Orchids have pseudobulbs, and leaves grow from the base of the pseudobulbs, mostly in the shape of a belt. The petals and calyx of its flower are close to each other, and it has a unique shape, which is its lip, and it also has the characteristic of stamens. When growing flowers, give them enough light, and remember to repot them to ensure they receive light from all sides. Don't water too much and keep the soil dry. Fertilizer should also be applied sparingly, once every two weeks in spring and autumn.

1. Morphological characteristics

1. Stem: The stem of an orchid is a pseudobulb, and its shape is mostly ovoid, oval and fusiform.

2. Leaves: Leaves grow from the base of the pseudobulb. They are usually belt-shaped, and some are oblanceolate and narrowly oval.

3. Flowers: The petals and calyx of orchids are not clearly distinguished, and there are two whorls, inner and outer. There are three inner wheels, and the lower one is the labium, which is larger than the other two. The stamens, pistils and stigmas are combined into a stamen, which is a major characteristic of orchid plants.

2. Maintenance methods

1 , Lighting: The lighting of orchids requires special attention. In addition to proper shade during the hot spring and summer periods, half sun in autumn, and full sun in winter, it is also necessary to repot appropriately so that it can receive light from all sides.

2. Watering: Orchids should not be watered too much. It is best to keep the soil slightly dry as long-term moisture is detrimental to its growth. Generally, watering is done from the edge of the pot, and the time can be chosen in the early morning or evening. In the dry season, you can spray appropriately to ensure that the leaf surface is moist.

3. Fertilization: Fertilizing orchids should be less but not too much. It is not advisable to choose too fertile soil as the substrate for potting soil. Generally, in spring and autumn, fertilization can be applied once every two to three weeks, in the evening, and watered early the next morning.
