How to grow black orchid in winter

1. Lighting

Mo Lan has high requirements for light, so it is best to grow it in a sunny place. If the plant does not receive enough sunlight, it will become weak and prone to disease and failure to grow normally. In winter, you must put it in a sunny environment for a long time to help it grow and bloom better.

2. Temperature

It likes a high temperature environment, and the temperature in winter should be maintained above 10 degrees to prevent freezing. It can be placed in a warm indoor place such as a balcony so that it can safely spend the winter. It is best to place it in an environment with good air circulation in winter, but not too stuffy.

3. Watering

It has relatively high requirements for water and can be watered once a week, usually better when the sun is not out. It prefers slightly drier potting soil. In winter, you should control watering or not water it at all, and keep the soil in the pot relatively dry. Do not overwater to prevent water accumulation and prevent it from growing normally.

4. Fertilization

It does not have very high requirements for fertilizer. Usually, a small amount of fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium can be added to the soil. Note that it is better to use diluted fertilizer water. In the later stage, you can use some decomposed rice water or other nutrient solution to help it grow better.
