Flowering orchids: Multiply successfully!
Orchids are beautiful and exotic plants that bring a touch of elegance to any space. If you want to multiply your orchids successfully, here are some practical tips:
Elegant orchid pot
Choosing the pot for your orchids is crucial for their flowering and growth. Opt for transparent plastic pots to allow light to reach the roots. Make sure the pot has drainage holes to avoid excess water that could damage the roots.
- Choose a specific orchid substrate, such as a mix of pine bark and sphagnum, to ensure good drainage and root aeration.
- Place your orchid in a bright place but without direct exposure to the sun. Orchids prefer indirect light.
- Make sure to water your orchid sparingly by letting the substrate dry slightly between each watering. Too much water can cause root rot.
- Use a specific fertilizer for orchids diluted in water to feed your plant during its growth phase.
