What nutrients do orchids need to bloom?

Generally speaking, sufficient phosphorus fertilizer is conducive to the flowering of knotted buds, but the accumulation of nutrients in the plant itself is also very important, and if the plant is weak, it will not bloom even if more phosphorus fertilizer is applied.

It is best cultivated with orchid mud, which refers to the soil attached to the rocky recesses on the mountain, which is formed by the rotting of plant leaves by wind, rain and sun, and the soil is soft, aerated and slightly acidic. "Qingming"Before and after, the orchid can be exposed to more sunlight, promote hair roots, and sprout more leaves"White dew"Later, when the weather becomes cooler, most of the new grass grows, and more sunlight can be used to promote the full flower buds, so that the orchid plants can accumulate more nutrients for the next year's growth. The length of sunlight exposure directly affects the growth of orchids.

There is more sunlight, the orchid leaves are yellow, the orchid roots are developed, and the flowers are healthy. On the contrary, the leaves of the orchid are dark green, the root system is not developed, and it is not easy to flower. The petals that are exposed to sunlight for a long time are thick, and vice versa, the petals are thin.

However, if it is exposed to excessive sunlight, it may burn the orchid leaves, and even cause dehydration and death. Orchids like to be light, and fertilization is rather light than thick. Like other plants, nitrogen promotes the growth of stems and leaves.

Phosphorus can promote the development of orchid roots, promote the development of reproductive organs, and stretch stems and leaves. Magnesium, sulfur, iron and other trace elements can make the leaves green and the flowers strong. Orchids should be fertilized more during the peak growth period, and no fertilizer should be applied during the dormant period or weak growth period.

If it is over-fertilized, it will burn the roots and leaves, causing irreparable damage

Maintenance methods during the flowering period of orchids:

1. Pruning: After the flowers of most orchids wither, proper pruning should be carried out, in order to avoid the excess part of the plant from consuming nutrients, the stems of the flowers and the withered leaves should be cut off, so that the plants can be covered for better growth. If you just want to appreciate the flowers and don't need the fruit, you can cut it off when the flowers are withering to avoid consuming nutrients and affecting the subsequent growth of the plant.

2. Loosening the soil: After the plant blooms, you can loosen the soil and remove the rotten roots, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the plant.

3. Fertilization: Because this kind of plant consumes a lot of nutrients, some fertilizer should be applied appropriately after flowering, but the amount should not be too much, and the concentration should not be too high. After about a month, normal maintenance is ready for use.

4. Light: After the flowering period, it can be moved to a place with light in the room to avoid the crazy growth of the plant.

5. Watering: Watering should pay attention to the management of the amount, at this time the plant is more likely to rot the roots, generally wait for the soil to dry before giving water.

Orchids during flowering, need to control the amount of water, light and temperature, in the maintenance of orchids, it is best to put the temperature of the environment about 15 to 25 degrees, and 3 to 4 days to water the plant once, after watering can temporarily put the orchid in a astigmatism environment, let it photosynthesize, promote the plant to better bloom.

1. Control the amount of water

During the flowering period of orchids, it is necessary to control the amount of water, it is best to water every 3-4 days, and observe the condition of the soil before watering, and then water according to the dryness and humidity of the soil.

2. Lighting conditions

During the flowering period of orchids, they cannot receive direct sunlight, so when supplementing light to the plants, it is best to place them in a light environment where they are astigmatized, so that the orchids can receive no less than 8 hours of light to maintain the normal growth of the plants.

3. Temperature conditions

During the flowering period of the orchid, it is best to control the temperature of the environment at about 15-25 degrees to create a suitable environment for the plant to grow, which is conducive to the better growth of the orchid, if the temperature of the environment is lower than 10 degrees, the orchid may be frostbitten.

1. Watering: Raising orchids is not the same as other flowers and green plants, its root system is a thick fleshy root, afraid of dry and wet, wet is easy to rot roots, if too dry and easy to empty roots. To keep the inside of the orchid pot slightly moist, the root system can not only keep it strong to get water, but also be able to breathe enough to not rot the roots.

As long as there is no water accumulation in the pot and no shortage of water, the orchid root system will not be damaged, and the orchid can be raised well.

2. Fertilization: Orchid fertilization should be thin fertilizer and diligent application, and the fertilizer must not be too thick. If you want it to bloom more and sprout more, you must supplement nutrients sufficiently.

You can sprinkle some dry sheep manure particles in the pot to fertilize slowly, or some water-soluble fertilizer to supplement nutrients. In the spring and autumn seasons, nitrogen is replenished to promote the growth of plant leaves. Generally, the flower bud differentiation period of orchids is from July and August to November, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate should be applied according to different orchid varieties.

3. Light: The leaves grow in the shade and bloom in the yang, so the leaves of orchids are easy to grow vigorously in a cool environment, but they are not easy to bloom, and they are the easiest to bloom in a slightly better light environment. Many people can certainly make orchids sprout more, but it is relatively difficult to make them bloom more.

Many people raise orchids that often do not bloom, in fact, many times in its flower bud differentiation period does not master the light, fertilization and a little control of water, which is conducive to more flowering during the flowering period. There are also some varieties of orchids that require a period of low temperature before flowering, such as spring orchids that require vernalization.

4. If you want to raise orchids, you must do more work, study the growth habits of orchids and the varieties of orchids in order to raise orchids and make them bloom more.

If you want to make orchids bloom, you need to choose the right pot, soil, pay attention to watering and fertilization, and control the light time.

The caliber of the pot for planting orchids does not have to be very large, but it is best to choose a deep pot, about the material of the pot, there are not many requirements, it is advisable to have a pot with good air permeability, and generally choose a deep purple sand pot, with high appearance and good air permeability. The soil of orchids is very different from other flowers, orchid enthusiasts are mostly their own soil, for novice flower friends, it is recommended to buy fermented pine scales for planting, and generally the merchants who sell orchids will synchronize ** pine scales.

When watering, you can wait for the orchid soil to dry before watering. Summer watering can be done in the morning or evening, and winter watering needs to be watered in the middle of the afternoon when the temperature is high. Orchids like the morning sunshine and don't like the evening sunshine made by their friends.

In summer, when the temperature is high, it can be kept in a cool and ventilated place.

Classification of orchids

It is native to Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou and southeastern to southern Yunnan in China. In a sparse forest or in a bush, on a tree or on a rock wall next to a valley, at an altitude of 100-1100 meters. It is distributed from Sri Lanka to Nepal in the north and Java in Indonesia in the east.

Sclerophylla is native to the southwestern to southern parts of Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan in China, and is found on trees in forests or shrublands that can rise up to 1,600 meters above sea level.

Weeping orchid is native to Taiwan, China, and is born on trees in shady and humid dense forests, at an altitude of 300-1000 meters. It is also found in Sikkim and India. Larch orchid is found in Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan in China, and its habitat is unknown. This species is commonly cultivated in southwestern provinces and regions, and it has also been reported to be found in Zhejiang.

1. Soil: If you want orchids to bloom, you should provide them with soil mixed with humus, vermiculite and perlite. 2. Lighting:

Orchids can be placed in a sunny and ventilated environment to shade them in the summer. 3. Watering: Orchids like moisture, so they should be watered every three days.

4. Fertilization: Spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate for orchids during the bud stage.

1. Suitable soil

In order to make orchids bloom more, fully grasp their growth habits and choose the right soil. Orchids like to grow in loose and breathable, water and fertilizer retention, rich in humus, in the potting soil configuration can be used two parts humus, two parts vermiculite, one part perlite for uniform mixing. In addition, some base fertilizer can be added.

2. Sufficient light

Although orchids are not light-loving plants, they must have a certain amount of light every day. In this way, the photosynthesis of plants can be promoted, which is conducive to the differentiation of flower buds and the purpose of flowering. In summer, it should be placed in a place where light is scattered, and proper shade should be used to prevent branches and leaves from withering from the sun.

3. Watering in moderation

Orchids like to grow in a relatively humid environment, in the watering to ensure that the potting soil is moist, pay attention to each watering to an appropriate amount of water can not have water accumulation. For example, in spring and autumn, it can be watered once every 2-3 days, and in summer, the water evaporates quickly, so it can be watered every day. In winter, it is watered once a week to keep it dry and wet.

Fourth, reasonable fertilization

Fertilizer can promote the growth of orchids more lushly, especially during the growth and flower bud stages. During the growth period, the rotted base fertilizer can be applied once every half month, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be sprayed during the flower bud period to promote the large and colorful flowers. Fertilization should be done in the morning or evening.

If you want orchids to bloom faster, it is best to put the shade of scattered sunlight in spring, autumn and summer, put it indoors in the sunny place, watering should be mainly thin water, and the dry season can be appropriately sprayed with water mist around the periphery, and the growth temperature during the day can be controlled at about 15 25, and the temperature at night can be about 12.

Although orchids like to grow in a sunny environment, it has a strong shade tolerance, and proper scattered sunlight can be conducive to the growth of plants, so it is best to put scattered sunlight in the shade in spring, autumn and summer, and put it in the indoor sunny place in winter, and shade it during midsummer.

The growth of orchids is very strict on the requirements of water, if you want to raise orchids how to raise the best flowers, first of all, watering should be mainly thin water, remember not too much, the rainy season should be drained, in summer it is generally best to water in the morning or evening, and in the dry season, you can properly spray water mist around to increase the humidity of the air.

Orchids like to grow in a climate with a large temperature difference, the appropriate temperature for growth during the day is about 15 25, and the appropriate temperature at night is about 12, so it is best to put the orchid in a cool environment when the temperature is high in midsummer, and it is best to put it in an indoor greenhouse in winter.

The pot for planting orchids is best to be a pot with a large depth and a large bottom hole, and it is best to change the pot every 2 or 3 years.
