How to prune bottle orchids so that they look good!

Timely pruning

In winter, the bottle orchid will enter a dormant or semi-dormant state, and its growth is slow at this time. In order not to affect its normal survival, its underdeveloped, thin and yellow, too dense or invaded by pests and diseases should be removed in time to ensure its smooth wintering. At this time, you can also adjust the branches by combining the cutting method.

Proper pruning method

Since the bottle orchid grows from the bottom up, it should be cultivated from the bottom up. First, tear off the bottom leaves, and then break off the bad leaves layer by layer according to their growth conditions. This will help the trimmed bottle orchid to thrive and ensure the overall aesthetics.

Suitable living conditions after pruning

Pruning of bottle orchids is usually carried out during the winter dormancy period. At this time, after pruning, it should be provided with a suitable living environment to ensure healthy growth after pruning. It should be placed in a place with sufficient sunlight, stop fertilizing and watering, and check the plant in time for diseases and pests to prevent and control them.

In summary, when pruning the bottle orchid in winter, the leaves that are not growing well should be removed in time, and they should be broken off from the bottom to the top. After pruning, it is necessary to provide it with a suitable growth space to ensure the light, temperature, and water requirements for its normal survival, so as to ensure that the pruned bottle orchid can grow more beautifully and more vigorously, and bring a unique scenery to our lives with its unique appearance!
