There are many varieties of tiger orchid, including golden edge tiger orchid silver vein, tiger orchid white jade, tiger orchid lotus , tiger orchid stick, leaf tiger orchid, etc. Their growth habits are generally similar, and the maintenance methods are relatively simple. With a little effort, they can grow vigorously and burst into pots.
There is no seasonality in raising tiger orchids. Even in winter, you can choose to raise a pot. So, what issues do you need to pay attention to when raising tiger orchid in winter so that it can survive the winter safely and let it continue to grow and burst into pots? The editor recommends avoiding these three fears during maintenance.
Tiger orchid is afraid of water.
Tiger orchid has a thick and fat root system, but it is also relatively drought-tolerant. It likes to grow in dry soil. If the soil is too wet and water accumulates for a long time, it is prone to rot. Especially in winter, when the temperature is low, frostbite is easy to occur, which is detrimental to growth.
No matter in any season, when raising tiger orchids, you must remember to water less, but you must water them thoroughly every time. Do not water half of the water, which is equivalent to working in vain. Over time, the leaves will gradually shrink and wither. For example, if you raise tiger orchid in winter, if the indoor temperature is above 15 degrees, you can water it thoroughly every ten days or so. If the temperature is below 15 degrees, add water about once a month, or even cut off water and food, and then resume watering after spring.
Tiger orchid is afraid of frostbite
Tiger orchid is a flower that likes to grow in a warm environment and is not tolerant of cold, and its cold tolerance is very poor. For example, when raising tiger orchids in northern China, when the temperature is suitable, many people will plant the orchids directly and put them in fertile land for a summer to grow tall and tall plants that can sprout continuously. Then, when it enters late autumn, it will be dug out of the ground, repotted and moved indoors to grow, so as to prevent frostbite.
If it is placed indoors, it is recommended to place it in a well-ventilated place, not in a corner or in a windy place. Let it get more sunlight in winter, which can improve the plant's resistance and indirectly increase the surrounding temperature so that it can survive the winter.
Tiger orchids are afraid of not fertilizing
The most suitable temperature for the growth of tiger orchids is 15 to 25 degrees. If you keep it indoors for a long time, tiger orchids can continue to grow. For example, the tiger orchids at my home have always been placed on the balcony, and the temperature is about 20 degrees. A bud will appear around November, so it is not winter, and tiger orchids will not grow. If the ambient temperature is suitable, every day is the growth period. Therefore, fertilization is also required, otherwise, lack of nutrients will limit growth. For tiger orchids, you can use decomposed cake fertilizer, once every ten days, and use it 2 to 3 times continuously. The leaves will grow into "big ones", with several sprouts sprouting at a time, and the longer they grow, the more vigorous they will be.
