Keep warm: When the orchid is in the budding stage, the temperature around it should be controlled within 18-25°C, and the minimum at night should not be lower than 8°C. Appropriate exposure to light: The light intensity should be appropriately controlled during the germination period, so that it receives some soft scattered light, and do not let it receive direct strong light. Water and fertilizer: It is recommended to water every 5-7 days and fertilize every 15-20 days to provide water and nutrients to help it germinate.

1. Keep warm

1. Keep warm

When the orchid is in the budding stage, it must be provided with a relatively warm environment. Because whether the temperature is suitable can directly determine whether it can germinate smoothly. Specifically, it is recommended to control the temperature at 18-25℃. The minimum temperature should not be lower than 8℃ at night, otherwise its flower buds will not be able to grow smoothly. In addition, do not let the temperature exceed 30°C, otherwise it will be very detrimental to the flower buds.

2. Appropriate exposure to light

Unlike most light-loving flowers, orchids prefer a semi-shady environment with diffused light. It is more afraid of strong light. If the light in the maintenance environment is too strong, it will also affect its flower buds. Therefore, when it is in the budding stage, it is recommended to raise it in a place with soft light. This will not only prevent it from being burned by strong light, but also allow it to receive sunlight to synthesize nutrients and grow smoothly.

3. Water and fertilizer

If you want it to germinate smoothly, you must provide it with a certain amount of moisture and nutrient support. So at this time, you need to water it properly and apply some fertilizer appropriately. Water can be poured every 5-7 days, and then watered again when the planting material dries out. This allows it to absorb enough water without worrying about waterlogging and damaging its roots. Fertilizer can be applied every 15-20 days. This will ensure its nutritional needs.
