1. Upper basin

The cultivation of orchids needs to choose a good flowerpot, and it is best to use a special orchid culture soil. Orchids that have just come into the pot do not need to add base fertilizer to the soil. Transplanting orchids need to make the roots only scattered before the surrounding soil can be filled gently and tightly. Finally, it should be watered thoroughly and put in a place where there is no direct sunlight for maintenance.

2. Watering

The cultivation and watering of orchids is very important, and too much or too little watering will lead to poor growth. Orchids have different needs for water according to different seasons. Generally speaking, when the orchid is in bloom, the demand for water is reduced, and the dewy orchid needs to pay attention to cover the rain to avoid poor growth caused by soaking the roots in stagnant water for a long time. Watering orchids is usually best done in the morning or evening. It is necessary to increase watering in summer and reduce watering in winter. Each watering can only be carried out until the soil surface is dry, to prevent excessive watering from causing disease and to prevent long-term water shortage from causing leaf dryness.

3. Fertilization

The growth of orchids is inseparable from an adequate nutrient environment. If orchids want to grow well, it is necessary to fertilize orchids in time. If orchids blossom more and more beautifully, they must know how to apply fertilizer. Generally speaking, fertilizing orchids should be carried out in accordance with the principle of thin fertilizer and frequent application. It is necessary to apply fertilizer when the orchid begins to sprout, and the nitrogen fertilizer used at this time can promote the leaf growth of the orchid. Some organic fertilizer or phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be used before orchid flowering, stop topdressing during flowering, and need to be topdressing in time after flowering. If we are not sure which kind of fertilizer can be used, we will use compound fertilizer, compound fertilizer nutrient balance, orchid compound fertilizer is also very good. To judge whether the orchid is deficient in fertilizer, you can observe its leaves. When the leaves turn yellow, they lack fertilizer, and when the leaves are dark green, they are nutritious, and there is no need to topdressing at this time.

4. Environment

The environmental requirements of cultivating orchids are relatively high, and the environment should be well ventilated, otherwise it will lead to frequent diseases. with the change of seasons, we need to culture orchids in places with sufficient scattered light in time to avoid direct light. also avoid long-term farming in dark places. In winter, we should pay attention to the cold and keep warm, the dewy orchids will be moved to indoor heat preservation, the temperature is too low will lead to frost injury.
