1. Selection of basin soil

Lipstick hanging orchid basin soil with loose and fertile sandy loam is the best, and the drainage is good. The pot soil is slightly acidic, and the pot culture soil made of peat soil, sand and vermiculite can be used, and an appropriate amount of calcium superphosphate is added.

2. Placement position

Lipstick hanging orchid should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and pay attention to maintain environmental humidity. Avoid continuous high temperature and humidity, poor drainage and ventilation will cause decay. Lipstick orchids are not hardy and need to be indoors in winter.

3. Give light.

In a semi-overcast environment, in addition to the strong light at noon in midsummer, adequate light should be given at other times of the year, especially in winter. If the light is too strong or insufficient in the placement site, the leaves will easily become light green or yellowish green.

4. Fertilization

Safflower needs less fertilizer at ordinary times, and it is better to apply some rotten liquid fertilizer every two weeks. Add appropriate amount of horns of livestock hooves and broken bones as base fertilizer when putting on the basin. During the vigorous growth period, lipstick orchid can be treated with mature organic fertilizer once every 20 days, and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied after summer. For example, 0.1% solution of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 20 times solution of rotten fish visceral water and bone water can promote the opening of autumn flowers.

5. Pest control

Lipstick orchid has less diseases and insect pests, but when cultivated in summer, lipstick orchid is easy to suffer from anthracnose because of hot and humid weather and other reasons. When the plant is sick, it often produces small spots on the leaves, and gradually expands to form yellow-brown round spots. When the disease is serious, more than half of the leaves wither and die, and sometimes disease spots are also produced on the stems. Keeping good ventilation, reducing air humidity and reducing the amount of nitrogen fertilizer in the cultivation field can prevent the occurrence of the disease.

6. Pruning

When the growth is exuberant, the heart can be properly removed to promote branching. After the winter flowering period, the residual stems that have flowered should be cut off in time, which can save nutrients, promote new branches and make them blossom.
