Fragrant orchid is the most fragrant variety among orchids, belonging to the fragrant orchid plant of the orchid family. Its leaves are long and sickle-shaped, and the flower color is yellowish white, usually blooming from July to November.

If you can't master this degree, it's better to water when it's slightly dry. When watering, make sure to water thoroughly, otherwise, over time, the soil will become compacted and severely affect the plant's health.
If the soil you use has excellent drainage, you can water it once a day in summer. When the temperature drops to 5 degrees in winter, you must reduce watering.
III. Fertilization
During its growing period, fertilization can be done every 10 to 15 days, but attention should be paid to the reasonable combination of fertilizers, or you can choose a special flower fertilizer directly.
