The best way to raise orchids is to use humus soil, and add some basic fertilizer to it when planting. Usually it should be placed in the half shade, except in winter, it needs to be shaded. The amount of water should not be too much, just keep the soil slightly wet. Fertilizer is mainly applied in the growing period, and the diluted fertilizer cake water can be selected as fertilizer. If you want to reproduce, you can use the method of dividing plants.

3. Watering: it needs to be properly adjusted according to the different climate and seasons. When watering, do not dry in autumn or wet in winter. The amount of water should not be too much

The basic fertilizer is to mix the fertilizer in the soil, and bone meal can be used specifically. In the growing season, the diluted fertilizer cake water should be applied. In addition, spray foliar fertilizer on its leaves to promote the growth of stems and leaves.
