Orchid leaves are beautiful in shape, so if the pot feels too crowded, repot and divide the plant

If the pot feels too crowded, just repot and divide it; this Dayipin is quite easy to grow

Autumn is the key period for orchids to develop flower buds, and how well the buds grow affects whether the orchid will bloom and set seed. Orchids like places with air circulation; if the temperature at home is too high or it is stuffy and hot, the orchid leaves will turn yellow.

Orchid buds need more exposure to sunlight; only in an environment with sufficient photosynthesis can they grow healthily and improve the plant's disease resistance. But when the midday sun is harsh, shade appropriately and do not expose them to blazing sun, so as not to scorch the orchid buds. Overwatering is the reason many flower lovers' orchids die. There is no fixed watering schedule for plants; it needs to be adjusted flexibly according to the environment and the plant's growth condition. How well an orchid pot ventilates and breathes directly affects how well the orchid grows. Generally speaking, clay pots have the best ventilation and breathability, purple sand pots are next, and porcelain pots are the worst. No matter what kind of pot is used to grow orchids, the bottom of the pot must be filled with relatively coarse material to ensure ventilation and breathability.

During summer care, if we do not do the ventilation work for it, the orchid is very likely to break out with stem rot, black spot disease and other symptoms. Besides paying attention to ventilation and air movement during care, we can also use an electric fan to increase some sense of air circulation around it.

Some people punch holes in plastic drink bottles and place them at the bottom of the pot to make breathable drainage covers, adding bricks around them to solve the ventilation and breathability problem. The bricks' good water-absorbing and moisture-retaining properties can be used to keep the bottom of the pot moist but not dry.
