Can orchids change pots in May?

Orchids generally refer to two categories: terrestrial orchids (Chinese orchids) and epiphytic orchids (foreign orchids). According to the growth habits and growth rules of orchids, no matter which kind of orchids can be changed throughout the year. However, it should be limited to many orchid friends who have many years of experience in orchid cultivation, and can only be operated under suitable conditions such as temperature, humidity, environment and so on. For some new orchid friends who have just entered the orchid gate, it is best to determine the time to change pots according to the actual growth of orchid plants and seasonal changes.

According to the regular time of changing pots, the operation should be carried out before the new leaf buds of orchid plants are unearthed. However, the sprouting time of orchid plants will be early and late depending on different varieties and management conditions. Therefore, when changing soil and pots for orchid plants, it is best to operate before the leaf buds have just sprouted and have not been unearthed.

After entering May, the leaf buds of most species of orchids began to sprout and grow, and some of them even grew and unearthed. For example, many varieties of Jian Lan have already unearthed leaf buds in May. In this case, for new friends who raise orchids, it is necessary to avoid operation as far as possible, reduce the damage to leaf buds and roots during the operation, and also reduce the phenomenon of stiff seedlings, rotten roots and grass withdrawal due to inadequate management after changing pots. Improper operation will greatly prolong the pot time of orchid plants.

To sum up, orchid plants can be changed in May, but the most important thing is according to their own orchid planting experience, and the actual growth of orchid plants, can not one-sidedly judge and determine the operation of changing pots from a certain period of time. Some of the orchid raising experience and knowledge we have mastered should be used flexibly and should not be mechanically applied.
