Can orchids be transplanted in winter, and in which season is orchid transplanting most suitable

Orchids are a relatively hardy flower that can be cultivated all year round. But it is necessary to know the laws of the growth and development of orchids. When orchids enter autumn, it is the flower bud differentiation stage of orchids, and it is best not to transplant them.

When transplanting, it is always inevitable to damage the orchid root system, especially the small fibrous roots around the storage stem root are all damaged, resulting in the transplanted orchid is in urgent need of nutrients required for flower bud differentiation, the root system can not be supplied or the supply is difficult, resulting in the obstruction of flower bud differentiation. The flower buds are poorly differentiated, and the orchid will not bloom the following spring.

It is possible to transplant orchids in winter. Because the first stage of flower bud differentiation, that is, physiological differentiation, ended early, it is in the second stage of flower bud differentiation, that is, flower bud morphological differentiation is ongoing. This phase is very long, usually from November to March of the following year, and is often referred to as the "vernalization" stage.

Usually transplanted 7 15 days to plant live trees, that is, the fibrous roots of orchids are damaged during transplanting to the growth of new fibrous roots after transplanting, which can normally absorb fertilizer and water, and will not have too much impact on the formation of flower buds. However, the temperature in the northern winter is too low, below 0, transplanting may cause frost damage, it is recommended not to transplant outdoors, indoors or in greenhouses, it is still possible.

In short, winter orchids are below 0, transplanting is not recommended, above 0, transplanting is no problem. After transplanting, just water the appropriate amount of planting water according to the soil moisture, and it is not necessary to water too much, which will affect rooting. You can use Bikagen to increase the survival rate.

It is not recommended to transplant.

Planting orchids in winter is generally said to be early winter, and don't plant orchids in the freezing weather of winter. In late autumn and early winter, in this case, most of the plants begin to lose their leaves, or have already lost their leaves. This corresponds to the four words of autumn harvest and winter storage, so winter is also a period of dormancy for plants.

Orchids absorb less nutrients and consume less during the dormant period, so even in winter, the orchid plant can still store some energy. The orchids potted in winter produce new roots more slowly than in spring, and the experiments of farmers have proved that the environment and planting materials and orchid species of the same school can produce new roots in 20 days in spring, while it takes 40 days in mid-autumn and late autumn, and it is believed that the time will be longer in winter.

Due to the dormancy of the orchid plant, the plant consumption is less, and the newly potted old seedlings are not as bright as in spring.

What you need to pay attention to when planting orchids in winter is:

1. Do not plant orchids in freezing weather.

2. After planting, the orchid pot, including the potting soil, should not be frozen.

3. Keep the planting material moist and try to water as little as possible.

Spring is the first season for orchids to grow in a year, and it is also a critical moment for orchids to repot, divide and germinate. At the same time, it is also the acceptance and summary of the achievements of the previous year.

The optimal temperature for orchid planting is 5-15 degrees. 10 degrees is the dormancy limit temperature for orchids. Therefore, turning the pot at about 10 degrees has the least impact on the orchid, so it can be turned in spring and autumn.

As the saying goes, "turn the grass long in spring, grow flowers in autumn, turn more long grass, and turn less long flowers". This is the principle of turning the pot that the orchid people keep in mind. Generally, turning the pot should be mastered in spring and autumn, before and after Qingming in spring, and around the autumn equinox in autumn.

Spring repotting, orchids will soon enter the vigorous growth period, so spring is better than autumn turning, hot summer, cold winter, are the dormant period of orchids. Repotting in this season is not conducive to the repotting of orchids.

The best time to transplant orchids in pots is after the orchid flowers and before the sprouts germinate. Generally in spring and autumn.

Orchids are planted in spring or autumn, the specific time is spring from March to early April and autumn from September to mid-October, these two periods of climate are warm, the temperature difference is relatively small, which is conducive to plant survival and new roots, it is not suitable to choose to plant in summer and winter, the summer temperature is too high, not only is not conducive to the recovery of plant growth, but also easy to breed bacteria, the winter temperature is too low, the orchid has poor cold resistance, is not conducive to survival.

Orchid repotting and transplanting are generally carried out in spring and autumn, with spring generally in late February to late April, and autumn in September and November. When changing the pot, first put the plants into the pot, and then slowly fill the soil, not too full, just 2cm away from the edge of the pot. When watering this way, the water is not easy to overflow.

After repotting the orchid, be careful to water it on the second or third day to avoid bacterial infestation that can cause it to rot and die. When watering, in addition to providing water, it can also exchange air, but pay attention to the watering method. When watering orchids, you can choose a watering can with fine holes and long necks to water, and swim until the bottom of the pot flows water and then stop watering, so that watering can ensure that the soil is watered evenly and is very good for the growth of the root system.

Note that do not use tap water directly when watering, you need to store tap water for a few days before use, and the bleaching powder and other substances contained in the water need to be removed.

Transplanting orchids in winter can survive, and you need to take good measures to keep warm. Precautions for transplanting orchids in winter: prune the roots, rinse the roots, cut off all the rotten and old parts, and disinfect; Soil selection, using 5:

3:2 acidic culture soil made of garden soil, humus soil and sandy soil; Water and fertilizer management, 2 to 3 days after transplanting, the soil is dry, and water is replenished when it is white, and fertilization is not recommended.

Transplanting orchids in winter can survive, just take measures to protect yourself from the cold and keep warm. The suitable planting temperature is about 15 25, the lowest can withstand between 0 10, and the outdoor temperature in the south is mostly about 10 in winter, so it can survive when transplanting, and it is not easy to be infected with bacteria. In the north, the winter temperature is mostly below zero, so it can be transplanted indoors with heating.

It is recommended that the transplanting time should be selected when the temperature is suitable in spring and autumn, and the appropriate temperature can improve the survival rate.

1. Proper pruning

When transplanting orchids in winter, you need to prune properly, dig out the roots first, rinse them with water and the branches and leaves, and then use the clean scissors that have been sterilized to cut off the rotten and old roots, branches and leaves, and apply the dorin solution to the wound after pruning for disinfection, and then put it in a ventilated and cool position to dry before potting, which can make the plant better potted and resume growth.

2. Soil selection

It is recommended to use sandy soil with high humus content and rich in trace elements for transplanting orchids in winter, and you can use 3:4:3 laterite, humus and perlite or 5:4:3

3:2 garden soil, humus soil and sandy soil are mixed to make culture soil. The pH value of the culture soil is between, which makes the soil acidic, loose and breathable, and has good drainage.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Winter transplanted orchids, should not be watered immediately, at this time the temperature is low, water evaporation is slow, watering needs to observe the soil conditions, 2 3 days later, wait until the soil is dry, white when the water is replenished, the amount of water is appropriate, to prevent waterlogging, frozen soil, the soil is in a slightly wet and dry state. Slow growth in winter, fertilization is not recommended after repotting.

There are generally two best times to transplant orchids, which are warm spring and harvest autumn, which is usually between February 16 and April 16, and autumn is usually between September and October. Transplanting an orchid during these two periods will increase its survival rate.

Planting orchids in different seasons is related to the survival rate and seedling rate. From high to low, they are: autumn, spring, winter, summer, and the worst is to grow orchids in summer.

Orchids transplanted in autumn have a low consumption and a long potting period, and may not see significant growth changes in two or three months, but it is a store of energy. Once spring comes, the autumn orchids will sprout faster, so that the whole new seedling growing season will not be missed, so the new seedlings will grow into strong grass that year.

Orchids planted in the spring are in the process of preparing for growth, and they can be potted quickly (some can grow a lot of new roots in a month), but because they are transplanted with buds, they will have some impact on the germination of new seedlings. Therefore, when the new seedlings of the transplanted orchid in the spring begin to grow normally, most of the new seedlings of the autumn orchid have been unearthed very high, and there is a gap of almost two months here.

Orchid cultivation method

First of all, the orchid seeds are evenly spread in the potting soil, covered with a thin layer of soil, then the soil is fixed by pressing the soil by hand, and then watering the appropriate amount of water, waiting for 20-30 days, the orchid seeds can take root and germinate.

Orchids can be planted in winter, but due to the weather in winter, if the maintenance is not good, it is easy to lead to freezing death, frostbite, empty roots and black spot disease, and even death, and finally it will fall short. Therefore, when planting orchids in winter, we must pay attention to good maintenance.

It is also very important to choose a room to place the orchid in the winter, you must pay attention to the sunlight to ensure photosynthesis, the temperature of the orchid can not be lower than 1 degree, to prevent frostbite, if it is below zero, move away quickly. When the weather is too cold, heat it with an electric heater.

In order for the orchid not to freeze, the orchid needs to be in a well-ventilated place so that the orchid will not freeze. When the temperature is high, open the window in time to promote air convection.

If the long-term dryness causes the strong orchid root to become empty, when you see the orchid soil dry, you should moisten the edge of the orchid soil basin and see that the topsoil is moist. The correct approach is to "don't dry and don't water", and "pour it thoroughly". Orchid pots that are too dry can be placed in water to soak in orchid pots.

Growing orchids in winter can be alive and need to be grown indoors. Before planting, it is necessary to ensure that the indoor temperature is at 10, and plant with sufficient fertility soil, and after planting, it is also necessary to apply well-rotted organic fertilizer to promote growth. To maintain orchids, first ensure sufficient light, watering in accordance with the principle of dry and thorough watering, and apply well-rotted organic fertilizer during the growth period to promote growth.

Orchids can be grown alive in winter, but they need to be carefully maintained. To plant orchids in winter, you need to plant them indoors, you need to ensure that the indoor temperature is above 10, and you need to choose sandy soil containing humus, and the soil fertility is sufficient to increase the survival rate of orchids in winter.

Before planting orchids, it is necessary to clean the soil with insect eggs and pests to prevent pests from eroding the orchids. When the orchid is planted, the roots are watered thoroughly with the first watering, then dried and then watered thoroughly, during which a low concentration of decaying organic fertilizer is applied every seven days to promote growth.

To maintain orchids, you first need to ensure that they have enough light, orchids like light, but are afraid of strong light. Orchids need to be placed in semi-shade to receive diffused full sunlight, and in hot summers, they need proper shade, and in other seasons, they can receive diffuse full sunlight.

Orchids do not require much water, and only need to be watered according to the principle of dry and thorough watering. This ensures that the orchid is well hydrated, but the potting soil does not accumulate water, causing the orchid root system to rot. During the orchid growth period, it is necessary to apply well-rotted organic fertilizer to promote growth.
