Orchids, also known as orchid grass, have soft and green leaves, white and delicate flowers, and fresh and distant fragrance, giving people a sense of elegance and nobility, and high ornamental value. When cultivating orchids, it is necessary to use the correct cultivation methods, especially focusing on soil management, lighting, and fertilization, and also understanding the precautions. The following is a detailed introduction.
I. Cultivation Methods
1. Soil and Pot
Orchids prefer loose and fertile soil with good drainage and ventilation. When choosing a pot, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there are small holes for drainage. Peat soil, garden soil, and moss can be mixed in a certain proportion.
2. Lighting
Orchids enjoy a well-lit growing environment and are averse to direct sunlight. They should be cultivated in a place with ample diffused light. In the midsummer, when the sun is too intense, it is necessary to provide timely shading. In autumn, winter, and spring, with weaker light, it is necessary to ensure 5 hours of light exposure every day.
3. Fertilization
Orchids like fertilizer and have certain nutrient requirements. During the growing period, the plant consumes a lot and needs to supplement nutrients in time. During the cultivation period, it is essential to ensure the supply of fertilizer. When fertilizing, the fertilizer should not be too concentrated and should be applied frequently with a thin solution, such as 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 to the growth of the plant. In winter, when it is cold, pay attention to keeping warm. The plant can be moved to a plastic greenhouse to prevent frostbite.
