How to grow black orchid in winter

illumination

Compared with most orchids, Mo Lan has high requirements for light. If the lighting time is too short and there is not enough light, the Mo Lan will grow weakly and be easily affected by diseases. In winter, you should place the Mo Lan in the sun on a clear day with sufficient light. This can help the Mo Lan grow better and also help it bloom.

fertilizer

In winter, Mo Lan's absorption of nutrients is not very high, and the nutrients contained in the soil can play a certain role in supplementing it. At this time, we need to apply a small amount of fertilizer mixed with phosphorus and potassium to Mo Lan, dilute the fertilizer with water, and then irrigate it into the soil. This is what we often call top dressing. Sometimes rice water or egg residue can also be used as nutrients, which can also help it grow more safely in winter.

Moisture

In winter, the number of waterings for Mo Lan should be controlled to once a week, and the soil should be kept as dry as possible. Because the temperature is relatively low in winter, less water is conducive to better wintering. When watering in winter, it is usually done in the morning before the sun rises or just after it rises. At the same time, some water mist should be sprayed in the surrounding environment to increase the humidity.

temperature

In winter, the Mo Lan indoors should be placed in an environment with a temperature above 10 degrees to ensure that the plant is not frozen.
