How do you grow orchids? These eight tips will help you grow orchids well

First trick, keep calm and have an ordinary mind.

For growing orchids, you should treat them with an ordinary mind, grow orchids with a calm heart, and believe in orchid fate. If you are destined to have them, even if you long for a good flower, you can have it; if not destined, even with countless wealth, you still cannot get it. Even if you rack your brains, or use despicable means to obtain it, it will still leave you with both people and money lost. At the same time, no matter how the orchid market is, calm down and grow your own orchids, because we cannot control the orchid market, nor can we change it. What we can control is the orchids in our own hands, and what we can change is our own temperament.

Second trick, open your eyes wide and introduce the right seedlings.

In today's developed internet age, orchid enthusiasts can introduce orchid seedlings through many channels, such as online auctions and buying at orchid markets. However, driven by greed, many orchid sellers take advantage of everyone's love for orchids, passing off virus-infected seedlings as variegated-leaf art, passing off inferior re-exported grass as original species, treating tech grass as wild-collected orchids, and even selling photos to cheat money without shipping, etc., defrauding people of their money and leaving orchid enthusiasts full of hope only to harvest disappointment. Therefore, I have always believed that for the orchids you want to introduce, you must introduce them from reliable orchid growers, or from online orchid merchants who are truly trustworthy, and it is best to buy after seeing the actual flower.

Third trick: pots and grass should match appropriately

For potting orchids, try to use a large pot for many plants and a small pot for few plants. Never use a large pot for few plants or a small pot for many plants, because after potting, if the grass and pot do not match, it will be difficult to figure out during usual watering and fertilizing, bringing certain difficulty to management.

Fourth trick: ventilation, light, warmth and moisture should suit orchid nature

Since ancient times, at least many orchid books say this, and of course, I also think so: ventilation is the first priority. Make sure the environment is ventilated and the growing medium is ventilated, letting orchid roots grow under semi-ventilated conditions, give orchids enough light for necessary photosynthesis, follow natural laws, and give orchids the necessary temperature difference. When it should be hot, let it be hot; when it should be cold, let it be cold; when vernalization is needed, carry out vernalization; when dormancy is needed, let it be dormant. As for humidity, try to keep it moist but not wet.

Fifth trick: look more, observe frequently, and handle less

In the usual management of orchids, especially for beginners, you must withstand the temptation of small shoots and flower buds. When small shoots and flower buds have not yet emerged, if you use your cute little hands to disturb them, then with one carelessness, you may make the about-to-emerge small shoots and flower buds disappear. Also, there is frequent repotting: today you see this growing medium is good, so you change to this one; tomorrow you see that growing medium is good, so you change to that one, tossing the orchids back and forth. Before the orchid roots have settled into the pot, they are disturbed again. It is estimated that if you can still grow orchids well this way, heaven must be helping you.

Sixth trick: act when it is time to act

When you see abnormal signs in orchids, you must act decisively. Cut away the diseased parts when they should be cut, separate when they should be separated, divide pots when they should be divided. Never take chances when there are signs of disease, otherwise the one who will regret it is yourself.

Seventh trick: make more orchid friends and study diligently

In your spare time, make orchid friends widely. You can communicate with orchid friends online and offline. For questions you do not understand, ask orchid friends without being ashamed to learn from those below you. At the same time, exchange your own orchid-growing insights with other orchid friends, take others' good experience in orchid cultivation, combine it with your own actual situation to make up for your shortcomings, and explore a set of orchid-growing methods suitable for your own orchid-growing environment, so that your orchids grow without scorched tips or scorched tails, produce many shoots, and bloom beautifully. Loved by all who see them.

Remember the above seven tricks, then adapt tricks with tricks, master them thoroughly, and achieve no trick surpassing all tricks.
