Precautions for caring for Mo Lan

illumination

Molan prefers a semi-shaded environment, so it is best to maintain it in a place with scattered light. Too much light can easily cause sunburn on the leaves. Excessive shading or long-term indoor storage will affect the photosynthesis of orchids, causing poor growth and difficulty in flowering. Therefore, Molan should pay attention to shading in summer, and can receive appropriate light in other seasons, but the autumn heat is also very strong in autumn, so it is also necessary to pay attention to light protection.

Watering

You can water the black orchid with rainwater or snow water after the flowers bloom. It is best to leave it for a while. You can also use tap water to water the black orchid, but you must remember to leave the water for a while and let it dry in the sun before watering. Increase the amount of watering during the growing season and reduce the amount of watering in winter. Do not accumulate water to prevent root rot.

temperature

Mo Lan is afraid of both heat and cold. If the temperature exceeds 30℃ in summer and is below 10℃ in winter, it will grow slowly or enter a dormant period. The suitable temperature for the growth of Mo Lan is 18℃~28℃, and it should be protected according to the temperature during the maintenance process.

Air humidity

Molan prefers a growing environment with high air humidity. Therefore, in the winter in the north, you must pay attention to sprinkling water into the air to ensure that the air is moist, so that the leaves of Molan can be shiny and green and bloom.
