Orchids suffer severely in summer; when caring for them in early autumn, a few points to note, and once they bloom their fragrance carries ten li
Today I'm here again to introduce a potted plant to everyone. Today's topic is a very common potted plant in the home, one that people both love and hate, and that is the orchid! Many people love growing orchids, because the orchid is a potted plant with a truly elegant air. When it isn't blooming, some people say it's just a pot of chives, and that really is quite an apt description, but once it blooms you'll love it so much you can't stop! Why do we say orchids make people both love and hate them? Orchids are actually quite difficult to care for, especially for friends with no experience growing orchids. Orchids you grow can easily get withered leaves, yellow leaves, root rot, and so on and so on - truly a headache. Today I'll tell you a few small points to note, so your orchids will at least look better than other people's, hehe!
Orchids' natural enemy, summer, has already passed, and now we've entered early autumn. Early autumn is the time when orchids sprout flower buds. How do you get your orchids to bloom more? First, you need to keep the orchid's soil moist, because the orchid is a plant that likes moisture. How do you keep the soil moist? Pay attention to observing the orchid's pot base. When there is no standing water in the pot base and the surface is dry but not parched, you can water. When watering, it's best to use a spray, so the soil all comes into contact with the water.
Friends who grow orchids all know that orchids have a dedicated nutrient solution, an organic nutrient solution made specially for orchids. In early autumn you can start using it on your orchids. The amount must not be too much; best is once every 10 days. It can strengthen the orchid's roots and increase the number of flower buds.
Everyone knows orchids are shade-loving plants, but plants still need sunlight to grow, and what I'm talking about now is the issue of light for orchids. Autumn sunlight is no longer so scorching, so orchids can now be moved out of the room and placed on the balcony to receive the sunshine. However, the midday sun is still fairly harsh, so at noon you still need to move the orchids back indoors. Alternatively, you can build a light-permeable woven shade cover above the orchid, so the orchid can get sunlight without you having to worry about direct sun exposure.
