How to maintain and manage orchids in autumn

Orchid is a kind of flower plant that everyone is familiar with, and almost no one dislikes those who know something about it. In particular, the spirit and flower appearance of orchids attract many flower lovers. However, due to the large fluctuation of temperature and environment in the Beginning of Autumn season, a little carelessness may lead to various growth problems of orchids.

Orchids must pay attention to conservation in autumn, otherwise they may die because of improper management. So, what do you need to pay attention to in raising orchids in autumn? How to maintain and manage orchids in autumn? Today, the editor will share with you the autumn conservation and management skills of potted orchids.

Scientific watering to prevent orchids from drying to death

After entering autumn, the climate environment generally becomes drier, and the air relative humidity is generally 20% higher than that in summer. So what I fear most about raising orchids in autumn is the lack of humidity. When watering in autumn, it should be done in the morning and evening to avoid the relatively high temperatures at noon during the day. Generally keep watering every 2 days, so that the wettability of the basin soil is reasonable. At the same time, you also need to put the potted orchids in a cool place, and then slowly water them.

Second, apply fertilizer reasonably to avoid burning the root system.

Another feature of autumn is the occasional high temperature. After all, there is a folk saying of "autumn tiger". It can be seen that autumn sometimes has the same climatic environment as summer. Therefore, in terms of topdressing, granular fertilizers with very strong fertility must be avoided. In autumn, we should apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and properly control the amount of nitrogen fertilizer, especially to avoid applying raw fertilizer, so as to avoid burning the roots of orchids.

Third, control the light to prevent dying orchids.

If you encounter an "autumn tiger" in early autumn, you must pay attention to taking shading measures in time. After all, the sun light in early autumn is sometimes very poisonous, and orchids may die in the sun if shading measures are not taken in time. In autumn, we should provide suitable light for orchids according to different varieties of orchids, but no matter which variety should avoid the period when the sun is strongest at noon on a sunny day, it is most appropriate to provide light for it when the light is relatively mild.

And the orchid itself is not suitable to receive too much direct light, it should be shaded properly, and even scattered light can be used to illuminate it. In this way, we can prevent the "autumn tiger" from causing unnecessary harm or even death to our beloved potted orchids.

If we can do a good job in the conservation and management of the above three aspects in autumn, then potted orchids can survive the autumn smoothly. I hope the knowledge shared by the editor today will help you keep your potted orchids safe and sound through the autumn.
