How should you water orchids in winter? How often do orchids need to be watered in winter?

The orchid is simple, the leaf color is evergreen, and the leaf quality is soft and rigid; The flowers are fragrant and clear, and narcissus, calamus, chrysanthemum and called the four elegances of flowers, have extremely high ornamental value. However, orchids are more delicate and difficult to raise. In particular, the winter management requirements are very detailed.

It should generally depend on the orchid species, growth status and local climate.

Do it moist but not wet, dry but not dry, watering can not be too much or too little, and master the principle of "not dry in autumn and not wet in winter". In winter, the temperature is low, the plants are dormant, watering should be controlled, generally can be watered once a month or so, but Melan blooms in winter, it needs more watering. Orchids are common indoor flowers, but it is not easy to raise orchids, especially orchid watering, which requires everyone to continue to explore and summarize their own set of watering tips.

To raise orchids, remember that autumn is wet and winter is dry. In winter, orchids enter the dormant period, and the amount of watering should be appropriately reduced. It is better to take the potting soil to be damp, and the best time for watering is:

The pot surface planting material is dry but not dry, and the bottom hole of the pot can be watered when it is moist but not wet, and it is advisable to water at noon. Nowadays, home potted plants are mixed with hard and soft, so watering must be thorough. Orchids have fleshy roots, and if they are not watered thoroughly, they will be empty due to lack of water.

It should be noted that the water temperature should be consistent with the pot temperature, and the water temperature and the planting material temperature should not exceed 5 degrees. Don't pour it on the leaves and buds.

Do not accumulate water for too long in the bud core.

The temperature is lower in winter, the orchid stops growing, at this time the orchid needs less water, according to the planting material area is different, some areas are a few degrees below zero, this time watering should pay attention to, optimistic about the last week or so, there is no sub-zero, in watering, generally in the noon sun watering is the best, the temperature is above zero in watering to avoid freezing, orchids are more cold-resistant, when the orchid planting material is drier, the orchid root is also drier, can resist minus 4 or so, the planting material is wet and not good, The pot must not be frozen, otherwise it will get frostbite and die of the whole plant severely! In winter, remember to prefer dry to wet.

First of all, the orchid should be kept in the sun to avoid frostbite; Secondly, the water temperature should not be too high or too low, 4 10 degrees is the best; Finally, orchids are dormant in winter, just wet the leaves, keep them moist, and don't water them too much.

Domestic orchids are not as protected by ground temperature as wild orchids, and have deciduous covers. Domestic orchids still need to be moved indoors for protection when the temperature is low (below zero) in winter, and some orchid friends have been raising orchids indoors. Generally speaking, if the indoor temperature is not very high, the natural growth pattern of orchids will not be disturbed, and it will still be dormant when it is time to dormant in winter.

Orchids do not require much water in winter, and it is generally enough to keep the planting material in a moist state, even if it is slightly dried occasionally, the orchid will not have a big impact. The respiration and water absorption ability of the winter half leaf is also greatly reduced, so you can't simply rely on spraying foliar water instead of watering, when you find that the planting material needs to be watered, you can water it fiercely, and then leave it alone for a period of time, as long as it does not freeze, it will be fine.

Whether the orchid should be watered or not can be judged according to the different appearances of the leaves. The leaves are firm, indicating that the potting soil is moderately dry and wet, and does not need to be watered; The orchid leaves are soft and drooping, indicating a slight lack of water, and can not be watered temporarily; Physiological wilting of leaves, indicating moderate water shortage, indicating that the potting soil has dried up, is a signal that water needs to be replenished, and it must be watered thoroughly in time; Leaf dehydration, indicating that there has been a lack of water for many days, should not be watered immediately, can be sprayed to the foliar surface every day, after 2 to 3 days of relief and then watered thoroughly.

From the planting material, the size of the pot, the north and the south, etc., let's talk about the problems that should be paid attention to in raising orchids in winter.

Water every 5 to 7 days.

Practice has proved that orchids are eight points dry, two points wet is the best, and the flowering period and the leaf bud stage should be watered less. During the rainy season, you should move back indoors or build a shelter to protect yourself from the rain. In summer, it should be watered early in the morning or evening, not too much, and the amount of watering in autumn can be increased as appropriate.

During the dry season, spray every evening. When spraying, it should be sprayed upward, so that the fog point is fine and even, so that the leaf surface is moist, the ground is moist, and the air humidity is increased.

Sometimes it is best to spray several times a day, and watering should be watered from the edge of the pot, not poured on the head, not at noon. Although watering in winter can be greatly reduced, but not without watering, pay attention not to let the potting soil dry out, winter is not early spring and watering causes the leaf sheath to be wet, to be moved indoors after drying, so as not to rot.
