The ball orchid is a submerged wild species of hot standby, which is attached to the trunk and stone wall. Ball orchids prefer a warm environment, like high temperature, high humidity, and semi-yin environment. Summer and autumn seasons require higher air humidity. Avoid sun exposure, excessive light, yellowish leaves, and rough and dull colors. The most suitable growth temperature is 20~25 °C.
The ball is relatively cold-tolerant, the temperature in winter is not lower than 1 °C, and it can be flowered every day for 3 to 4 hours. But not blooming does not affect the appearance of the ball orchid, and can be viewed as a potted plant.
For home planting ball, it is best to choose a well-drained and humus-rich soil so that the ball grows more vigorously and keeps the soil dry during the curing process.
First, what fertilizer is used?
When the ball is in different growth stages, the fertilizer needed is different. When it is still a seedling, its root system can not absorb too much fertilizer, and can apply a small amount of farmyard manure. During the growth of the plant, it should be applied with nitrogen-containing elements, which is beneficial to the growth of the roots of the plants. In the pre-flowering stage of the plant, the main application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can promote its better flowering.
Second, the matters needing attention
1. When applying fertilizer to the plant, apply the decomposed light fertilizer, and do not apply too much fertilizer to it. The roots of the plants are very weak. If the fertilizer is high, it will not be absorbed, and the heat generated will burn its roots.
2. After entering the winter with lower temperature, the growth rate of the plant will be slower, so don't give it too much fertilizer at this time. Winter is usually carried out every 40-50 days to avoid fat damage.
3. When applying fertilizer, do not stick to its root system. Apply fertilizer to the root of the plant, and try not to apply fertilizer to the plant.
