Orchids have long been renowned in China. The orchid is a precious, magical herbaceous plant. Since ancient times, people have regarded the orchid as a symbol of nobility, elegance and unwavering fidelity. It is also one of the flowers that flower lovers often grow.

Orchid growth habits

Likes shade, fears direct sunlight; likes moisture, avoids dryness; likes fertility, rich in lots of humus; suits an environment with air circulation, and it is forbidden to use ordinary mud, soil or flame stone to grow orchids.

Traditional orchid growing media are generally based mainly on humus soil, with some using sand, and others using small stones. But everyone knows orchids are a bit delicate, and to grow orchids well, the choice of soil is very important. The potting soil for orchids should be on the dry side and breathable. For growing orchids on a balcony, 50% decomposed sawdust or sawdust discarded from edible mushroom production plus 50% loam is best. This kind of soil has many gaps, good breathability and smooth drainage, so roots will not rot. At the same time it also has a certain water-retention capacity, providing favorable conditions for orchid growth.

Watering time for potted orchids

Generally speaking, in hotter seasons, such as summer, it is best to water potted orchids in the morning and evening. Never water at noon. The ancients said: "Understanding orchid growing takes one hint, but watering takes three years of skill." These words still make a lot of sense.

For orchids with fleshy aerial roots, more ventilation is best; the gentle breeze coming slowly is absolutely their favorite. Even if home orchid growing cannot achieve this, there must still be circulating air.

Master these tips above, and it should be said that growing orchids well is a very easy thing. Hurry and check whether your own care methods have any deviations.
