If you want to know the cultivation methods for potted black orchid and the tips for growing a healthy black orchid, as well as knowledge about flowers, the following is an introduction by the editor.
By focusing on "4 points," black orchids won't turn yellow or dry out for ten years and will bloom annually.
Black orchids are one of the easier orchid varieties to grow. They have broad, dark leaves and are relatively easy to care for. Xiaoqi started growing orchids with black orchids because of an older brother he knows who has been growing black orchids for many years. Before he met him, he had been growing a pot of black orchid for over 10 years without any dried or yellowed leaves, and it bloomed every year. Today, let's talk about how to grow black orchids well, keeping them growing continuously, with better leaf growth, more new shoots, and more flowers.
One, the soil mixture should be good. Black orchids are relatively easy to grow, and we can follow the same soil mixture method used for other orchids, using a breathable, water-permeable mixture that also contains some nutrients. You can directly use granulated peat, peanut shells, and small ceramsite in a 1:1 ratio. Cultivating black orchids with this mixture will not cause any problems.
Two, watering should be reasonable. Like other orchids, black orchids have thick, white, fleshy roots. When caring for black orchids, you should not let the potting soil stay too dry for long. You can water it thoroughly when the soil is almost dry, allowing the soil to be completely filled with water. However, remember to water during通风 times to prevent root rot. This is the most reliable method. The simplest method is to insert a long bamboo stick almost to the bottom of the pot. When you want to water, pull out the bamboo stick to check. If the bottom of the stick has no moisture, water it thoroughly. But make sure to water thoroughly, not just half or one side. When watering, try to rotate the pot to water it several times. Remember not to water with both sunny and shady water.
Three, fertilization should be appropriate. First, if we want to grow black orchids well, we cannot do without the supplement of fertilizer. How should we choose fertilizer? Use a multi-element fertilizer during the growing season to provide nutrient supplements, which will help the roots grow well, the leaves grow large, and new shoots emerge quickly. Its growing season is generally from after flowering until the arrival of summer. Therefore, you can use a multi-element fertilizer during this season. But in summer, when it is in a slower growth phase, which is usually the time for it to differentiate flower buds, we should not fertilize or water frequently. Only water when the soil is completely dry. However, fertilization should be sufficient. How to fertilize? Choose a fertilizer with phosphorus and potassium elements, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and use it once a month to ensure it does not lack phosphorus and potassium elements, allowing it to quickly differentiate flower buds. Continue using it until the flower buds emerge and grow tall, and stop using potassium dihydrogen phosphate when they are about to bloom.

Four, reasonable exposure to light. Black orchids are very shade-tolerant plants, unlike other orchids, they do not require us to place them in the strongest light. We can put them in a bright place with a couple of hours of scattered light, which will allow them to grow normally without becoming leggy, having light-colored leaves, or not flowering. Do not expose them to direct sunlight, as too much light can cause yellowing at the leaf edges, black spots, and sunburn. In spring and winter, you can expose them to more light because the light is较弱 during these seasons. More light exposure will help them grow rapidly and quickly differentiate and sprout, growing tall and flowering.
Black orchids are very easy to grow. By following the same soil mixture method used for other orchids, ensuring good breathability and water permeability, regularly supplementing fertilizer, watering thoroughly when the soil is almost dry, and providing reasonable exposure to light without direct sunlight, as well as ensuring good ventilation, watering will not cause waterlogging or root rot. If you follow these steps, you can grow a pot of black orchid for several years without any problems, because you are providing it with water and fertilizer, the roots and leaves will grow, and with good ventilation, there will be no烂叶 or烂根. Choosing the right fertilizer, growing during the growing season, and flowering during the flowering season is the best method to grow black orchids. Beginners can learn and try it out, and I'm sure you will be able to grow it well.
