What do you need to pay attention to when raising orchids on the balcony at home?

I like to raise orchids, and if you raise orchids on the balcony, the first thing is to put them in the right place. It should be placed in a position that is neither constantly exposed to the sun nor never exposed to the sun. If you are exposed to the sun regularly, the orchid is a delicate plant that can easily be sunburned.

Even if they are not sunburned, the leaves can be sunburned and even withered.

If you never get the sun and are too damp, you may also raise a pot of orchids, because the roots may rot in the soil, which is very deadly.

Also, if you put it on the balcony, you should also consider a watering problem. If left in a place where rain can be poured out, the orchid may rot its roots and die during the rainy season. If it is placed in a place where it does not rain, there is a risk that you will die of thirst because you have forgotten it and not watered it.

Finally, if you put the pot with orchids on the balcony, you have to consider one more problem - don't let the pot fall, it's one thing to hit people, and the orchid will die if you smash it.

First of all, the temperature of oxidation, the temperature in summer and autumn is higher, do not let the orchid directly let the sun shine, after 8 o'clock in the morning, before 5 o'clock in the evening need to be covered with a shade net, after five o'clock in the morning can let it properly bask in the sun, the temperature in winter is low, when there is frost or rain and snow weather, be sure to move indoors, the temperature in the winter room is not less than two degrees, watering orchids like a humid environment to grow, choose to water at 9 o'clock in the evening or in the morning in summer, under normal circumstances, you can water once every 3 to 7 days, The dryness and humidity in the pot must be mastered, the air permeability must be good, and in short, raising flowers also requires patience.

Orchids on the balcony, pay attention to shade, orchids like shade, when raising orchids, you should consider the shade of orchids, you can plant some climbing plants on the balcony, such as creepers, etc., or triangular plums, etc., which can greatly reduce the illumination, but also beautify the balcony environment, both of both. It is also necessary to increase the air humidity, the balcony air flow is large, the temperature is high, the water evaporates quickly, and the growth of bluegrass needs a certain amount of humid air, especially in summer.

How to moisturize is the first big problem encountered in balcony orchid raising, and many orchid friends are worried about it. Moisturizing involves two aspects, one is the moisturizing of orchid planting materials, and the other is the maintenance of air humidity around orchids. What I have to say here is that ventilation and moisturizing are a pair of contradictory problems, if you want to raise a good orchid, the best place is to require both ventilation and moisturizing, if you have to choose one or the other, my point of view is that it is better to sacrifice the moisturizing environment, but also to prefer a ventilated environment.

In order to make up for the crux of the poor moisturizing properties of the balcony, I recommend that the practice is to place a water reservoir around the blue frame to improve the air humidity, the effect is still more obvious, as for the moisturizing of the planting material, it is the wisdom of the benevolent and the wise, the master likes to raise moss on the pot surface, with soft planting material, my practice is to spread small particles of planting material on the basin surface, and try to delay the evaporation of planting water.

Orchids like a warm and moist, ventilated and breathable environment, afraid of strong light, afraid of severe cold, so balcony orchids, need to pay attention to the place is to prevent exposure to the sun, avoid the cold, more ventilation, often moisturizing.

The notes of raising orchids on the balcony are: shade; air humidity; Keep warm and cool down; sterilization and disinfection; Illumination.

1. Shading: Orchid grass likes shade, when raising orchids, it is necessary to consider the shade of orchids, and some climbing plants can be planted on the balcony, such as creepers, etc., or triangular plums, etc., which can greatly reduce the illumination, and also beautify the balcony environment, both of which are both.

2. Air humidity:

The balcony has a large air flow, high temperature, and fast evaporation of water, and the growth of orchid grass needs a certain amount of humid air, especially in summer. Put a few buckets on the balcony, or sprinkle more water on the floor, and if possible, you can install a humidifier.

3. Keep warm and cool down:

In winter, the temperature of the balcony is relatively low, and it is easy to be damaged by the northwest wind and frost, especially the Hanlan, Molan, and Jianlan are more afraid of cold. If you spend the winter on the balcony, you should cover the balcony with a transparent agricultural film, so that you can prevent envy and frost. In the summer, it is necessary to consider cooling down, install wall fans on the wall to enhance air flow, and if you install a sprayer, it will be more effective.

4. Sterilization and disinfection

The balcony is exposed, and the orchid grass is susceptible to outdoor germ infection, so it is necessary to be frequently sterilized and disinfected, and the sterilization of the orchid leaves must be paid attention to; Second, we should pay attention to the disinfection of potting soil.

5. Lighting: The angle of light is different in different seasons, and the balcony is a fixed orientation, so it is very important to deal with the lighting. The best orchid balcony is best to sit in the north and face south, and the south-facing direction is the most ideal when the sun is lacking in the four seasons.

In summer, when the sun is directly above at noon, the balcony can block out the strongest rays. In winter, the temperature is low, but the balcony is lit up by almost noon.

Separate orchid bushes, do not dismantle too sporadically, each bush has at least 3 5 seedlings, preferably annual, biennial and triennial plants remain in the same cluster. The bottom of the pot is covered with a piece of tile to cover the drainage hole, and then gradually filled with bricks, tiles or shells, in which the large gap is filled with mud particles or bean stones, generally about 1 2 1 3 of the height of the pot. The clear height of the upper remainder is about 10 15 cm, which is reserved for the cultivation of soil.

The specific height should be determined according to the species of orchid, the length of the orchid root and the height of the pot. The bedding should not be too dense and too solid, and a little porosity should be retained. It has been proven that some new roots grow well in the pores of the bedding.

On the bedding layer, first fill in 2 3 cm of culture soil, slightly compacted by hand, you can put the orchid upright on it, according to the size of the plant and the pot, you can plant several single plants, 2 bushes, 3 bushes or more bushes in a pot. 3. The bush should be planted into a full momentum. 4 bushes can be planted into a square, and 5 bushes should be arranged into a plum blossom shape.

The roots should be stretched naturally, and the leaves should be draped in all directions. Slowly put the root into the pot so that the root stretches naturally, and try not to touch the inner wall of the pot. After the orchid plant is potted, the posture of the orchid plant is gradually fixed.

If you plant a bunch of potted plants, the old false bulb should be on one side, so that the new shoots have room for development. If there are several clusters in a pot, the old false bulbs of each bush should be relatively concentrated in the middle of the pot, so that there is enough space for new roots and shoots to develop outward. When planting, hold the leaves with one hand, add nutrient soil with the other, and hold the base of the orchid plant slightly upwards to stretch the root system and shake the orchid pot at the same time.

Let the cultivated soil penetrate deep into the rhizosphere; Continue to add soil and shake the pot to adjust the position and height of the plant. Press along the edge of the pot with your hands, but do not hurt the roots too much, continue to add soil and squeeze until the soil on the surface of the pot is 2 3 cm higher than the mouth of the pot, slightly steamed bread shaped. The culture soil should cover the roots of the whole turand and cover it to the base of the pseudobulb, and the depth of the filling soil is traditionally believed

Chunlan should be shallow, Huilan should be deep, but generally not buried and the leaf base on the false bulb is the degree. When the newly-haired orchid grows in the mountains, it leaves a clear mark on the soil surface, which can be used as a standard. The size of the pot should also be commensurate with the size and number of plants, neither large pots and small plants, nor small pots and large plants.

In general, the number of plants is expected to be full after 2 to 3 years. The size of the plant is commensurate with the height of the pot. It is not only conducive to growth, but also meets the requirements of ornamentation.

After planting, you can spread a layer of small stones or moss on the surface of the potting soil, preferably high-quality moss under the forest, which is not only beautiful, but also can regulate the water, and can also protect the leaf surface from being polluted by muddy water, and the new shoots will not be infected with the germs in the soil and rot their hearts; In addition, it can also slow down the erosion of the potting soil by rainwater and keep the potting soil loose. After the planting is completed, the first water must be watered, the potting soil must be soaked, the water droplets should be small, and the impulse should not be large. If it is placed in a basin of water, do not soak it for too long.

Once the potting soil is soaked, the pots are immediately removed and then placed in a shaded place for maintenance.

The main thing is the substrate. It is not possible to plant directly using garden soil. Special acidic soil must be used. If you prepare it yourself, it is to use peat soil + pine bark crushed + perlite + sheep dung, and the ratio is almost 1:1.

Ventilation is the most important thing.

Light, moisture, and temperature are determined according to different orchid species.
