Nonsense about the maintenance of orchids in winter

It's winter now, isn't it? So, how to raise orchids in winter? How to manage has always been the confusion of novice orchids? To be honest, I am also a newcomer of orchids. Please forgive me for talking nonsense about the conservation of orchids in winter.

Generally speaking, orchids are semi-dormant in winter, and the demand for water and fertilizer is not very high. However, the daily management of orchids can not be relaxed. I foolishly think that in winter, strengthening the management of water, light and temperature of orchids will be of great help to the opening of orchids and next year's hair grass. However, orchids can not be managed the same in winter, because there is no law for orchid cultivation, and different management methods should be determined according to different orchid varieties and different degrees of strength. Of course, specific aspects should be treated separately.

1. In order to reduce the hidden danger of diseases and pests in the orchid house, insecticides and fungicides should be used to spray orchids and orchids respectively during the autumn and winter season. So as not to be caught off guard next year.

two。 To do a good job of anti-freezing and heat preservation, if the temperature of the orchid room is lower than the critical survival temperature of the orchid, then the orchid will frostbite or even die. Generally speaking, the temperature of the orchid room should be above 0 degrees. If the weather is below 0 degrees, close the doors and windows, or even hang the plastic film for the orchid room.

3. Proper water control can prevent orchid frostbite to some extent in winter. It is best to make the orchid basin slightly moist or not. When watering, try to do it at noon when the temperature is the highest and the sun is the most. And turn on the fan, so that the water can be volatilized as soon as possible to avoid freezing when the temperature is low at night.

4. It is necessary to increase the light. When the temperature is high at noon, slightly open the doors and windows and open the plastic film to let the orchid room and orchids receive sunlight as much as possible. The use of sunlight to increase the temperature of the orchid room, so that the orchid full photosynthesis, accumulation of nutrients. Get ready for flowering and sprouting next year. If it is cloudy, if possible, use artificial lighting.

5. Avoid rain, snow, and freezing. My suggestion is not to fertilize. If you don't worry about the growth of orchids, you should apply them lightly once at noon when the temperature is high, or once in a winter.
