Cultivation methods and precautions of yellow orchid

1. Lighting

It is a sun-loving plant and is very light-loving. When caring for it, try to expose it to as much sunlight as possible, especially in spring and autumn. The light is mild and should receive full light. However, it is afraid of strong light, so shade should be provided in time in summer, otherwise the leaves will easily be burned by strong light.

2. Watering

When maintaining and managing the soil, water the soil only when it is dry and only when it is wet. That is, do not water if the soil is not dry, and water thoroughly when you do water. Do not allow water to accumulate in the soil to prevent root rot. Keep it moist in spring and autumn, and increase the amount of water in summer. After the temperature drops in winter, you need to control the water. Keeping it slightly dry is better for wintering.

3. Fertilization

During the growth period, it is necessary to apply fertilizer frequently and replenish nutrients, because more nutrients are consumed during the growing season. Fertilization should be applied every two weeks and the fertilizer should be diluted first. If the concentration is too high, it will burn the roots and affect growth.

4. Temperature

Pay attention to the temperature during maintenance. Although it is cold-resistant, it can bloom early if the environment is warm. It can withstand temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius, so there is no need to worry too much in winter. During the hot summer months, you should sprinkle more water to cool it down and keep the temperature within a more suitable range.

5. Notes

In addition to providing a more suitable environment and methods during maintenance and management, attention should also be paid to timely pruning. Prune after each bloom and at bud break. Because it has poor self-healing ability, you should prune it gently, just cutting off the overly long branches and dead flowers after blooming.
