What do orchids like, I wonder, and this weekend I give them a treatment

avatar

There comes a time when winter is replaced by spring, and immediately after that by summer.
During that period, I bring out the orchids that spent the winter in the apartment, withdrawn to winter, to the open terrace.
In order for them to recover after the winter period and maybe give me beautiful flowers this summer, as they did last year when I posted the pictures in this post, it is now becoming common to give them a transplant treatment.

I know that an orchid is a parasite that attaches itself to the bark of a tropical tree with its veins and thus collects the moisture it needs.

For this reason, the previous time, I went outside, in parks and forests, and looked for suitable pieces of tree bark that I inserted into their pots.
This time, I found the original Soil mix for orchids, just what they need.

The action is familiar to me, I empty the pot, shake out all the soil that is between the veins of the orchid and after that proceed to remove the diseased and rotten parts of the veins.

With sharp scissors, which I have previously sterilized, I cut the old branches that have already produced flowers, in order to allow new ones to grow.

I wash the plastic suction cup, and pour a little soil on the bottom.

I insert the root part of the plant with the veins into the pot and after that, by adding small amounts of soil, I fill the pot to the end.

First, second, third, fourth...

After half an hour, all four were transplanted.
They are going to be immersed in the drained water, so that the soil absorbs the moisture, and after that, I place them on the terrace, where they will spend the warm part of the year.

Judging by the appearance of the new leaves that are growing, as well as the new branches that are emerging, I think that they like repotting once a year.

I like it, because that's what I like to do.

I hope you like my post, and that the instructions from this little #diy project of mine will be useful to you, and if you have any recommendations for me or if I'm not doing something right, please let me know in the comments, to save these plants from me 😀

Our move?
🔹 Unite voices: Use #bilpcoin or #bpc to highlight censorship & demand accountability.
🔹 Document abuse: Share evidence of unfair downvotes, self-voting scams, and double standards.
🔹 Push for reform: Advocate for transparent governance, vote caps, and community-driven rules.

Decentralization isn’t just a feature—it’s a fight. Let’s model fairness, rally allies, and pressure Hive to live up to its ideals.

You know what? I've never had orchids, but they're my mother's favourite flowers. In Argentina, neither the soil nor the climate were suitable, but here in Spain I see that many people have them, and your post is ideal for reading carefully and learning how to care for them properly. I thought it was more complicated, but you've made it simple in your explanation.

I went to see your post from last year, and thinking about how they produce such wonderful flowers makes me want to have several. I only have a balcony, which isn't even a terrace, and it doesn't get very cold here, so I think it would work. I loved seeing the step-by-step guide and learning that there is special soil for them. Thank you!

Thanks 🫶
I am glad that you liked my posts, that you found valuable and useful advice in them, and I will be especially glad if you decide to buy at least one orchid.
Just because of the beauty of its flowers (which last from a month to two), I nurture them throughout the year.
If you don't have space on the balcony or terrace, you can also keep them on the window, where there is no direct sun, because they like light without the sun and a temperature of 25°C (in Spain it will hardly be only 25°C now that summer has started 😀 but with enough moisture, they will survive). During the winter, just keep them away from the direct heating source and don't worry, your mother's favorite flowers will decorate your home as well.

wow nice orchid. I remember we use to have many orchid plants in our backyard because my grandma likes to plant it too. She always gets angry because we pick some petals from it, hehe hope i can learn how to plant it too. Is it difficult?

I have never planted an orchid.
I buy it in the flowering stage and just maintain it so that it blooms again. If you decide to grow it from seeds or pelts (from which it already grows), share it with us 🙂
