What to pay attention to in the maintenance of potted orchids

After the phalaenopsis flowers are gone, the flower branches are cut off from the base to reduce nutrient consumption and repotted once a year. In spring, cut off the rotten roots when changing pots, and smear the cut with grass ash charcoal powder to prevent rotten roots. The cultivation substrate is mostly moss, alder clippings, charcoal blocks, etc., and the bottom of the pot is mated with foam blocks, charcoal blocks or gravel to facilitate drainage, and after changing the pot, it is maintained in a cool place for a week and then managed normally.

1. Moisture: The air and soil are required to be moist, and watering or spraying should be strengthened in summer, watering should be done in the early morning or at night, and watering should be mastered in the principle of "not dry in summer and autumn, and not too wet in winter and spring". Snow water is the best for orchid watering, followed by river water and pool water, and hard water and alkaline water with too much open matter must not be used.

2. Light: shade-tolerant, semi-shade should be maintained during the growth period, and there should be moderate light in winter, and appropriate shade can be done.

3. Temperature: The general growth temperature is 20-25, and the temperature requirements vary depending on the variety.

Water is the most critical factor in your care. Because water is an indispensable substance for the delivery of nutrients in plants, it also has the role of regulating the temperature in the body during the high temperature season. In the absence of water, the physiological activities of plants will be affected, which will be manifested as wilting and dying of stems and leaves.

On the contrary, if water accumulates, it will affect the respiration of plant roots, resulting in root rot and death. Therefore, watering flowers and plants should be determined according to factors such as season, weather, environmental conditions, plant species, and potting soil permeability. In the process of raising flowers, you should be flexible, think more, and observe more, so that the flowers and plants you raise will have greener leaves, more colorful flowers, and more beautiful shapes.

To maintain orchids, it is necessary to change the pot once in about 1 2 years, and try to replace it in the spring. Be careful when keeping orchids indoors, place them in a cool and ventilated location, open windows regularly for ventilation, but keep them in a stable location in winter. Pay attention to keeping orchids outdoors, the light is too strong in summer, and you need to do a good job of shading the orchids.

Orchids are common ornamental flowers, and they should be repotted regularly during the maintenance period. Orchids can be repotted once in about 1 2 years, and it is suitable for repotting during spring. After repotting, be careful to use loose, fertile and well-drained soil for orchids.

The soil needs to be disinfected before it can be used for orchids.

During the maintenance of orchids, it is necessary to pay attention to give them a warm and ventilated growth environment. Keep orchids indoors by placing them in a well-lit and ventilated area. During the maintenance period, the windows should be opened frequently to maintain indoor air circulation.

During the maintenance period, care should be taken not to place the orchid in a dark and closed place indoors.

If you want to take good care of orchids, you need to give them plenty of light during the growing period. Keeping orchids outdoors can expose them to light and photosynthesize. During the conservation period, it should be noted that orchids are not tolerant to strong light.

During the summer, when the sun is too strong, it is necessary to shade the orchids and move them to a cool and ventilated room for maintenance.

During the winter months, it should be noted that orchids are not cold tolerant and need to be moved indoors to a warm place for maintenance. During the curing period, the temperature of the environment should be stabilized at about 10 degrees, which is conducive to too many orchids. During the maintenance period, it should also be noted that orchids are affected by low temperatures during the winter and will enter a dormant state, which requires water control and fertilizer application.

When cultivating orchids, it is necessary to water unpolluted river water and natural water to keep the soil moist, and it can also provide all-day sunshine for orchids, keep the leaves green, and also prune orchids, using sharp scissors, to cut off the branches and leaves that are not growing well and cannot grow normally, so as to help orchids save nutrients.

1. Replenish water

Orchids are suitable for growing in a more humid environment, when breeding orchids, you need to pay attention to replenishing water for them, it is best to water orchids every three days to keep the soil moist, you can use trace elements rich in river water, natural water, you can also use non-polluting lake water, pure water.

2. Provide nutrients

Orchids in the process of growth of nutrients demand is larger, in the process of maintenance, can be regularly provided with balanced nutrition, so that orchids can grow better, it is best in the orchid growth period, the use of nitrogen fertilizer or rotten organic fertilizer, before and after the orchid flowering period, you can use inorganic fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium elements.

3. Keep the light on

Orchids are suitable for growing in a sunny environment, and can be placed in a sunny environment during maintenance, so that the plants can photosynthesize normally and keep the leaves green. When providing light for orchids, it is necessary to pay attention to the light intensity so as not to burn the leaves and affect their growth due to excessive light.

4. Prune regularly

In the process of maintaining orchids, you can also prune them regularly, use sharp scissors to cut off the branches and leaves that the orchid grows poorly and cannot grow normally, so as to help the plant save nutrients, and you can also cut off the branches and leaves that grow too dense and too long, so as to promote the plant to grow more branches and produce more flowers.

Breeding orchids should pay attention to the place where they are placed, generally in spring, summer and autumn, because the light is better, so the orchid is generally maintained in the open field, placed in a slightly hidden place, and can be moved indoors in winter.

Note that if you grow orchids outdoors, you should generally keep them open, and the indoor ones should generally be maintained in a south-facing direction, and they should be placed on a shelf or table, not on the ground.

Orchids are semi-negative plants, more afraid of strong light, so in the breeding should pay attention to concealment, generally in other seasons the light is more suitable, can be more contact with the sun, but in the summer, must be soaked in shade. Especially around noon.

Many plants don't like rain, and orchids are no different. When cultivating orchids, although you can get a little rain, you must pay attention to prevent rain when it rains mildew or rains for a long time.

When it rains a lot, it is necessary to keep it watered, and when it rains, it is generally necessary to water it in the evening after the rain to drain the heat from the pot. If there is a big sun after the rain, it should be shaded in time.

Generally, Chunlan Xialan has strong cold resistance, but when it is frozen at low temperature, it should be put indoors in time.

Generally, it is placed indoors, and it is good to warm it when the temperature is too low.

Picking flowers for orchids is actually to remove the flowers that grow poorly, generally keeping 1-2 buds, and picking the rest so that they can bloom better.

When the orchid blooms, it is generally necessary to cut it off for a few days, so that the growth of branches and leaves will be better.

Methods of raising orchids: soil selection, loose and fertile and humus-rich soil can be selected; Water requirements, most varieties can be adapted to follow the principle of moist and no stagnant water; Sufficient sunlight, prefer semi-shaded growth environment, and can do shade work in spring, summer and autumn; Temperature environment, suitable for growing in a temperature environment of 15 -25 °C. Notes:

Indoor farming needs to pay attention to ventilation, and the humidity should not be too high.

1. Soil selection

Orchids can be cultivated in loose and fertile and humus-rich soil, which can ensure a spacious and comfortable environment for the growth of orchids, and provide sufficient humus to help growth and development.

2. Water demand

Different varieties of orchids have different requirements for water, follow the principle of moist and no water accumulation can adapt to most of their growth environment, the temperature is drier in autumn, the amount of watering can be appropriately increased, the use of watering can to spray water on the foliage can increase the humidity of the air, watering once every 2-3 days in spring and autumn, 1-2 times a day in summer, and 1 time a week in winter.

3. Sufficient light

Orchids like to grow in a semi-shady environment, not easy to grow in direct light, especially Mo Lan needs to be more careful, orchid breeding in spring, summer and autumn can do shade work measures, use to build a shade shed or placed in a cool and ventilated position such as indoors, winter can be placed in a good light without direct light position maintenance.

4. Temperature environment

Orchids like to grow in a warm environment, the temperature can be controlled at 15 -25 can grow robustly, the general normal room temperature can meet this condition, when the winter is low, you can move the orchid to indoor maintenance, the temperature can be controlled at 5 -11 can be safely wintered, when the summer is high, the temperature is controlled below 28, so as not to dry up and die of orchids.

When orchids are cultivated indoors, it is necessary to pay attention to ventilation and humidity should not be too high to ensure that their growth environment is good. Orchids are not suitable for applying too much high-concentration fertilizer, liquid fertilizer or foliar fertilizer can be used, and thin fertilizer can be applied in time to supplement nutrients during the vigorous growth period. The fleshy roots of orchids are relatively special, and it is necessary to pay attention to the use of fertilizers.

Cultivating orchids requires the use of humus, proper watering, appropriate fertilization, maintaining a suitable environment, and paying attention to ventilation.

Cultivation methods

1. Soil

Orchids are mainly cultivated with humus, but also with humus and perlite, and generally humus and river sand are mixed in a ratio of 8 to 2.

2. Watering

The amount of watering needs to be decided according to the growth of the orchid and the climate, water every 2-3 days in spring and autumn, and 1-2 times on average in summer, and also sprinkle water around to increase humidity. In winter, water is usually watered once a week. Rain or snow water is the best water, and tap water should be stored for 2-3 days before use.

3. Fertilization

If you want orchids to grow well, fertilizer is indispensable, we must pay attention to grasp the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in terms of fertilizer, many people like to use too much nitrogen fertilizer, and nitrogen is easy to make plants grow vigorously, do not excessive. The specific fertilization time is at the beginning of spring every year, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, with a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer.

4. Growth environment

Orchids have high temperature requirements, the suitable temperature is 16-24 degrees, when the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, the orchid needs to be moved indoors, keep the indoor temperature at 10 degrees. Orchids are afraid of direct sunlight, so they need to be shaded in spring, summer and autumn, and can be placed indoors in scattered light in winter.

Notes:

To raise orchids well, we must maintain good ventilation, good ventilation, the speed of dry and wet operation in the potting soil will be faster, so that orchids are not easy to rot roots, grow faster, and pests and diseases are not easy to breed.
