Cultivation method of potted orchid

Cultivation method of potted orchid

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Between 15 and 30 degrees is more favorable for its growth. However, both too hot and too cold should be avoided. Generally speaking, high temperatures above 35 degrees will cause its leaves to dry out easily. If the temperature is below five degrees, it will be susceptible to frost damage.

2. Light: The pot orchid is a shade-loving plant and is particularly afraid of strong direct sunlight. However, it is best not to have no light at all during the growth period. It can be placed in a semi-shaded place, shaded in summer, and kept in a cool place as much as possible. Otherwise, its leaves may get burned easily. However, if you keep it indoors, there will generally be no problem.

3. Watering: Orchids in pots like moisture and are afraid of dryness. Therefore, in seasons when evaporation is very fast, in addition to ensuring adequate water supply, water spraying is also necessary.

4. Fertilization: Generally speaking, various types of farmyard manure can be used. It is best to dilute with water before use. Just apply it once every ten days or so. In addition, attention should also be paid to comprehensive nutrition.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by division. Spring and autumn are the most suitable seasons. Generally speaking, a relatively strong plant can be propagated by division once every three years or so. Choose an area where the pseudobulbs are densely packed and divide it into several parts, each of which should have at least five pseudobulbs. After the plant is divided and potted, it needs to be placed in a cooler place. After about ten days to half a month, it will be able to adapt.

2. Pruning: It is best to prune during the growing period and after the flowering period. During the growing period, the main task is to prune some of its dry and dense branches to prevent them from consuming too much nutrients. After the flowering period, the main task is to prune the withered flowers.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: There is "white rot", which is very easy to occur during the rainy season and will cause root and stem rot. It can be controlled by using lime and other methods, and more ventilation and water control are required.

2. Pests: The main one is "orchid lice". They reproduce very quickly in a high temperature environment, and the damage they cause is correspondingly large. They can be controlled with omethoate or they can be brushed off manually.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic and harmless.

2. Can it be raised at home?: It has good ornamental value and can be placed at home.
