Spring and autumn should avoid strong direct sunlight, summer sun is particularly strong, can only see some oblique light in the morning and evening, during the day need to cover 50% 70% of the sun, otherwise it will make leaf tips dry, especially flower and leaf varieties, more afraid of strong sunlight.

When turning the basin, knock the plant out of the basin, cut off the withered roots and excess roots, replace it with a new humus-rich culture soil, and then apply livestock hoof horns or rotten cake fertilizer as base fertilizer. After planting, put the seedlings in a warm and semi-overcast place. The optimum growth temperature of strawberry orchid is about 25 ℃.
