1. Planting place

The site where orchids are planted is very important, and the surrounding environment is directly related to the growth of orchids. We should properly adjust the surrounding environment according to the changes of the weather season. If we mainly cultivate orchids in the open field in spring, summer and autumn, we need to place them in the greenhouse after winter to ensure that the humidity is appropriate and the light is sufficient. When choosing a planting place, we should also pay attention to whether the traffic is convenient or not. Because the orchids are mainly cultured in flowerpots, they need to be transported after reaching the listing standard.

2. Put on the basin in time

When putting up the pot, we should pay attention to selecting the flowerpot, adding the culture soil in the flowerpot, and there is no need to add base fertilizer in the early stage. After putting the orchid seedlings into the pot, we should pay attention to evacuate the roots to ensure that the roots are fully mixed with the soil, and then lift the orchids slightly. The pseudobulbs of the orchids are flush with the soil surface, and then gently press the soil with your fingers to prevent soil crevices and water them in time. After putting on the pot, we should do a good job of shading and watering, and properly bask in the sun in the morning to ensure the healthy growth of orchids.

3. Watering management

The water requirement of orchid is not high, and there are different water requirements in different growth periods. For example, its water content should be appropriately reduced during flowering, otherwise it will affect the growth of orchids. When encountering rainy days, we should pay attention to rainproof and drainage work. When watering, we should avoid high temperature at noon, pay attention to watering water, not too much, prevent retting roots from rotting, cause diseases and insect pests, and increase watering water appropriately in summer. Spray in the garden, increase humidity, winter watering should be reduced to a minimum, but also must be irrigated to prevent soil drought, affecting the growth of orchids.

4. Rational fertilization

The growth of orchids also needs certain nutrition, so it is necessary to apply fertilizer in the growth process, but it should not be applied too much. Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied 2-3 times when the new leaf buds of orchids grow. It is a good time to apply nitrogen fertilizer in spring and autumn and about 3 weeks after falling flowers. Fertilization should be properly watered in the morning after sunset in the evening, about half a month, foliar fertilizer can be sprayed properly. Promote the blooming of flower buds. When the leaves of orchids are thinner, they should be fertilized in time, but not when they are black.
