Orchids, also known as orchid grass, have soft and green leaves, white and delicate flowers, and fresh and long-lasting fragrance, giving people a sense of elegance and nobility, and they have high ornamental value. When cultivating orchids, it is necessary to use the correct cultivation methods, especially focusing on soil management, light, and fertilization, and it is also necessary to be aware of the precautions. Here are the detailed introductions.
I. Cultivation Methods
1. Soil and Pot
Orchid grass prefers loose and fertile soil and also needs good drainage and ventilation. When choosing a pot, make sure it has small holes for drainage. You can mix peat soil, garden soil, and moss in a certain proportion.
2. Light
Orchid grass likes a well-lit growing environment and avoids direct sunlight. It should be cultivated in a place with plenty of scattered light. In the midst of summer, when the sun is too intense, timely shading is required; in spring, autumn, and winter, when the light is weak, ensure 5 hours of sunlight every day.
3. Fertilization
Orchid grass likes fertilizer and has certain nutrient requirements. During the growing period, the plant consumes a lot and needs timely nutrient replenishment. During cultivation, it is essential to ensure the supply of fertilizer. When fertilizing, the fertilizer should not be too concentrated and should be applied frequently with diluted liquid fertilizer.
II. Precautions
When cultivating orchids, it is necessary to prune regularly, promptly cutting off the withered and diseased leaves of the plant to avoid nutrient consumption, which is beneficial for plant growth. In winter, it's cold, so be careful with cold protection. The plant can be moved to a plastic greenhouse to prevent freezing.
