will directly affect the growth rate of the plant.

2. Sowing and maintenance

1. Seed selection: We can buy suitable seeds online or in local stores.

2. Soil: You can collect some rotten leaves or surface soil from the surrounding mountains, take them home and mix them with a little perlite to make fluffy, breathable and highly permeable soil.

3. Flower pot: Choose a medium-sized pot for growing it. If the pot is too large, the planting material will easily become too dry and the roots will rot.

4. Light: You can place it on a south-facing balcony or in the yard, allowing it to receive full sunlight in spring and winter. In summer and autumn, when the sunlight makes people feel uncomfortable, you need to shade the orchid.

5. Watering: It has very high requirements for water quality. It cannot be too dry or too waterlogged. If you are not sure about the degree of watering, you can peel off the soil 2-3 meters deep in the pot and try it. If it is dry, you can water it. If it is not dry, you can water it after a day or two.
