Orchid flower cultivation method and steps tutorial

Orchid, also known as orchid, is one of the plants unique to China. Now most of the orchids in other countries in the world were introduced from China. It is a beautiful ornamental plant, regarded as the top of all flowers by people, and it symbolizes auspiciousness and is a symbol of positive energy. People usually like to grow it at home, but if you want to grow orchid well, you must have a comprehensive understanding of its cultivation methods, otherwise it will die easily. The following is my detailed introduction to the cultivation methods of orchids. If you like this plant, you can focus on it.

1. Choose the right soil for planting

When growing orchids, you need to choose the right soil. This plant likes fertile soil. It is best to mix black mountain mud, peat soil and garden soil to make a culture soil. Then when growing orchids, you should plant it in the middle of the flowerpot, bury it in the soil after straightening it, compact the soil on the top, and then water it enough. Put it in a cool environment to slow down the seedlings, and it will survive after half a month.

2. Sunlight and water

Sunlight and water are important conditions for growing orchids. It is a light-loving plant, but it is afraid of strong light. It should be placed in an environment with sufficient scattered light, especially after entering summer. If it is placed on a windowsill or balcony, it should be shaded in time. In addition, orchids should be watered moderately. In the peak growth season of spring and summer, it can be watered every 3 to 4 days, but in late autumn and winter, the water supply should be reduced, otherwise it will cause a variety of diseases.

3. Fertilizer

Fertilizer and construction team are also important steps in cultivating orchids. Although this plant likes fertilizer, concentrated fertilizer cannot be applied. Bean cake water and water chestnut sauce residue water should be used as the main fertilizer. It should be used once every 10 to 15 days. Before and after it enters the flowering period, potassium dihydrogen phosphate can also be added. This will make it bloom as soon as possible and prolong the flowering period.

4. Self-cultivation

Many people plant orchids in pots, fertilize and water them on time but never pay attention to pruning them. This is also wrong. During the cultivation process, it is necessary to prune the old and dead leaves in time to promote the growth of new leaves. In addition, after the orchids become diseased, all the infected branches and leaves must be cut off to avoid affecting other healthy leaves.
