In order for an orchid to bloom profusely, it needs to be provided with proper care.
One of the key aspects of care, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , is watering.
Depending on the type of soil the orchid is growing in and its age, watering may vary. It is generally recommended to water orchids when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch.
However, it is important not to over-water the soil, as this can lead to root rot and death of the plant.
For watering orchids, it is recommended to use water at room temperature or slightly warmer than the room temperature.
You can also use rainwater or filtered water.
Here are some more tips that will be useful for orchid owners who want to enjoy their lush flowering.
When caring for the plant, it is recommended to use fertilizers specially designed for orchids. It is also worth regularly replanting the orchid into fresh substrate to provide it with nutrients and oxygen.
