Although orchid branches and leaves are simple, they should be pruned in time after flowering, and the next flower will be more beautiful.

The branches and leaves of orchids are simple and often make people forget that they also need to be trimmed. Especially after flowering, pedicels, yellow leaves and old roots should be cut off in order to look forward to the next pedicel elongation and beautiful flowers. Orchid daily pruning, generally cut off in time when the old leaves are withered and yellow, to facilitate ventilation, and the withered tips of some leaves should also be cut off. In particular, the leaves damaged by diseases and insect pests need to be removed in time to avoid infection. When cutting off leaves with virus disease, do not use scissors to cut disease-free leaves to prevent the virus from spreading. If the same pair of scissors is used, it needs to be disinfected.

After the flower buds of precious orchids are unearthed, if there are too many flower buds, strong buds should be left, and the rest of the thin flower buds should be removed, leaving 1-2 flower buds in each pot. If there are too many flower buds, it will not only make the flowers bloom badly, but also consume too much nutrients of the maternal parent to affect the flowering next year. In general, orchids do not cut off flower buds.

The flowers of Chunlan, which bloom for about half a month, need to be cut off, and the flowers of Chardonnay should also be cut off when the last flower on the inflorescence blossoms for a week. Valuable varieties should not be pollinated, otherwise they will blossom the following year. If it is used as a cross breeding, it needs additional culture to make its fruit full and ripe.

For orchids with poor growth, those with few leaves per clump or poor roots should be picked in addition to routine pruning. For better varieties, Chunlan can properly pick 1-2 buds, Chardonnay leaves 1-2 buds when the buds are extended, and the rest can be removed, so that the flowers can bloom longer and make the new leaves more, and the old leaves are not easy to die.

1. The yellow leaves should be cut off at any time.

2. The pedicel after blooming can be cut off after the flower is shedding.

3. When it is found that the orchid has a new root system, the old root can be cut off if the dried flat root is seen.
