Cultivation methods and precautions of heart-leaf ball orchid

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: I prefer soil with better drainage, more fertility and better air permeability to prevent water accumulation in the pot from affecting the growth of the plant.

2. Temperature: The most suitable temperature for plant growth is between 18 and 28 degrees. The minimum temperature for wintering must be above 7 degrees. Cold damage is very likely to occur below this temperature.

3. Watering: Pay attention to observe the soil when watering. Water it a second time when the soil is completely dry after watering once. You can use your hands to touch the soil to determine how dry or wet it is.

4. Light: The plant’s requirements for light are not very strict. Strong sunlight should not be directly shone on the plant. Scattered light is more suitable for the plant’s growth.

5. Fertilization: It is best to apply compound fertilizer once or twice a month during the growing period. The fertilizer should not be too concentrated. You can choose those containing more phosphorus and nitrogen.

2. Precautions

The plant should be pruned every two months or so, and all dead branches, underdeveloped and diseased branches should be pruned away.
