The right way to raise orchids with water moss, the right way to raise orchids with water moss How t

The correct way to raise orchids on the water platform is to put this water platform on the pot surface of the orchid.

4 ways to raise orchid small potted plants with water moss.

1. Directly cultivated with water moss.

This is the most common method, and it is also a common method in the orchid market, directly wrap the moss with the orchid root system and put it in the pot to raise, but the requirements for watering and humidity control are very high, and it is humid in the south, and it is easy to rot the roots if the technology is not in place.

2. Spread potting soil with moss.

This is also a common method used by many small partners, to spread the moss to the potting soil, which can ensure the humidity of the orchid root system, the humidity ensures that the orchid root system is strong, and the moss potting soil can also be beautiful, increase the ornamentality, of course, the moss potting soil can reduce the splash of soil after watering.

3. Water moss mixed planting material.

I like to use this method very much, the advantage is that it can prevent half of the water, and after watering, the lower part will not dry out and the upper part will be very wet, and in the hot summer, this method can play a moisturizing and cooling benefit.

4. Water moss pulping mixed planting material.

This is some orchid raising, for the precious orchid commonly used method, the moss into a slurry, and then mixed in the planting material, after watering, the moss spores of these moss will germinate into moss, and soon the gap in the pot is filled with moss, the water retention effect is very good, and the maintenance is easy.

How to prevent root rot in water moss orchids.

Of course, when raising orchids with water moss, we said that the water retention and air permeability are very good, so when raising orchids with water moss, we should pay attention to preventing the orchid roots from stagnating and rotting.

1. Water less.

I can't give you a certain amount of watering once a few days, but don't water often, we feel it with our hands, and we can water it when we find that the moss is not wet, and the watering is mainly moist, don't water too thoroughly.

2. Replace it regularly.

After a period of maintenance, the nutrition of the water moss is gradually lost, and the water moss will reproduce, if the amount is too much, it is easy to burst the pot and yellow and wilt, causing pests and diseases, so generally we raise orchids once a year or so to change the water moss, of course, some old drivers have good skills, and the water moss and orchids are well raised, and they do not need to be changed for several years.

Scientific hydration: Be sure to wait until all the moss is dry before watering the orchid thoroughly. Shade from the sun:

In late April, the orchids are shaded and only receive soft light in the morning and evening. Supplemental liquid fertilizer: Water the moss with thin alum fertilizer once a week.

Repot regularly: Replace the plants with new moss every six months.

1. Scientific hydration

Orchids like a moist environment, afraid of waterlogging, in the process of breeding with water moss, due to the strong moisturizing property of water moss, usually can not be watered often, before replenishing water to observe whether the water moss is dry, must wait until all the water moss is dry before watering through, usually once a week can be watered.

2. Block the sun

Orchids belong to the feminine flowers, not sun-resistant, and afraid of direct light, during the maintenance of water moss, it is best to place the plant in a slightly shaded position, occasionally accept astigmatism can be, generally into late April to start shading, only accept the soft light in the morning and evening.

3. Supplement liquid fertilizer

The early spring and early autumn of each year are the peak season for the growth of orchids, during this period for the consumption of nutrients more, we should pay attention to timely top dressing, in accordance with the principle of thin fertilizer and diligent application, water the thin alum fertilizer water on the moss once a week, and stop fertilizing in rainy days, midsummer and cold winter, so as not to produce fertilizer damage.

4. Change the pot regularly

The moisturizing properties of water moss will gradually deteriorate in the later stage, generally can only be used for half a year, when breeding orchids with water moss, the potting soil should be replaced in time, if the expired water moss is used for a long time, the air permeability of the pot soil becomes poor, and it is easy to rot the roots, which seriously hinders the vigorous growth of orchids.

1. Watering appropriately.

Orchids prefer moist environments, but are afraid of waterlogging. The moisturizing effect of the moss is good, when watering, it is necessary to see whether the moss is dry, sometimes the top moss is dry but the bottom moss is still wet, so it can not be watered. Wait until the moss is dry before watering, and when watering, you should also water thoroughly, so that the root system at the bottom can also absorb enough water.

Usually it is watered once a week or so. In addition, if the climate is dry, you can spray water around the orchid frequently to increase the humidity.

2. Proper shading.

Orchids are mostly feminine plants, not sun-tolerant, and afraid of direct light. During the breeding period, we should pay attention to the problem of light, it is best to put it in a slightly cool environment, and occasionally accept astigmatism to meet the demand for light. Usually the shade starts in late April, and only let it be exposed to morning and evening light.

The light in winter is generally soft, and more sunlight can be used to encourage it to grow vigorously.

3. Reasonable fertilization.

The early spring and early autumn of each year are the peak growing seasons for orchids, during which a lot of nutrients are consumed, and it needs to be fertilized. Fertilization must be carried out in accordance with the thin fertilizer application method, apply the rotten alum fertilizer water once a week, and do not top dressing in rainy weather. The growth of orchids in summer and winter has basically stopped, and fertilizer has to be stopped.

The growth rate in these two seasons is slow, and even has stopped, and the orchid cannot be absorbed by fertilization, and it is easy to produce fertilizer.

4. Change the pot regularly

When using moss to maintain orchids, it is necessary to repot them regularly. If it is China's water moss, it can generally only be used for half a year, and if it is imported water moss, it can be used for about 2 years. After the expiration date of the moss has passed, there is no use value, and the orchid must be replaced with water moss.

If it is not replaced for a long time, the air permeability of the moss will deteriorate, which will easily lead to root rot and seriously hinder the normal growth of orchids.

1. Prepare moss and flower pots: If the moss is dry, it should be moistened with water and become soft and moist, I use green fresh moss growing in the mountains and forests of Guizhou.

2. The flower pot is an ordinary small plastic flower pot with a diameter of 13 cm and a net height of 11 cm, which is broken into small pieces with styrofoam blocks and paved in the basin to increase credit and increase ventilation space.

3. Then spread the plastic small pieces with an appropriate amount of water moss, the next step is to prepare the selection of orchids, the planted orchid is a spring orchid that has just come down the mountain, there are 3 seedlings, the roots are not good, after cutting off the stump roots, the roots of the orchid are facing up, and the gaps between the roots and roots are filled with broken water moss, and then all the roots are wrapped in water moss, the elasticity is moderate, put into the prepared flower pots, fill all the flower pots with water moss, the tightness is moderate, and then choose the slippery god to use some beautiful water moss evenly spread on the pot surface, gently compacted, and watered thoroughly.
