It will soon be winter, some novice orchids do not know how to raise orchids in winter, orchids are relatively cold, so we need to pay attention to the safety of winter, followed by how to raise orchids. Let's first find out the cold tolerance of various varieties of orchids.

Generally speaking, Cymbidium is the most hardy, with no problem at minus seven degrees, followed by Chunlan. Minus three or four degrees will not cause harm to Chunlan, Jianlan's cold resistance is slightly worse. It usually doesn't go wrong at zero degrees.

The worst is Meran. Generally below zero how much will cause harm to Mulan. Therefore, Meran generally requires that it is above three degrees before it is safe.

Temperature: orchid flowering requires a vernalization process, so it is not all right to put the orchid in the heating room, the temperature should be balanced during vernalization, not too high or too low. The temperature should be controlled between 0 °and 10 °. The low temperature below-5 °and the high temperature higher than 15 °are not conducive to the normal growth of buds, which can easily lead to stiff buds and affect the uplift of scape.
