How to raise orchids to bloom, how to raise orchids to bloom

If you want your orchids to bloom, you need to prepare porous pots with good air permeability and soft and fertile sandy loam soil.

The orchid in the traditional Chinese famous flower only refers to several species of native orchids distributed in the Chinese orchid genus, such as Chunlan, Huilan, Jianlan, Molan and Hanlan, which are commonly referred to as "Chinese orchids". This kind of orchid is very different from the tropical orchid with large and colorful flowers, no eye-catching showiness, no huge flowers and leaves, but it has a simple and quiet, elegant and noble temperament, which is very in line with the aesthetic standards of the Orientals.

Because orchids do not have strict temperature requirements, it is okay to keep them in the open air during the milder spring, summer and autumn, and move them to the shade in the summer when the UV intensity is high. In winter, it is best to keep it indoors, even outdoors to keep it open, well-ventilated and moist, to have plenty of light time indoors, preferably on the sunny side, and to be careful to place it on a flower stand or table and stool, not on the ground.

Orchids prefer a semi-shady environment and are afraid of direct sunlight, so they need proper shade when breeding. In early to mid-April, the light intensity is low, so you can increase the irradiation time appropriately, and the illumination should be controlled after late April. After entering the summer from June to September, it is necessary to do a good job of shading measures to make it grow naturally in a semi-shaded state, and the weather becomes cooler in October, and the shade time can be reduced after the sun is scorching and the heat is reduced, and more sunlight can be accepted.

Every plant is afraid of waterlogging, and if it rains too much, the water in the pot can easily lead to waterlogging and death. It can rain lightly, but avoid mildew, showers, and continuous rainy weather, especially in the south. In the rainy season, you should take shelter from the rain in time, and at the same time pay attention to draining the heat in the pot, otherwise it will damage the orchid, and you can sprinkle some plant ash to adjust the humidity.

For orchids, it is enough to reach eight points of humidity each time. In its growth period, attention should be paid to timely replenishment of water, and the amount of watering should be reduced at the stage of leaf bud extraction and flowering. In winter, orchids will enter a dormant period, at which time less or no watering should be done.

Orchids need to control temperature, light, moisture, soil, and fertilizer for flowering.

1. Temperature

It prefers a warm environment. Generally speaking, the temperature in spring and autumn is suitable for its growth, and in summer you need to be careful not to be damaged by ultraviolet rays, and you should pay attention to proper shade. In winter, it should be kept close to room temperature.

It is suitable for indoor breeding, and pay attention to the humid and circulating air.

2. Illumination

Need plenty of light, but fear of direct sunlight. It should be kept in a semi-cool place. Pay attention to the time of illumination. In autumn, you can get sunlight all day long.

3. Moisture

It does not have particularly high moisture requirements. As long as the humidity is 8 points, it is fine. Do not get too wet, as this may cause the plant to drown due to excessive moisture.

Continuous rainy days are not suitable and need to be relocated to a place where it will not rain often. In winter, you can not water or water less. It can be sprayed 2-3 times in summer.

4. Soil

It is generally more suitable for acidic soils with rotting leaves. The pH is more suitable in between. If it is higher, it is not suitable for its growth.

5. Fertilizer

Just give it the right amount of fertilizer. It likes fertilizer but can't fertilize more. It is usually given diluted water fertilizer. It can also be applied with rice washing water at home. It can help it grow better.

Orchid flowering time

Melan: The flowering period is usually from October to March. Chunlan:

It usually blooms from January to March. Huilan: It usually blooms from March to May.

Jianlan: Tenacious vitality, not afraid of cold and heat. It blooms from May to December.

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

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.

Soil selection, using 5:3:2 humus, garden soil, coconut brick mixed configuration; Light temperature, suitable temperature in 18 25, like long sunshine; Watering frequency, once in spring and autumn 3 to 5 days, once in summer 1 2 days, and once in about 7 days in winter; Reasonable fertilization, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer is applied once a month during the growth period.

1. Soil selection.

When planting orchids in pots, choose large-grain culture soil, which is loose and breathable, and has good drainage ability, which is conducive to growth and flowering. 5:3:

2. Mixed configuration of humus, garden soil, and coconut bricks, disinfect after the configuration is completed, and put it in a ventilated and cool place, you can add well-rotted organic fertilizer to the soil to improve soil fertility, and lay a layer of small gravel at the bottom of the pot when planting.

2. Light temperature.

The suitable growth temperature of orchids is 18 25, they like sufficient light, and are suitable for breeding in a bright location, and cannot be in a dark environment for a long time, which will affect the growth of flower buds. When farming, it needs to be shaded in the hot summer and placed in semi-shade, and indoor cultivation is needed in winter to protect the roots and facilitate flowering in the next year.

3. Watering frequency.

Orchids like water, afraid of waterlogging, reasonable watering can make the flowers more delicate, observe the soil, and wait until the soil surface is 2 3cm down when it is dry, and then replenish water. Watering once every 3 5 days in spring and autumn, water evaporates quickly in summer, watering once every 1 2 days, reducing watering in winter, an average of about once every 7 days, pay attention to the amount of water to prevent water accumulation.

4. Reasonable fertilization.

Orchids like to grow in fertile soil, especially in the growing season, which requires a large amount of fertilizer, and supplements sufficient nutrients are conducive to promoting flowering. Generally, spring and autumn are the growing period, it is necessary to apply phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer with high nitrogen content, an average of once a month, use a large amount of water to dilute when fertilizing, water the soil with liquid fertilizer, apply thin fertilizer frequently, and avoid fertilizer damage.
