Today, the editor will introduce some small green plant maintenance tips on how to prune orchids after their blooming period and the pruning methods for orchid stems. Please refer to the detailed introduction below.
After the potted orchid blooms, in order not to waste nutrients, we need to prune the faded flowers in time to allow the nutrients to concentrate on promoting the plant's recovery and growth. To prevent decay, it's best to prune the base of the flower stem as well.
After pruning, it's also necessary to clean up the area around the pot, removing all the fallen leaves from the pot to ensure a good growing environment for the orchids and prevent the decay of fallen branches and leaves from breeding bacteria and causing diseases and pests.
After blooming, it's important to supplement fertilizer in a timely manner to promote the rapid recovery of the orchid plant's vitality and replenish the large amount of nutrients consumed during flowering. You can apply a thin, decomposed cake fertilizer water every half month and spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer to promote the growth of branches and leaves.
The methods introduced above for pruning orchids after their blooming period and for pruning orchid stems are shared as reference suggestions for everyone.
