Tiger tail orchid is happy with sunshine, so it should be exposed to more sunlight. However, too strong light will make its leaves dark and white, so it needs to be shaded in summer when the light is strong. A well ventilated and bright environment can not only keep it in good condition, but also help it bloom.
Garden soil, saprophytic soil and river sand can be used to prepare its soil in the proportion of 5:3:2. In addition, a small amount of bone meal can be added to it as base fertilizer to improve the fertility of the soil.
It is suitable to grow at 16-30 ℃, and it will stop growing at 13 ℃. At this time, we should mainly keep warm and not put it outside for maintenance. Below 5 ℃, it will freeze. In winter, it can be placed in the sun to increase the temperature around the plant. Keep the temperature above 10 degrees, you can make it through the winter smoothly.
The basin soil should be kept moist in spring and summer, but there should be no ponding. It can only be watered after autumn and winter are completely dry. The best way to water is rainwater, river water and well water. Tap water should be exposed to the sun for two days before use. The principle of watering is "better dry than wet", do not water in rainy days, cut off water below 5 ℃ in winter, and resume watering after the basin soil is dry for several days. The leaves can be washed with water everyday to keep the plants beautiful and grow better.
It is usually fertilized with compound fertilizer. In addition, 3 holes of cooked soybeans can be evenly buried in the soil near the basin, 6-9 seeds can be buried in each hole as fertilizer. Never let the fertilizer touch its root system, otherwise it will burn the root easily. At the stage of pregnancy, appropriate P and K fertilizer can be applied to promote the flowering of pregnancy buds. Fertilization is not suitable in winter.
