Temperature management: It is recommended to control the temperature at around 20℃, not exceeding 30℃, and not lower than 8℃. Light management: It is necessary to provide the orchid plants with a semi-shady environment and avoid strong light exposure. Water management: Provide adequate water and wait until the plant material dries before watering again. It needs to be watered thoroughly every time. Fertilizer management: Fertilizer should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer, and thin fertilizer should be applied 1-2 times a month.

1. Temperature management

After the orchid germinates, you must first ensure that it is provided with a warm growing environment. Only in this way can its young shoots grow smoothly. Specifically, it is recommended to control the temperature at around 20°C, not too high. If it exceeds 30°C, the young shoots will grow very slowly or even be unable to grow. Don't set it too low. If the temperature is lower than 8℃, the young shoots may be frozen and unable to grow smoothly.

2. Light management

Large Some orchids are shade-loving flowers and cannot tolerate strong light exposure. Especially the young sprouts that have just grown out are even less resistant to sunlight. Therefore, it is best to maintain it in a semi-shady environment with only a small amount of light. This will allow it to grow smoothly and not become wilted in the sun.

3. Water management

In When it is in the germination stage, it is necessary to do a good job in water management and provide it with an appropriate amount of water. To put it simply, water must be supplied reasonably, neither too much water nor without water for a long time. Because too much water will cause the plant material to accumulate water and damage its root system, while too little water will cause its new shoots to fail to grow. Therefore, it is best to wait until the plant material dries before watering. Control the amount of water each time you water, and stop watering after the plant material is thoroughly watered.

4. Fertilizer management

In When it is in the germination stage, it can be fertilized appropriately. Fertilizer should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer, because this fertilizer is very good for its new shoot growth. The frequency of fertilization should be controlled at 1-2 times a month and not too frequently. Before each application of fertilizer, fertilizer should be diluted with water in advance. This will prevent root burning with heavy fertilizers.
