How to grow ball orchid quickly

Water and nutrient control

Keep the soil slightly moist at all times and avoid water accumulation. This will prevent damage to its root system and allow it to absorb water and nutrients at all times.

During daily cultivation, the environment must not be too dry, as this will affect the growth of the leaves, make the leaves lose their ornamental beauty, and prevent flower buds from forming. Even if flower buds are formed, the flowers may not open normally, or the opening time may be reduced.

The temperature is high all day in summer, and the daytime temperature in autumn is not low either. At this time, you should increase the amount of watering. If the soil surface is dry, you should water it. You should also spray water on the air and leaves frequently. This can both cool down the soil and keep it moist. This is very beneficial for growth.

Do not use a large amount of fertilizer to stimulate its growth. Its demand for fertilizer is not very high, and it is better to use a light fertilizer rather than a heavy fertilizer. During its growing period, it only needs to be fertilized 1 to 2 times a month. Applying more than that will have the opposite effect.

Sunlight and temperature control

It does not like to live in direct sunlight, so it can be grown in a semi-shaded place, especially in summer. However, if it lives in a dark environment for a long time, its growth rate will be seriously affected.

The most suitable growth temperature for it is 15 to 28 degrees, but if it can be maintained between 20 to 25 degrees, its growth will be accelerated.
