1. Maintenance methods1. Temperature: Orchids are suitable for a warm environment, and it is better to keep the temperature between 15 and 25 degrees. It does not tolerate high temperatures very well, so it is best not to keep the temperature above 35 degrees. Try to keep ventilation conditions good when the temperature is high. Furthermore, an environment that is too cold is not good either. The temperature can be around ten degrees during the winter. 2. Light: Orchids do not require much sunlight. A semi-shaded environment is more suitable for them. Too strong sunlight will burn their leaves and affect their flowering. Therefore, in spring and autumn, you can provide diffuse light; in summer, try to place it in a semi-shaded or cool place. In winter, there is basically no need for shade. 3. Watering: Orchids require a lot of water, so they must be watered when the substrate is semi-dry. It is best to water thoroughly, but not allow water to accumulate. In addition, the water used should be slightly acidic and not too dirty. 4. Fertilization: In order to promote the vigorous growth of orchids, fertilizer is very important. Generally, fertilizer is applied every ten days or so. In addition, basal fertilizer must be added when planting and repotting. 2. Breeding techniques1. Reproduction: You can use the division method. Before dividing the plants, water them moderately. Then remove the plant from the pot and divide it into several parts, each of which needs to have several false bulbs connected together. Then prepare different flower pots and plant them separately. 2. Pruning: After flowering, it is best to carry out appropriate repairs. When its last flower has been open for a week, cut it off three centimeters from the surface of the pot. Then comes the pruning of its leaves. Its leaves are generally dense, so cut off a part of them if they are too messy. Dry and old leaves should also be pruned in time. 3. Problem diagnosis and treatment1. Disease: The most common disease is called "soft rot", which is very difficult to prevent and control once it occurs. The infected area needs to be cleaned up in time and then sprayed with pesticide immediately. 2. Pests: Scale insects and so on are very common and can be controlled by spraying omethoate or other diazinons. It can also be prevented in advance by spraying two to four times a year. IV. Other issues1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic in itself and its smell is also non-toxic. 2. Can it be kept at home: Yes. Not only is it ornamental, but it also smells good. Some varieties have a light fragrance and are suitable for indoor placement. |
