1. How to maintain orchids in autumn

Windproof: Although orchids like a well ventilated environment, it will be windy in autumn, especially in coastal areas. Preventive measures need to be taken to move indoors and close doors and windows in time

Light: in early autumn, the sun is still strong and the temperature is relatively high. There is no difference between sunny days and summer. Therefore, it is still necessary to shade the orchid properly at this time, and do not expose it to too much sunlight, otherwise it may burn the plant

Prevention and control of diseases and pests: autumn is generally the season with high incidence of diseases and pests, so we must pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and pests in autumn, and spray insecticides and fungicides on plants regularly. In addition, ventilation should be properly strengthened to avoid root stuffing. If the leaf tip turns yellow and dry, it should be cut off in time

Watering: autumn is relatively dry, and the plants will dry faster. Watering and replenishing water should be done in time to prevent the plants from drying up due to lack of water

Fertilization: after the temperature drops to 30 degrees in autumn, some fertilizer can be applied appropriately, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, or some organic fertilizer can be added appropriately. Pay attention not to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, not too thick fertilizer, thin fertilizer should be applied frequently

2. How to water orchids in late autumn

The air in autumn is generally dry, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is also large. In late autumn, the temperature will be significantly reduced. Watering orchids at this time should be more careful

But how to judge whether the plant is short of water needs a certain method. The simplest way is to judge by observing the state of the soil. You can move the soil at the edge of the flowerpot. When you move it about 45 cm deep, you can water it if you find that the soil is still relatively dry. Be careful not to hurt the roots when you move the soil

Control the amount of water when watering. Don't pour too much. Just keep the soil slightly wet. Water can also be added to the plant by spraying water, which can avoid ponding
