1. How to raise orchids

Temperature: the cultivation of orchids needs to provide it with a suitable temperature environment to ensure that the temperature is between 20 and 25 degrees. It will grow better in a warm environment. Therefore, when it is too cold or overheated, it is necessary to take measures to keep warm and cool in advance

Light: orchids need enough light to grow well, but they are afraid of strong light and are not resistant to direct sunlight. Therefore, it can be maintained in an environment with much scattered light or half sunshine. It still needs to be shaded when the noon sun is too fierce in summer

Moisture: orchids do not like moisture, and their demand for moisture is not strong. If there is too much water in the basin soil, it will hinder the root respiration. If there is ponding, it will also lead to the problem of rotten roots. Therefore, the amount of water must be controlled to keep the soil at eight minutes wet. In winter, there is no need to water the plants to avoid frostbite

Soil: orchids don't like humidity, so the soil for breeding them needs to be a loose soil with good drainage, which is not easy to form ponding. And it needs to be rich in humus, which can provide certain nutrients for plants. And the pH value of the soil is best between 5 and 5.6, which is more acidic

2. Why don't orchids bloom

Temperature discomfort: Orchid flowering requires sufficient temperature difference between day and night. The temperature during the day should be between 18 and 21 degrees, and the temperature at night should be between 7 and 10 degrees to ensure that the temperature difference between day and night is about 10 degrees. In this way, it can bloom faster

Insufficient light: the growth of orchids requires a certain amount of sunshine. If it is not exposed to light for a long time, it will not be able to conceive flower buds. It needs to be kept in a sunny place and can accept the irradiation of scattered light

Improper watering: if you water too much, it will lead to overgrowth. It needs to be drained in time to promote the germination of flower buds. If the water is too little and the water is insufficient, it will be difficult to bloom, so it needs to be replenished in time

Improper fertilization: excessive fertilization leads to excess nutrition, which will make orchid branches grow vigorously and inhibit the differentiation of flower buds

Seedling stage: orchids in the seedling stage are difficult to bloom. Only when they mature can they bloom beautiful flowers

Plant diseases and insect pests: if the plant is affected by diseases and insect pests such as leaf spot and whitefly, it will also not bloom. Timely prevention and control can be carried out by spraying chlorothalonil solution
