How to Cultivate Orchids How to Cultivate Orchids and Methods

1. Suitable temperature.

Breeding orchids to provide a suitable temperature environment of 15 25, so that it can grow healthily for flowering, in winter need to put the exposed orchids indoors, maintain a temperature of about 10 can safely overwinter, summer to avoid more than 30 high temperatures.

2. Water and fertilizer management.

Breeding orchids should pay attention to the principle of dry and thorough watering, watering once in spring and autumn about 2 3 days to keep the soil moist, watering in the morning and evening in summer, and apply a thin Bika water-soluble fertilizer solution in the growth period of orchids about 2 3 weeks to supplement nutrients for growth.

3. Sufficient light.

In the cultivation methods and precautions of orchids, it is necessary to provide sufficient light for it, place it under astigmatism and receive about 3 or 4 hours of light, and shade it from 9 o'clock to 6 o'clock in the afternoon to avoid sunburn orchids.

4. Suitable soil.

Orchids should also choose loose soil when breeding, you can prepare garden soil, vermiculite and river sand in accordance with the ratio of 3:1:1, and add a little base fertilizer to make the soil more fertile and promote the growth of orchids.

Choose a slightly larger pot for planting orchids, fill the part below 1 2 with stones, tiles and shells, etc., and then fill in 2 3 cm thick orchid soil, put the plants into the righting, filling, lifting, shaking, compacting, laying stones or moss on the surface, and placing them in a cool and ventilated position after watering, which is a complete orchid planting method.

How to grow orchids for beginners?

How to grow orchids:1. Potting soil selection: Planting orchids should use humus, perlite, and river sand to prepare the base soil, and choose loose and porous flower pots as planting utensils.

2. Seedling selection and planting: select seedlings with good growth, and plant them in the soil after root trimming treatment.

3. Later management: water soybean cake water every half month during the growth period, and replenish water in time after the potting soil is dry.

4. Soil selection: When planting orchids, coarse humus should be used, which can be mixed with an appropriate amount of garden soil, which has better air permeability and nutrients, which is more conducive to later growth.

5. Pot selection: When planting, it is recommended to choose a plastic pot with holes on the side, which has good air permeability and is conducive to watering.

To cultivate orchids, you should prepare soft, breathable, well-drained, fertile soil in advance, or you can also buy nutrient soil. Treat orchid seedlings: cut off the rotten roots, old roots, and dead roots of orchids, and prune yellow, dry leaves.

Planting method: first lay gravel at the bottom of the pot, then add nutrient soil, put in orchid seedlings, fill the soil while lifting the seedlings, and water thoroughly after planting. Strengthen management:

In the later stage, it is necessary to reasonably control the temperature, strengthen ventilation, and pay attention to fertilizer and water management.

1. Prepare potting soil. Orchids have high requirements for soil, so it is best to prepare a soft, breathable, and well-drained substrate, mix it with humus, river sand, and perlite, and apply basal fertilizer to the soil to improve soil fertility. The pot should also be made of permeable material, and the bottom must have drainage holes.

The soil prepared by yourself should also be disinfected in advance to avoid residual bacteria or insect eggs. Orchid soil can also be purchased.

Second, the treatment of orchid seedlings. Whether it is a self-cultivated orchid seedling or a purchased orchid seedling, it must be treated before being cultivated in the soil, and the rotten roots, old roots, and dead roots must be cut off, leaving only a strong root system. If there are yellow leaves and dry leaves, they should also be cut off to reduce nutrient and water consumption.

After treatment, it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry properly, dry the wound and then plant it in a pot.

3. Planting method. When the orchid seedlings are potted, a layer of gravel should be laid at the bottom of the pot, which can improve the air permeability and water permeability of the potting soil. Then put in the prepared nutrient soil, put the orchid seedlings on the soil, and fill the soil while lifting the seedlings, so that the root system and the soil are tightly combined.

After filling the soil, the surrounding soil should be compacted and watered once to allow the soil and seedlings to absorb enough water.

Fourth, strengthen management. Orchids have relatively high requirements for the environment, and they must be managed to do so. It prefers a slightly cooler, well-ventilated, and moist environment.

If the soil is dry, it is necessary to replenish water in time to ensure that the soil is slightly wet. If the climate is dry, not only watering, but also spraying water frequently to increase the humidity. It is best to provide an environment between 18-25.

The temperature in summer is high, and ventilation must be strengthened in the high temperature environment to ensure air circulation. In addition, in the peak growing season, thin fertilizer should be applied frequently, and sufficient nutrition can grow vigorously.

To plant orchids, first choose a pot with a diameter of 10 cm, put 3 parts of humus and 1 part of perlite prepared soil in the pot, then dig a 1 cm pit, put the orchid into the covered soil, pat it slightly, and finally water along the pot until the soil is moist, put it in a cool place after watering, and wait for 3 days to survive.

Flower pot selection is the first step in how to plant orchids, the diameter of the pot can be about 10 cm, because when the orchid is just planted, the root system is smaller, so the best flower pot is the most suitable to choose a smaller one, it is best to choose a tile pot, its moisturizing ability and permeability are relatively strong.

If you want to grow well, it is best to choose 3 parts of humus and 1 part of perlite to prepare the soil, such a soil, the nutritional value is very high, and the preparation method is relatively simple, but when choosing humus, it is best to choose thick particles, which is more conducive to the respiration of the roots.

After completing the above steps, you need to plant, first dig a small hole with a diameter of 1 cm in the soil, then put the orchid seedlings into the pit, cover it with 3 cm of soil, and pat it slightly, so that the soil is more compact, which is more conducive to the growth of orchids.

After planting, you need to water the soil thoroughly, but when watering, be careful not to water the roots to prevent damage to the roots, you can spray along the perimeter of the pot to water, and then place it in a ventilated place, wait for 3 days before the orchid can survive.

The best way to cultivate orchids is to use orchid fungus soil or phytolite, or you can use small stones to add small stones to the fire soil, prune off the inside of the orchid root damage, soak it in a diluted potassium permanganate solution for half an hour, and then plant it in a pot, and finally cover the surface of the soil with a layer of small stones to water it.

Orchid seedling stage is relatively fragile, so it is best to choose a soil with strong air permeability and more nutrients, the commonly used fertilizer for breeding orchids is orchid soil and phytophyll, we can also configure the soil ourselves, add a small amount of cinder and small stones to the fire soil, which can increase the moisturizing capacity.

In the orchid cultivation method, the plant also needs to be treated, first prune off the rotten roots of the orchid plant and the damaged roots, it is best to retain more than 4 strong roots, and then dilute the potassium permanganate solution 1000 times to soak the orchid seedlings for 40 minutes and then take them out, and then clean the orchid seedlings with water and place them in a cool place for drying, and the orchid roots can be potted without water droplets.

Choose the appropriate size pot to carefully place the orchid seedlings at the bottom of the pot, and then pour the prepared soil slowly, during which the orchid seedlings can be slowly lifted slightly, so that the roots of the orchid are in close contact with the soil, and be careful not to expose the roots.

After planting, the soil needs to be covered with a layer of small stones and ceramsite and other materials, which can prevent the roots from being exposed during watering, play a good role in protecting the roots, supplement nutrition and increase the appreciation value, so that the orchid can adapt to the surrounding environment in a short time and survive earlier.

If the temperature is good when planting, the roots are very strong, you need to water the roots immediately, if the roots are damaged, you need to wait for about two days, and then water after the root wounds have healed, if the climate is cold, you need a small amount of watering, as long as the soil is slightly wet.

(1) First of all, solve the environment of the orchid planting site.

Orchid cultivation can be divided into garden planting and large-scale planting in the field. Generally, families can choose to raise orchids on balconies or rooftops, and they can also build sheds on window sills. Glass greenhouses can be built if conditions permit.

However, the planting site, whether on the balcony, roof or window sill, should be properly shaded to block the sun and wind heat, and there should be good ventilation conditions and proper humidity. When it is too hot in summer, a movable shading net is added to the roof of the shed to flexibly control the light.

2) Choose good planting materials and pots.

Orchid pot: The orchid pot is the living room of the orchid, which has a great impact on the growth of the orchid. In the past, large tile pots were used for traditional orchid cultivation, and now small trumpet pots are mostly used for high-grade orchids.

There are clay pots and plastic pots, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. What kind of pot to use depends on each person's habits and cultivar. However, it is best to use the same orchid basin with different sizes and specifications in an orchid shed, so as to facilitate unified management in the future.

Planting material: Orchid planting material (base material) used to use pond mud, and now the planting material is changed to pond foundation stone, floating stone, weathered stone, absorbent stone, pottery and other planting materials. Most of the field planters use soft planting materials such as sawdust, chaff, slag, cinder, sea sand, peanut shell, etc., and use foam plastic to cushion the bottom.

There is a lot of mixed use. Each of these feeds has its own advantages and disadvantages. The best planting material to use also depends on each person's habits, the type of cultivation and the potting equipment used (the potting and planting material are compatible with each other).

3) It is necessary to constantly sum up experience in practice.

In order to grow orchids well, it is also necessary to master the management of watering, fertilization, and disease and pest control. Among them, the fertilization principle should generally be applied on sunny days, and the fertilization principle should be thin, diligent, and not applied during hibernation. It is recommended to participate in the practice of raising orchids, usually read more books, visit more, ask more advice, ask questions if you don't understand, and constantly explore and summarize lessons in practice, so as to continuously improve the technical level of orchid planting.
