Caring for orchids requires some experience and knowledge. If you have never grown indoor plants, you will have to seek advice.
Orchids rarely bloom anyway, and now they can start to fade. Let's figure out what to do in this case.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to feed a fading orchid.
Why does the orchid wither?
This is the main question. It is not enough for a tropical flower to follow a watering schedule.
It is necessary to create conditions for it that are close to its natural habitat.
In addition to monitoring watering and air humidity, you need to maintain the temperature regime and provide adequate lighting.
The difference in temperature between day and night should be within 10-15 degrees (at night, naturally, it should be cooler).
As for light, direct sunlight can cause burns.
If the plant wilts
To help a wilting orchid come to its senses, you need to:
- transplant it into a new pot and fresh substrate;
- ensure temperature and light conditions;
- observe proper watering.
This will be enough for the plant to become covered with lush flowers.
And finally, to avoid any further problems with the flower, you need to replant the orchid once every 1.5-2 years.
