How to deal with Oncidium after flowering and how to prune it

1. How to deal with Oncidium after it blooms

1. Pruning: After the Oncidium blooms, some residual flowers will remain on the plant. Although they have already withered, they have not fallen off in time and will still absorb nutrients from the plant. At this time, pruning should be carried out in time to cut off all the remaining flowers to save nutrients for the plant. In addition, if there are residual yellow leaves and dead branches on the plant, you can cut them off together.

2. Apply more flower fertilizer: Oncidium needs more nutrient support to bloom. After flowering, a lot of nutrients in its body will be consumed. At this time, you need to add some fertilizer to supplement nutrients. It is recommended to use low-concentration liquid fertilizer because most liquid fertilizers are more effective than solid fertilizers, allowing plants to absorb nutrients faster and resume growth.

2. How to prune Oncidium

In addition to the post-flowering pruning mentioned above, Oncidium also needs to be pruned during the growing season and after repotting. During the growing season, it is mainly necessary to prune off the poorly growing branches and leaves on the plant, such as yellowing leaves, dry branches, overgrown branches, etc., to keep the plant in a good growth state. After repotting, you mainly need to trim off the blackened and rotten parts of the plant's roots to encourage better growth.
