The method of making the spring orchid bloom, how to make the spring orchid bloom on New Year s Day

Difficulty flowering? Keep these 3 points in mind, and it will bloom quickly and fill the pot.

The spring orchid, as the name suggests, is an orchid that only blooms in spring, but although it blooms in spring, it does not show its flower posture on New Year's Day. Its flowering period is much shorter than other types of flowers, generally speaking, it blooms in February and March of the same year, and it only blooms for less than a month, so how do we make it open when we want to see it? This requires some tricks, and then I will tell you how to enjoy the beautiful flowers of Chunlan on New Year's Day.

Light Factor Most plants grow without sunlight. But some plants don't really like sunlight, so they don't have to rely too much on sunlight. Chunlan is a member of these plants, Chunlan generally prefers to be in a cool environment, it is a negative plant, usually not suitable for too much sunlight.

In order to speed up its flowering, we shade it by about 90% 3 months before it is about to bloom. And lowering the temperature below 12 degrees Celsius will make it think that it is now in a cold state of winter, so that it can enter the vernalization stage earlier, and in doing so, it will allow it to bloom almost a month earlier.

Temperature factor The right temperature can also greatly catalyze the growth rate of Chunlan, so what should be the most suitable temperature for Chunlan? What kind of temperature can make it bloom faster? Chunlan does not like too high temperatures, and when the temperature of the environment it is in is higher than 15 degrees, its normal flowering will be greatly affected, almost to the point of stopping growth.

The growth rate of spring orchids can reach their maximum at 5 to 10 degrees, and the flowering rate will be greatly accelerated in that range.

During the flowering period of Chunlan, it is necessary to reduce watering for it, watering it once every other week to keep the soil moist, and to place Chunlan in a light and ventilated environment to avoid direct strong light, if there are too many buds of Chunlan, it needs to be removed, improve the air permeability between plants, and let Chunlan grow healthily.

1. Reduce watering

During the flowering period of Chunlan, the amount of watering should be reduced, and the water mist can be sprayed around the plant to ensure the humidity in the air, so that the Chunlan can absorb the nutrients needed during the growth process, but the water can not be poured on the petals when watering to prevent the petals from being stained with water and rotting.

2. Remove the dense buds

If the number of buds of Chunlan is large, it needs to be removed, and the part of the rhizome with multiple buds is removed, otherwise the buds will compete for nutrients and fall off, resulting in the failure of Chunlan to bloom normally.

3. Lighting conditions

During the flowering period of the spring orchid, it should be placed in a place with soft light, so that the plant can better photosynthesize, which is conducive to the normal flowering of the spring orchid, but it should not be irradiated under strong light to avoid the wilting of the flowers.

4. Scientific fertilization

If the plant lacks nutrients and the branches and leaves wilt, you can apply compound fertilizer rich in organic matter to the spring orchid, but the fertilizer can not be dripped into the stamens of the spring orchid.

"Three points of planting, seven points of nourishment"This is the experience of the ancients in raising orchids. The quality of maintenance is related to whether the orchid is flourishing and whether it can bloom, so it makes sense that the predecessors attached great importance to it. Here's how to conserve and manage orchids.

1. Place The place where the orchid is placed is very important, and it directly affects the growth and development of the orchid. Orchids are generally placed in the open field in spring, summer, and autumn (in the shade of the open field in summer) and indoors in winter. It is best to be outside in an open area with humid air.

There should be plenty of light indoors, preferably facing south. In this way, it is beneficial for orchids to grow. It is best to place the orchid basin on a wooden frame or table, not on the ground.

2. Shade Orchids are mostly semi-negative plants, and most species are afraid of direct sunlight and need proper shade. Orchids can be exposed to more sunlight in early to mid-April to promote their growth. Proper shade should be provided after late April.

The varieties with erect leaves in the summer orchid and autumn orchid should be placed in the south of the shade place, so that they can be exposed to more sunlight. Weeping autumn and spring orchids are better exposed to two hours of light every day. From June to September, shade should be provided early every day, such as reed curtains can be used dense curtains or two layers of thin curtains. After October, the weather becomes cooler and the sun is weaker, so you can postpone the shading, but you still need to pay attention to the shading work around noon.

3. Rainproof Orchids can be drenched in light rain, but they should avoid mildew rain, showers or continuous rain. In the mildew rainy season, it is especially necessary to do a good job of rain prevention. From late June to mid-September, showers are common.

If the rain is short and the rainfall is small, you should water more in the evening to let the heat in the pot be discharged, otherwise the orchid will be damaged, and even the roots will rot and die. If the sun comes out again after a shower, shade should be taken in time to prevent the rise of heat on the ground and affect the growth of orchids. In the rainy season, it is the stage when orchids extract leaf buds, and if the potting soil is too warm, the leaf buds will not grow well or cause diseases.

At this time, a small amount of plant ash can be sprinkled to adjust the moisture of the potting soil. Fourth, watering The flower proverb says:"Dry orchid wet chrysanthemum"There is some truth to this.

Generally speaking, orchids are best in eight parts dry and two parts wet. If it is too wet, it is easy to cause the flowers to rot and die. The principle of watering should be:

If it is dry, it will be watered, and if it is wet, it will be stopped, and it will be appropriately dry. Specifically, it should be noted that more watering should be done during the growing period (May to the end of June), less watering should be done at the budding stage (about March to April) and flowering period (about March to April), and less watering should be done during the dormant period (winter).

Pots with large pots and small orchid plants should be watered less, and potted plants with large plants should be watered more. When the climate is hot and dry, it should be watered more appropriately, and when it is cold and humid (such as mildew rainy season, etc.), it should be watered less or no watering. If the orchid is newly dug from the mountain, if the root system is sparse or there are many broken roots, it should be watered less to make the potting soil dry a little, so that the roots will not rot, which is conducive to extracting new leaves.
