Blood leaf orchid, in fact, has another name is Anoectochilus roxburghii, mainly because its dark green leaves have five golden red shiny veins on it, and the reverse side is light red. It seems to be very distinctive. Raising it at home also brings a feeling of being tall to my family. However, in normal maintenance, we should pay attention to many things, such as how to water, which needs to be learned.

1. Amount of watering

It can be watered a little more in summer, because once it is short of water in summer, it will not grow very well. In addition, it needs to be eight dry and two wet. When watering, we must water it thoroughly. We can't pour half and leave half. Otherwise, its root system will not get enough nutrients to absorb, which will also bring bad consequences to its growth

2. Times of watering

The watering frequency depends on the plant material in the basin. If it is some volcanic stone or pumice stone and other hard hydrophobic plant materials, you can water once a day. However, if it is some plant materials with strong water absorption such as pond soil and humus soil, it can be watered every 2 to 3 days. In addition, watering is generally carried out in the morning or evening. Do not water at noon or directly

3. Watering method

The usual method is spraying, which can not only increase the humidity in the air, but also wash away the dust on its leaf surface. However, it is not suitable to use this method for those blood leaf orchids with fluff on the leaves or flowering. The whole basin should be placed in the water basin, but the water should not submerge the basin mouth. Use the small holes under the bottom of the basin to seep water to keep the basin soil moist

4. Pay attention to the control of water temperature

When watering, you should also control the water temperature. If the water temperature is very different from the soil temperature, that is, it has exceeded 6 degrees, then you can put the water in the room for a period of time in winter, or you can add a little warm water to it and water the flowers when the water temperature rises to about 15 degrees

5. Watering time

In summer, never water under the scorching sun and when the temperature is very high at noon. In spring, autumn and winter, it is generally around 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m. to water, which is the best time
