Cultivation methods and matters needing attention of potted orchids in summer

Flower lovers who raise orchids will know that summer is hot and sultry, and the temperature reaches above 35 degrees. The daily management of orchids should take various measures to cool down and increase the air humidity.

Flowers must be carefully cultivated, otherwise the hot weather in summer will easily hurt potted orchids. When planting potted orchids in summer, the following maintenance measures should be taken.

First, strengthen ventilation for heatstroke prevention and cooling.

Summer is hot and sultry, which is the enemy of orchid cultivation, so we must pay attention to ventilation.

Outdoor orchids can be moved to cool places with good ventilation environment, and indoor orchids can be potted, such as balconies, and windows can be opened for ventilation and cooling.

We can also use a fan or water curtain for physical cooling. The first thing that orchids should pay attention to in summer is good ventilation.

Second, increase air humidity.

In summer, the temperature is dry and sultry, and the water evaporates quickly, so it is necessary to spray water around orchid potted plants to cool down. During the day, water can be sprayed on the ground, and the surrounding of potted plants can be filled with water to increase the air humidity and reduce the temperature.

Water the leaves in the morning and evening, and it's best not to spray too much water on the leaves to avoid water accumulation and rotten seedlings. Keep orchid plants moist in summer, not dry, so as not to die.

Third, often apply thin fertilizer to promote growth.

The hot weather in summer affects the growth of orchids. Early summer before the arrival of summer is the growth period of orchids, during which it is best to use the method of thin fertilizer and diligent application.

Proper topdressing of orchids can promote the growth of orchids and make them grow stronger, so as to successfully spend the sultry summer.

Fourth, avoid heavy rain and prevent diseases.

Summer is a hot and rainy season, so we must pay attention to orchids to prevent the storm from getting wet. Especially in areas with poor air environment, rain should be strictly avoided to avoid orchid infection.

At the same time, we should take the initiative to do a good job in disease prevention and control, remove the dirt around orchid potted plants in time, and properly disinfect the orchid flower stand and surrounding ground to reduce the occurrence of germs and viruses.

Therefore, preservation is very important, especially for potted orchids that have just changed pots. It is suggested that every time you water orchids, you should add fungicides, such as thiophanate-methyl to dilute the water.
