Soil: potted soil can be mixed with garden soil, saprophytic soil and sand in the proportion of 2:2:1, with good drainage. Light: put the plant in a bright place in the room to avoid direct sunlight and burn. Temperature: the suitable temperature for growth is 18-28 ℃; after the middle of October, the temperature should be 10-14 ℃, and the lowest temperature for overwintering is 7 ℃. Water content: the basin soil is dry and wet.

Soil requirements

It is suitable for indoor cultivation. Potted soil can be mixed with garden soil, saprophytic soil and sand in the proportion of 2:2:1, and the drainage needs to be good.

Lighting requirements

The amount of light will affect the bright degree of flowering. If you want to have a colorful and long flowering period, you'd better put the orchid in the brightest place in the room, but you should avoid direct sunlight to avoid burning the leaves. Pot plants should be placed in the sunny place, away from direct sunlight. They can be placed indoors not far from the south window, which can keep the leaves green and bright, and bloom well. In summer, it is necessary to move to the shade area to prevent direct sunlight, or the leaves will turn yellow easily. If you put it in the place where the light is insufficient for a long time, the color of the leaves will be light and the flowers will be less but not bright. Wire can be used as a circle to wrap the branches around them, allowing them to climb and grow, which is more conducive to lighting. After budding, the position of potted plant cannot be moved, and the flower ball is always facing the light.

Temperature requirements

The temperature should be 10-14 ℃ after the middle of October, and the lowest temperature is 7 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, it is easy to be damaged by cold, causing defoliation and even whole plant death.

Reproduction method

It is easy to take root by cutting or pressing. Generally speaking, cutting is carried out in late spring; a section of stem about 10 cm is cut, and the cut is stained with rooting agent and then inserted into the soil for cutting, which can also be used for bud cutting. The soil temperature should be kept at 20-25 ℃. After about 8-10 weeks of culture, roots will grow. After two weeks, the roots can be transplanted after they are well developed. High branch pruning can be carried out in spring.
