How to Make Orchids Bloom More Fragrant

Lighting requirements

Orchids prefer partial shade, but cannot be placed in dark and lightless places. Otherwise, since it cannot receive light for photosynthesis for a long time, it will grow poorly and will not be fragrant even if it blooms.

Therefore, it should be placed in a place with strong light but shade. In winter, it should be placed in sufficient sunlight, and the pot should be rotated once every half a month so that it can receive light from all sides.

Temperature requirements

Orchids have poor cold resistance.

The temperature of Chunlan and Huilan should be above 3℃, and that of Jianlan and Hanlan should be above 10℃. Otherwise, they will be easily frozen, affecting their flowering, or they may bloom but the nectar will freeze and fail to release fragrance.

Fertilization requirements

Except during extreme heat, severe winter, and before and after flowering, a dilute liquid fertilizer mainly containing phosphorus should be applied every half month.

Orchids should also be repotted in a timely manner to keep the soil fertile and provide natural humus nutrients.

Other small details

Care should be taken to isolate different varieties and not plant them together or store them together. They should also be kept away from toilets and kitchens where contamination is more likely.

In addition, attention should be paid to the prevention and timely treatment of diseases and insect pests, otherwise the orchid will be seriously injured and unable to accumulate nutrients for honey production.
