Is it easy to care for potted orchids?
Today, let me introduce to you whether it is easy to care for potted orchids and the cultivation methods and precautions of orchids, as well as some knowledge about flowers. Let's get to know more about it.
Orchids are plants with high ornamental value, and they can effectively purify the indoor air when cultivated at home. Therefore, they are loved by most people. However, many people wonder whether it is easy to care for potted orchids. In fact, it is relatively simple to grow orchids at home. You just need to understand the plant's growth habits and then water and fertilize appropriately. Next, let's follow the editor to learn about the cultivation methods and precautions of orchids.
【One, is it easy to care for potted orchids?】
Orchids are plants from tropical regions that prefer to grow in warm environments and have strong adaptability. Therefore, they are relatively easy to care for. If you want to grow orchids well at home, it is best to place them on the balcony or in the living room, as this allows the plants to absorb plenty of sunlight, which promotes their growth.
However, in the summer, the temperature can be quite hot, so when growing orchids, it is best to provide some shade for the plants to prevent sunburn, which can affect their ornamental value. Moreover, it is also necessary to water and fertilize appropriately to make the orchids grow stronger.
【Two, orchid cultivation methods and precautions】
<1. Soil selection>
When growing orchids at home, you need to choose the soil they like, mainly humus soil. This type of soil can be purchased directly or self-cultivated. When cultivating, make sure the soil has good ventilation, as this benefits their growth. Choosing poor-quality soil can affect the plant's normal growth.
<2. Proper lighting>
Is it easy to care for potted orchids?
Orchids prefer a semi-shaded environment and are sensitive to direct sunlight, especially the black orchid. When caring for orchids, it is necessary to provide shade during the spring, summer, and autumn seasons. You can set up a shade棚 or place them under the eaves in a cool and well-ventilated area, where they can receive scattered light, with early morning and evening light being the best. In winter, they can be placed near a window sill indoors where direct sunlight does not reach.
<3. Appropriate watering>
Before watering, observe whether the orchid pot needs water. Touch the orchid soil with your hand. If it's not sticky or the surface of the potting soil shows white, it's time to water. When watering, make sure the entire potting soil is evenly moistened to ensure the roots are evenly distributed. You can also use the immersion method, placing the whole pot in water to allow water to seep into the pot from the bottom.
<4. Fertilization management>
On the basis of proper watering, to promote better growth of the orchid grass, fertilization becomes particularly important. Organic fertilizers, such as farmyard manure, should be diluted, and can be applied once every ten days or so. Other inorganic fertilizers should be used according to the instructions. During the growing period of orchids, foliar fertilizers can be applied externally. Therefore, the general requirement for orchid fertilization is to use less, dilute, and truly apply thin and frequent fertilization.
