How to grow orchids and how to water them

I. Culture methods

1. Soil: choose slightly acidic soil with good air permeability, good drainage and certain nutrients, such as rotten leaf soil.

2. Watering: this kind of plants do not like the soil with too much water, so there is no need to supply too much water. Spring and autumn season ten-day water supply can be, summer every 48 hours to water, into the winter water supply times should be reduced, about half a month watering is enough.

3. Fertilization: the growth and germination of plants is inseparable from nutrients, so it is necessary to choose the right time to apply some fertilizers in the process of growth. You can make some fertilizer for the plant in summer and autumn. If the plant grows well in spring and winter, there is no need to apply fertilizer.

4. Temperature: the plant can grow rapidly only when the temperature is appropriate. This kind of plant grows well in the temperature range of 16-24 ℃, and the plant growth becomes worse when the temperature is less than 5 ℃, so we should pay attention to control the temperature in winter.

Second, watering method

1. The best time to water this kind of plant is before 9 o'clock in the morning, when the temperature is moderate, the orchid will absorb water better.

2. Try not to feed water at night. If the water does not evaporate completely, too much water will stay at the bottom of the basin and cause rotten roots for a long time.

3. Avoid watering at noon when the weather is hot and humid. If the temperature is high at noon, the cold water will lower the soil temperature and affect the plant growth.

4. This kind of plant should be watered from the edge of the basin, and a large amount of water should not be directly poured into the basin.
