What are the key points for caring for orchids in the north
Key points for caring for orchids in the north:
① Potting soil. Use leaf mold, or high-quality peat as the potting soil.
② Container. Earthenware pots are best, with 3-4 cm of gravel placed at the bottom of the pot.
③ Fertilizer and water. During the spring and summer growing season, apply a dilute organic liquid fertilizer. Rainwater is best for watering. In winter, stop fertilizing and water less, keeping the potting soil moist but slightly dry.
④ Light. Around Qingming, the orchids should be moved outdoors during the day for care. In midsummer, provide shade and mist the leaves.
⑤ Ventilation. At noon each day, place the orchids in a south-facing sunny spot and open the doors and windows moderately to let the air circulate.
