How to grow crane orchid

1. Suitable soil

The soil for planting is very important. It is best to have good air permeability and drainage, which is conducive to growth. You can use a mixture of leaf mold, mountain soil, and river sand, or use garden soil on a daily basis, and change the pot once every spring. Do not choose one that is too hard, otherwise it may cause its roots to rot.

2. Supplement of light

Its native habitat is relatively shady and humid, and it likes to grow in semi-shade, so it does not need too much sunlight, just 2-3 hours a day. There can be more light in spring and autumn, but in summer it is best to only expose it to the sun for a while in the morning and avoid noon. If it is cultivated outdoors, attention should be paid to the issue of shading.

3. Apply fertilizer

It has a high demand for fertilizer and needs to be provided with sufficient fertilizer to meet its growth. If the soil is too poor, it will hinder its growth. Fertilize every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to ensure flowering.

4. Wintering Temperature

It is relatively cold-resistant and will not be harmed by frost as long as the indoor temperature is kept above 10 degrees. If it is accidentally frozen, you can cut off the leaves.
