How to grow Jianlan in winter? What are the suitable temperature and humidity?

1. Temperature

After winter comes, when the temperature reaches two or three degrees, it is necessary to move it indoors for maintenance in time. The minimum indoor temperature cannot be lower than three degrees. It is easy to suffer frost damage in temperatures below zero. The temperature should be kept at around 15 degrees. In addition, before moving indoors, you must deworm and eliminate insect eggs to reduce insect infestation next year.

2. Humidity

In winter it goes dormant and stops growing. There is no need to water frequently during this period, just keep the soil in the pot a little moist. If it is maintained in a closed room, you should often spray water all around to ensure a certain air humidity, preferably between 65% and 70%. This will not only help it survive the winter, but also be more beneficial for later growth.

3. Lighting

The temperature is low in winter and the light is very mild. You can place it in a place with good light. It can receive full sunlight in this season, which will be more conducive to germination, enhance its resistance, and enable it to survive the winter more safely.

4. Soil

It has poor cold resistance, which is a common problem for all orchids, so you must keep warm in winter. The soil should be fertile and breathable. You can put burnt straw ash or peanut shells in it, which not only keeps you warm but is also nutritious.
