Keeping orchids in a heated room in winter is the most fatal, because indoor heating air will be very dry, and orchids like humidity, so you need to frequently spray water around the plants to moisturize them, but do not spray water on the stems and leaves. The light in winter is soft, and orchids are grown in the heated room, and the strong light is blocked by glass, so I can get as much sun as I can. Usually, I insert a bamboo stick along the edge of the pot. If nothing happens, pull it out and see if the bamboo stick is dry. Water it thoroughly. Give the orchid a month or two of low temperature period in autumn and winter, which is conducive to the flowering of the plant.

1. Lighting

1. Light

The light in winter is warm and soft, and there will be no chance of sunburn due to excessive light. Therefore, you should get more sun. Sufficient light can allow orchids to accumulate nutrients. If there is insufficient light, orchids will suffer from sunburn. Growth is slow, with slender stems and leaves that do not bloom.

2. Temperature

Orchids, such as Cattleya, are relatively sensitive to temperature. If the temperature difference between day and night is small during maintenance, or the night temperature is too high, it will affect the flowering of the plant. For example, orchids that require vernalization to bloom must have a low temperature period of 4-10°C for one to two months in winter.

3. Watering

Winter When growing orchids in a heated room, if the indoor temperature is high, watering can be carried out as usual. For example, insert a long bamboo stick in the flower pot, pull it out and see if the bamboo stick is dry and water it thoroughly. Use the bamboo stick method to test watering, which is suitable for all seasons. Any season.

4. Humidity

In fact, the most deadly point when growing orchids in a heated room in winter is the air humidity. Because the heating is turned on, the air humidity is extremely dry, so you must spray water around the plants frequently. Humidify, or put a few basins of water next to the potted plants, and put a humidifier if possible.

5. Ventilation

Heating in winter Doors and windows are closed tightly. When spraying water around the plants, be careful not to spray it on the leaves. Otherwise, water will accumulate on the leaves of the plants, and there is no ventilation indoors, which will easily cause leaf rot and stem rot. It is best to do this at noon when the temperature is highest. , Open windows frequently for ventilation.
