For many flower enthusiasts, planting network orchids is a challenge.

Choose a suitable planting environment

Network orchids prefer a semi-shaded environment, so it is crucial to choose a well-ventilated and adequately lit area for planting, avoiding direct sunlight and overly dark environments that may affect their growth.

Soil selection and preparation

Network orchids grow best in loose, breathable, and well-drained soil. You can choose a cultivation soil made of a mixture of decayed leaf soil, peat soil, and perlite. Before planting, disinfect the soil to ensure there are no pests and diseases.

Planting time

The general planting time for network orchids is in spring or autumn when the climate is suitable for their growth. Avoid planting in the high temperatures of summer or the cold of winter.

Planting steps

1. Remove the orchid seedlings from the pot and gently shake off the soil around the roots.

2. Place an appropriate amount of base fertilizer at the bottom of the planting pot, such as decomposed chicken manure or bone meal.

3. Place the orchid seedlings in the pot, spread out the roots, fill in the mixed soil, and gently compact it.

4. Water thoroughly to moisten the soil.

Daily maintenance

1. Watering: Network orchids do not tolerate waterlogging, so keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. In the high summer temperatures, you can increase the watering frequency; in the low winter temperatures, reduce the number of waterings.

2. Fertilization: During the vigorous growth period, apply a compound fertilizer or special orchid fertilizer once a month to promote growth.

3. Light: Maintain sufficient diffused light and avoid direct sunlight.

4. Air circulation: Maintain a good ventilation environment to prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests.

Pest and disease control

Common diseases and pests of network orchids include leaf spot and stem rot. When diseases and pests are found, take measures in a timely manner, such as cutting off diseased leaves and spraying pesticides.

The planting of network orchids is not complicated. As long as you master the above methods, even beginners can easily care for them. I hope this article can provide you with useful references, and I wish your network orchids to grow strong and bloom beautiful flowers.
