Can pine needles grow orchids directly? Which is more suitable for orchids, pine needles or pine bar

Pine needles refer to the leaves that fall from pine trees, because the leaves of pine trees are slender like needles, so they are also called pine needles. When pine needles are symbiotic with natural orchids, they have several effects on orchids.

1. Protect the pine needles from being soft and breathable, and when they fall from the pine tree and cover the base of the orchid leaves, they can form a small environmental air layer. In the middle of summer and in severe cold, the air layer regulates the temperature of the microenvironment and protects the orchid, especially the roots, from being burned or frostbitten.

Pine needles can also act as a buffer when the orchid plant is impacted (small animals, humans and animals, as well as the impact of strong winds and heavy rains) to protect the normal growth of orchid seedlings.

Second, the fertility pine needles are a good organic fertilizer after decay, and we can clearly see in the wild that wherever the pine needles are thick, the soil is more fertile, and the plants grow more vigorously. Thoroughly decayed pine needles are also beneficial for the growth of orchids.

3. Probiotics. The growth of orchids is indispensable with the assistance of symbiotic fungi, which orchid friends know. This fungus is more likely to multiply under broad-leaved forests and pine forests, and the reason is that pine needle decay is suitable for its growth. Therefore, it is the same for orchids to be raised with pine needles, which have these three benefits.

Classification of pine needlesSo how to use pine needles to raise orchids, this is indeed very critical. Because what my orchid friend told me the most before was that raising orchids with pine needles caused all the orchids to die. What is the reason for this?

There are three types of pine needles: raw pine needles (within one year of falling from the tree), half-ripened pine needles (within one to three years), and rotten pine needles. In order to save trouble, some orchid friends chop and cook raw pine needles and dry them, and then use them to grow orchids, which is obviously not good.

Pine needles are particularly oily, and undecayed pine needles ferment in the soil to produce heat, which usually burns out the roots. Cooking and drying did not change the "raw" nature of pine needles, and the degreasing rate of these two operations was not high. Therefore, it is not appropriate to raise orchids with raw pine needles, no matter how they are treated.

Friends who raise orchids, if there are raw pine needles at hand, they should not be mixed in the planting material. It can be placed on the pot as a whole to protect the leaf base and buds of the orchid. Pine needle pot surface has greater benefits than moss.

If you want to raise orchids with pure pine needles, you must choose the kind that is ripe. After the pine needles fall to the ground, they will be combined with the soil, and then through the action of ants and insects, and the microorganisms will digest them. Generally after at least three years, the various properties of pine needles have been changed, and not only orchids, but also other flowers and green plants can be raised, and the effect is also very good.

It is also easy to take these pine needles, but they can be found in any pine forest. Peeling off the raw pine needles on the upper layer and taking the pine needles on the surface of the soil that have rotted into pieces is the best planting material for raising orchids. If you use raw pine needles to grow orchids, the outcome is basically the same as that of my orchid friend.

The pros and cons of using "pine needles" to raise orchids should be weighed before deciding whether to use them.

No. I think the pine needles must be covered with soil so that orchids can be raised, which is better for orchid life.

It is better not to raise orchids directly, but to plant them after fermentation. The fermented pine needles are rich in nutrients, can promote the growth of plant rhizomes well, and also have good air permeability.

No, because pine needles contain a lot of bacteria, germs, insect eggs, etc., directly raising orchids, not only can not play a beneficial role, but also may raise orchids infected with germs, and finally rotten roots can not survive.

Pine bark is a good planting material for growing orchids, much better than simply using pine needles to raise orchids.

The advantage of pine bark is that the air permeability is higher than that of pine needles, and pine bark has good water retention and air permeability, of course, it is also an important nutrient after decomposition, but when using pine bark, we have always emphasized that it must be completely decomposed. Orchids have relatively high requirements for flower soil, which is loose and breathable and slightly acidic without water accumulation.

It should also have high water filtration, good moisturizing performance, and a large void to allow air to form convection in the flower soil, which is conducive to the respiration of the root system. Pine bark and pine needles can be used to grow orchids, but it is advisable to add slightly hard, non-perishable volcanic rock, phytolites and other particulate matter in between. In the planting material for orchid maintenance, it is recommended to add volcanic rock, rust sand and other granular planting materials to the pine bark and pine needles.

Orchids

Orchid (scientific name: cymbidium ssp.).) is an orchidaceous plant that is widely distributed throughout the Ming Zha-Zheng plant in China.

China has cultivated orchids for more than 2,000 years, and has always regarded orchids as a symbol of nobility and elegance, and is one of the top ten famous flowers in China along with "plum, bamboo, and chrysanthemum", collectively known as the "Four Gentlemen". Orchids are generally epiphytic or terrestrial herbs, with a few leaves to many flowers, racemes with several or multiple flowers, and the colors are white, pure white, white-green, yellow-green, light yellow, light yellow-brown, yellow, red, blue, and purple.

There are generally two ways to use pine needles to raise orchids. One is to use thoroughly decaying pine needle humus and mix it with other hard planting materials to grow orchids directly. This humus soil has a comprehensive balance of nutrients, which is especially suitable for orchid growth.

Some fertile pine needle humus soil grows orchids, and it can even be achieved without fertilization for a year, and the orchids are still strong and flowery.

However, the planting method is not suitable for fresh, fresh and unripe pine needles, because the pine needles have a high oil content, and the turpentine contained in them can affect the growth of plant roots. Moreover, undecayed pine needles will rot and ferment in the soil, generating heat and consuming a lot of oxygen, which will also affect the growth of the root.

It is not possible to raise orchids entirely with pine needles.

Although there are many benefits to using pine needle soil to raise flowers, it does not mean that it can be used directly as long as it is collected, in fact, it must be made after a series of fermentation, sterilization, insect removal and other work, and then used with other soils to raise flowers will have a better effect.

Hello, dear, it is a pleasure to serve you: The cultivation method of pine needle orchid is to allow the pine needles to ferment and rot, which does not contain relatively fine soil components. When making, you can soak the pine needles thoroughly, and then mix some coarse river sand or perlite to seal and ferment, and when the pine needles appear black, soft and easy to break, they can be added and used.

Of course, it can also be mixed with pine bark and willow bark and fermented together, or pine needles can be soaked and fermented separately. But it is best to mix with some other simple grain materials when using, and the proportion of pine needles is only 1 5 of the total planting material, do not use too much. Pine needle orchids can generally be watered every 2-3 days to maintain the normal growth of the plant, and in summer the temperature is higher and the water evaporates faster, so you can water once a day, and after the temperature decreases in winter, it should be watered once every 4-5 days.

When watering orchids, you can fill a plastic bottle with water, and then slowly water along the edge of the pot to clear the front in the soil, pay attention to watering, while moving along the edge of the pot, to ensure that the potting soil is all wet, and to water the orchid should pay attention to the amount of watering, so as not to cause pine bark rot due to stagnant water. Thank you for your trust, the above is my reply, I hope it can help you, I wish you a happy life.

Summary. Hello, I'm glad to answer for you, which is better to raise orchids with pine needles or fir chips? Personally, I think it is better to plant orchids with pine needles, the decay and decomposition of pine needles is very slow, and generally does not cause root burning, even if it is not pre-fermented, it can be used directly.

It can be sterilized at high temperature, pine needles can be sterilized by high temperature disinfection, it is better to make fertilizer, or carbendazim can be added or soaked in potassium permanganate solution.

Hello, I'm glad to answer for you, which is better to raise orchids with pine needles or fir chips? Personally, I think it is better to plant orchids with pine needles, the decay and decomposition of pine needles is very slow, and generally does not cause root burning. It can be sterilized at high temperature, pine needles can be sterilized by high temperature disinfection, it is better to make fertilizer, and it can also be soaked in potassium permanganate solution for carbendazim or old people.

After fermentation, pine needle soil is slightly acidic, and there are more nutrients in the soil, which is almost a universal soil for raising flowers, so it is called "all-purpose". The pine needles are purely crushed, and the stool answers the pine needles in a ratio of 4 to 6 or 5 to 5, 1 to 1 or so, which is the volume rather than the weight. The fermentation time of sawdust is relatively slow, generally about a year, and can only play the role of loosening the soil, does not contain any nutrients, and it is better to use the saw-fired seedling as a substrate and the soil is heated and fermented.

Pine needles are rich in microorganisms and nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium is very fertile, after decomposing, it belongs to the slightly acidic type of loose soil, very strong air permeability, very good water absorption, rough skin, can promote the rapid growth of many plants. Pine needles are used to grow bonsai, medicinal herbs, flowers, potted plants, etc., and it is also better to raise flowers.

1. Pine needles cannot be used to raise orchids directly.

2. Pine needles must be fermented, only degreased and fermented pine needles can be used as orchid planting materials, and the aforementioned mulching can be used without fermentation.

3. After fermentation, the pine needles and soil mixture are packed in a special box, and then earthworms are added artificially, and the soil is mechanized by using the activities of earthworms.

Orchids can be planted with pine needle soil, or they can be planted entirely with pine needles, and orchids can be planted with this humus, and some of these humus soils are pine needle soil.

Orchids generally grow in pine forests, oak forests, bamboo forests and other places, orchids like to be associated with pine trees, pine needles will not rot for a long time after the pine needles fall, pine needles can maintain a good shape for a long time, very loose and breathable.

The root system of orchid likes loose and breathable soil, pine needle soil just meets the characteristics of orchid root, but also drains water and moisturizes, and is rich in the characteristics of orchid root moist but not wet, once used an orchid all with pine needles for planting test, which does not contain a little soil, orchid maintenance bureau is very good, no scorched tip, no black spots, slender roots, very white, very beautiful roots.

Pine needle soil is recommended to be exposed to the sun when used, or used after sterilization and insecticide by steaming and medicine, insect prevention should be put in the first place, can not ignore the insect pests of orchids, insects in the planting material hurt orchids, in summer it is easy to induce soft rot and stem rot to make orchids die, it is best to use fully fermented pine needle soil, not Jianqing fermented good can be covered with plastic bags, sprinkle some water in the sun exposure for 1-2 months, both kill insects and leaven.

The use of pine needles for orchids is not recommended. Although pine needles can absorb water, they contain more pine resin and pine oil, which are easy to secrete, which is not conducive to the growth of orchids and even leads to the death of orchids. If you need to supply humidity to the orchid, you can use other materials such as peat, ferns, etc.

I think the content is good,.

In the process of raising orchids with pine needles, you can choose to mix 5 parts of pine needle soil, 3 parts of yellow sand soil and 2 parts of river sand to make culture soil, or you can mix humus soil, 2 parts of pine needle soil and 2 parts of river sand, which need to be thoroughly disinfected before potting, or mixed with humus, pine needles, perlite or volcanic stone.

Pine needle soil has good water retention and air permeability, more suitable for the growth of orchids, the general pine needle orchid formula can be selected with 5 parts of pine needle soil, 3 parts of yellow sand soil and 2 parts of river sand mixed to make culture soil, such soil is more loose and breathable and comprehensive nutrition, the river sand has good drainage, has a good role in promoting the root growth of orchids.

You can also add some humus soil to the pine needle soil, you can choose to mix 3 parts of humus, 2 parts of pine needle soil and 2 parts of river sand to make culture soil, humus soil is mainly to the soil after the leaves or grass are ripe, and the soil needs to be thoroughly disinfected before potting, so as not to harbor germs in the soil, which is not conducive to growth.

In addition, the soil is also the best mixed planting material, you can add some small stones at the bottom of the pot, cover a layer of soil on it, and then cover the surface of the pot soil with pine needle soil, add some well-rotted compost or fermented and rotted soybean cake, peanut shells and other organic fertilizers, and stir and mix evenly before potting, so that the nutrient distribution can be more balanced.

When using pine needles to breed orchids, not all pine needles can not be used, so that the comprehensiveness of nutrition can not be guaranteed, you can put some humus at the bottom of the pot when potting, put an appropriate amount of pine needles and river sand on the top part, and you can also add some volcanic stone or perlite appropriately to ensure that there is sufficient nutrient demand.
