Orchids, as one of China's traditional famous flowers, are loved by flower enthusiasts for their unique floral posture and fragrance. In the cold winter, orchid leaves are prone to curling, which not only affects their appearance but may also endanger the life of the orchids. What should we do if orchid leaves curl in winter? This article will unveil the techniques for winter orchid care, helping your orchids to spend a warm and healthy winter.
Reasons for Winter Orchid Leaf Curling1. Low temperature: With the drop in temperature during winter, orchids have high requirements for temperature. If the temperature is too low, the leaves of the orchids will curl.
2. Poor ventilation: There is a big temperature difference between indoor and outdoor in winter. If the ventilation is poor, the orchid leaves are easily attacked by cold wind, leading to leaf curling.
3. Improper watering: The water requirement of orchids decreases in winter. If the watering is excessive or insufficient, it may lead to leaf curling.
4. Insufficient light: The day is shorter in winter. If there is not enough light, the orchid leaves will curl due to insufficient photosynthesis.
Methods to Solve Winter Orchid Leaf Curling1. Increase temperature: Place the orchids in a warm environment, such as near the heating or air conditioner outlet, but avoid direct contact with heat sources.
2. Strengthen ventilation: Keep the indoor air circulation to prevent the orchid leaves from being attacked by cold wind.
3. Water properly: The water requirement of orchids decreases in winter. You can reduce the watering frequency and keep the soil slightly moist.
4. Increase lighting: Place the orchids in a place with sufficient light, such as a windowsill or balcony, but avoid direct sunlight.
Precautions for Winter Orchid Care1. Choose a suitable orchid variety: In winter, it is suitable to cultivate orchid varieties that are more cold-tolerant, such as black orchids and cold orchids.
2. Pay attention to the watering time: Watering orchids in winter should be done in the early morning or at dusk, avoiding the high-temperature period at noon.
3. Prevent diseases and pests: Orchids are easily invaded by diseases and pests in winter. It is necessary to prevent and control them in time to maintain healthy growth of the orchids.
