1. Pruning and shaping

Orchids can be pruned and shaped in time after they fade. First cut off the residual flowers on the orchid plants, and then cut off the pedicels together with the dead leaves. By pruning, the consumption of nutrients can be reduced, and the remaining nutrients can be supplied to other leaves, which can promote the germination of new branches and buds.

Second, increase the light

After the flowers of orchids wither, the light can be gradually increased. In the later growth stage, there is a great demand for light, so it can be kept in a position with sufficient light, which can encourage orchids to absorb more sunlight. Under the action of light, nutrients can be synthesized through photosynthesis, which can promote the healthy growth of plants and avoid excessive growth.

Third, control watering

After the orchids have just bloomed, it is necessary to control watering and keep the soil dry, which can stimulate the germination of new buds. Moreover, you can't water too much at this time, otherwise you will be in a stagnant water environment and the roots will rot.

Fourth, topdressing in time

Orchids consume their own nutrients during flowering, so after flowering, topdressing can be appropriate, organic fertilizer can be selected, fertilization should not be too much, a little thin fertilizer can be applied every month, and it is more appropriate to choose rotten cake fertilizer and water.

5. Turn over the pots and change the soil

If the orchids have been raised for several years, you can turn over the pots and change the soil after flowering, which will have little impact on the plants. New soil can be replaced, and old roots and rotten roots can be cut off, which is beneficial to the later growth.

Precautions for Orchids

Orchids are common ornamental flowers, so you should pay attention to changing pots regularly during maintenance. Orchids can be changed once every 1-2 years, which is suitable for changing pots in spring. After changing pots, you should pay attention to using loose, fertile and well-drained soil for orchids. The soil needs to be disinfected before it is used for orchids.

attention should be paid to giving orchids a warm and ventilated growth environment during maintenance. If you keep orchids indoors, you can put them in a well-lit and ventilated place indoors. During the maintenance period, always open the window to keep indoor air circulation. Care should be taken not to put orchids in a dark and closed place indoors during maintenance.
