Cultivation methods and precautions of mountain orchid

1. Maintenance methods

1. Soil: Mountain orchid is drought-resistant and moisture-resistant, and the selection of soil is not strict. Generally, sandy soil can be used for planting.

2. Water: It likes moist soil, but does not like waterlogging. Generally, it is recommended to wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. On rainy days, it should be moved indoors in time to avoid water accumulation, as water accumulation will cause the roots of the mountain sedge to rot.

3. Nutrients: Apply some organic fertilizer after planting and dissolve it in water. When watering, water the soil of the mountain lily. This can promote the absorption of nutrients by the mountain lily and be more conducive to its growth needs.

4. Light: It likes places with plenty of light, but does not like strong light, especially in summer, which will cause sunburn, so it is necessary to pay attention to shade.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Pruning: When the stems and leaves turn yellow, they should be pruned cleanly. And the pruned stems and leaves should be burned to prevent the pathogens and pests contained in the stems and leaves from affecting the growth of other stems and leaves.

2. Reproduction: Mountain orchid is generally propagated by division. Select a strong mountain orchid, divide it into plants one by one, and insert it into the soil. Then use a spray bottle to spray some water to moisten the soil. It will grow vigorously in about two to three days.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Wilting leaves: When the leaves of the mountain lily begin to wilt and turn yellow, you need to turn the soil more often to prevent the soil from becoming compacted. Dilute some liquid fertilizer and let it fully enjoy the sunlight.

2. Root rot: When watering, be careful to avoid water accumulation in the pot. Long-term accumulation of water in the pot will cause the roots of the mountain orchid to rot. When the roots are rotten, they should be pruned immediately and the soil should be replaced with new one.

IV. Other issues

1. How to spend the winter: In winter, the plant should be moved indoors and the temperature should be maintained above five degrees Celsius. It should also be planted in a sunny and ventilated place.

2. Can it be placed indoors: It can be grown indoors. The berries of the mountain orchid are spherical in shape and purple-blue in color. When fully ripe, they resemble sapphires and have very good ornamental value.
