Orchids, also known as the orchid plant, have soft and green leaves, white and delicate flowers, and a fresh and distant fragrance, giving people an elegant and noble feeling with high ornamental value. When cultivating orchids, it is necessary to use the correct cultivation methods, with special attention to soil, light, and fertilization, as well as being aware of the precautions. Here is a detailed introduction.
I. Cultivation Methods
1. Soil and Pot
Orchids prefer loose and fertile soil with good drainage and breathability. When choosing a pot, it is important to ensure that there are small holes for drainage. A mixture of peat soil, garden soil, and moss can be prepared in a certain proportion.
2. Light
Orchids thrive in a well-lit environment but are sensitive to direct sunlight. They should be grown in a place with ample scattered light. In the summer, when the sun is too intense, proper shading is required. In autumn, spring, and winter, when light is weak, it is important to ensure 5 hours of sunlight each day.
3. Fertilization
Orchids enjoy fertilizer and have certain nutrient requirements. During the growing period, the plant consumes a lot and needs timely nutrient replenishment. It is essential to ensure a supply of fertilizer during cultivation. When fertilizing, the fertilizer should not be too concentrated; it should be applied frequently and thinly, opting for diluted liquid fertilizer.
II. Precautions
When cultivating orchids, it is necessary to prune regularly, removing withered and diseased leaves to avoid nutrient consumption and promote plant growth. In winter, when it is cold, pay attention to keeping warm. The plant can be moved to a plastic greenhouse to prevent freezing.
