1. Planting essentials. Orchids are native to the south of the Yangtze River basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in China, and are wild in the sparse forest areas of valleys, and prefer warm and humid nature. Potted plants are used in all parts of North China, and they are wintered indoors in winter.

Orchids prefer fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soils and are more suitable. It is best to take humus soil under the mountain forest for potting soil, and you can also use half of humus soil and sandy loam soil, or 5 parts of humus, 3 parts of compost soil, and 2 parts of coarse sand. When planting, put coarse gravel or broken pot chips in the pot first to enhance drainage.

The roots must be straightened, and the soil must be filled and transported. The depth should be that the top of the false bulb is level with the soil surface. For the sake of beauty and to prevent rainwater from washing the potting soil, the pot surface can be paved with green cloud grass or white gravel.

After planting, water it thoroughly, put it in a cool place, and then move it to the cultivation site after 1 or 2 weeks.

2. Watering essentials. Orchids are moist and slightly drought tolerant. In the north, when the weather is dry in spring and early summer, pay attention to watering and keep the potting soil slightly moist.

Keep the soil moderately moist in summer and autumn. In late autumn, it is advisable to gradually reduce watering. Do not dry or water in winter.

High air humidity is beneficial for orchid growth. Therefore, spray around the pot in early dry and hot weather to increase air humidity. Orchid leaves are small in area and fleshy roots, so they should not be watered too much.

3. Fertilization essentials. Orchids don't like to get fat. Fertilizer can be left out for the first year after new planting or repotting.

However, after the second year, it is still necessary to properly supplement fertilizer, generally from May to September during the peak growth period every half a month to apply orchid special trace dust organic liquid fertilizer 1 time, should be light and not thick, generally diluted 500 times to water the roots.

4. Shade essentials. It is best to set up a shade shelter for orchid care in a well-ventilated area surrounded by trees. The shade can be opened every morning and evening to allow the orchids to see the light and receive the dew. If it is too shady, it will grow too vigorously and the flowering will be poor.
