Cultivation methods and precautions of orchid grass

1. Lighting

It can be placed outdoors in spring, summer and autumn to receive sufficient sunlight. Don't make it too dark, otherwise it will affect its growth and hinder flowering. In winter, it is usually kept indoors, and a location with good lighting should also be chosen. In addition, you should also pay attention to the uniformity of light. You can rotate the position of the orchid appropriately so that it can receive light evenly in all directions, otherwise the plant will tilt due to its phototropism.

2. Soil

Choose soil that is breathable, permeable and fertile. Specifically, it can be prepared with peat soil, garden soil and moss. You can leave a few more holes at the bottom of the pot for drainage.

3. Watering

When the soil is about to dry out, water it promptly. However, the amount must be controlled and water should not accumulate in any season. Orchids require relatively more water in summer and need to be watered twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Water less in winter and just add water appropriately. It is best to use rainwater or spring water, and tap water should be exposed to the sun before use.

4. Fertilization

Don't fertilize too often. Drinking bean cake water once every half a month can basically meet the requirements. In addition, potassium dihydrogen phosphate needs to be used once every month. It is best not to apply it in summer.

5. Pruning

The main task is to cut off the dry branches and leaves. This can not only promote the growth of new branches, but also enhance the ventilation and light permeability of the plant.
