How to pot bamboo orchid

1. Choose a pot

You can choose a clay pot with a small hole diameter but sufficient depth and a relatively large hole at the bottom. Of course, this is only for newly planted seedlings. After two or three years, you must replace it with a purple clay pot or a porcelain pot.

2. Soil

Bamboo leaf orchid is not very demanding on the soil and can be planted in general soil, but it grows better in loose and fertile loam or sandy soil. If it is cultivated in a potted plant, it is recommended to use sandy soil containing a lot of humus or to plant it. The drainage must be good.

3. Temperature

Bamboo orchid likes a warm climate and humid air environment. It does not like direct sunlight, but it cannot stand darkness. If it is cultivated in a potted plant, it is important to maintain the temperature between 15 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius, which is most suitable for the growth of bamboo orchid. If the temperature is higher than 35 degrees Celsius, its growth will be stunted. However, the temperature is not good too low. When the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, it will also affect its growth ability and the bamboo orchid will stop growing. If the temperature is too high and the sun is too strong, its leaves will be sunburned and become scorched in a day or two. Special attention should be paid in the summer, and work must be done to cool down and provide shade. If the temperature is too low in winter, it must be brought indoors in time, otherwise it will be frostbitten.

4. Water

When you first start planting bamboo orchid, you need to water it thoroughly, generally once in the morning and once in the evening. In the later stage, generally do not water it unless the soil is dry, and keep the soil moist and dry. During the vigorous growth period of bamboo orchid, especially in summer, it is necessary to ensure sufficient watering, otherwise it will lead to poor growth. You can choose to spray water when watering, which can not only increase the humidity of the air around the bamboo orchid, but also ensure that the leaves of the bamboo orchid are clean and shiny. When watering in winter, be careful that the water temperature cannot be lower than 15 degrees Celsius to prevent the bamboo orchid from being frostbitten.

5. Fertilization

When fertilizing bamboo orchid, you need to pay attention to the amount applied each time. The concentration should not be too high, and the frequency can be slightly higher. When applying fertilizer, you can choose farmyard manure, which is the best organic fertilizer. This fertilizer should be applied along the edge of the flowerpot and should not touch its roots and leaves.
