What Orchid dislikes the most. Don't make my mistakes

Few of us have ever thought to have a beautiful orchid. But, like many beauties, she is extremely capricious. When I just started growing this plant at home, I personally faced many problems - mistakes in care were to blame.

I want to share the most dangerous of them, which can seriously dislike and harm the orchid.

Excessive watering

One of the most popular mistakes in plant care. The orchid really loves moisture. Just one clarification: not so much the soil should be moist as the air.

In its natural habitat, the orchid blooms in a relatively dry season. Usually it should be watered no more than once every two weeks.

Sunburn

Direct sunlight can seriously damage your orchid. In nature, the orchid grows in shaded areas; it is not adapted to the scorching sun.

Leaf burns have a negative effect on plant health. This is why there should be light shading above it if the pot is placed on the sunny side.

Top dressing during flowering

There is absolutely no need to feed the orchid while it is blooming! Once I did this, as a result, the orchid began to shed those flowers that had already grown on it, but no new ones appeared.

The fact is that the plant spends a lot of energy on the assimilation of feeding - and during the flowering period they are not enough.

You need to feed the orchid before flowering.

Spraying flowers

Spraying the orchid is definitely a must. But at the same time, it is worthwhile to carefully ensure that drops of water fall only on the leaves, and the flowers are not sprayed.

First, the water refracts the sun's rays and the flowers can burn. Secondly, flowers can become stained and even fall off.

Therefore, it is worth spraying the orchid very carefully in order to get only on the leaves.

Change of location

The orchid is very sensitive to external conditions, especially to their change. When she is used to the same place, temperature, lighting level, she will experience tremendous stress if she is transferred to another.

Important immediately choose the optimal place in the apartment in order to place the flower, and in no case rearrange it during the flowering process.

A healthy and beautiful orchid is a real decoration for any apartment. Taking care of it correctly and without making mistakes, you can achieve truly beautiful, long flowering.
