How do you care for potted orchids? Learn how to grow orchids well indoors

Nowadays people pay more and more attention to the quality and enjoyment of life, and many like to keep a few small flowers at home for viewing. Many flower-growing enthusiasts love the fresh and elegant character of orchids, so they inevitably keep a few pots. But many companions, often because they do not understand the growing habits of orchids, end up with orchids bought at a high price that mysteriously die after just a few days. To grow orchids well, you also need to know a few little tips.

Environment

Among the many potted flowers, orchids are relatively delicate, and this shows not only in their price but also in their requirements for the environment. Orchids suit half-sun, half-shade light conditions, and the growing soil needs to be moist and airy. Never put the pot on a balcony or outdoors in blazing sun, and do not leave it for a long time in a sealed, unventilated room.

Growing materials

In terms of classification, orchids are aerial-root plants, so when choosing growing containers it is best to use a pot with good breathability, such as a clay pot, which is fine. As for the choice of soil, according to the sharing of experienced people, orchids like slightly acidic soil, so when planting you need to pay attention to the pH value of the soil used. Pay attention to these two points, and growing orchids well becomes much simpler.

Watering

Orchids also have requirements for the water used on them. The editor said earlier that orchids like a moist soil environment, but that does not mean you can water them a lot. When watering, it is best to spray from the leaves down to the roots and stems, using the moisture level of the soil surface as the standard, and never let the pot sit in water for a long time, as it can easily die. In addition, many companions like to use tap water directly to water flowers; tap water used for orchids is best left on the balcony in the sun for three days before use.

Fertilizing

I believe companions who often grow flowers know that for flowers there are two kinds of fertilizer: base fertilizer and top dressing. Base fertilizer is very important for growing orchids, mainly applied when loosening or renewing the soil in the pot, but never let the flower fertilizer touch the roots directly, as this can easily burn the roots and cause death. Top dressing means occasionally adding foliar fertilizer to the pot during the orchid's growing period. Overall, the rule for fertilizing orchids is small amounts, applied frequently.

Well, these are the few little tips the editor has summarized today for growing orchids well. I wonder whether you companions have grasped the key points? Actually, growing flowers is the same as life: it needs us to care for and look after them with our hearts, to plant them seriously, and to master their habits, and then the fragrance of orchids will surely fill the room.
