Orchids have seedlings without roots and no moss, can they be covered with plant ash or sawdust?

In recent years, due to the development of network technology and cultivation technology, more and more people have joined the industry of raising orchids, and the army of orchids has grown exponentially. But many people have no experience in breeding, only theory, no practice, holding a book or reading some trivial knowledge of orchid cultivation on the Internet to act as a master, there are many such people, commonly known as pseudo-experts. Raising orchids is a systematic technology, from the cultivation, maintenance, daily management, watering, seedling, covering the old man has special experience, ordinary people have not actually operated, it is difficult to understand from it.

The rootless old man has sprouted new roots.

Let's talk about how to cover the old man without roots, in the daily cultivation management, we are indispensable to divide the orchid seedlings, and at the same time to divide the five old men separately, so as to facilitate the re-emergence of seedlings, when I didn't know before, the rootless old man who was divided was thrown away, now I think about it is a pity, after all, good varieties are bought at a high price, if the old man can produce new seedlings, will be able to obtain good economic benefits. After several years of practice, I finally mastered a set of methods for covering the rootless old man, and it is very practical, which is of great significance for covering a good variety.

The rootless old man has not yet sprouted new roots, and the time is 15 days.

For the selection of planting materials for the old man, we can prepare some sea lake stone, volcanic stone or perlite in advance, a little rice husk mix, soak in water, the bark is best not to use, and the old man should be cleaned. Then prepare some clean moss, dead or alive, wrap the rootless old man with clean moss, fake bulbs, roots must be completely wrapped, and then start to pot, use the planting material prepared in advance to cultivate like planting normal grass, put it in a cool place after planting, remember not to bask in the sun, do not use fertilizer, and then water every two or three days, no accident, new seedlings will emerge in about 20 days. At this time, the new seedlings that grow have no root system, we should not rush to transplant immediately, and wait until the new seedlings grow two taproot systems before transplanting, otherwise they will die.

If you're lucky, an old man without roots will produce two or three new seedlings, which are more than normal grass.

The rootless old man grows.

When the new seedling is ten centimeters high, I judge that its taproot has been fully formed, then we can move the pot, at this time we need two or three rootless old men to cultivate together, and they can replenish each other's nutrients. It won't take half a year to become a big seedling. A few years ago, I bought twenty or thirty rootless old men outside Jianlan Chicheng, which was the method of covering the old man above, and the result was more than 40 seedlings, all of which were sold last year.

Therefore, covering the old man is also a technical job, and if it is used properly, it will make people earn a lot of money.

Yes, sawdust will rot after a period of use, so when used as an orchid substrate, it should be mixed with other nutrient soils. Moreover, sawdust is suitable for fungus growth, and grows well with the orchid fungus with rotten roots, so that the state of the orchid root is maintained all the time, which is a natural and pollution-free cultivation medium.

Orchids have seedlings without roots, and it is not recommended to cover the roots with plant ash or sawdust, and it is recommended to cover the roots with river sand or cinder mixture.

Yes, because plant ash is rich in nutrients that can help orchid roots. But be sure to place it in a ventilated place and pour the right amount of water.

You can add a little plant ash to the orchid, pay attention to the amount should not be too much, because the plant ash is alkaline, if you add too much, it will lead to too much pH value in the potting soil. It prefers to grow in acidic soils, and loam soils with a high pH value tend to weaken the growth of plants, which is not conducive to growth. If you add only a small amount, it will still have a variety of benefits for its growth.

1. Supplement nutrition: plant ash contains a lot of nutrients, especially phosphorus and potassium, which is helpful for growth, can be used as nutrients, promote plant growth and robustness, and is also very good as foliar fertilizer.

2. Promote rooting: Another function is to promote rooting, especially for just transplanting, the local rent regret can play a rooting round effect, so that the root system grows as soon as possible.

3. Warmth and frost protection: It can promote the robustness of plants, improve the ability to resist cold and frost, and reduce the possibility of frostbite. And spread a layer on the surface of the pot, which can absorb heat and increase the temperature, and protect the root system from frost damage in winter.

4. Prevention and control of pests and diseases: It can effectively prevent the occurrence of rust and powdery mildew, and can also prevent and control pests such as red tung spiders and scale insects.

In fact, there are two sides to everything, plant ash can be said to be too useful in rural areas, much better than chemical fertilizers and fungicides, so plant ash can be used on orchids, plant ash on orchids, with the right can sterilize and fertilizer, these points should be noted.

The wonderful use of alkaline plant ash on orchids:

Who said that alkaline plant ash can not be used on orchids, practice understands everything, plant ash has many benefits, first of all, plant ash contains a large amount of potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, magnesium and other nutrients needed by orchids, plant ash is the ash after the calcination of the plant body, black and gray plant ash contains more potassium, gray plant ash contains less potassium, plant ash has these wonderful uses in orchids:

1. Heat absorption and heat preservation.

In winter, raise orchids, spread a little plant ash on the surface of the orchid pot, because the black plant ash on the surface of the pot enhances the absorption of light and heat, can increase the soil temperature, promote growth, and thus protect the root system of the orchid from injury.

2. Soil disinfection.

Needless to say, plant ash has a disinfectant effect on the soil.

3. Promote rooting.

Grass ash has the function of promoting the development of plant roots, and it has a good effect on plants with fleshy roots, so the use of a little plant ash for the maintenance of orchids can play a role in promoting rooting.

4. Anti-freeze and leaf protection.

Because there are many trace elements, plant ash can improve the cold-proof ability of orchids and reduce the frost damage of orchid leaves.

5. Supplement nutrition.

Grass ash contains a variety of nutrients needed by orchids, especially some trace elements such as magnesium, zinc, iron, etc., the key is that plant ash is very soluble, high use rate, as leaf fertilizer and base fertilizer effect is very good, as a foliar fertilizer after dissolving I, let it stand overnight and then you can spray it with a solution.

6. Prevention and control of diseases.

The use of plant ash on orchids can effectively prevent and control the occurrence of white silk disease, rust and powdery mildew, just spread it on the pot surface, and the rotten roots of orchids, wrap it with plant ash after cleaning, and play a good role in disinfection and sterilization.

7. Pest control.

After the plant ash is spread on the surface of the pot, it can penetrate into the body from the scale insects and red spiders, resulting in the blockage of the stomata, so as to achieve the effect of insect pest control.

There are many benefits of plant ash, and the use of plant ash on orchids should pay attention to these points:

1. We all know that plant ash contains a large number of metal elements, and it becomes alkaline after dissolving in the potting soil, so the number of times it is used can not be too much, just use it 2 to 3 times a year, not too many times.

2. The dissolution of mixed plant ash is alkaline, so when it is used on orchids, it is recommended to use it alone, not to mix other fertilizers and the like, and it is easy to have problems if you don't grasp it well.

3. Remember to clean the pot surface or dilute the potting soil without cleaning, but if the plant ash is sprayed as foliar fertilizer orchid leaves, the soaked solution should be used to prevent the flowers and leaves from being polluted, and after spraying, wash it off with water overnight.

Planting orchid mountain soil can be potted and then slowly replaced with nutritious fertile soil and fertilizer water, and it must be done slowly little by little for a year or two. Make sure your orchids don't die well! And it doesn't cost anything!

OK. Grass ash has high fertility, and is natural and pollution-free, which can be used as fertilizer for orchids.

Yes, because plant ash contains potassium and nitrogen fertilizers, which are helpful for the growth of orchids.

In the process of raising orchids, appropriate plant ash is added, which directly replaces potassium fertilizer!

Yes, but don't use too much, too much could burn the orchid!

Orchids have no leaves and no roots, and it is more robust to cover the roots with it, and many friends dare not use it.

Orchids have seedlings without roots, and there is no moss, so it is not recommended to cover the roots with plant ash or sawdust, and cover the roots with river sand or cinder mixed soil.

Moss is a dry water moss, sterile, disease-free, light in texture, good in breathability and water storage, and is widely used in orchid production. There are really not many people who use this for family orchids, mainly because there are too many planting materials that can replace it, as long as it can meet its growth needs, and orchids are not as fragile as you think.

You can put orchid roots on top of plant ash.

Since the plant ash has a sterilization function, if the orchid root is sterilized like this, maybe.

Not easy. Wounds do not become easily inflamed.

Yes, because plant ash is rich in nutrients, which is very suitable for orchid roots. Regular watering is required during the rooting period. and placed in a ventilated environment.
