How to make the short-leafed tiger tail orchid bloom

one. Repotting soil:

1. After this plant has grown for one to two years, its roots will expand to the entire pot. At this time, we should change the pot in time so that it can grow more luxuriantly than before.

2. Sandy soil is mainly recommended for potting soil. We can choose to use leaf mold, garden soil and river sand, and then mix them evenly in a ratio of 2:2:1. After the soil is mixed, it needs to be exposed to the sun for a while before use. When repotting, you can put gravel at the bottom of the pot.

two. Repotting:

Choose flower pots with good drainage, and first place stones that can filter water on the bottom. It is best to use a clay pot. If you don’t have that, choose a ceramic pot or a plastic pot.

three. illumination:

This plant likes to grow in a mild and dry environment and bright light. Although it can also grow in relatively dark places, this will reduce its growth rate, so we can increase the light appropriately. However, in terms of lighting, it is best to be able to provide scattered light. Be sure to shade it in the summer, and at other times just give it 3 to 5 hours of scattered light every day. This cultivation method is also conducive to the blooming of its flowers.

Four. temperature:

This plant is very cold-sensitive and can easily survive but can also easily die from freezing. So once the cold winter comes, you must pay attention to keeping warm. It will easily die if the temperature drops below five degrees. In the cold winter we can put it indoors and keep the temperature above 10 degrees.

five. Moisture:

This plant is accustomed to an environment without moisture, so we don't need to water it too frequently, otherwise the roots will rot. Especially in winter, reduce the frequency and amount of watering. It is recommended not to water in winter. If the temperature is higher than 15 degrees, we can wait until the mud layer is dry before watering.

six. fertilizer:

If you want it to bloom out of the pot, just add some thin fertilizer. Generally, during the peak growth seasons of spring and autumn, ordinary fertilizer should be added every two months.
