How to grow purple orchid

Temperature requirements

The suitable temperature for breeding it is between 18 and 25 degrees. But in winter, the temperature should be controlled between 10 and 12 degrees, which is good for its dormancy. If the temperature drops below 5 degrees, frost damage will occur.

Water requirements

Water less. The potting soil should be kept at 50% dry, not too dry or too wet. Reference watering interval: water once every 10 to 15 days. But you must water enough each time, and do not water half and leave the other half. At the same time, it is most afraid of stagnant water.

Necessary pruning

If you find diseased, pest-infested, or thin branches, you should cut them off. At the same time, clean up the fallen leaves in time. If pruning is not done in time, large areas of leaves will turn yellow and even fall off.

Sunlight needs

Although it likes sunlight, too strong light can also hurt it. So try to block out the midday sun.

Nutrient requirements

Fertilize once a month. It is best to choose diluted flower fertilizer. Be sure to adjust the concentration of the fertilizer, and even increase the number of fertilizations. Never make the fertilizer too concentrated. This is conducive to the formation of flower buds and flowering.

Time of reproduction

If you want to use the division method, you can choose to do it between February and March, which is also the time to change the pot. If you use the sowing method, you can choose to do it between June and July. This method will take about 3 to 4 years for the plant to bloom.
