The watering management of orchids is very important in spring. The weather is getting warmer, and orchids should be given plenty of water after they leave the house. Pass the orchid through the clear water, remove the waste gas and waste in the plant and the basin, keep it moist, and make the orchid recover quickly.

When the spring breeze rises and the weather gets warmer, it is just when the new buds swell and unearth. At this time, because the water in the basin soil volatilizes quickly, the water should be supplied in time. Planting orchids with granular plant materials can be a little wet. Spring is the golden time for orchids to sprout and grow, but in the south, there is a "plum rain". It rains almost every day and steams at 100% humidity. Bacteria will take the opportunity to enter and the new buds will rot away. Therefore, during this period of time, white fiberglass is often used to cover the rain, so that the orchid basin is dried and then watered according to the situation. It is different in the north, where it seldom rains in spring. If large grain plant material is used, it should be watered at noon. In this way, the basin turns wet at night to facilitate growth at night. If the water is well managed, new seedlings can be seen growing taller almost every day.

When orchids sprout and unearthed in spring, the correct application of fertilizer is also very important. Too many times and too much fat and water will often hurt the orchid. Since modern orchids mostly use soilless granular plants, it is important to look at plant topdressing. Orchid mud, pond mud and charcoal soil are rich in fertilizers. If they are new plant materials, there is no need for more topdressing within a year, just once every half a month to once a month. Chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer are very effective, it is better to use light and thin, choose cloudy days or evening application, do not let orchids stained with fertilizer solution when fertilizing.

In addition, it depends on the growth of the orchid itself. Big seedlings, strong seedlings should be frequently applied nitrogen fertilizer, can be once every three or five days. Rejuvenated orchids should appropriately reduce the number of times, from once a month to once a week, with whether orchids can be absorbed or not. On the other hand, weak grass, rootless grass and leafless bulbs should definitely be educated and should not be fertilized, otherwise haste makes waste, and they will suffer from it.

If water and fertilizer are properly applied in spring, orchids will grow well in a year.
