How to raise spider orchids, how to raise spider orchids

Spider plants prefer warm, moist, sunny environments, and can be grown using fertile, well-drained, sandy soil, and keeping the potting soil moist. In winter, you need to protect yourself from frost and get more sun, and in summer, you need to place the spider orchid in a shade place, and you need to prune it when changing pots to maintain a good plant shape.

1. Light adjustment

Spider orchid is suitable for growing in a warm and humid environment, not sun-resistant, so in the maintenance of spider orchid can not be directly exposed to the sun, if the sun is strong to block the light for the spider orchid, when the air is relatively dry, you can spray water on the leaves of the spider orchid to increase its humidity.

2. Soil demand

Spider orchids like moisture and are suitable for planting in loose and fertile soils with good drainage. Potting soil can be prepared with 2 parts compost, 3 parts humus, and 5 parts garden soil. And it is best to change the pot once a year, so as to ensure that the spider orchid has sufficient nutrition, so that it can grow better, and prevent the yellowing of the leaves of the spider orchid.

3. Watering rules

When watering, it is necessary to pay attention not to water too much, so as not to cause too much water in the spider plant pot or poor drainage, so that the spider orchid has rotten roots. Spider orchids prefer a moist environment, so they can increase moisture** in the summer and need to be watered less in the winter.

4. Change potting and pruning

As the spider orchid grows, in order to maintain a good plant shape, it is necessary to prune the old leaves frequently. When changing pots, we should pay attention to the root system of the spider plant, when there are rotten roots or old roots on the root system, it needs to be cut off, and if the old leaves are found on the plant, they should also be cut off in time, so as not to affect the beauty of the spider orchid.

The key to raising a good spider plant is to do 3 things well. First, ensure a warm and semi-shady maintenance environment. Raising spider plants can not be too shaded, let alone exposed to the sun.

Second, watering should be dry and thorough. Spider plants are fleshy roots, potting soil is not dry, and must not be watered. Third, fertilization should be applied thinly and frequently.

Thick fertilizer is easy to burn the roots. To do these three things, it is not difficult to raise well.

Pruning method of spider plant:

1. Cut off the dead branches and yellow leaves on the periphery, and cut off the scorched parts on the tips of the leaves.

2. Don't cut flat but obliquely, it's best to cut a knife on both sides obliquely, which will look more natural.

3. Usually cut off the yellow leaves at any time, and turn the pot once a year in March to cut off the old roots, rotten roots and excess fibrous roots.

Spider plants are still more itchy, and you can usually teach more water.

Soil conditions, when cultivating spider orchids, garden soil, mud and sand, and perlite can be mixed into a substrate for cultivation; Water and fertilizer management, watering every 2 3 days, in the morning and evening, and 2 3 times of liquid fertilizer every month; light, it can be placed in a ventilated and cool astigmatism place for maintenance; Pruning and leaf pruning requires shortening of branches and leaves that grow too long to reduce nutrient consumption.

Spider orchid is suitable for growing in loose soil, deep soil layer and strong drainage. When mixing soil, garden soil, mud and sand soil, and perlite can be mixed into a cultivation substrate, and an appropriate amount of well-decomposed organic fertilizer can be mixed to improve the fertility of the soil. Note that the soil needs to be turned and dried before use to kill germs and insect eggs in the soil.

Spider plant is suitable for growing in a humid environment, daily maintenance can be watered every 2 3 days to ensure that the soil is in a slightly moist state, in the summer water evaporation is faster, need to be watered once in the morning and evening, soak all the soil. In addition, liquid fertilizer needs to be applied 2 to 3 times a month to make the branches and leaves of spider orchids grow more vigorously.

Spider plant is suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment, and needs to be placed in a ventilated and cool astigmatism place in spring, autumn and winter to give all-weather astigmatism. In summer, proper shade is required, and natural light can be given for 2 hours every morning to avoid leaf burns.

Due to the rapid growth rate of spider plant, it is necessary to regularly observe its growth state and prune it in time during daily maintenance. For the long branches, it is necessary to prune them in a short way, and remove the yellow leaves and dead leaves in time. If the plant shape of the spider plant is too messy, it needs to be pruned and shaped in time to make it more ornamental.

1. Sufficient water: keep the soil moist and water in time in summer. 2. Lighting conditions:

It can be placed in a bright location in spring, autumn and winter, and moved to a cool place in summer during the high temperature season. 3. Sufficient nutrients: apply liquid fertilizer 2-3 times a month during the growth period.

4. Proper pruning: short pruning of long leaves, cutting off yellow leaves and dead leaves.

1. Sufficient moisture

Hanging orchid likes to grow in the soil with sufficient moisture, daily maintenance, try to keep the soil slightly moist, especially in the hot season, the water evaporation rate is relatively fast, if not watered in time, it is easy to wilt, pay attention to summer watering as much as possible in the morning or evening.

2. Lighting conditions:

Spider orchid likes to grow in a semi-shady environment, spring, autumn and winter three seasons need to be placed in a position with astigmatism, summer light is stronger, must be shaded, every morning 2 hours of sun can be, so as not to wither yellow leaves.

3. Sufficient nutrients

Spider orchid has a relatively good fertilizer tolerance, daily maintenance, can be regularly applied to fertilizer, to ensure that the nutrients are sufficient, is conducive to the growth of the plant more vigorous, apply 2-3 times a month liquid fertilizer, so that the root system absorption, do not apply thick fertilizer.

4. Trim properly

The growth rate of spider orchid is faster, in the process of breeding, it should be properly pruned, the leaves of the long leaves should be cut short, and the yellow leaves and dead leaves should be removed, if the spider orchid grows messy, it should be pruned and shaped, and the beautiful shape should be maintained.

Spider plant grows very quickly, if you want the spider plant to grow strong and burst quickly, fertilizer and water must keep up. In the vigorous growth season, thin fertilizer should be applied 2-3 times a month, and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer should be used for fertilization, and nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied for a long time, otherwise it is easy to cause spider plant to grow and not strong enough. Appropriate supplementation of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can make the spider plant grow more robust and enhance the resistance of the spider plant to the external environment.
