The first step in growing orchids in the courtyard is to choose a substrate, which must be loose, breathable and contain certain nutrients, and must be disinfected before use. Secondly, we must choose a suitable location, which requires good ventilation and a certain amount of scattered light. Then, the water should be appropriate during normal maintenance. Orchids do not need too much water. You can water it appropriately after the surface of the pot soil is somewhat dry. In addition, the temperature should also be suitable, preferably between ten and twenty-five degrees, and some thin fertilizer should be applied in time to provide nutrients.

1. Matrix selection

1. Substrate selection

The substrate for cultivating orchids needs to be loose, breathable and contain certain nutrients. It can be prepared with coarse-grained gold-grained stone, volcanic stone and bark. Pay attention to disinfection before use. In addition, to improve moisture retention, a layer of moss can be spread on the substrate.

2. Placement

Courtyard When cultivating orchids, you must choose a good location. Orchids generally prefer a well-ventilated environment and do not like strong light. Therefore, it is best to place it in a semi-shady place with good ventilation and a certain amount of scattered light.

3. Suitable water content

Orchids don’t like water very much. When watering normally, you should pay attention to controlling the amount of water and don’t water too much. When you observe that the surface of the plant's pot soil is somewhat dry, you can water it. In addition, you can also use a watering can to spray water around it to increase the air humidity.

4. The temperature is suitable

Suitable The temperature for orchid growth is between ten and twenty-five degrees, and there is also a certain temperature difference between day and night, which allows it to accumulate nutrients and help it bloom better. It is neither cold-resistant nor high-temperature resistant. Therefore, you should pay attention to shading it to cool it down when the temperature is high in summer. When the weather is too cold in winter, do not leave it outdoors and need to move it into a warm room for maintenance.

5. Appropriate amount of fertilizer

Orchid does not like fertilizer, but a certain amount of fertilizer must be applied to provide the nutrients it needs for growth. During the growth period of the plant, mainly apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. You can also use special fertilizers for orchids, which should not be too thick.
