Onion orchid will not start to resume growth immediately when it is first bought. It will have a slow potting period. At this time, you need to place it in a semi-shady environment to add enough moisture to it, but do not allow water to accumulate in the basin and keep the temperature at about 22°C. No fertilizer can be applied at this time to prevent root burning. After it starts growing again, fertilize it again.

The newly purchased onion orchid needs to be provided with a warm and humid environment for it to grow in the pot. First, it must be replenished with enough water to allow the soil to maintain A slightly moist state, but no water accumulation. No fertilizer can be applied at this time to prevent root burning. It is afraid of strong light, so it needs to be maintained in a semi-shady environment.

2. Specific breeding methods

1. Soil: Onion orchid has certain requirements for soil conditions. It cannot grow in sticky, powdery or alkaline soil. We need to use loose humus soil. Such soil has good drainage and is also It can better help it absorb nutrients and water.

2. Temperature: It is suitable for growing in a warm environment. When you first buy it, you need to keep it in an environment with a temperature of about 22°C for maintenance. It is not resistant to high temperatures and will grow slowly when the temperature is higher than 35°C. Therefore, proper shading and cooling are required in summer, as well as frequent ventilation. It cannot be left in a low-temperature environment for a long time. When the temperature is lower than 10°C, it will stop growing. In winter, measures need to be taken to keep warm.

3. Light: It tolerates shade and does not like strong light . When you first buy it, you need to place it in a semi-shady environment or an environment with astigmatism for maintenance. Do not put it directly in the sun for maintenance. Once it is burned, it will be difficult to recover. When the sunlight is strong in summer, shade should be provided.

4. Watering: It is afraid of waterlogging and is not drought-tolerant. It needs to be provided with a moist growing environment. When you first buy it, the growth rate is relatively slow. Give it enough water first, and then reduce the frequency of watering as appropriate to keep the pot soil in a slightly moist environment. Under normal circumstances, in spring and autumn, watering should be done about once every 20 days. Each watering must be done thoroughly, and some water should be sprayed appropriately to increase the humidity of the air. In summer, watering should be done approximately once a week. If the weather is dry, You need to increase the frequency of watering appropriately; in winter, you need to reduce the frequency and amount of watering and keep the soil dry to survive the winter safely.

5. Fertilization: It likes fertilizer, so you need to temporarily stop fertilizing it when you first buy it. Under normal circumstances, except in winter, thin liquid fertilizer needs to be poured once a month. The time for fertilizing is generally chosen when the temperature is relatively moderate during the day and the sunlight is not strong. After fertilizing, the leaves and flowers should be kept dry at night. The fertilizer can be diluted with appropriate watering the next day.
