Orchid planting methods and precautions

Orchid entry-level breeding methods and precautions are actually very simple, as long as you master these 4 points.

Planting method, dividing propagation, orchids can be planted by dividing plants, and a thin liquid fertilizer needs to be applied 1 week before dividing; When depotting, the pot needs to be tilted, and the seedlings should be divided into several clusters, and then disinfected for later use; In the dividing method, small pits can be dug in the soil and the seedlings can be buried. Precautions: Do shade measures after the potting, and control the room temperature at 16 24.

1. Dividing propagation

Orchids can generally be propagated by dividing plants, which can generally be carried out every 3 years, and can be carried out in spring and autumn every year. A thin liquid fertilizer should be applied once a week before dividing the plants to allow the plants to store enough nutrients to improve the survival rate. Stop watering 3 days before potting for better depotting.

2. Depotting and dividing

When propagating orchids, you need to choose strong seedlings, tilt the pot before depotting, hold the roots with one hand, carefully take it out, shake off the soil at the roots, divide the seedlings into several bushes, each bush needs to have 5 false bulbs, and you can plant after disinfection.

3. Plant in pots

When planting orchids, black mountain mud, peat soil, pine needle soil, and fern roots can be mixed to make a substrate for cultivation. Before potting, you need to dig a small pit in the soil, bury the seedlings, cover them lightly with soil, and gently lift the seedlings after covering half of the soil, so that the soil can fill the gaps in the root system.

Orchids are suitable for growing in a humid and warm environment, and after the potting is completed, shading measures need to be taken to control the room temperature at about 16 24, and it needs to be transferred to a warm indoor maintenance in time in winter to avoid frostbite. Before the rainy season, it is necessary to move it indoors in time to avoid water accumulation in the potting soil, which will cause the root system to rot and blacken.

1. Preparation of soil: When planting orchids, it is necessary to prepare sandy loam soil rich in humus. 2. Seed selection and germination:

Soak the seeds in warm water for 10-20 minutes to allow them to absorb enough water. 3. Sowing and propagation: bury the seeds in the soil and cover them with film.

4. Precautions: Move the orchid to an environment with a temperature of 16-24 degrees to avoid death.

1. Prepare soil

Orchids are suitable for growing in fertile and soft soil, when planting orchids, it is necessary to use humus, vermiculite, perlite in a ratio of 3:1:1 to mix into culture soil, and then apply well-rotted organic fertilizer or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer to the soil, which is conducive to the vigorous growth of orchids.

2. Seed selection and germination:

When planting orchids, you need to choose round and plump and healthy and disease-free seeds, soak them in warm water for 10-20 minutes, let them absorb enough water, improve the germination rate of orchids, and then put orchid seeds into carbendazim to reduce the probability of infection.

3. Sowing and propagating

Orchids are suitable for planting in March and April every spring, when sowing and propagating orchids, it is necessary to spread their seeds evenly on the soil surface, and then cover with a layer of plastic film or glass sheets to increase the temperature of the soil and promote the rapid germination and emergence of orchids.

4. Precautions

The orchid growth temperature is 16 24, the indoor temperature in winter is generally low, 10 12 during the day, 5 10 is best at night, the temperature and humidity can not be too high, and in the summer need to ensure that the temperature does not exceed 30, so as not to die of the orchid.

1. Soil selection: When planting orchids, coarse humus should be used, which can be mixed with an appropriate amount of garden soil, which has better air permeability and nutrients, which is more conducive to later growth.

2. Pot selection: When planting, it is recommended to choose a plastic pot with holes on the side, which has good air permeability and is conducive to watering. Or use a clay basin, the air permeability is also good, but pay attention to the ceramic basin must not be used, neither breathable nor permeable, easy to rot roots.

3. Potting: When planting, put broken tiles at the bottom of the pot to improve drainage, and the soil can not completely cover the false bulb when burying the soil, otherwise it is not conducive to ventilation. Most of the false bulb should be exposed, but not the roots, and it is enough to pile them into a cone.

4. Paving: After planting, a layer of moss or small stones should be spread on the soil, which can regulate water and is also very beautiful. In addition, it slows down rainwater erosion.

1. Light: It is very sensitive to light and cannot be exposed to the sun. When planting, be careful to avoid the bright light at noon, and it is best to plant between 8 and 10 in the morning or between 5 and 7 in the afternoon. In addition, the light time in the later stage should not exceed four hours.

2. Watering: It is best to use rainwater when maintaining and watering, and not tap water directly. Be careful not to pour from the middle, but slowly refill from the edge of the basin.

3. Disease: When the disease is found during the maintenance period, the diseased part should be removed in time, and the corresponding drugs should be sprayed for prevention and control.
