This article will introduce you to the cultivation methods of purple root orchids in detail, helping you to easily care for them and allowing your orchids to bloom with unique charm.Choosing the Appropriate Growing EnvironmentPurple root orchids prefer a semi-shaded environment. During cultivation, a well-ventilated, moderately lit, and appropriately humid place should be chosen. Avoid placing orchids in direct sunlight to prevent leaf sunburn.Soil Selection and PreparationPurple root orchids have high requirements for soil. A breathable, well-draining acidic soil should be selected. A mixture of materials such as decomposed leaf soil, peat soil, and perlite can be used in a certain proportion. The soil pH value should be between 5.5-6.5.Watering and Fertilizing1. Watering: Purple root orchids do not tolerate waterlogging. Watering should be moderate, generally keeping the soil slightly moist. In the hot summer season, the frequency of watering can be slightly increased; in the cold winter season, the watering frequency should be reduced.2. Fertilizing: During the vigorous growth period of purple root orchids, a compound fertilizer or orchid-specific fertilizer should be applied once a month. Before and after flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied to promote bud development and flowering.Pruning and Pest and Disease Control1. Pruning: During the growth of purple root orchids, it is necessary to prune withered and yellow leaves, as well as sick and weak branches, to maintain plant tidiness and promote ventilation and light.2. Pest and Disease Control: Purple root orchids are prone to pest and disease attacks. It is necessary to observe the plant's growth condition in a timely manner. When pests and diseases are found, measures should be taken promptly. Biopesticides or low-toxicity pesticides can be used for prevention and control.Light and Temperature1. Light: Purple root orchids prefer a semi-shaded environment. In the summer, direct sunlight should be avoided, and in the winter, the duration of sunlight can be appropriately increased.2. Temperature: The suitable growth temperature for purple root orchids is between 15-25 degrees Celsius. The temperature in winter should not be lower than 5 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in summer should not exceed 30 degrees Celsius.Propagation MethodsThe main propagation methods for purple root orchids are division and seeding. Division propagation is suitable for home cultivation, as it is simple to operate and has a high survival rate. Seeding propagation is suitable for professional cultivators, as it has a faster propagation speed but a relatively lower survival rate.During the cultivation process of purple root orchids, mastering the above methods will help improve the success rate of cultivation.
