1. Soil: The planting soil can be a slightly acidic soil mixed with 8 parts of leaf mold and 2 parts of river sand, or 7 parts of leaf mold, 2 parts of perlite and 1 part of river sand, or you can use special orchid mud for planting.

2. Light: Orchids prefer a semi-shaded growing environment. In daily care, do not place the orchid in a place with strong light, try to place it in a place where it can receive scattered light. When the sunlight is strong, more than 50% of the light needs to be blocked.

The principle of watering is "water when the soil is dry and water thoroughly when watering."

It needs to be moved indoors in winter. The indoor temperature should be between 0-10 degrees, and the plant can survive the winter smoothly.

6. Pruning: Orchids need to be pruned frequently. Prune off some dead branches and leaves, as well as branches and leaves that are damaged by pests and diseases. This can not only make room for new branches to grow, but also prevent other healthy branches and leaves from being infected by pests and diseases.
