Caring Methods for Orchids
The editor brings you an introduction to the caring methods for orchids. How to care for orchids? Detailed introduction is as follows.
1. Watering. Water when the surface is dry, ensuring thorough watering each time. After watering, enhance ventilation. Use a narrow-spout pot to water along the edge of the pot. Do not pour water directly onto the orchid's leaf stalks as it may cause rot. Normally, you can spray water on the orchid leaves and the surrounding air to increase humidity.
2. Fertilizing. To make orchids bloom every year, fertilizing is essential. Orchids have poor tolerance to fertilizer, so it is recommended to use controlled-release fertilizer once every 2-3 months. You can also apply a dilute liquid fertilizer once a week, with a dilution concentration that is twice that of other flowers.
3. Light Control. Orchids enjoy sunlight but do not tolerate direct exposure. Apart from winter and early spring, shading is necessary. To determine if orchids can be exposed to the sun, consider your own comfort in the sunlight. If you feel the sun is too intense, avoid direct exposure to orchids as it may cause sunburn.
4. Temperature Control. Orchids generally have poor cold tolerance and need to be kept warm in winter. Most varieties can tolerate temperatures around 5 degrees Celsius in winter. It is best to maintain temperatures between 5-10 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, it will affect the growth and flowering of orchids and may cause frost damage.
