Butterfly orchid cultivation methods and precautionsToday's lifestyle tip brings you the related content about the cultivation methods and precautions of butterfly orchids in the green plant aspect. Let's learn about it together below.Among the many New Year flowers, butterfly orchids are said to be one of the most popular. Butterfly orchids are named for their numerous flowers that resemble butterflies. The flowers of butterfly orchids are bright, have a long blooming period, and a large number of flowers, making them a rather high-end potted plant. However, many orchid enthusiasts have found that newly purchased butterfly orchids tend to wither and drop flowers easily. So, how should we care for newly purchased butterfly orchids?Cultivation methods for newly purchased butterfly orchidsButterfly orchids as New Year flowers (C-S) are sold with flowers and buds, but butterfly orchids themselves prefer a warm and humid environment, with an optimal growth temperature of 15-20 degrees Celsius. Growth will stop below 10 degrees Celsius, and temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius can easily cause frostbite.It is evident that the butterfly orchids we purchase are greenhouse-grown. After bringing them home, due to the huge environmental differences, butterfly orchids often show signs of flower drop and withering. We can start with the following points to help butterfly orchids adapt to the new environment as soon as possible.1. Original pot careMost New Year butterfly orchids are cultivated with sphagnum moss. As they are in bloom, do not rush to repot them after purchasing. You can start with potting them in a larger pot with sphagnum moss filling the gaps for fixation if you have bought several.Butterfly orchids in bloom and bud stage should not be repotted easily, as it can cause flower drop due to root damage. Repotting can be done after the flowers have faded.2. Maintain room temperature not lower than 10 degreesButterfly orchids will stop growing when the temperature is below 10 degrees, so it is necessary to maintain an appropriate room temperature, at least ensuring it does not drop below 10 degrees. If the temperature is too low, the orchid buds will no longer grow and may eventually fall off, and if the temperature is too low, frost damage may occur.3. Pay attention to increasing air humidityThe temperature and environmental air humidity are relatively high, so it is also necessary to pay attention to the humidity in your room, maintaining it not lower than 60%. If the air humidity is too low, it can cause the orchid petals and buds to dry out and wither.You can frequently use a spray bottle to spray the environment around the butterfly orchids and also the leaves, but be careful not to spray the flowers, as this can easily cause flower rot or spots.4. Maintain air circulationAir circulation is also very important for butterfly orchids. As an epiphytic plant, butterfly orchids can absorb moisture from the air not only through their roots but also through their leaves. Moreover, butterfly orchids have succulent roots that can easily become闷根, so maintaining air circulation can reduce the occurrence of闷根.5. Provide appropriate lighting
