Can you grow orchids by mixing moldy tree crumbs with soil?

Can you grow orchids from rotten trees? What to look out for? When planting and cultivating orchids, we usually have to choose some humus materials that are loose and breathable and rich in a certain amount of fertilizer, and they are required to be granular, and the particle size varies from size to size.

In addition, add a small amount of mineral hard materials, such as: volcanic stone, phytolite, artificial ceramite, ordinary small stones, coarse sand, etc.

In humic materials, fermented and rotted pine bark, willow bark and other bark, rotten branches and leaves, peanut shells and other nut shells and many other humus materials are usually used. Rotten trees are of course a very useful humus material for growing orchids, but most orchids are difficult to obtain in normal material collection.

And some orchid friends who live in mountainous areas, orchid production areas and some places with forests are easier to find in the mountains. These decaying trees, after years of rain and sun, have decayed into a relatively soft material. It has very good water absorption, drainage, and is rich in organic nutrients suitable for orchid growth.

Therefore, bringing these rotten trees back and processing them into granules is also a very good cultivation material for planting orchids.

It is worth noting that these rotten trees are brought back and processed into granules, which must be strictly insecticidal and disinfected before use. It can be used to kill insects by steaming, exposure to the sun and other methods, which can kill all the eggs and adults, and can also kill some harmful bacteria. After high-temperature insecticide, drugs are used to sterilize the rotten wood particles to prevent these rotten wood from containing pathogenic bacteria that are harmful to orchids.

After sterilization and insecticidal treatment, the rotten wood particles have relatively rich nutrients and can be used with 1 3 hard planting materials. It can also be mixed with other humus materials at the same time, the nutrients in the planting material will be more comprehensive, and it is also more conducive to the growth of the root system of orchid plants and the differentiation of flower buds.

Rotten trees can be used to grow orchids, rotten wood is rich in humus, can provide nutrients for the growth of orchids, is a good material for planting orchids, trunks, bark, branches and leaves can be used to grow orchids.

Rotten trees can be used to grow orchids, we can break up rotten trees and mix them with the soil, so that the soil has good air permeability, and the roots of the orchid will grow better.

I have raised orchids for many years, as long as the orchids are placed in a cool and ventilated place, above minus four degrees must be placed indoors, no need for sterilization and fertilization, and the flowers will be replanted immediately after the flowers, and the flowers will bloom and be beautiful in the coming year.

OK. But it has to be fermented and sterilized.

I want to grow good bluegrass. It's time to pay.

Bark, orchid stone, planting soil mixed with orchids is OK, blue stone and bark have poor water retention performance, planting soil can effectively retain water, can be used to plant orchids.

Orchid Planting Substrate:

Coarse planting material, which is made of stone (phytolite, orchid stone, ceramsite, etc.), tree bark, fairy soil (granular) grade, fine planting material, mainly humus, mixed planting material, is made of coarse planting material and fine planting material.

Fine planting material has strong water absorption, is a traditional planting material, long watering time interval, coarse planting material has strong water permeability, is a modern planting material, watering time interval is short.

The northern climate is dry and suitable for mixed planting materials with strong water absorption, and what planting materials are used are related to the planting level, and beginners should use coarse planting materials.

Orchid growth habits:

Prefer shade and fear direct sunlight; Prefer moisture, avoid dryness.

It likes to be fertile and rich in a lot of humus.

A well-ventilated environment.

Sowing method: orchids are commonly used for branching, sowing and tissue culture propagation, orchid seeds are very fine, there is only one incomplete embryo in the seed, the germination ability is very low, and the seed coat is not easy to absorb water, and it can not germinate by conventional method of sowing, so it is necessary to use orchid fungi or artificial medium to supply nutrients in order to germinate.

It is best to choose the fruit that has not yet cracked for sowing, after the surface is sterilized with 75% alcohol, take out the seeds, soak them in 10% sodium hypochlorite for 5-10 minutes, take them out and rinse them with sterile water 3 times to sow them in the culture flask containing the medium, and then put them in the dark culture room, keep the temperature at about 25, and then move them to the light after germination to form the original corm.

From sowing to transplantation, it takes half a year to a year, and the tissue culture has been successful, and this method can be used to propagate where conditions permit.

Dividing method: can be carried out in spring and autumn, generally once every three years, where the plant grows robust, the false bulb is dense can be divided, after the division of each cluster to save at least 5 connected together pseudobulb.

Before dividing the plant to reduce irrigation, so that the potting soil is drier, after the potting, first cover the hole at the bottom of the pot with broken tiles, and then pave the coarse stones, accounting for the depth of the pot 1 5-1 4, and then put coarse soil and a small amount of fine soil, and then plant with sandy loam rich in humus.

The planting depth is to bury the false bulb in the soil, leave 2cm along the edge of the pot, spread the green cloud grass or fine stones, and finally water thoroughly, put it in the shade for 10-15 days, keep the soil moist, gradually reduce watering, and carry out normal maintenance.

Of course, you can, you can, but the bark must be fully fermented and rotted before it can be used, and the soil should be used sparingly, and it is okay not to use it.
