How to care for the newly bought wine bottle orchid

1. Fertilization

Don't fertilize the bottle orchid when you just bring it home, because it is now in the adaptation stage and fertilization will not promote its growth and may even damage its roots. After it adapts to the new environment and resumes normal growth, apply compound fertilizer once every 2-3 weeks.

2. Watering

Bottle orchids are particularly drought-resistant and have little demand for water. Don't rush to water them after you buy them home. Wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. At the same time, you should also pay attention to not over-watering. Just enough to make the soil moist. The bottle orchid has fleshy roots and will easily die from waterlogging if watered too much.

3. Temperature

After you buy a new bottle orchid home, it is best to control the temperature between 20-22 degrees, which is the most suitable temperature for the growth of bottle orchid and allows it to adapt to the new environment faster. After adapting to the new environment, as long as the temperature is not lower than 5 degrees, it will not affect its growth.

4. Lighting

The newly bought bottle orchid can be placed in a location where it can receive soft light, which is conducive to its growth. If there is insufficient light, its growth will be damaged. During the period of exposure to light, be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight, and also provide appropriate shade.
