How to transplant wild downhill orchids in summer?

When it comes to the introduction of orchids, many orchid celebrities emphasize that it is best to transplant seedlings in spring and autumn, at this time the root damage is minimal, especially in the beginning of spring germination and late autumn into winter, these two stages are a good transplanting time, it is not recommended to introduce and transplant in summer and winter, the main reason is that the high temperature in summer is perishable seedlings, and the cold in winter is easy to frostbite the root system.

High temperature in summer, the common problem of introduction and transplanting is that the dehydration is too fast, and then the high temperature and humidity perishable seedlings, the common is root rot and stem rot, the weeding is more serious, it is difficult to serve the pot after the weeding is serious, if it is maintained on the balcony with high temperature and poor ventilation, it is easier to dry the yellow leaves, rotten seedlings and rotten roots, serious pests and diseases and difficult to serve the pot, and the orchid reed head has withered and dried up and dehydrated when the pot is not served, and there is no vitality.

Then it is estimated that many friends have questionsCan orchids be planted in hot and humid summer? The answer is yes, of courseOf course, in addition to the scale of tissue culture breeding, it is possible to transplant the branches, if it is a downhill seedling, we recommend not transplanting at this time, and then transplanting it to the pot after the autumn is high and cool, and the general orchid friends can share and buy online, but when transplanting, we should pay attention to the situation of high temperature and humidity susceptibility.

3 tips that need to be paid attention to when transplanting orchids in summer with high temperature, humidity and perishable seedlings

1. The environment is ventilated and sunny.

In the high temperature and humidity of the summer maintenance of orchids, can not be directly exposed, after transplanting on the pot, it is best to put it in the ventilation and shade of the sun, the so-called back sun is not directly exposed, there is the best corner of the wall, the purpose of this is to ventilate the temperature and humidity regulation, the back of the sun to avoid high temperature exposure and rapid dehydration of dead seedlings.

2. Watering is accompanied by sterilization and antiseptic.

In the summer of high temperature and humidity, orchid root rot and stem rot are most likely to break out, because the wound is susceptible to bacterial infection due to high temperature and humidity and is difficult to heal, so it is necessary to sterilize and disinfect before potting.

3. Pay attention to the reeds and weeds.

In the summer maintenance of orchids, it is recommended to observe the fullness of the orchid reed head and whether the orchid is weeded, the so-called orchid weeding is the orchid outer layer of the old leaves from the leaf calyx broken, and the inner leaf is normal without dry tip phenomenon, orchid reed head is related to nutrition, orchid weeding is related to whether to serve the pot, in the summer high temperature and humidity orchid weeding is inevitable, but try to control the weeding is not too serious, the orchid reed head is empty and devoid of vitality and difficult to pot.

Conclusion: Through the above understanding, we can get that orchids can be transplanted in the summer, but it requires a certain amount of maintenance, if it is a downhill seedling, we do not recommend transplanting in summer, to, transplant after autumn, if it is an online purchase of seedlings, tissue culture seedlings, divided seedlings, then after buying back, disinfect the pot, put it in the back of the sunny ventilation, reasonably control the environmental humidity, plus watering fungicide can ensure that the root system slowly pots and reduce the possibility of rotting seedlings.

First of all, to transplant a lower mountain orchid in summer, avoid the hot time period between 10 a.m. and 16 p.m. Secondly, when transplanting the orchid in summer, each orchid should be placed separately to avoid the orchids piling up together and suffocating the orchid seedlings. When digging the third, the soil on the root is taken out together, and the soil and the root are wrapped.

Finally, transplanted orchids should be cultivated in a cool, damp place away from direct sunlight.

The first is the temperature, if you must transplant wild orchids in summer, avoid the period between 10 a.m. and 16 p.m. When the weather is too hot, the roots of the orchid will quickly dehydrate as soon as they emerge from the soil, which is the first hurdle that affects the survival rate.

Second, don't be greedy, you can pick wild orchids in other seasons and put them in a bag, and it's okay to press one by one. But not in summer, if you press the orchids one by one, the inside of the bag will quickly heat up, which will suffocate the roots and seedlings.

3. When digging, it is best to bring the soil on the root system, and do not shake the root system to transport it as in other seasons. Take a newspaper or piece of cloth (plastic convenience bags are not recommended), and wrap the roots of the orchid as soon as it is unearthed, along with the soil.

Of course, it would be better if there were altitude conditions (500---800 meters), many urban friends' orchids are not easy to conceive buds, in addition to management reasons, altitude is also a factor. But because this is a geographical objective factor, it cannot be artificially changed, so we can only start from other aspects.

Then prepare some rotten pine bark, rotten branches, humus from the mountains, small grains of crushed sand from the roots of stony moss. Mix each of these things together and you're a bunch of good orchid growers (of course, by taking care of the downhill orchids you dig up in that mountain).

Orchids can be planted with such planting materials without fertilization for half a year or even a year, reducing the risk of orchid fertilization causing rot.

Grow indoors because the temperature inside is cooler, so it's easier to survive.

In the morning and evening, the rhizomes of the orchid are dug up, placed in a cool place to dry, and finally fresh soil is prepared before the seedlings are planted.

The first stage of root raising: the wild orchids that go down the mountain are generally caused by various reasons, and the root damage and leaf residue are more serious. Therefore, it is very important to nourish the roots.

Specific methods: First, use plain soil, instead of fertile soil. Plain soil cultivation is done without any fertilizer, but it is disinfected.

The second is to plant in a tall clay pot with good air permeability, cut off rotten roots, wounded roots, dead leaves, and diseased leaves when planting, wash the root soil with clean water, and divide the pot with many plants (no less than three grasses in each pot), and disinfect the orchid plant with potassium permanganate (solution for about 20 minutes) before planting. The third is to control the water moderately after planting, so that the potting soil remains moist and dry. Fourth, do not water immediately after planting, put the orchid in the shade for a week, and then use a watering pot to water the orchid many times, continue to put it in the shade for 15 days and then transfer to conventional management, if there is an orchid plant with flowers, cut it immediately after the flower opens to identify the advantages and disadvantages or take pictures, so as not to consume nutrients and affect vegetative growth.

It takes more than 1 year to complete root raising.

The second stage of strong seedlings: strong seedlings also need about a year, the specific method is: in the late autumn of the second year, the vegetative growth slows down, reproductive growth accelerates when a pot is changed, and the planting material of the pot is:

Plain soil 50, humus 50, pay attention to see if the orchid plant has flower buds, if there are flower buds should be all removed, so that the nutrients are transferred to the vegetative growth, the formation of early spring leaf buds in the next year, high germination rate. When the new leaf buds grow about 4 cm, chase a liquid fertilizer to promote faster growth, and chase fertilizer again in the Mid-Autumn Festival to make the new seedlings grow into strong seedlings, pay attention to the top dressing liquid fertilizer should be light.

The third stage of reflowering: The reflowering period is the third year of orchid planting. In spring, we should continue to cultivate new seedlings into large seedlings and strong seedlings, control the growth of flower buds in autumn, and it is best to leave only one flower bud for each pot of orchid plants (it is important to identify the advantages and disadvantages of varieties after reflowering).

After identification, the flowers are cut off to make the next year (fourth year) grow more vigorously.

In this way, after three to four years of careful maintenance, your orchid seedlings will replace the old grass when going down the mountain, the domestication process is over, and the orchid will be transferred to normal management and maintenance, and the orchid will have many roots, lush leaves, and fragrant flowers.

Cultivation points.

Ventilation, shade.

Because the Xiashan orchid originally grows in the environment of ventilation, high air humidity and shade in the alpine forest, therefore, the cultivation site of the Xiashan orchid should be selected in a ventilated zone, and the orchid pot should be placed in the southeast direction, and the shade should generally be controlled at more than 80%, and at the same time, it should be prevented from the cold wind blowing in the northwest as much as possible.

Wet and fertilizer-free. Due to some damage to the roots of the orchid, the function of absorbing water has not returned to normal, too much watering to avoid poor ventilation of the roots, obstruction of breathing, and will cause root rot in severe cases, so the general summer and autumn growth period, the planting material in the pot is kept seven percent wet, and the winter planting material is kept three percent wet, and at the same time, try to increase the air humidity and the ground moisture;Due to the poor absorption function of the roots, the nutrients in the cultivation soil are still sufficient, and there is generally no need to fertilize in the first year.

Xiashan orchid, also known as Luoshan orchid or mountain orchid, refers to those national orchid plants that have just been dug up from the mountain and have not disappeared wildly. These downhill landlots can be bought at the stalls in the Lan market, and the price is usually not expensive, less than 10 yuan can buy a bush, which has become the main object of mass consumption and purchase.

To plant these wild orchids, the key is to choose the correct planting materials and pots, it is best to use planting materials specifically for planting orchids, such as orchid stone, volcanic stone, foaming stone, etc., pots should choose those well-ventilated tile pots or orchid special plastic pots. Usually just purchased Luoshan orchid roots wrapped with moisturizing moss, should be removed before planting, after exposing the fleshy roots, cut off the broken root yellow leaves with scissors, straighten it out and plant it in a pot, put in the planting material with a bamboo stick to insert or shake the planting material, and place it in a semi-shaded place after drenching with water. Daily management is carried out according to the growth requirements of different species of Chinese orchid, usually after 1 or 2 years of planting before domestication, new shoots and new leaves grow, which is more suitable for growing under home conditions.

1. When transplanting orchids going down the mountain, first clean up the dirty dead branches and dead leaves on the head, cut off the old man without leaves or dead leaves or more seriously diseased leaves, cut off the broken roots, and dead roots.

2. After cleaning, it is placed for 5 hours and then moved into a pot for planting, and the potting soil is mixed with some cinder or coarse sand dug in the rotten soil dug on the mountain and planted evenly. If there is no humus, you can use field mud or pond mud or vegetable mud. On the bedding layer, fill in 2-3 cm of culture soil first, slightly compacted by hand, you can put the orchid upright on it, according to the size of the plant and the pot, you can plant several single plants, 2 clusters, 3 clusters or more clusters in a pot.

The roots should be stretched naturally, and the leaves should be draped in all directions. Slowly put the root into the pot, so that the root stretches naturally, and try not to touch the inner wall of the pot. After the orchid plant is potted, the posture of the orchid plant is gradually fixed.

If you plant a bunch of potted plants, the old false bulb should be on one side, so that the new shoots have room for development. If there are several clusters in a pot, the old false bulbs of each bush should be relatively concentrated in the middle of the pot, so that there is enough space for new roots and new shoots to develop outward.

3. After planting, water thoroughly and place it in a dark place indoors for three days, and then move it to a sunny and ventilated place indoors after three days.

4. The last fifteen days after planting should not be exposed to the sun. After watering to see the topsoil, when the topsoil has cracks or whitish feeling can be watered, damp dripping water is not watered, so that watering will not cause rotten roots after drying. The root is not easy to cause death. It is usually placed indoors in a sunny and ventilated place.

Don't water too much after planting, it's easy to rot roots.
