How to grow spring orchids in summer

1. Temperature

The temperature must be kept within the warm range and not too high. In summer, the temperature in many parts of our country is very high. Then, it is best to move the plant to a cooler place indoors, or take other cooling measures. Otherwise, its growth will be affected.

2. Light

In summer, appropriate light is needed, but not too strong. Normally, diffuse light is all you need. Alternatively, place it directly in a semi-shaded place, in the shade on the balcony, etc. If the light is too strong, be careful to shade it.

3. Watering

The evaporation rate is very high in summer, so you must pay attention to adequate water. However, the more water is not necessarily better, and water should not accumulate. In addition, pay attention to the time. It is best to water at night in summer. Pay attention to the type of water, it is best to use rainwater, well water or river water. If you use tap water, you need to expose it to sunlight before use to remove the bleach in it.

4. Fertilizer

The summer is very hot, so fertilizer may not be applied for the time being.

5. Soil

The soil needs to be slightly acidic to be suitable for the growth of the plant. If you use tap water for watering for a long time, the soil in the pot is likely to become alkaline. At this time, some ferrous sulfate can be used to neutralize it. In addition, you can loosen the soil.

6. Prevent and control pests and diseases

In summer, the temperature is already very high. If the humidity is also high, some diseases and pests are likely to occur, so we must pay attention to prevention and control.
