How to grow lady's slipper orchids? Good temperature and watering management are key
Nowadays people's homes generally have balconies, and small apartments also have bay windows. With the improvement of rural life, whether in the city or the countryside, more and more people are caring for flowers and plants. The lady's slipper orchid (Cypripedium) has been a variety receiving relatively more attention in recent years. Although it is not as popular as green plants like pothos and lilies, its horticultural value cannot be ignored. In many regions of our country there are plant enthusiasts growing lady's slipper orchids. Today the editor will introduce the cultivation methods for lady's slipper orchids. <p style="text-align:center"></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><span style="color:#FF0000"><strong>Cultivation methods for lady's slipper orchids</strong></span></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><span style="color:#0000FF">1. Potting soil</span></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">Like most green plants, lady's slipper orchids are potted in spring or autumn each year, as these two seasons are more suitable for the growth of green plants. The editor suggests choosing unglazed clay pots, which are more practical; compared with plastic or glazed pots, unglazed clay pots have stronger breathability, allowing lady's slipper orchids to better absorb air and nutrients. As for the soil, it is best to use soil collected from their native habitat, or you can use a potting mix made of 0.5 part coarse sand, 1 part humus soil, 0.5 part perlite and 1 part peat soil.</p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><span style="color:#0000FF">2. Potting up</span></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">Before potting up a lady's slipper orchid, first cut off the old, withered leaves beside the new shoots, and remove the blackened, rotting roots. Then place the orchid plant with all its roots flat on a surface covered with about 1/4 base soil, and evenly fill the pot with the soil until the root system is completely buried, with only the new shoots protruding. Finally, cover the pot surface with water-soaked white moss, and water thoroughly to finish.</p> <p style="text-align:center"></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><span style="color:#0000FF">3. Watering</span></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">Watering is the key to growing lady's slipper orchids, and everyone must master the amount and frequency of watering well. Generally, during the peak growing season, if lady's slipper orchids lack water in early summer, it is very likely to cause signs of slow or halted growth. The editor suggests watering the soil thoroughly each time, but not letting it overflow. After watering, you can appropriately place some hard, drainage-friendly potting material, which can help lady's slipper orchids absorb.</p> <p style="text-indent:2em;"><span style="color:#0000FF">4. Temperature</span></p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">The usual temperature for lady's slipper orchids can generally be kept below 20 degrees; too high a temperature makes them hard to endure, so everyone needs to find ways to cool things down. If cultivating in most areas of southern or northern China, unless there is a cooled greenhouse in summer, successful cultivation is impossible, let alone flowering. As for light, lady's slipper orchids prefer overcast days; strong light exposure will make their leaves turn yellow and wither. If you decide to grow lady's slipper orchids, try to find a spot where you can provide shade.</p> <p style="text-indent:2em;">That is all that Tuliu.com has to introduce today about the cultivation methods for lady's slipper orchids. Growing lady's slipper orchids is actually not difficult; you just need to pay more attention to daily temperature and watering issues.</p>
