Everyone considers the orchid to be a very capricious flower, since it requires careful care.
If you create conditions at home that are close to its growth, then caring for it will not be difficult.
In summer, the orchid needs to be watered once every 7 days.
It is necessary to provide enough moisture to wet the roots and pebbles. The substrate should not dry out. During active growth, feed the orchid with liquid fertilizer.
During the winter, water the flower once every 30 days. Place the flower in a warm room.
There is no need to feed or spray the flower. If too much light is directed at the flower, it will stop blooming, and the leaves will become yellow and wrinkled.
If you find the right place for the orchid to grow, it will immediately begin to grow and bloom. Most people start growing the flower with the Phalaenopsis variety.
If properly cared for, it can live for almost 7 years. They grow well in the middle of the room under artificial light. The temperature in the room should be kept within 16-22 degrees Celsius.
Watering should be moderate, so you need to wait until the roots dry out a little before watering.
Make sure that moisture does not get on the growth point. Do not forget about ventilation.
It is better to water by immersing the flower pot in water. After the soil becomes moist, the flower should be returned to its place.
How to repot an orchid
This should not be done often, as this manipulation can damage the flower.
The methods of replanting depend on the orchid variety. In March and February, replant varieties such as brassia, stanhopea and catleya. And in April and May - dendrobiums, coelogynes and cymbidiums.
The flower is replanted once every couple of years. Epiphytic varieties - once every three years. Varieties that grow on soil mixtures, even less often. It is better to replant the flower so that the lump with soil is preserved. This method is suitable for dendrobiums, since their roots are very dense.
