How to strengthen the conservation of orchids in winter is the key to the vigorous growth and flowering of orchids in the coming year. In order to maintain and manage orchids in winter, management measures must be taken according to the variety characteristics of orchids.

-keep warm in the house. In winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, and orchids placed outdoors are vulnerable to cold snap, so they must be moved into the place where the indoor sun shines in time. People who live in buildings had better put orchid pots in the sunny closed balcony. This orientation can ensure that the orchid receives more sunlight, which is very beneficial to the growth, budding and flowering of the orchid. For overwintering orchids, room temperature should be controlled between 5 degrees Celsius and 15 degrees Celsius. If the room temperature is too low, it will not play the role of protecting against cold and warmth; if the room temperature is too high, the flower stem grows slowly and the flower bud develops poorly, which is easy to make the formed bud shrink and die. Because the spring orchid is more hardy, it needs a low temperature period of about 0 degrees Celsius in 3 ~ 4 weeks to complete vernalization, and then the orchid can bloom. Therefore, spring orchid overwintering room temperature control between 3 degrees Celsius ~ 8 degrees Celsius is the most appropriate.

Maintenance methods of orchids in winter:

1. Be sure to understand what kind of orchids you raise, and take different management methods according to the varieties of orchids in order to make the orchids survive the winter safely.

two。 Watering

In the cultivation of orchids in winter, water supply is the key. With the decrease of temperature, the nutrient supply of indoor potted orchids is very critical. We must water more according to the situation. If the humidity is too low, we can use spray to spray water. This can prevent orchid leaf blight.

3. Fertilizer application

Orchid planting in winter should be reasonably fertilized, especially before winter, organic fertilizer should be applied to the root, watering every 10 days, and foliar fertilizer can also be properly sprayed to promote the better growth of orchids.

4. Pest control

Winter is a period of high incidence of orchid soft rot, stem rot and other diseases and insect pests, so it is necessary to spray pesticides in time to control orchids.
