Do a good job of maintenance in autumn and winter. It is no problem to blossom brightly and safely in the coming year.

The flowering period of orchids is from November to December, and it is now in the bud and growing period, so many flower friends leave messages backstage, how is it best to maintain orchids in winter? Today, lobular leaves will come to tell you that it is absolutely no problem to grasp these five points and ask them to blossom in the winter and next year.

NO.1 enters the room in time to keep warm.

The winter is cold and the temperature is very low, so the orchids should be moved into the room for maintenance in time. After entering the room, the room temperature should be controlled between 5-15 ℃. Room temperature is not too high, too high will lead to slow growth of flower stems and poor development of buds. If it is a building, it is recommended to move the orchid back to the sealed balcony, which can ensure that the orchid has enough sunshine, which is very beneficial to the pregnant bud and flowering of the orchid.

NO.2 increases light to replenish energy

The roots of orchids are symbiotic with root fungi and grow in winter, so to enhance the duration of light, photosynthesis is very important for orchids and can provide nutrients for orchids. It is recommended to light for about 4 hours a day.

NO.3 timely Water Control to protect Root system

"it is not dry in summer and autumn, and not wet in winter and spring." this is the orchid cultivation experience summarized by predecessors. Orchids need less water in winter, and the basin soil can be kept moist. If the pot soil is very dry, the orchid can be watered with normal temperature water when the temperature is high at noon. When watering, the orchid should be watered along the edge of the flowerpot to keep the pot soil slightly wet. The root system of orchid is fleshy root, which can not die if the water is cut off, but if the pot soil is dry for a long time, it will lead to the strong orchid root to become empty root, which is not conducive to the growth of orchid.

NO.4 keep ventilated and prevent diseases

In order to keep the orchid from freezing, the orchid can not stay in an unventilated place for a long time, which will lead to frostbite, and the orchid leaves are very prone to black spots in spring. The correct method is when the temperature is high, to timely open the window for ventilation, to promote air convection, the way to prevent cold air, except during the freezing period, it is best to choose to open the window at noon to breathe! The maintenance of orchids on the balcony should also ensure good ventilation and often open windows. But in case of a sudden drop in temperature, close the window immediately so as not to freeze the orchid.

NO.5 regularly topdressing and saving nutrients

Although the orchid grows slowly in winter, it does not mean that it does not need nutrition. In order to make the orchid bloom more exuberantly in the coming flowering period, it is necessary to fertilize the orchid regularly at this stage to ensure that the orchid has sufficient nutrients. It is recommended to use bone powder and plant ash as raw materials to make flower fertilizer. If you think self-made flower fertilizer is troublesome and smelly, you can apply 10g microbial agent flower fertilizer to the orchid every 20-30 days. Organic acids secreted by microorganisms can improve the soil environment, and dissolve phosphorus and potassium to improve soil fertility! Do not burn the root, do not rot the root, protect the root system!
