How long does it take for orchids to adapt after repotting in autumn, and can they not be exposed to light during the adaptation period?
I. How long does it take to adapt Generally, when repotting orchids in autumn, it takes about 2-3 months for the plant to fully adapt. The length of time it takes for orchids to adapt is greatly related to the season of repotting. In autumn, the growth is a bit slower, and adaptation is slower. If repotted at the end of August, in the early autumn, it will take about two months to grow roots and sprout. In November, after the autumn, it will take about three months to grow new root sprouts. However, repotting in autumn does not make the orchid's withering very obvious, and once adapted, the growth rate of root sprouts will be rapid. In spring, the adaptation period is shorter, and the plant will grow roots and sprout one month after repotting, but there will be more withering.
If the orchid does not show signs of withering or curling leaves after repotting, it indicates that it has already adapted to the new environment. Additionally, if there are no signs of withering, such as the leaves not gradually turning yellow from the top, it also indicates that the plant has adapted. Until the plant produces new sprouts, it means that it has adapted and the roots have resumed growth. Also, it is important to avoid the orchid's blooming and germination periods during the process of repotting and dividing.
II. Can it be exposed to light? Do not rush to expose orchids to light and sunlight during the adaptation period, as it is very easy to cause withering and yellowing, which can increase the adaptation time and thus affect the survival rate. At this time, avoid strong sunlight and place the plant in a well-ventilated area with diffused light for maintenance. In the afternoon when sunlight is intense, it is also necessary to block it moderately.
The above experience and knowledge about how long it takes for orchids to adapt after repotting in autumn and whether they can be exposed to light during the adaptation period are brought to you. I hope this article can provide you with some help!
