How to raise orchids at home, how to raise orchids

Orchids are very squeamish plants, they don't bloom when they start a temper, sometimes they can't help it, and the main reason for orchid tantrums is that there are some small details that you don't notice when you maintain them.

1. First of all, the environment of raising orchids should be transparent and bright, with good ventilation, and they can be raised outdoors outdoors, not stuffy indoors.

2. Secondly, the soil is very critical, orchids are basically fleshy roots, and the requirements for air permeability are very high, the soil should be loose, not compacted, and not waterlogged, otherwise the root system can not breathe normally, which will cause many problems.

In China's region, alkaline soils such as loess and compacted soil are not suitable for planting. Ordinary vegetable garden soil can increase the degree of soil porosity by adding river sand, tree bark, pine needles, peanut shells, melon seed shells, egg shells, etc.

But in general, vegetable garden soil is not a good soil, for orchids, with the thickness of the planting material is the best, we usually collect melon seed shells, nut shells, peanut shells and other fine planting materials for raising orchids; Cinders and red bricks belong to coarse planting materials.

When mixing soil, use a part of the coarse and fine planting material, and add some humus to increase nutrients, which is very perfect for orchids! There are a lot of deciduous humus, pine needle humus, bamboo humus, etc., which can raise orchids.

Orchid cultivation methods and skills: Orchids should use loose and breathable soil. Peat moss and charcoal can be mixed to serve as culture soil.

Orchids like to be warm, and it's best to keep the temperature at 15 to 28 on a regular basis. Orchids prefer semi-shaded environments and should be shaded in spring and summer. It needs to be given more light in winter.

Note that when the weather is particularly hot, you need to sprinkle some water around the orchid. Be careful not to allow water to accumulate in the basin on rainy days.

Orchid (scientific name: cymbidiumssp. ): epiphytic or terrestrial herbs, with several to many leaves;

Usually born at the base or on the lower nodes of the pseudobulb, in two rows, banded or rarely inverted-lanceolate to narrowly elliptic, usually broadly sheathed at the base and surrounding the pseudobulb, with joints.

The racemes have several or multiple flowers, and the colors are white, pure white, white-green, yellow-green, light yellow, light yellow-brown, yellow, red, blue, and purple.

1. Soil.

To grow orchids, you need to use weakly acidic soil rich in humus. In addition, it is also necessary to choose a soil with good air permeability, so that its root system can grow better. In addition, if there is old soil that has raised orchids before, it can be processed and continued to be used, and such soil contains orchid fungi, which is conducive to the growth of orchid roots.

2. Temperature. Orchids have strict temperature requirements and need to be warm enough. In summer, it needs to be shaded and ventilated to reduce the temperature; In winter, you need to move it indoors and take certain measures to keep it warm.

3. Illumination. It is relatively light-loving, and it needs to ensure sufficient light when breeding. In the summer, it needs to be shaded with a shade net, which will ensure that its leaves will not be burned.

4. Moisture. It prefers relatively moist moisture conditions. In spring and autumn, every two or three days, wait until the soil is slightly dry. In the summer, water is more likely to evaporate, so it is necessary to increase the frequency of watering.

In winter, it is necessary to reduce the frequency of watering to prevent frost damage from excessive moisture.

It is very important to raise orchid soil, and it is necessary to choose slightly acidic humus soil based on pine bark and peanut shells. Orchids like shade, avoid strong light, and are generally placed in a cool position with astigmatism. Water once every 2 days to avoid the formation of black spots on the leaves, apply liquid fertilizer once every 18 days or so, and prune the yellow leaves and dead leaves in the plants frequently.

Orchids are mainly planted with slightly acidic humus soil based on rotten leaves and dead branches, pine bark and peanut shells, you can buy orchid soil directly in the market, or you can make it yourself, with rotten dead branches and leaves, ceramsite, perlite, etc., with some impurities-free garden soil, according to 2:1:1:

The ratio of 2 is mixed, and the soil is loose and breathable, which is very suitable for planting.

Orchids are shade-loving plants and avoid strong light, so they are generally placed in a cool and astigmatistic position. However, it still needs to receive sunlight for its growth, and generally receives scattered light after 5 o'clock in the evening. In addition to winter, orchids should be shaded, and in winter they can be used for astigmatism, but the time should also be controlled to avoid direct sunlight and sunburn plants.

Proper light can promote the growth and opening of flowers, and a ventilated environment is conducive to the healthy growth of plants.

The control of moisture should be the most difficult to control in the cultivation method of orchids. The vigorous growth period of orchids is summer, and the demand for water is slightly larger, so it should be watered once a day, and it can be watered twice a day according to soil conditions; In spring and autumn, water is basically once every 3 days, and you can also spray water around the orchid placement to ensure the humidity of the surrounding air.

Before planting orchids, you can mix bottom fertilizer into the soil to ensure the nutrient demand for early growth; In the vigorous growth period, it is necessary to pay attention to timely top dressing, generally apply a 1:2 ratio of urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate fertilizer with liquid fertilizer in about 18 days, and spray foliar fertilizer to the foliar surface in an appropriate amount before and after the flowering period.

In the process of cultivating orchids, it is necessary to clean up and prune the yellow leaves and dead leaves in the plant from time to time, on the one hand, it has the effect of ventilation, and on the other hand, it does not affect the ornamental effect. When the flowers bud out, you should prune off the rest and leave only one sturdy flower branch, and after the flower is gone, you should prune the flower branch to prepare for the next year's flowering.

When cultivating orchids, it is necessary to water the plants every 3 days, and fertilize them once every 20 days to provide sufficient fertilizer and water for the lead beam orchids, and then place the orchids in a light and ventilated environment, so that they can receive no less than 6 hours of light for photosynthesis and promote the growth of the plants more vigorously.

How orchids are farmed.

1. Provide moisture.

When cultivating orchids, you can water the plants every 3 days to let the orchids absorb enough water and grow healthily, if you water in summer, you need to water every 1-2 days to keep the soil moist and avoid the lack of water in the plants.

2. Provide nutrients.

In the long-term orchid flower, it is necessary to provide sufficient nutrients for it, so that the plant can grow more vigorously, and the compound fertilizer can be applied to the plant every 20 days to meet the growth needs of the orchid and avoid the lack of nutrients and poor growth of the plant.

3. Lighting conditions.

Orchids cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, so when supplementing the plant with light, it needs to be placed in a astigmatism environment, so that the orchid can receive no less than 6 hours of light in this environment for photosynthesis and promote the growth of the plant.

4. Prune.

When cultivating orchids, it is necessary to prune their bright rows, first sterilize the pruning tools to avoid bacterial infection in the wounds of the plants, and then cut off the leaves of the orchids with poor growth, dry locust bonds and wilted leaves to save nutrients for the plants.

Soil requirements: Orchids should choose deep soil, rich in organic matter, loose soil, put the plants vertically into the dug planting pit, cover the soil and water enough to fix the roots. Water and Fertilizer Management:

Water 2-3 times a week in spring and autumn, fertilize once every 2 weeks, and do not touch the roots when fertilizing. Temperature and light: The growth temperature is about 18-22, and the light can be scattered appropriately.

Pruning: Prune in time if yellow leaves are found. Notes:

Keep it ventilated, and the pH of the water is acidic.

1. Soil requirements.

1. The most basic condition for breeding orchids is soil, and planting in suitable soil can promote the accelerated growth of orchids.

2. The adaptability of orchids is relatively strong, in order to improve the survival rate of orchids, they should be planted in the poor soil rich in organic matter, deep soil, loose and good permeability.

3. Before the orchid is planted or potted, the planting pit should be dug first, and then the plant should be put vertically, covered with soil, the soil around the plant should be gently compacted, and the root water can be watered.

2. Water and fertilizer management.

1. Orchid watering, can be appropriately increased or decreased according to the season and climate change, generally watering 2-3 times a week in spring and autumn, top dressing every 2 weeks, be sure to choose clean water for watering, so as to be conducive to the healthy growth of orchids, pH value is acidic.

2. Orchid watering should not be excessive, in order to prevent water at the bottom of the pot from rotting roots, in addition, it is necessary to apply farm fertilizer thinly, and spray an appropriate amount of foliar fertilizer, in order to ensure that orchids can grow normally, when fertilizing, the roots of orchids and fertilizers can not be directly touched to prevent root burning, which will cause pests and diseases.

3. Temperature and light.

1. The suitable growth temperature of orchids is about 18-22, if the temperature is too low, it will affect the normal growth of orchids, resulting in reduced ornamentality.

2. Orchids are suitable for growing in a shady environment, so when maintaining orchids, it is enough to ensure a certain amount of scattered light, which is conducive to promoting the rapid growth of orchids.

Fourth, prune properly.

In order to ensure the normal growth of orchid leaves, the yellow leaves should be removed in time to prevent nutrient loss, and at the same time, in order to improve the absorption capacity of orchid roots, the soil can be properly loosened.

5. Precautions.

1. Breeding orchids must be kept ventilated at any time to prevent poor ventilation from causing air quality to decline, which will affect the normal breathing of orchids, resulting in gradual yellowing of leaves, reduced ornamentality, and in addition, it is easy to cause various pests and diseases, so we must do a good job of ventilation.

2. When watering orchids, we must pay attention to the pH value of water quality, too alkaline water is not suitable for watering orchids, the pH of water quality should be adjusted before watering, and then the acidity in the soil must be replenished regularly.

Potting soil conditions, when cultivating orchids, peat, snake wood, ceramsite and volcanic stone can be mixed into a substrate for cultivation; Water and fertilizer management, thin liquid fertilizer can be applied every 1 week, and foliar fertilizer needs to be sprayed before and after flowering; Light and temperature management, 6 8 hours of astigmatism per day; For disease prevention and control, it is necessary to ensure the ventilation of the environment in summer to reduce the breeding of germs.

Orchids are suitable for growing in loose and breathable, strong drainage performance and sufficient nutrients in the soil, in the process of soil mixing, can be mixed with peat, snake wood, ceramsite and volcanic stone to make a cultivation substrate. Choose a clay pot or clay pot with a porous bottom as a cultivation container, and spray the diluted potassium permanganate solution for sterilization and disinfection before use.

Orchids have a greater demand for nutrients during the growth period, and thin liquid fertilizer can be applied every 1 week during daily maintenance to promote the growth and development of plants. Before and after flowering, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers need to be sprayed around the leaves to promote the growth and germination of flower buds. In addition, due to the poor waterlogging tolerance of orchids, they need to be watered once in the morning and evening in summer, and every 5 days in winter.

Orchids are suitable for growing in a warm and sunny environment, and the orchids need to be placed in a sunny place for maintenance every day, and they need to be given 6 8 hours of astigmatism every day to avoid the condition of branches and leaves growing up. In addition, it is necessary to stabilize the room temperature between 20 and 30, and in the winter it is necessary to stabilize the room temperature above 6.

Orchids are susceptible to anthracnose, scale insects and other diseases in the middle of summer, which makes the leaves shrivel, yellow, wilt and rot. After discovery, it is necessary to open the window for ventilation in time to ensure indoor and outdoor air circulation. It is also necessary to spray the diluted chlorothalonil solution on the branches and leaves every 2 weeks to kill the germs and eggs produced on the plants.
