Additionally, proper support is essential for orchids with long or heavy flower spikes. Florists use stakes or trellises to support the stems and prevent them from bending or breaking under the weight of the blooms. This support not only protects the flowers but also enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the orchid display.
Furthermore, regular repotting is necessary to prevent overcrowding of roots and maintain optimal growing conditions. Florists carefully transplant orchids into larger pots with fresh growing medium, providing the roots with room to expand and access essential nutrients. This rejuvenates the orchids and promotes continued growth and flowering.
Moreover, pest management is crucial for protecting orchids from common pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Florists employ various methods such as insecticidal soaps, neem oil, or biological controls to manage pest infestations effectively. By staying vigilant and proactive, florists safeguard the health and beauty of their orchids.
