Potted orchids should be pruned in time after flowering to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption. It is necessary to prune the residual flowers in time, cut off the pedicels together, and cut off the flowers from the base, so as to facilitate the centralized replenishment of nutrients. In addition, diseased leaves, withered leaves and overgrown branches and leaves are cut off together and properly sterilized after pruning. Fertilizers should also be replenished in time after flowering.

Prune the flower stem after the orchid blossoms

Pruning pedicels

When potted orchids bloom, in order not to waste nutrients, we need to prune the residual flowers in time to concentrate nutrients to promote plant recovery and growth. in order to avoid decay, it is best to trim the base of the flower stem together and disinfect it properly after pruning.

Second, clean up the basin soil

After pruning, it is necessary to clean up around the flowerpot and clean up all the fallen leaves in the flowerpot, so as to ensure that the orchid has a good growth environment, avoid falling branches and leaves from rotting and breeding bacteria, produce diseases and insect pests, and endanger the normal growth of orchid plants.

III. Post-anthesis maintenance

After flowering, potted orchids should be supplemented with fertilizers in time to promote orchid plants to restore their growth vitality as soon as possible and supplement a large amount of nutrients consumed by flowering. Mature thin cake fertilizer and water can be applied once a month, and 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer can be sprayed. Promote the growth of branches and leaves, but also provide a guarantee for better flowering in the coming year.
