Orchids are a popular indoor ornamental flower, and their beauty and elegance bring endless happiness to people. However, the cold weather in winter has caused certain problems to the growth environment of orchids, so correct winter maintenance is particularly important for the growth and development of orchids. This article will introduce you to how to scientifically maintain orchids in winter so that they can still thrive in the cold winter.
1. Temperature control: Maintain a suitable temperature environment
The growth temperature of orchids in winter is generally between 15 ° C and 25 ° C. Try to avoid too low or too high the temperature. In cold winter, you can choose to provide a stable warm environment for orchids indoors to avoid being attacked by cold air.
2. Moderate light: Provide enough light orchids like light, but there is less sunshine in winter. You should choose a bright location to place orchids to avoid excessively dark or excessively sunny environments. Artificial light sources can be used to make up for insufficient light.
3. Maintain humidity: Prevent the soil from drying out indoors in winter, so spray water regularly on orchids to keep the surrounding environment moist. At the same time, pay attention to avoid standing water on orchid leaves to prevent pests and diseases.
4. Control the amount of watering: Avoid excessive wetting. In winter, orchids grow slowly and require relatively little water. Watering should be controlled at an appropriate amount. Do not over-water it to avoid water accumulation and rot at the roots.
5. Pay attention to ventilation: Maintain air circulation. Windows and doors are often closed indoors in winter, and air circulation is not smooth. Open windows for ventilation at appropriate times to keep the air fresh and circulated.
6. Prevention and control of pests and diseases: Prevent and deal with winter orchids in advance are fragile and vulnerable to pests and diseases. The leaves and roots of orchids should be inspected regularly, and once pests and diseases are discovered, corresponding measures should be taken in time to prevent and control them.
7. Master fertilizer use: Avoid over-fertilization in winter, orchids grow slowly and require relatively low nutrients, so it is not advisable to over-fertilize. Special fertilizers suitable for orchid growth should be selected and appropriate amounts should be applied according to the instructions.
8. Trim orchids well: Maintain healthy growth Winter is the dormant period of orchids, but appropriate pruning is still needed to promote the emergence of new shoots. Pay attention to cutting off the withered leaves and stems to keep the orchids growing in a neat and orderly state.
9. Reduce the number of movements: Avoid damaging roots. In winter, orchids grow more fragile, and frequent movements can easily cause damage to roots. Try to reduce the number of movements after selecting the placement position to protect the root system of the orchid.
10. Pay attention to cold and warm: Avoid being harmed by cold. Cold winter can easily cause harm to orchids, so pay attention to strengthening warm measures for orchids when cold weather comes, such as using insulation covers and increasing the surrounding temperature.
11. Moderate fertilization: Providing necessary nutrients Although orchids grow slowly in winter, they still need moderate nutritional supplements. You can choose to use low-concentration orchi-specific fertilizers to avoid excessive fertilization and damage to roots.
12. Pay attention to observation: Handle abnormal situations in a timely manner. In winter, orchids are prone to some abnormal conditions, such as yellowing of leaves and slow growth. Observe and deal with it in a timely manner, find out the cause of the problem, and take corresponding measures to repair it.
13. Provide suitable environmental conditions for orchids. When maintaining orchids in winter, you must provide them with a stable and comfortable growth environment. Including suitable conditions such as temperature, humidity, light, etc., as well as good ventilation and avoidance of excessive wetting.
14. Pay attention to the growth cycle and needs of orchids. Different types of orchids have different growth cycles and needs in winter. Maintenance measures should be reasonably arranged based on the characteristics and habits of orchids to promote their healthy growth.
15. Scientific maintenance allows orchids to sprout in winter. Through correct temperature control, moderate light, maintaining humidity, controlling watering amount, paying attention to ventilation, controlling pests and diseases, mastering fertilizer use, and pruning, orchids can be kept in the cold. Winter continues to thrive and usher in a new life in the new year. Only by scientific maintenance can orchids sprout in winter and bring us beauty and joy.
