How to maintain 1, trim and reshape after the flowering period of orchid?
Orchids will wither after flowering. At this time, we should trim and reshape in time, cut off pedicels and dead leaves along the roots, so that nutrients can be fully concentrated in the leaves, reduce nutrient loss and promote plant growth and recovery.
2. Turn over the pots and change the soil
After the flowering period of orchid, it is necessary to turn over the pot and change the soil in time, take the plants out of the pot, cut off the long roots and rotten old roots, keep half of the original soil, and then add half of the new soil, which can help orchids adapt to the new pot soil more quickly.
3. Rational topdressing
Orchids consume a lot of nutrients during flowering, so topdressing should be given to plants in time after flowering, and decomposed organic fertilizer is the best fertilizer. Before fertilization, the fertilizer should be diluted with water and released into the soil gently to avoid burning the roots of orchids.
Step 4 control watering
After the flowering period of orchid, it is necessary to control the supplement of water and follow the principle of seeing dry and wet when watering. When the soil is not wet, it should be watered thoroughly until the water at the bottom of the basin slowly flows out to avoid a lot of accumulated water causing rotten roots.
