Dancing orchid is an elegant and beautiful orchid variety that is favored by many people. However, unlike other common orchid varieties, dancing orchids require special water conservation management skills. This article will introduce the skills of how to correctly cultivate dancing orchids with water, hoping to help people who love dancing orchids.
Timing of watering Danci likes a humid environment, but excessive watering can cause its roots to get sick. Be sure to pay attention to the timing when watering, usually in the morning or evening. In the hot season, pay special attention. It is best to water it two to three times a week to keep it moderately moist.
Watering method In order to prevent water from penetrating into the bottom of the flower pot, it is best to water it by pouring. When pouring, you can place the flower pot on a plate with a gap at the bottom of the pot and use a spray can to pour water into the flower pot. It should be noted that the drainage hole at the bottom of the flowerpot must be smooth to avoid water accumulation at the roots.
Water quality Dancing orchids have high requirements on water quality, and it is best to use filtered tap water or rainwater for watering. If tap water is used, it should be filtered and left for a period of time to remove chlorine and other harmful substances.
Light management Dancing orchids like a well-lit environment, but they cannot be directly exposed to the sun. It is best to place it next to windows facing south or southwest to maintain moderate light. During hot summer periods, you need to avoid direct sunlight.
Temperature management Dancing orchid is a plant that adapts to a tropical climate, and its suitable growth temperature is 20-30℃. During the high temperature period in summer, attention should be paid to ventilation and cooling to avoid overheating causing damage to plants.
Humidity management Dancing orchids like a humid environment, and it is best to keep the indoor humidity above 60%. Air humidity can be increased by placing a humidifier or spreading moist vermiculite, moss and other substances around flower pots.
Fertilization management of dancing orchids does not require too much fertilizer. Generally, liquid fertilizer can be applied every two weeks to a month. During the maintenance period, organic fertilizers such as decomposed chicken manure can be used for topdressing.
Pruning management After the stem of dancing orchid grows, if the growth direction is not correct, pruning can be carried out appropriately. Cutting off flower stems that grow in the wrong direction can ensure the uniform opening of flowers and the neat and beautiful plants.
Pest and insect pest control dancing orchids are vulnerable to pests such as aphids and whiteflies. When pests are found, agricultural oil or soapy water can be used to spray the plants to kill the insects. At the same time, attention should be paid to preventing root diseases caused by excessive watering.
Changing pots to manage dancing orchids requires regular replacement of flower pots to ensure the growth and health of the plants. It is best to change pots in spring and autumn, using soil with good air permeability and larger flowerpots.
Transplanting management Dance orchids grow slowly, so you must be very careful when transplanting and try not to damage the root system of the plant. During the transplanting process, the root system of the plant can be appropriately trimmed to promote plant metabolism and growth.
Control the height of the plant. The flower stems of dancing orchids are very long. If they grow too high, they will affect the opening of flowers. After the flower stem grows to a certain height, part of the flower stem can be cut off appropriately to control the height of the plant.
Flower management Dancing orchid is a beautiful flower plant with a long flowering period and can last for about a month. When appreciating flowers, pay attention to preventing excessive touching and pulling of flowers to avoid affecting the opening and life of flowers.
Responding to weather changes, dancing orchids are sensitive to environmental changes, especially changes in temperature and humidity. Water conservation management strategies should be adjusted in time when the weather changes to maintain the health and beauty of plants.
Water-growing dancing orchids requires attention to many aspects of details, including watering timing, methods and water quality, management of light, temperature, humidity, etc., as well as fertilization, pruning, pest control, pot change, transplanting, height control, flower appreciation and responding to weather changes. Only by careful care can the dancing orchid become a beautiful scenery in your home.
