The orchid at home has not bloomed after 2 years. Pay attention to these 5 points and you don’t have to worry about it blooming!

Orchids are loved by many people because of their beauty, but perhaps "beauty" is "dangerous", and it is really difficult to see the wonderful sight of orchids blooming. Huahua thought she was doing her best in usual care, but the orchids at home didn't seem to appreciate it. Huahua had no choice but to consult a professional, only to find out that this is the only way to care for orchids!

1. Pay attention to light intensity

Orchids are very afraid of the sun, so when we take care of them, we should try to put them in a dark place and take shade measures in spring, summer and autumn to prevent the leaves from being burned by the sun. If the temperature is not too high in the morning, you can put the orchid outdoors for a while. This can enhance the intensity of its effect and also make it bloom faster!

2. Pay attention to the right amount of watering

There are many varieties of orchids. Before watering, it is best to understand the watering habits of different varieties. Generally, when watering orchids, try to keep the amount of water at a moderate level so that the soil in the pot is neither too dry nor too wet. In spring and autumn, it is sufficient to water the orchid once every three days. When the temperature rises in summer, it is the growing season for orchids and you need to water it twice a day. When watering, be careful to prevent water dripping onto the leaves and causing black rot. In winter, it is only necessary to water the orchid once a week because the orchid is in a dormant state at this time.

3. Pay attention to the intensity of fertilization

Orchids need to change the potting soil once a year during their growth period and apply fertilizer twice. The first time you need to implant fertilizer into the soil, generally a compound fertilizer containing nitrogen is selected. The second time you need to change to thin fertilizer water or foliar fertilizer. After fertilizing, the orchid will grow more vigorously and the flowering speed will naturally increase. In fact, if conditions permit, we can also spray some wood ash solution on the leaves for maintenance before the orchid blooms.

4. Pay attention to the appropriate temperature

Generally, the best growth temperature for orchids is between 15 and 20 degrees. Therefore, friends in the north need to keep their orchids warm in autumn and winter. As long as the indoor temperature in winter is not lower than 10 degrees, it will not cause harm to the orchid. When the Grain Rain season comes, the orchid can be moved outdoors for maintenance.

5. Pay attention to soil selection

The soil for growing orchids is generally based on humus soil, which contains a lot of nutrients and has good air permeability, so it is very conducive to the growth of orchids. If you can't find this kind of soil, you can also use your own artificial cultivation soil for maintenance.

Huahua believes that as long as you pay attention to the above 5 points and take good care of the orchid, you will be able to see the beautiful scene of the orchid blooming. If you have any other maintenance questions, you are welcome to leave a message to Huahua!
