Because the nutrients in the old soil have been exhausted, if the soil is not changed in time, it will be disadvantageous to the growth of the plant. When changing soil, you should choose loose soil, not too sticky and heavy. Changing soil can apply sufficient base fertilizer at the bottom of the basin.

If the amount of water is too much, its roots will easily rot, and it is more necessary to control the amount of water in winter. Water evaporation is relatively slow, and if the amount of water is too large, it may be frostbitten.

3. Reasonable lighting

If the light is too strong, it will be sunburned and the leaves will turn yellow. However, it can be exposed to light in winter, but it is best to keep it indoors. Low temperatures outside may cause frostbite.

4. Proper pruning

If you want the orchid to grow more luxuriantly, it is important to prune it in time. In the process of its growth, once withered branches, diseased branches and leaves are found, they should be pruned with scissors in time. After pruning, more fertilizer can be applied to make it grow more healthily.
