Spray orchids with this kind of water, and four or five side shoots will emerge, shooting up spikes and blooming abundantly
Generally, repotting orchids is done in the early stage of orchid growth, that is, in spring, when growth is just about to begin, repotting is best. At this time, the roots recover quickly after repotting, and during growth it helps them absorb nutrients and water, so they grow relatively fast.
If it is an orchid that has grown for many years, with many side shoots produced by division, and the side shoots have grown main roots, then you can take this opportunity to divide the orchid, cutting the main roots from the connection point and planting them separately. With good care, it is quite normal for one orchid to produce four or five divisions in a year.
Of course, greenhouses that specialize in growing orchids will have even more small plantlets produced by division, because in greenhouses the fertilizer and water are abundant and the environment is suitable, so more small plantlets will be produced by division.
For the soil used for orchids, we should use loose, breathable soil, preferably mostly granular soil. Orchid roots are relatively thick water roots, and watering should be sufficient. Only when the potting soil is loose and breathable will more watering not cause root rot.
The growing environment for orchids requires a relatively humid environment. Usually we should spray water around the orchids more often to increase air humidity.
During the orchid's growing period, give sufficient light. In summer, provide shade and do not expose them to the blazing sun.
During the growing period, fertilizer and water must be sufficient. Apply a multi-element organic fertilizer once or twice a month. Be sure to apply thin fertilizer frequently, and only then will the orchids grow vigorously. During the orchid's bud stage, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once or twice, which helps spikes emerge quickly and bloom more.
Master these few points, and growing orchids well is also very easy.
