Culture Methods of Taitung Sakya

When raising orchids, it is best to decide the frequency of watering according to the season. Specifically, it can be watered every 2-3 days in spring, 1-2 times a day in summer, every 3-4 days in autumn and every 10-15 days in winter. When it rains, you can stop watering once. If the drainage capacity of the plant material is very strong, the frequency of watering can be slightly increased, otherwise, the frequency of watering can be slightly reduced.

1. Soil

When planting it, it is best to use soil with strong water retention, which is not very strict with soil quality.It is possible to use acidic high-quality sandy loam or sandy nutrient soil for planting.

2. Temperature

It belongs to tropical crops, and the temperature should be controlled at about 28 during the growth period, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 18 .Low temperature will cause it to stop growing and developing, and there will be defoliation problems.Winter is best spent indoors or in a greenhouse.

3. Watering

The Taitung Buddha should be watered more during the vigorous growth period to ensure that there is water every day.However, do not produce water accumulation phenomenon, to avoid the occurrence of root rot.Watering once a day is enough, and watering frequency should be reduced appropriately in winter.

4. Fertilization

It is better to fertilize once every half month, using decomposed organic fertilizer, supplemented by calcium superphosphate and potassium sulfate, etc., to promote plant growth.After winter pruning, thick fertilizer should be planted to promote the growth of tree vigor and the formation of tree crown in the second year.

5. Precautions

1. Pollination: The results of the Taitung Buddha by the climate humidity and insect impact is relatively large, to artificial pollination in the flowering period, to improve the rate of fruit.

2. Pruning: Pruning can be carried out after fruiting, to cultivate strong tree vigor and good tree shape, to avoid the plant growing too tall.
