How wild orchids bloom?
Three years ago, during my trip to Dalat, I bought two spring orchids from the forest. After taking care and taking care, both branches spread very beautiful flowers on the occasion of Tet. However, in the past two years, although I take good care of it, I do not see orchids flowering. Please ask if there is any way to care for wild orchids to bloom in Tet holiday?

Mr. NGUYEN THIEN TICH ( General Secretary of Ho Chi Minh City Orchid Association ):
- Nghinh Xuan lan has the scientific name Rhynchostylis gigantea (Lindl Rild), also known as the pearl spread and the orchid belt. This is a orchid species that often flowers right in the spring, so it is called nghinh spring lan. Because it is a single-spread orchid, with large wind roots (roots grow out of the air), it is necessary to grow with wood charcoal, coconut fiber . very open. They are suitable for growing and grafting up tree bundles into tree branches, or growing in wooden baskets .
Normally this plant is very fond of moisture (about 70-80% moisture). After flowering, if it does not meet the humidity, it will make the roots and leaves shrink and it is difficult to recover. If newly planted, it is recommended to irrigate fertilizer number 1 (high protein fertilizer) or fraction 2 (medium-neutral fertilizer and NPK) concentration of 1-2 grams / liter of water. Water should be watered twice a day, watered in the early morning and cool in the afternoon. Want to spread the forest to bloom trees on the occasion of Tet, the whole year must take care of the lush plants by watering, fully fertilizing and putting in suitable light.
