How to care for the newly bought ball orchid

1. Inspection

Due to factors such as transportation and handling, the plant may be damaged to a certain extent in the process, so you should first check the plant to see if its root system is damaged. If any problems are found, they must be resolved in a timely manner, which will help the normal growth of the ball orchid in the later stage.

2. Lighting

After buying it home, do not expose the Hoya to too much light. First keep it in a cool and shaded place for a period of time to allow it to slowly adapt to the new environment. During this period, do not expose the plant to direct sunlight as it may be sunburned. After it adapts to the environment, slowly increase the light intensity.

3. Ventilation

It is necessary to strengthen the ventilation of the environment around the newly purchased Hoya, because its body is relatively fragile at present. If the surrounding environment is not ventilated and the air is not flowing smoothly, some diseases are very likely to occur. Therefore, ventilation should be strengthened to prevent the occurrence of diseases.

4. Watering

Since it has not yet adapted to the new environment, the growth and development of the ball orchid is slow and its demand for water is not strong, so it needs to be watered according to the dryness of the soil. Wait until the soil is dry before watering again, and just keep the soil moist.
