As the winter weather gets colder and colder, orchids placed outdoors are vulnerable to cold snap, so they must be moved into a sunny place in time for maintenance. For those who live in buildings at home, it is best to put the orchid pot on the closed balcony, which can ensure that the orchid has plenty of sunshine, which is extremely beneficial to the pregnant bud and flowering of the orchid.

After entering the room, the room temperature should be controlled between 5-15 ℃, which can be satisfied by ordinary families. But the room temperature is not too high, too high will lead to slow growth of flower stems and poor development of buds.

Because the roots of orchids have symbiosis of root fungi, it is generally necessary to change pots every other year, and the soil is rich in nutrients, so there is no need to change pots. But for Chunlan, it will grow in winter and need to replenish nutrients in time and spray a small amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer on the leaves.

If the basin soil is really dry, it can be used for spraying water with similar room temperature around noon on a sunny day to keep the basin soil slightly wet. Orchids had better be watered with Rain Water or snow water. If tap water is used, it can be used after drying for two days.

IV. Ventilation

Orchids like a warm, humid and well-ventilated environment. Indoor stoves in the north should keep the basin away from the fire. Around noon on a sunny day, the orchid should open the window for ventilation, or put the basin in an outdoor shelter from the wind. Orchids that are maintained on a closed balcony should also be well ventilated and often open windows. But in case of a sudden drop in temperature, close the window immediately so as not to freeze the orchid.

5. Disease prevention and insect prevention

The air is dry in winter and the occurrence of diseases and insect pests is less. But indoor maintenance, if the humidity is larger, not necessarily, to timely symptomatic spray. Usually maintenance, but also to carry out protective spraying, the use of Bordeaux liquid spraying basin soil and the ground around the basin, can reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests in the second year.
