The secret to multiple sprouting in orchids lies in controlling the moisture of the potting soil

To make more orchids sprout, it is necessary to choose soil suitable for plant growth (neutral or acidic), maintain about 6 hours of light per day, and keep a watering frequency of every 10 days in spring and summer, and before the plant has properly sprouted, use hormones that promote sprouting to increase the sprouting rate.

1. Soil selection

To make more orchids sprout, it is necessary to choose neutral or acidic soil that is rich in humus, loose and permeable, and well-drained, and to keep the pH value between 5.5 and 6.5. Six parts of rotted leaf mold, three parts of red soil and one part of river sand can be mixed to ensure sufficient nutrients and better plant growth and sprouting.

2. Appropriate shading

Orchids mostly prefer a semi-shaded growing environment and avoid direct sunlight; when the light is too strong, appropriate shading is needed. In spring, autumn, season and winter, the plant can grow under scattered light, and about 6 hours of light per day can be guaranteed, which can promote the plant to sprout and grow vigorously.

3. Control watering

If you want orchids to sprout more, do not water frequently or excessively. In an overly humid environment, it is difficult to absorb nutrients, which is not conducive to sprouting. In spring and autumn, it is best to maintain a watering frequency of every 10 days. In summer, it is best to water once every 2 days. In winter, it is best to water less or not at all.

4. Reasonable fertilization

Orchids should be properly fertilized in late autumn and properly fertilized in early spring. Before the plant has sprouted, some hormones that promote sprouting can be used to increase the sprouting rate of orchids. Commonly used agents include fungicide, Huabao, Orchid King, etc. They can be used according to the instructions, but be careful not to use them excessively, otherwise it will have a certain impact on later growth.
