How to grow orchids so they bloom with a stronger fragrance? A detailed guide to care methods

When caring for orchids, if you want them to bloom better and more fragrantly, you need to ensure suitable soil, timely fertilizer, moderate watering and appropriate temperature. Specifically, use soil that contains humus, is fertile, has good air permeability and is slightly acidic for care, and fertilize promptly during the growing period and flowering period. Watering should change in frequency and amount according to the different seasons. In addition, pay attention to summer and winter, cool down and keep warm in time, and provide suitable humidity.

1. Suitable soil

When caring for orchids, it is best to use loam soil that contains humus, is fertile, has good air permeability and is slightly acidic. You can mix it yourself or buy it at a flower shop. Only suitable soil is more beneficial for growth and can produce larger and more fragrant flowers.

2. Timely fertilizer

Orchids are plants that like fertilizer. When planting, add an appropriate amount of fertilizer to the soil as a base fertilizer, and also apply fertilizer during the growing period, once a month, and the amount of fertilizer should not be too large. In addition, before flowering and during the flowering period, spray wood ash water on the leaves, about two or three times, so that its roots, stems and flowers can develop better.

3. Moderate watering

During care, change the watering frequency according to the different seasons. In spring, the growing season, water once every two or three days. In summer, water evaporates faster, so water every day. In winter, reduce the amount and frequency, changing to once a week. There must be no standing water in the pot soil, and it is best not to water the leaves either, to avoid leaving spots and affecting the appearance.

4. Appropriate temperature

It is a plant that is neither cold-tolerant nor heat-tolerant, so pay attention to the temperature in winter and summer. In winter, move it indoors in time for care, the temperature must not be lower than 3 degrees, and take good warmth measures. In summer, provide shade and avoid the heat. When the temperature is too high, sprinkle more water to cool it down and ensure humidity, so that it can grow better.
