How to grow orchids so that they bloom and are more fragrant?

1. Soil suitability

When caring for orchids, it is best to use loam that contains humus, is fertile, breathable and slightly acidic. You can prepare it yourself or buy it at a flower shop. As long as the soil is suitable, it will be more conducive to growth and can produce larger and more fragrant flowers.

2. Fertilizer at the right time

Orchids are fertilizer-loving plants. When planting, you should add an appropriate amount of fertilizer to the soil as base fertilizer. Fertilizer should also be applied during the growth period, once a month, and the amount of fertilizer should not be too large. In addition, spray wood ash water on the leaves about two or three times before and during flowering, so that its roots, stems and flowers can develop better.

3. Water appropriately

When maintaining the plant, change the watering frequency according to different seasons. During the spring growing season, water should be poured every two or three days. In the summer, water evaporates quickly, so water should be poured every day. In winter, the amount and frequency should be reduced to once a week. There should be no accumulation of water in the potting soil, and it is best not to water the leaves to avoid leaving spots and affecting the appearance.

4. Suitable temperature

It is a plant that is neither cold-tolerant nor heat-tolerant, so pay attention to the temperatures in winter and summer. In winter, it should be moved indoors in time for maintenance. The temperature should not be lower than 3 degrees, and insulation measures should be taken. In summer, provide shade to avoid the heat. When the temperature is too high, sprinkle more water to cool it down and ensure humidity so that it can grow better.
