How to water and fertilize orchids in winter, how to water orchids in winter

Watering orchids in winter also needs to be watered thoroughly to keep the soil slightly moist. However, the frequency of watering should not be too high, and the interval time is relatively longer than in other seasons, and it can be watered once every five to seven days. In addition, because the winter is cold, it is not possible to use cold water directly, but to use warm water, and it is best to water it at noon when the weather is clear.

Be careful not to water too much to avoid stagnant water and frostbite of the plant. After each watering, the plants can be exposed to the sun to reduce the possibility of frostbite. In addition, orchids are generally cultivated indoors in winter, which will be relatively dry, so it is necessary to spray them with some water to enhance the humidity of the air around them.

Bluegrass prefers a warm environment, with cooler temperatures in winter, slower growth rates, and may even stop growing. If the temperature cannot be well controlled, it is recommended to stop fertilization. Mainly do a good job of temperature control, especially in the northern region.

If the temperature can be guaranteed to be within the normal range, a small amount of fertilizer can be supplemented. Fertilizers can be available as fast-acting fertilizers, organic fertilizers or foliar fertilizers. Thin fertilizer is applied frequently, so that the plant can be absorbed and grow better.

In winter, orchids should be watered as little as possible, and no fertilizer can be used. Wait for the soil of the pot to dry before watering.

Raising orchids in early winter, watering and fertilizing are particular, and if you do it wrong, the leaf buds and flower buds are easy to wither.

Low temperatures, less watering--- less fertilization.

Orchids need to be watered in winter, although orchids are dormant in winter, physiological activities are almost stopped, and little water is needed, but they still need to be watered properly, and there is some moisture in the cultivation soil.

If the potting soil of the orchid looks very dry, then it is necessary to use a fine-hole watering can to spray a small amount of water on the orchid in sunny and warm weather, so as to ensure that the potting soil is slightly damp, and not to water too much, in case the temperature is low, causing the orchid to be frosted.

Can orchids die if they are not watered properly in winter.

Orchids will die if they are not watered properly in winter, orchids should be watered in winter, otherwise they will have symptoms of leaf dryness and death due to lack of water, first of all, the leaves will be dehydrated and dried off, and secondly, the ball head will lose water and die wrinkled, and finally dehydrated and died, of course, too much watering of orchids in winter will also lead to the death of orchids.

How to fertilize orchids in winter.

In winter, the orchid will enter a dormant state, although the amount of fertilizer is not too much, but it also needs to be fertilized, if the temperature is normal, it can also be fertilized normally, when the temperature is low, it is necessary to reduce fertilization. The fertilizer used can be organic, fast-acting, or foliar spraying on the plants.

Orchid winter watering precautions.

Watering method: watering orchids needs to follow the principle of not drying and not watering, watering is watering thoroughly, so orchids need to be watered thoroughly in winter, but not too much watering, otherwise it will lead to water accumulation and freeze the plant.

Watering frequency: indoor breeding orchids in the north, watering frequency needs to be determined according to the degree of soil dryness of the orchid, after watering it thoroughly, it will generally become drier in about half a month, then you can water.

Orchid watering in winter should pay attention to the watering time, watering quality and watering interval.

When watering orchids in winter, you should choose a sunny day around 10 a.m., when the temperature rises and the ends and sides of the orchid shed can be opened for ventilation. It is very important to be well ventilated when watering.

It is better to face east in the orchid shed (where the orchids are stocked) because the orchids can be dried as soon as the sun comes out. Then the ambient temperature rises quickly in the morning of winter, and there can be more ventilation time for watering at this time. You need to open the orchid shed an hour before watering, so that the temperature inside and outside the orchid shed is basically the same, and do not suddenly pour cold water outside in the warm shed.

2. Watering water quality:

Brook water should be used, and orchid sheds are best built where there is a stream. Streams can bring cool breezes in the summer, creating a large temperature difference between day and night. It is convenient to use it directly when watering orchids in winter, because the temperature of the stream is generally not very different from the outside temperature.

On the balcony of a city where there is no stream, it is okay to water the orchid with running water, but it is necessary to hold it in a bucket for one night so that it is as close to the temperature around the pot as possible (it is almost impossible to be exactly the same). Don't suddenly pour water from the water pipe on the orchid in the warm noon, then the temperature difference is too big for the orchid to stand it.

3. Watering interval:

There is no precise data on this. Each environment and each plant material can lead to huge differences in the time between orchid watering. When the proportion of humus in the planting material reaches more than 50%, if you do not water for 15 days in winter, the middle and lower parts of the potting soil will still be wet.

When the proportion of humus drops to less than 30%, the potting soil will be dry if it is not watered for 10 days, and the soil in the lower part of the pot can be seen to be no moist at this time. When the humus drops to 10%, the orchid basically needs to be watered every 5 days.

1. Correct fertilization: The fertilizer used for orchid fertilization is thin, and too concentrated fertilizer will cause root rot. Orchids should not be fertilized immediately after planting, but should be fertilized in small amounts after they have taken root.

The orchid fertilization season is also particular, and there is no need to fertilize in autumn and winter, but in summer, especially in June and July, a small amount of fertilizer should be applied between the leaky ants, or thin fertilizer.

The second is that the time of fertilization should also be buried well, such as do not fertilize on rainy days, because such weather may lead to orchid rot after fertilization, try to choose the weather when the weather is good, and the other is that the best time to fertilize is in the evening, not at noon or in the morning.

Orchids should be fertilized directly on the roots or in the soil, but do not sprinkle fertilizer on the leaves, as this may cause the leaves to turn yellow or even fall off. In addition, do not water at the time of fertilization, you can water it once the next day.

2. The correct watering method of orchids: first of all, what kind of water should be used to water orchids can not be mistaken, it is best not to use tap water to water directly, to choose rainwater or river water, in rainy days can move orchids out, or hoard some rainwater. Some people may use well water, which is also wrong, because well water contains high mineral salts and is not suitable for watering flowers.

If there is no rain and you can only use tap water, you should expose the tap water to the sun a day before you can use it to water the flowers. There is also the way of watering to master, the leaves can be sprinkled with watering cans, according to the direct watering along the edge of the pot, so that it will be better absorbed.

On rainy days, it depends on the size of the rain, if it is a rainstorm or heavy rain, do not shower directly, if it rains lightly, you can get rain, but the pot can not be searched for stagnant water, once there is stagnant water, it should be poured out immediately. After rain, you should not be exposed to the sun, otherwise it will wither. The second is that in summer, watering should avoid noon, and watering in the morning and evening can be done.

In winter, the orchid will enter a dormant state, at this time the plant does not need too much fertilizer, and generally needs to be fertilized. However, the amount of fertilizer must be reduced, and if it is applied normally, it may cause fertilizer damage. If the breeding environment is relatively warm, such as the temperature is around 18-20, then it can still be fertilized normally.

When fertilizing, you can use organic fertilizer or fast-acting fertilizer, usually you can use soybean cake fertilizer when you raise it at home, or you can buy special fertilizer. Moreover, it is not necessary to fertilize the soil during the winter, and you can also spray some foliar fertilizer on the plants, using potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

1. If the roots of the plant are not healthy in winter, then do not fertilize it first, because the plant itself is problematic, and if you fertilize it again, the roots of the plant will suffer a certain burden.

2. If the temperature of the breeding environment is too low, it must not be fertilized. In addition, when it is too cold, you should also pay attention to keep warm to avoid frostbite on the plants.
