How to raise Mo Lan orchid ?

The best variety of orchids to raise, flowering does not need to be vernalized, and it will bloom as soon as it is cold.

First, the soil, the best soil of Molan is mainly humus, with some bark, river sand, etc., so that the soil is loose, breathable and nutritious, and it is very good to raise Molan, with good soil, Molan will grow better, it can be said that good soil is the basis for raising Molan.

Second, watering, the watering of Molan is generally watered once every 3 or 4 days in spring and autumn, and it can be watered once a day in summer, but pay attention to the flowers when watering, and do not water the flowers when flowering, so as not to drop the flowers and cause rot. Watering the soil or spraying the leaves. Reducing watering in the winter is fine once a week.

If you use tap water to water Molan, you can leave it for 2 days before watering it, so as not to have a bad effect on the root system caused by the chlorine in the tap water. Moran is not drought tolerant, so it should be watered immediately after the soil is dry to avoid dry leaves and yellow leaves, which will affect the ornamental value.

Third, fertilization, Molan fertilization to thin fertilizer diligent application is good, the use of organic fertilizer, the time point of fertilization should be grasped in sunny weather, cloudy and rainy days do not fertilize, so as not to cause damage to the root system, rotten roots will appear.

Fourth, light and temperature, the light requirements of Molan are the best astigmatism semi-shaded environment, Molan can be lit all day in spring, the temperature is suitable in spring, and the light intensity is not large. The summer and autumn sunlight is strong, not suitable for all-day sunshine, can be placed under the eaves, morning and evening sun, noon to block the sun, more suitable for the growth of Molan. The optimum temperature is around 25 to 28 degrees, too low for slow growth, and too high for dormancy.

In winter, it is necessary to take heat preservation to promote, otherwise it will freeze to death.

Fifth, potting soil replacement, the growth of Molan needs to replace the soil and pots, with the increase of growth time, the nutrients of the soil will be consumed a lot, affecting the growth of Molan, so that its ornamental value decreases. The longer the orchid grows, the more the pot needs to be replaced, and the appropriate size pot is replaced so that the orchid has enough space to grow.

Concern. Melan, also known as the New Year Orchid, has a long flowering period from October to March of the following year, and is an indigenous plant of the orchid family.

1. Soil selection.

The soil requirements of Molan are similar to those of other orchid plants, which are rich in humus and slightly acidic, loose, fertile, with good drainage function and fertilizer retention.

2. Light management.

Mo Lan prefers a semi-shady growing environment, with weak sunlight in winter and soft sunlight in spring, which is the most suitable for the growth of orchids, and can be given full sunlight. The sun is strong in summer and autumn, and it needs to be properly shaded.

3. Temperature control.

The suitable temperature for the growth of Melon is between 20 and 27 degrees Celsius, with slow growth at minus 10 degrees Celsius, rapid growth above 25 degrees Celsius, and dormancy at temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius.

Fourth, fertilization methods.

Molan fertilization is suitable for light fertilizer and thin application, do not heavy fertilizer, generally start fertilization in late spring, and stop fertilization in late autumn. Fertilizer to compound fertilizer or flower fertilizer, rotting cake fertilizer water, fertilizer temperature as far as possible at 18-25 degrees Celsius when fertilization, every two weeks or so, spray a small amount of water after fertilization, to prevent fertilizer from polluting the leaves.

If you go to a bookstore, you can just buy a book on how to raise orchids, which is as thick as a textbook. Orchids are still quite difficult to raise. Mo Lan is relatively easy, but it is not easy.

First of all, the temperature is very critical, 15-25 degrees, no matter how high or low. Secondly, there is plenty of light, but you can't dry it, and you can't do it at all. Ventilation is a must, and as soon as you close the window indoors, it will be finished in a few days.

The water is not easy to be too much, and pesticides are often used for insecticide, sterilization, and pesticides. Fertilizer, orchids have special orchid fungus fertilizer, you have to spend money to buy.

I think orchids are still very beautiful. When raising orchids, then make sure that there is plenty of sunshine. And the moisture must be appropriate. Drawings must also be fertile. In this way, it will basically be raised very well. The main thing is that you can do these three things.

That is, the soil must choose the kind of nutrient soil with better water permeability and air permeability, and then it is more ventilated, not exposed to the sun, and not watered frequently.

1. Soil: Molan prefers a moist soil environment, and it is best to choose acidic soil that is not sticky and heavy, and has good air permeability, which can make its roots grow better.

2. Light: Properly receive sunlight, but take good shade measures in summer, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and even stop growing. It is best to let it be exposed to astigmatism, the sun is not too strong, and in winter it is necessary to increase the sun exposure appropriately, but pay attention to the temperature to avoid frostbite.

3. Fertilization: Its requirements for fertilizer are not strict, even if it is not fertilized, it can grow normally. You can choose to apply thin liquid fertilizer to it in the spring and autumn of each year, and when it enters the dormant period, there is no need to continue fertilizing.

4. Temperature: Under normal circumstances, the temperature should be controlled at 20-28, below 20 the growth will become slow, and above 30 will be dormant. In winter, the temperature should be controlled at 10-16 during the day and 5-10 at night.

5. Watering: It is best to use rain or snow water for Molan, if you must use tap water to water Molan, you must be exposed to the sun for a day before you can apply it. Use a watering can for watering, and do not spray water into the flower buds to avoid causing rot. In summer, it is necessary to avoid showers and use film to block the rain.

When raising Molan, it is necessary to pay attention to the four conditions of reasonable light, suitable temperature, supplemental nutrition, and reasonable watering, and adjust the four conditions to flower.

1. Reasonable light.

In order to promote the differentiation of flower buds and bloom smoothly, Moran must see the light reasonably, and during the maintenance period, it must be given bright astigmatism light, through the action of sunlight, it can promote the accumulation and synthesis of nutrients, and promote the smooth flowering of Melan. Although you should see more sunlight and not lack sunlight, you must not be exposed to sunlight and must avoid strong light.

Second, the appropriate temperature.

Mo Lan likes warm environments, which can promote flowering in a suitable climate, and it is best to keep the temperature at about 20 degrees, and there can be no low or high temperatures. It is also necessary to have a certain temperature difference, and keep the temperature difference between day and night at about 10 degrees, which will make it easier to bloom and can play a role in promoting flowering.

3. Supplement nutrition.

Flowering requires a lot of nutrients, so in order to promote flowering, it is necessary to supplement enough nutrients and apply thin fertilizer every other month during the growing season. Before flowering, you can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the foliage, which can also supplement nutrients to promote flowering.

Fourth, reasonable watering.

It prefers a moist growth environment, so you must pay attention when watering, you can't water too much to make the potting soil too wet, you can water regularly to keep the potting soil dry. Note that the flower buds are differentiated in July and August every year, and you can pay attention to water control at this time.

Common reasons for not flowering:

There is less nitrogen and phosphorus in the planting material, which leads to excessive physiological growth and inhibits the reproductive growth transformation required for flowering, resulting in only long leaves and no flowering. Orchids like shade does not mean that they do not need light, which is the basis for maintaining physiological activities. When the orchid has enough light, the various nutrients required for the growth state will be sufficient, and the conditions required for flower bud differentiation will be complete.

Get enough nutrients.

If you want to promote the differentiation of flower buds, you must see the light reasonably, and give bright starving light during the maintenance period, but you must not be exposed to the sun, and you must avoid strong light. Mo Lan likes to be warm, and keeps the temperature at about 20 degrees Celsius every day, and the temperature difference between day and night is about 10 degrees. Apply a thin fertilizer every month during the growing season, and spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the foliage before flowering.

Compared with other orchids, the root system of Mo Lan is relatively thick and developed, and the root system is relatively long. The pots should be slightly larger and deeper. It is recommended to use a "stick pot" with a diameter that is not very large, but is tall and thin.

It is best to use purple sand pots or clay pots with good air permeability and water permeability. Flower pots are also a key to Mo Lan's stupid roots.

Watering and fertilizing

If you want to raise Molan to bloom, then when watering, you must pay attention not to accumulate water and rot the roots, and do not lose water and dry the roots. When watering, you can judge by observing the color of the red jade soil in the planting material. The color of the red jade soil will become dark red when it is wet, and the color will become light when it is rotten and dry.

According to the color of the planting material, "if it is not dry, it is watered, and it is watered thoroughly".

Mo Lan likes fertilizer but does not like big fertilizer, it is recommended to use organic fertilizer with long fertilizer effect and mild fertilizer when fertilizing. When fertilizing, it is recommended to use ripe rice washing water every month, dilute 3 times with water to directly irrigate the roots on the flower soil, fertilize the phosphorus and potassium one month before the flowering period, it is recommended to use "potassium dihydrogen phosphate" 1200 times aqueous solution in the case of normal use of organic fertilizer, foliar spray.
