P:Last year, I purchased flowering orchids that have been blooming beautifully for about 6 months. After flowering, I trimmed the stems and left the plant dormant. Since March, I moved the orchids to a warmer window and started watering and fertilizing. They sprouted flower shoots and even a twig with buds, which were more than before. When the orchids bloomed, the flowers began to wilt and fall, and some of the buds did not fully develop and also wilt.
O:Various types of problems with flowering plants, not onlyorchids , are a symptom of some care errors.Orchids are very sensitive, they do not like moving from place to place,twisting ,noddinganddraftsWatering these plant is not that simple. They are watered abundantly with acidic water until overflowing, but then wait quite a long time for the substrate to dry thoroughly Water stagnation in the base can lead to rotting of the roots and, therefore, plant wilting. In this case, the root ball must be dried.
It is worth breaking the orchid frompotsfrom time to time and check the appearance ofroots- they should be clear. The change in the color of the roots can also be caused by over-fertilization. The leaves are then dark green and the plant has trouble flowering.Root block rootshould then be rinsed. Also, too low lighting causes problems with flowering orchids. They need approximately 1,000 to 1,500 lux of diffused light. They can be lit with energy-savingbulbs25 W power - on cloudy days for 12-14 hours.
P:Last year, I had Kanna for the first time. I dug up the tubers and store them in the cellar. When should I put them in the pots?
O:KannyAlready at the end of March or the beginning of April, you should plant 2-liter pots with fertile soil. This capacity is enough for a single rhizome. Larger ones, with severalbranches , can be separated. The wound should be covered with groundcharcoal woodThe rhizome is planted horizontally, covered with a layer of soil several centimeters.

In rooms with room temperature a momentum grows, which should be handled gently as it isvery fragile At the beginning, we water it sparingly, increasing the amount of water as new leaves emerge. In the endMayor at the beginningJune the beadsare already planted into the ground.
