Orchid is an epiphytic or terrestrial herb. Its stem is pseudobulb, and its shape is mostly ovoid, oval and spindle. One or more scape will be drawn from the bottom of its pseudobulb. Its leaves also grow from the base of pseudobulb, generally showing a ribbon, and some are oblanceolate or narrow oval. The flower of orchid is mainly composed of calyx and petals. The outer layer is calyx and the inner layer is petal. The inner layer usually has only three, and the lower one turns into lip.

2. How to raise orchids

Temperature: orchids like a warm environment, so the temperature should be kept at 20 to 25 degrees Celsius

Light: orchids need more light to grow better, but they are afraid of strong light. Therefore, in seasons other than spring and summer, it can receive full-time sunlight, and adjust its orientation from time to time so that it can receive light evenly. When the sun is strong in other seasons, you should pay attention to shading it

Moisture: orchids do not like humidity and prefer a relatively dry environment. Therefore, the amount of watering should not be too much. It can meet its growth conditions by controlling it to be two parts dry and eight parts wet. Just pay attention to whether to water it at noon

Fertilizer: we must control the amount of fertilizer for orchids. When it just sprouts, it can be fertilized with nitrogen based fertilizer once. Until the growth period, nitrogen fertilizer needs to be applied every half a month. Then wait until the flowers wither before fertilizing. In addition, the fertilization time should be in the evening
