What should I do if the roots of the main stem of the Gentleman s Orchid are too long?

Cut off or divide the plant. The longer the roots of the main trunk of the orchid, the better, the developed roots can make the plant have vigorous vitality, and if it is too long, it can be cut off or divided.

We can cut off the dry roots, and if the roots are particularly healthy, then you should consider dividing the pot in time to make it grow better.

The roots of the Gentleman's Orchid are well developed, and the longer his roots, the better. If it is too long, you can cut off part of the root and replant it.

There is a situation where only roots grow but no leaves, and we must start from light control, temperature control, watering control and fertilization control. Give it sufficient scattered light irradiation, stabilize the temperature between 15-25 degrees Celsius, the temperature difference is about 8 degrees Celsius, watering to ensure that the soil is slightly moist, and fertilizing is appropriate and appropriate.

1. Control lighting

It is not an abnormal phenomenon that the orchid only grows roots but not leaves, but is accumulating nutrients to give birth to leaves, which can provide it with sufficient scattered light irradiation and allow the plants to carry out full photosynthesis, so that the germination of leaves can be accelerated, but it should be noted that it cannot be exposed to strong light.

2. Temperature control

Orchid sometimes stagnates, which may be due to low or stable temperatures. Generally speaking, the indoor temperature of the cultivated orchid should be stable between 15-25 degrees Celsius, and there needs to be a temperature deviation of about 8 degrees Celsius between day and night, otherwise the orchid will not be able to digest nutrients in a constant temperature environment.

3. Watering control

It is also possible that the plant does not have enough water to support the consumption of leaves, so nutrients are used to grow the roots. When watering the orchid, it is necessary to ensure that the soil is slightly moist, not to wait until the soil is completely dry before watering, as long as the soil surface is dry, it must be watered.

4. Fertilization control

After the roots of the orchid grow wildly and the branches and leaves do not grow, we should adjust the fertilizer ratio in time, from the use of well-rotted liquid fertilizer or cake fertilizer to the use of nitrogen fertilizer-based compound fertilizer, so as to promote the growth of branches and leaves of the plant, but it should be noted that the fertilizer concentration should not be too high, otherwise it is easy to burn the roots.

There is a phenomenon of only growing roots and not leaves, you don't need to worry too much, this is it is accumulating nutrients, if you want it to grow leaves, we can strengthen the light, and you also need to have a suitable temperature, and the temperature is best controlled between 15-25. And to water it properly, it is best to keep the soil slightly moist.

1. Sufficient light

The phenomenon of only growing roots and not growing leaves does not need to worry too much, this is the accumulation of nutrients, if you want it to grow leaves, we can strengthen the light, so that it can fully photosynthesize, so that it can germinate leaves, but be careful not to let it be exposed to strong light, otherwise it will wither.

2. Suitable temperature

We can also take temperature control measures to control the temperature between 15-25, so that its leaves will germinate and grow. When maintaining the Junzi orchid, it is also necessary to pay attention to the temperature difference between day and night of 8, otherwise it will not be able to digest nutrients normally in a constant temperature environment.

3. Reasonable watering

The phenomenon of only growing roots and not leaves also needs to be watered reasonably, and it is best to keep the soil in a slightly moist state, which will help it grow its leaves. Pay attention to the watering of the junzi orchid, do not wait for the soil to dry out before watering, otherwise it is not conducive to its growth. If you observe that the soil is half-dry, you should water it.

There are too many roots of the orchid, it needs to be pruned, you can cut off the rotten and dry root system of the orchid, you also need to replace the pot with more space for the orchid, you need to move the orchid to a ventilated semi-shaded environment when maintaining, and you also need to apply diluted liquid fertilizer every other month to make the orchid quickly return to health.

1. Prune

There are too many roots of the orchid and need to be pruned, you can prepare a pair of sharp scissors, and then disinfect the scissors, and then you can cut off the rotten and dry roots of the orchid to avoid further aggravation of the situation, and you also need to use a diluted disinfectant to apply it to the fracture of the root of the orchid to disinfect and sterilize it.

2. Replace the flower pots

When cultivating the orchid, if you find that there are too many roots of the plant, you need to replace the pot with more space, you can use a ceramic pot or mud pot with more drainage holes and a large space at the bottom, and you also need to spread a layer of gravel soil or ceramsite at the bottom of the pot to increase the air permeability of the soil and maintain the normal growth of the orchid.

3. Suitable environment

When maintaining the orchid, it needs to be moved to a ventilated semi-shaded environment to avoid the plant being burned by strong light, and after waiting for the root system of the orchid to heal, it can be placed in a place where it can irradiate scattered light, so that the orchid can receive sufficient natural light, promote the growth and development of the plant, and make the orchid grow more vigorously.

4. Apply fertilizer

Orchid needs sufficient nutrients in the growth process, when breeding orchid, you need to apply diluted liquid fertilizer every other month, you also need to wait for the orchid to bloom, provide it with compound fertilizer based on phosphorus and potassium, promote the healthy growth of orchid, and also need to apply ferrous sulfate to orchid to make its flowers more gorgeous.
