If you water the orchid too much, you can pour out the accumulated water in the basin first, and then put it in a high place with natural ventilation to promote the evaporation of excess water. Or turn the soil gently, but don't hurt the roots. If the root has been rotten, it is necessary to remove the pot to cut off the rotten root, flower soil to be aired or replaced, after disinfection of the root system, it can be re-cultivated.

1. Training Requirements

1. Substrate requirements: Orchids are mainly divided into epiphytic orchids and terrestrial orchids.If the cultivated orchid is epiphytic orchid, it needs to use enough breathable and soft plant materials, which can be mixed with sphagnum moss, rotten bark, stones, ceramsite and so on.If you want to raise terrestrial orchids, you need to use thick and soft culture soil, which can be mixed with humus soil, peat soil, sand soil, garden soil and other soils.

2. Environmental requirements: Most of the orchids prefer a semi-shady and warm maintenance environment, and are not tolerant to extreme environments such as high heat, closed canopy, high cold, darkness and insolation.Therefore, when breeding, it is recommended to put it in a warm room with scattered light and keep it ventilated.

2. Key Points of Cultivation

1, watering: most of the orchids are more like wet.Therefore, when cultivating them, attention should be paid to timely water supply, so that their plant materials can not be completely wet.During the growing season, water every 2-3 days.During the winter, their growth rate will decrease, so they need to water less frequently, preferably every 10-15 days.If the temperature is very low, you can suspend watering.

2. Fertilization: They like fertilizer and need enough nutrients to grow well.Therefore, when cultivating, we should also pay attention to timely topdressing.In the growing season, the compound fertilizer with comprehensive nutrients should be applied 2-3 times a month.Near the flowering period, they should also be topdressed several times with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to stimulate bud development and help them blossom better.
