A Beginner's Guide to Growing Orchids

1. Water

Before watering orchids, you should first observe the moisture of the soil. If it is too moist, you don't need to water it yet. It is best to keep it in a humid environment. When the temperature is low, you must pay attention to water control. Outdoors, it is usually watered once every 3 or 4 days, and indoors it can be watered once a week.

2. Fertilization

Fertilization should be done in the evening as much as possible, and some water should be applied the next day after watering to prevent the fertilizer from burning the roots of the plant. Do not apply concentrated fertilizer, but apply thin, low-concentration fertilizer.

3. Pruning

Orchids need to be pruned properly. When pruning, be sure to disinfect the scissors, because if they are not disinfected, bacteria will infect the plants. When pruning, it is best not to prune diseased leaves and healthy leaves at the same time. Prune the diseased leaves first, disinfect the scissors, and then prune dense branches and other healthy branches.

4. Lighting

During the maintenance period, there must be bright light. Orchids should not be grown in too dark a place, nor should they be exposed to direct sunlight. Generally, shade should be provided in late spring and summer, and the plants can be kept in the sun in winter.
