Orchids have pseudobulbs. The leaves come out from the base of the pseudobulbs and are mostly banded. The petal of the flower is close to the calyx. At the same time, it has a unique shape, which is its lip, as well as the stamen. When you raise flowers, you should give them plenty of light. Remember to turn the basin to make sure they are illuminated on all sides. Do not water too much, keep the soil dry. Fertilizer should also be applied less, once every two weeks in spring and autumn.

I. morphological characteristics

1. Stem: the stem of orchid is pseudobulb, and its shape is mostly ovoid, ellipse and shuttle.

2. Leaves: the leaves grow from the base of pseudobulbs, generally banded, and some are oblanceolate and narrowly elliptic.

3. Flowers: the petals and calyx of orchids are indistinguishable and have two rounds in total. Among them, there are three inner wheels, and the lower one is the labellum, which is larger than the other two. The synthesis of stamens, pistils and stigmas into stamens is a major feature of orchids.

II. Maintenance methods

1. Illumination: the illumination of orchids needs special attention. In addition to spring and summer high temperature period appropriate shade, autumn half sunshine, winter full day, but also appropriate turn basin, let its four sides can receive light.

2. Watering: orchid should not be watered too much. It is better to keep the soil slightly dry, long-term humidity is harmful to its growth. Generally, water from the edge of the basin. The time can be in the early morning or evening. Dry season can be properly sprayed to ensure that the leaves are moist.

3. Fertilization: Orchid fertilization should be less, not more. Basin soil should not choose too fertile soil as the substrate, generally in the spring and autumn season, every two to three weeks can fertilize once, time in the evening, the next morning watering.
