How to Make Indoor Orchids Bloom
Let me share with everyone some topics related to making indoor orchids bloom and the flower cultivation tips for promoting orchid blooming. The editor will introduce the following.
Orchids, along with plum blossoms, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, are known as the Four Gentlemen of China, belonging to terrestrial herbaceous plants, constantly showing the world a gentle, elegant, and noble image and posture. They meet the aesthetic requirements of Eastern people and are therefore loved by many. Although orchids cannot always produce large, vibrant flowers, they can bloom if the cultivation method is correct.
1. Soil
Orchids have a strong adaptability and do not have any special requirements for soil. However, their leaves and roots are quite delicate, so to make orchids bloom vibrant flowers, it is necessary to let them live in suitable soil. First, cover the bottom of the pot with palm fibers and clamshells, then mix coarse sand, coal slag, and charcoal evenly and place them in the pot, making them take up two-thirds of the pot volume, and finally cover with 3-5 centimeters of cultivation soil.
2. Temperature
Generally speaking, the lowest temperature that indoor cultivated orchids can tolerate is minus 8 degrees Celsius, and the highest is 35 degrees Celsius, with the best growth temperature being 18-30 degrees Celsius. Therefore, once the outside temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius in winter, it is necessary to move the orchids indoors promptly. When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius in summer, move the orchids to a cool and well-ventilated place or take some shading measures, but ensure that the orchids receive at least 6 hours of sunlight every day.
3. Watering
Orchids prefer to grow in a humid environment, but watering should not be too frequent or excessive. Generally, water every three days in spring and autumn to keep the soil surface in the pot moist. In summer, when the temperature is high and it is the season for orchids to grow rapidly, it is best to water promptly after noon every day. However, do not overwater; try to do it in small amounts multiple times. In winter, when the temperature is low and the lighting conditions are poor, orchids will enter a dormant period and their water demand will greatly decrease, so watering once a week is enough.
