Cultivation methods and precautions of Bletilla striata

1. Soil

Bletilla striata likes moist soil with strong air permeability. When cultivating it, flower lovers can prepare the soil in the order of broken tiles, garden soil, and river sand. This can ensure that the soil has good drainage and air permeability.

2. Lighting

A semi-shady environment is more suitable for its growth. When caring for it, you can place it in a cool place and let it see the sun for a while. But when the sun is too strong in the summer, try to keep it in a cooler place.

3. Watering

It prefers a humid living environment. Not only does the soil need to maintain a high humidity, but there must also be a certain amount of moisture in the air. During the growth period, watering can be more frequent, but care must be taken to avoid water accumulation, especially during the rainy season, and drainage must be paid special attention.

IV. Precautions

Bletilla striata is afraid of waterlogging, so you should pay special attention to the amount of water when caring for it. You can water it more often, but not too much water each time. If the soil is too wet, it will affect its growth. When planting, in order to ensure sufficient nutrients, it is best to add a small amount of base fertilizer when preparing the soil.
