Orchids have symbolized elegance and nobility since ancient times. They are considered the four gentlemen, along with plum, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. The color of orchid flowers is relatively light, and they smell very fragrant, making them suitable for indoor cultivation. Properly cared for, they can bloom multiple times a year. Below is a specific introduction to the blooming time and care of orchids.
I. Orchid Blooming Time
The blooming time of orchids is not fixed. With good care, they can bloom multiple times a year. For example, spring orchids usually bloom from February to March; jiutou orchids usually bloom from March to April; jian orchids usually bloom from July to October; han orchids usually bloom from June to July; and mo orchids usually bloom in November and can continue until February of the following year.
II. Care Work
1. Soil
The soil should be loose and fertile, with a higher content of humus, and a pH value between 5 to 6.5 is most suitable.
2. Water and Fertilizer
Watering orchids should be done when the soil is dry, using clean rainwater is the most suitable. If tap water is used, it should be left to stand for two hours first before watering the orchid. The soil's moisture should be maintained at around 70%. If it often rains, the potted plant should be moved indoors. In summer, it is advisable to spray water on the leaves of orchids frequently, while in winter, water control is necessary.
Fertilizing orchids should be done with a low concentration of fertilizer. You can apply some potassium dihydrogen phosphate or use rice washing water to fertilize the orchids. The frequency of fertilizing should be controlled to once a month.
3. Light
Orchids enjoy light but are also afraid of strong light. They generally need to be placed in a semi-shaded area. In summer, appropriate shading should be provided, and during other times, it is better to keep them in a lit area.
4. Temperature
The daytime temperature should be controlled between 15℃ to 25℃, and the nighttime temperature should be around 15℃.
