Generally, repotting orchids is done in the early stage of orchid growth, that is, in spring, and repotting is best done right when growth is just about to begin. At this time, the roots recover quickly after repotting, and during growth it helps them absorb nutrients and water, so they grow relatively fast,

If it is an orchid that has grown for many years and has many side shoots produced by division, and the side shoots have grown main roots, then you can take this opportunity to divide the orchid. Cut the main roots from the connection point and plant them separately. With good care, it is quite normal for one orchid to produce four or five new plants by division in a year,

Of course, in greenhouses that specialize in growing orchids, even more small plantlets will be produced by division, because in greenhouses the fertilizer and water are plentiful and the environment is suitable, so more small plantlets will be produced

For the soil used for orchids, we should use loose and breathable soil, preferably mostly granular soil. Orchid roots are relatively thick water roots, and watering should be sufficient. Only when the potting soil is loose and breathable will more watering not cause root rot,

The growing environment for orchids requires a relatively humid environment. Usually we should spray water around the orchids more often to increase air humidity

During the growing period of orchids, they should be given sufficient light, and in summer they should be shaded, not exposed to strong sun,

During the growing period, fertilizer and water must be sufficient. Apply a multi-element organic fertilizer once or twice a month. Be sure to apply thin fertilizer frequently, and only then will the orchids grow vigorously. During the bud development period of orchids, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once or twice, which helps them send up spikes quickly and bloom profusely

Master these few points, and it is also very easy to grow orchids well
