Orchids are fragile and capricious flowers that require constant care.

During the cold months, it is important to keep in mind that the care of such indoor flowers is different.

For example, you should not use too much fertilizer. Minimal fertilizers are acceptable.

In addition, you should not water orchids often in winter. It is enough to carry out the procedure twice a month.

It is important to remember that the plant should not be watered in the morning, or if frost is expected. If you forget this rule, there is a risk of frostbite or damage to the roots.

At the same time, you should not refuse spraying. The flower will be happy with this daily procedure, which increases the humidity in the room.

You also need to make sure that the orchid has enough light. It is acceptable to use artificial lighting.

It is important to remember that in winter it is very important to protect the fragile plant from temperature changes. Do not leave the pot in a draft, near a heater or air conditioner.
