The flowers of the orchid are as beautiful and elegant as a gentleman, and it is also one of the more popular orchids. So how should this flower be cultivated?

1. Soil

1. Soil

It is best to use soft and fertile soil to cultivate Sclerophyllum. The root system of Sclerophyllum is relatively long and very strong, so the loose and breathable soil becomes a necessary survival condition for it. , in order to ensure the normal growth of the root system, try to choose a larger pot for planting, which can provide sufficient growth space for the root system.

2. Lighting

Sclerophyllus prefers shade. When cultivating, it is necessary to avoid strong direct sunlight. It is best to choose a semi-shady place with sufficient scattered light for cultivation.

3. Water

Hard leaves Orchid likes a humid environment, so you need to maintain the humidity of the pot soil, but be careful not to water too much. Wait until the pot soil is slightly dry before watering appropriately. In summer, when the temperature is relatively high, watering should be done in the morning or evening when the water temperature and soil temperature are close to each other; in winter, attention should be paid to appropriately reducing watering, but not letting the soil dry out, just keep it moist. When watering, water along the edge of the flower pot and do not pour it directly on the plants; when the air is relatively dry, spray water on the leaves frequently to keep the leaves moist.

IV. Fertilizer

Hard leaves Orchid is a plant that prefers fertilizer and can be grown in flower soil rich in humus. When planting, it is best to prepare a layer of base fertilizer in advance to ensure that the growing environment has sufficient nutrients. When cultivating, you can spray some liquid fertilizer on the leaves of Sclerophyllum to promote its growth and development.

5. Precautions

1 . When cultivating Sclerophyllum, the soil should be plowed frequently to keep the soil loose and breathable. It is not only necessary to ensure that the soil is breathable, but also to provide a ventilated growth environment for the orchid. A ventilated and warm environment can make the color of the orchid brighter and reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.

2. Do not blindly disinfect the soil and plants before planting. Orchids rely on orchid bacteria to provide nutrients for their root systems. If the plants are disinfected regardless of whether they are diseased or not, the balance of orchid bacteria will be greatly destroyed, resulting in slow growth of sclerophylls, reduced germination, and even phytotoxicity.

There is also an anaerobic bacterium among the orchid bacteria that is not conducive to the growth of the orchid. However, this bacteria is difficult to survive and reproduce in a breathable environment. Therefore, attention should be paid to loosening the soil frequently to maintain the growth of the orchid. Root health.
