Which of the three most common mistakes you made in raising orchids?

Because many novice orchids love flowers eagerly, but do not understand the growth habits of orchids, they often adopt wrong management methods in maintenance, resulting in yellow leaves, rotten roots and death of orchids. So, what are the most likely to make mistakes in the maintenance of orchids? Let's take a look at it.

1, the orchid plant is too deep. When some novice orchid growers transplant orchid plants, they often plant orchid plants too deep, thinking that they can absorb water and nutrients only if they are deeply planted, so it is easy to stuffy the newly issued leaf buds and flower buds. When transplanting orchids, the Reed heads of orchids should be exposed to the soil or covered with a thin layer of soil, never too deep.

2. Watering is irregular and uncontrolled. Some novice flower growers love flowers too eagerly, fearing that their orchids will dry out and water them every time without waiting for the soil to dry. For a long time, they are either yellow leaves or rotten roots. As the saying goes, raise orchids a little and water them for three years. It can be seen that watering orchids should be moderate, neither too wet nor too dry, and keep the soil moist and not too wet. Therefore, watering orchids should not be casually watered, but should be watered regularly and moderately, so that they should not be dry and watered thoroughly.

3. Excessive fertilization is too strong. Proper application of fertilizer can promote the growth and bud blooming of orchids, but orchids are very sensitive to fertilizers, coupled with the slow growth of orchids, the demand for fertilizer is not very large, a little careless fertilization will be wasted. Therefore, the orchid should be fertilized with thin fertilizer and light fertilizer, and the safest way for some beginners is to buy ready-made orchid special nutrient solution or special fertilizer and use it with water as required.
