Wenxin orchid is bright in color, the leaves are long and soft and drooping, and several florets bloom on a stem, which is commensurate with the green leaves and is very simple and elegant. As a result, it is loved by many scholars and scholars, and it is the best choice for study and desk.

Oncidium has many varieties and its florescence is relatively unfixed. it varies slightly according to the varieties and planting areas, but it is mainly concentrated from April to November, with the most flowering in spring and summer. There are yellow, white, green, magenta and brown, among which yellow is the most popular. The florescence is as short as one month and as long as two months.

Oncidium likes a warm environment and is unable to adapt to hot and cold weather. It should be cooled when the temperature is higher than 30 degrees in summer (early summer) and kept warm if it is below 15 degrees in winter. Oncidium is very delicate, so exposure to the sun is absolutely prohibited! Don't plant it outdoors.

It likes shade at the same time, so it is best to put it in the polarizing part of the room. Except for the milder sunshine in spring and winter, it can be placed on the balcony. Outdoor cultivation is not recommended at other times, even if it is placed on the balcony, it should be placed under a tall plant with dense branches and leaves, otherwise it is easy to sunburn.

Oncidium likes to be wet and can be watered when it is semi-dry. don't wait for the soil to be completely dry and then water it. It is easy to die of drought. Wet weather such as spring plum rain or rainy summer should be watered less, once a week or ten days, otherwise it is easy to rot the roots. Usually, in addition to watering the soil (especially in wet weather), you can sprinkle water around the flowerpot and sprinkle water on the leaves to cool down and increase air humidity.

When Oncidium blossoms, its growth environment should be kept in a state of lower temperature and less water, because too high temperature and more water will accelerate plant growth (or metabolism), and it is not easy to maintain a long flowering period. So don't let the flowers bask in the sun when they bloom, and the amount of water should be controlled.
