In April, many orchids will be in glorious flower. You’ll notice increased growth and new roots and foliage as spring is at full steam ahead. You’ll be busy tending your orchids. Remember the following:

 You’ll probably have to increase the frequency of your watering because of the new plant growth.

 As soon as you see new roots emerging in cattleyas, repot. Do it before the roots grow a few inches (5 cm) long.

 Many other orchids showing new growth can also be repotted at this time.

 Be on the lookout for bugs. The warmer temperatures cause them to hatch.

 Dormant orchids should be showing new growth now so you can resume your regular watering schedule.

 If you didn’t apply shading on your greenhouse last month, it may be needed now.

 A gauze curtain may be needed to soften the light for orchids growing in a south window.
