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.
