Caring for these heat-loving flowers in winter is significantly different.
It is important to take into account that many species begin to emerge from hibernation and bloom in February.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, spoke about what else needs to be done during this period.
It is necessary to gradually increase the intensity of watering and the amount of fertilizing. By the beginning of March, they can be sprayed more often.
The frequency depends on the air temperature.
It would not be a bad idea to periodically air out the room where the orchids are located. During this time, it is better to move them away from the window.
Such simple manipulation is one of the components of care, and also serves as disease prevention. It is better to arrange ventilation on a sunny day.
In addition, February is a great time to repot orchids that have become cramped in their pots. Some plants may need to have their substrate replaced.
