How should I raise my orchids? How should orchids be raised

Different orchids have different methods, but they are generally water-based, and generally orchids prefer water. If you don't lack water, you can basically grow better. It's best to have ** to know which breed it is.

Hello, if you want to flourish orchid farming, it is best to choose a soil with strong permeability and rich in a large amount of organic matter, and then add coarse sand or charcoal to the soil, and put it in the indoor sunny place in spring, summer and autumn, and pour thin water every 1 2 days during the growth period, and drain it during the rainy weather or rainy season.

Orchid breeding fertilization should be used with rotten fertilizer, when the orchid is planted, the real leaf can be applied twice during the thin liquid fertilizer solution, and it is best to apply it at night, during the spring and autumn season, every 20 days or so to apply a phosphorus and potassium fertilizer solution, it is recommended to use potassium dihydrogen phosphate, easy to absorb, good effect. Stop fertilizing in winter.

The soil quality should be loose first, the water control of potted plants should be strict, and the sun should be shaded in late summer and autumn. It's as simple as that.

1. Planting: Excellent varieties should be selected for ground planting, with strong drainage performance and fertile sandy soil. Spraying the soil surface with the new high-fat film can protect moisture and waterproof evaporation, sunscreen and drought resistance, heat preservation and anti-freezing, prevent soil layer compaction, suffocate and isolate the source of diseases and insects, and protect the seedlings to thrive.

2. Light, weeding, watering, fertilization: orchids like shade, should not directly receive too strong light, summer and autumn to shade, orchids have higher requirements for fertilizer and water, keep moist at any time, reasonable fertilization according to demand, spraying new high fat film to protect fertilizer and moisture.

3. Plastic pruning: Orchids mainly cut off dry branches, diseased branches, cross branches, and overly dense branches, which obviously affect the shape of the tree, as well as thin excess flower buds. Apply callus antiseptic film on pruning wounds to protect the growth of wound healing tissues and prevent the infection of rot bacteria.

4. Pest control: common diseases of orchids, white silk disease, anthracnose, scale insects, take reasonable measures, orchids should not use pesticides, use some pollution-free pest control methods, easy to take materials, simple methods, will not pollute, no pollution, no ***, etc.

5. Flowering control: orchid is a precious ornamental plant, the air must circulate, the appearance is beautiful, spraying flowers in the flower buds can promote strong flower buds, petal hypertrophy, gorgeous flower color, rich flower fragrance, and prolonged flowering period.

Cultivation techniques.

It is better to have a small mouth, a deep pot and a large bottom hole for flower pots. Newly dug wild seedlings from the mountains must be planted in tile pots, and can only be replaced with purple sand pots or porcelain pots after 2 or 3 years. First, cover the hole at the bottom of the pot with mussel shells, brown flakes, etc., and add coarse sand, cinder and charcoal to form a steamed bun, accounting for about 1 3 capacity.

Add culture soil about 3 to 5 cm thick. Generally, no base fertilizer is added.

Then put the orchid into the pot, arrange the roots densely, add the mixed fine soil to 2 3 cm away from the pot, lift the orchid plant slightly, and the height is subject to the upper end of the false bulb and the soil surface, not too shallow or too deep. Gently press the potting soil so that the soil is in close contact with the roots, and then use your fingers to compact along the perimeter of the pot to avoid causing cavities when watering. If the top layer is coated with a layer of moss or broken tiles, watering will not easily cause compaction and reduce water evaporation.

The first watering adopts the pot sitting method, so that the pot absorbs enough water. Finally, put the orchid in the shade for about half a month to one month. Watering should be controlled during this time and should not be too wet.

Later, it is placed in half shade and half sun, which is ventilated and can shine into the sun in the morning. The pot should be about 1 meter high and should not be placed on the platform to prevent ants and earthworms from entering through the hole at the bottom of the pot and affecting the growth of orchids. Cultivated soil can be used in the first layer of hillside soil on the mountain, or with fine sand and loam 3:

7. Add 30% humus compost and mix well. The culture soil should be sieved and disinfected before use.

Let me briefly introduce orchids: physiology.

Attributes: Orchids and Orchids are semi-parasitic plants (i.e., somewhere between mushrooms and plants).

Adaptation to the "soil": Since it is a semi-parasitic plant, it relies on its roots to absorb the slightly acidic organic basic nutrients provided by fungi that decay the leaves and on the leaves to absorb scattered light and photosynthesize to produce vegetative growth. Life.

Characteristics: It is afraid of sunlight and light, joy and stuffiness, fear of water and moisture, and can maintain life with ambient air humidity. Grow.

Characteristics: Cool spring and cool autumn is the growth period, hot summer and cold winter are dormant periods, and winter above zero degrees is the germination period.

Cultivation management according to the above four characteristics:

In order to suit the growth attributes of orchids and for the sake of beauty, compaction and moisture absorption, cultivation generally uses 80-90% rotten leaf bark + 10-20% clay ball (also completely 100% rotten leaf bark) to make "soil", and the pot should use unglazed tile pots (or larger caliber plastic pots), in fact, the so-called "orchid special pots" with narrow and slender space do not conform to the ecology of orchids, which is just to achieve the purpose of foil appreciation, and breeding and raising orchids are still better in larger pots.

In particular, it is pointed out that because "raising orchids first nourishes qi", the rotten leaf bark can only be used for four years, and the new rotten leaf bark must be replaced after four years, because the rotten leaf bark after four years has no active substances for the orchid to "parasitize", and the rotten leaf bark after four years has become a peat soil with poor air permeability and water permeability.

Watering: Do not dry or water, watering is watering thoroughly. Depending on the climate, it is generally watered once every ten days and a half months. Do not water orchids on rainy days, orchids are afraid of water but like humid air, in hot and dry weather it is best to spray a small amount of mist water on orchid leaves at noon and evening.

Fertilization: From January to February, water fully fermented light rice water or light chicken, duck and fish to make rotted slightly acidic fertilizer water.

In particular, it is pointed out that orchids do not directly absorb nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and the application of light organic fertilizers is to raise humus bacteria, so alkaline fertilizers and chemical fertilizers should not be applied.

Light: Avoid direct sunlight, place it in a place with abundant scattered light, and wipe off the dust on the leaves with a clean rag every half month to facilitate the beauty of the leaves and fully absorb the light.

In areas with severe cold, although orchids can tolerate temperatures of -8 degrees in the natural environment, when the temperature drops to 5 degrees, it is necessary to carry the potted plant into a well-lit place in the house in time to overwinter (it can be warmed up on a sunny day to let it see the winter sun), so as not to be frozen through the potting soil and roots by the temperature below zero and die (wild ground temperature).

——Knowing this, it is actually very easy to raise orchids in Jinan.
