After the "orchid" blooms, take a pair of scissors and cut it, and the lush buds will grow faster!

Yes, from ancient times to the present, who can resist the charm of orchids? For friends who have orchids at home, I believe what they look forward to most during the process of growing orchids is seeing the orchids bloom, right? After blooming, the orchid looks even more quiet and elegant, which is pleasing to the eye!

It is not uncommon for many people to only water and fertilize orchids when growing them, and they no longer take care of them after they bloom. Huahua knows that many people grow plants according to the principle of keeping things simple, because doing more may not necessarily make the plants grow better.

But this is not necessarily the case for orchids. What you may not know is that if the orchid is cultivated on the ground after flowering, it can still absorb nutrients from the soil, but this is not necessarily the case for potted orchids! Today Huahua will talk to you about what measures we need to take after the orchids we usually grow in pots at home bloom!

If you are a serious orchid enthusiast, the orchids in your home are relatively rare and valuable, and you have high expectations for orchids, you should observe the condition of the orchids more when growing them, and you can cut the flowers in advance when the orchids are about to wither after blooming.

This practice is mainly because orchids that are about to wither will also absorb nutrients. In this way, the withered orchids will absorb the nutrients of the orchids that are about to bloom, which may affect the quality of the orchid's flowering. Therefore, it is better to cut the orchids early. ps: Please note that it is best to keep it about six centimeters away from the surface of the basin!

Orchids need special care after blooming. Basically, we can fertilize the orchids on time and in the right amount. Orchids in the growth and flowering period generally require compound fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This compound fertilizer is very helpful for the growth of new side buds and flowering of orchids.

However, do not apply too much fertilizer. Orchids themselves do not like fertilizer. Excessive fertilization will not make orchids grow faster, but will only cause fertilizer accumulation and root burn, which are bad situations. Therefore, everyone must apply fertilizer scientifically to ensure sufficient nutrients.

Flowering orchids do not have high requirements for water. There is no need to increase the water content. Just make sure the soil in the pot is moist but not wet. Do not blindly increase the water content of the orchid, as this may cause the roots to rot.

In addition, daily maintenance is also critical. In terms of light, we must ensure that the orchid has sufficient light, and also conform to the orchid's habit of growing in semi-shade. Generally, orchids are placed in a place with scattered sunlight, which can ensure light while ensuring that the light is not too strong.

When growing orchids, you must also pay attention to diseases and pests, especially when you grow more precious orchids at home, you must be more careful to prevent the orchids from being attacked by diseases and pests. Prevention is the main approach to pests and diseases. If the flowers are unfortunately attacked by pests and diseases, we can buy relevant pesticides and follow the instructions.

In short, orchids still need special care after blooming, and everyone is required to be careful and attentive. Once you have gotten through the flowering season, you will feel better. I hope your orchids will grow better and better!
