Why are many of the roots of Junzi Orchid empty?

The root cause of the appearance of empty roots is due to the loss of water in a dry environment for a long time. To put an end to the Junzi Lan empty roots, there are two specific measures.

First, the watering should be sufficient, and the "half water" should be eliminated. Watering the orchid is a basic skill of raising an orchid, and it is also a difficult problem to master. The so-called "half-cut water" refers to the moderate moisture of the upper half of the planting material in the orchid pot, while the lower part is dry.

This is the crux of Langen's hollow roots. There are two ways to put an end to this phenomenon: one is to water the orchid several times repeatedly, and do not stop watering as soon as you see the water flowing at the bottom of the orchid pot.

In fact, sometimes if you water the orchid a little bit, there will be water flowing out from the bottom of the orchid pot, but the internal planting material is dry. Therefore, it is necessary to repeatedly water several times to ensure that the planting material is fully moistened. The second is to use the "sitting pot" (soaking pot) method for watering.

That is, the orchid pot is placed in a container containing water, so that the surface height of the potting soil is basically the same as the height of the water surface in the container, so that the water slowly rises from the bottom of the pot to fully moisten the planting material. This method of watering is most uniform and sufficient.

Second, the planting material should be mixed evenly to ensure that the potting soil is in full contact with the root. "If a single root does not touch the soil, its roots are empty." It's really a matter of experience.

Practice has proved that the contact between the potting soil and the root is not sufficient, and after a long time, the root will lose water in the air, and the phenomenon of empty roots will appear. Based on this, this requires the orchid keeper to fully mix the planting material when planting the Junzi orchid, fill it in turn according to the order of large, medium and small particles, and pat the pot wall to make its pot soil fully contact with the orchid root after adding a layer of planting material. Further increase the contact surface between the root and the planting material, and then incorporate it into the daily management, if properly managed, it can effectively avoid the occurrence of the phenomenon of Junzi Orchid empty root.

Maybe you're watering too much.

Stop watering. Let him bask in the sun and try it.

What is the cause of Junzi Lankonggen?

1. Natural aging.

The root system of Junzi Orchid can only survive for about three years, and it is difficult for new roots to germinate if the roots are not cultivated for a long time, and empty roots will appear after a long time. It is recommended to change the soil as soon as possible, prune the rotten roots, and replant.

2. Improper fertilization.

Applying thick fertilizer to it will produce fertilizer damage, resulting in root rot and empty roots. It is recommended to change the soil once as soon as possible, prune the rotten roots, replant, and apply the diluted Bika water-soluble fertilizer in the later stage, and do not apply unrotted organic fertilizer.

3. Watering too much.

Its root system is fleshy and not tolerant to waterlogging. Watering too much can hinder the respiration of the root system and easily lead to empty roots. To water it, you need to control the amount of water, and then water it when the soil is dry, moisturize it, and it is strictly forbidden to accumulate water.

4. Soil discomfort.

Too much stickiness of the soil can hinder root respiration, resulting in empty roots. Once found, the soil should be changed as soon as possible to ensure that the soil used is breathable, soft, permeable and slightly acidic, so that it can grow vigorously in such a soil environment.

The methods of rooting are as follows: depotting and trimming roots, disinfection and drying roots, wrapping with moss, and maintaining hair roots.

1. Depotting and root trimming

After finding that the root rot of the orchid is serious, timely depotting and pruning, mainly pruning the rotten roots and leaves, especially pruning the root system, to prune off all the rotten positions, all the blackened positions are cut off, if the cut is not clean, it is easy to cause the wound to re-infect, then it will continue to rot, which is not conducive to wound healing and rooting.

2. Disinfect and dry the roots

After pruning, to prune the wound to disinfect, the use of plant ash or fungicide, commonly used fungicides are carbendazim, potassium permanganate and other pesticides, good sterilization effect, generally soaked in disinfection and sterilization after 10 minutes, and then take out the upside down hanging natural roots, let the wound dry naturally, do not immediately wrap the moss, which is easy to lead to wound infection, it is recommended to wait for the wound to have some hair curls and then wrap the moss for maintenance.

3. Moss wrapping

After disinfection and drying of the roots, wrap the water moss for maintenance, it is recommended to use fresh water moss, before using the water moss, it is recommended to disinfect the water moss to avoid cross-infection, after wrapping the root system of the Junzi Orchid with water moss, put it in a cup and water it thoroughly for maintenance, it is recommended to put it in a shaded and cool place for maintenance, do not expose to the sun, do not fertilize.

4. Maintain hair roots

Later maintenance to keep the pot soil slightly moist maintenance on the line, of course, do not water too often, do not fertilize, quiet maintenance, generally about 3 months later, the rotten root part of the junzi orchid will soon emerge a lot of roots, it is not difficult to achieve small white root bursting, in fact, the key point of the moss root is the later watering maintenance, try to be lazy.

Orchid breeding techniques

1. Temperature

Monarch Orchid prefers a slightly cooler climate, is afraid of high temperatures, and is not tolerant of high temperatures. The temperature at which it grows is between 15 and 25. When the temperature exceeds 30 and falls below 10, it is necessary to take temperature control measures in time.

In summer, high temperatures should be ventilated, strong light should be blocked in time, and water should be sprayed frequently to cool down. In winter, it is necessary to move indoors and control the temperature reasonably to keep warm.

2. Illumination

Junzi Lan likes light and also has a certain ability to tolerate shade, but is afraid of strong light exposure. The light in late spring, summer, and early autumn is relatively strong, so it is necessary to avoid it in time to avoid sunburn. The light in early spring, late autumn and winter is very soft, so you can put it in a place with good lighting, let it bask in the sun more, and meet its demand for light, so that it will grow vigorously and better draw flower arrows and flower.

3. Watering

The root system of the orchid is fleshy, has a certain drought tolerance, and is afraid of waterlogging. You don't need to water it too often, just water it when the soil is dry. If the soil is damp, there is no need to water, watering too often can not absorb it, but it is easy to root and lead to root rot.

In addition, it has certain requirements for air humidity, if the climate is drier, it is recommended to put a pot of water around the pot, or often spray water around to increase the humidity.

Soaking in medicine: Add water and rooting powder to the container and stir evenly, soak the orchid in it, and take out the hydroponics after 5 minutes. Wood chips hair roots:

After cleaning the wound of the orchid, it was planted in the sawdust to re-root. Roots in sugar water: Soak the bulbs in sugar water for 24 hours, then take them out for hydroponics.

1. Soak in the agent

Prepare a container that is almost the same size as the orchid plant, add water and rooting powder and stir evenly, then wash the orchid and put it into the solution to soak, take it out after 5 minutes for hydroponics, or directly put the rootless orchid in the container for hydroponics, and then add rooting agent later.

2. Wood chips are rooted

When the orchid has no root system, it is first necessary to clean up the rotten part of the wound to expose fresh internal tissue, and then apply carbendazim solution to the wound, and place it in a ventilated place to dry.

3. Sugar water roots

Clean the bulbs without roots, then soak and disinfect them with potassium permanganate solution, then prepare a portion of sugar water, and soak the bulbs of the orchid in sugar water for 24 hours, and finally take them out for hydroponics to re-root them, pay attention to the concentration of sugar water can not be too large.

4. Maintenance method

In the usual maintenance process, it is not advisable to water too much, otherwise the pot will produce stagnant water, and the root system will rot and mold, and fertilizer can not be applied raw fertilizer and thick fertilizer, it is advisable to dilute the rotten fertilizer, it is recommended to replace the potting soil for the plant once a year to ensure that the root system breathes smoothly.

White sugar water rooting, you can put the bulb of Junzi orchid clear and clean, soak it in white sugar water for 24 hours, and then take it out for hydroponics; Soaking in medicine, you can sterilize the rootless Junzi orchid and place it until Schengen minutes, soak it for 5 minutes, and then take out the roots; To dry and root, you can place the orchid in the sun and then place it in a container for hydroponic rooting.

You can use water to clean and disinfect the bulbs of the orchid, and then prepare a pot slightly larger than the bulb as a container, pour a small amount of Qingshui River sugar into the container, and then soak the bulbs in water for 24 hours, and then take it out for hydroponics.

You can pour water and rooting agent into the soaked container, put the rootless Monarch Orchid into the container after disinfection, soak it for 5 minutes and take it out, or you can directly place the Monarch Orchid into the soaking container for hydroponics, and mix a small amount of rooting agent to make it root as soon as possible.

Orchid needs a sufficient amount of water and nutrients in the process of rooting, it can be directly placed in a ventilated and cool environment to dry, take it out and place it in a hydroponic container after half a day, and mix a small amount of water, be careful not to let the leaves contact with the bulb, just ensure that the leaves are in a slightly moist state.

It should be noted that after the water quality is found to be turbid in the process of hydroponic orchid, the water needs to be changed in time to avoid the growth of bacteria in the water and affect the normal growth of the orchid. In addition, in the process of daily maintenance of tiger orchid, it is necessary to ensure the ventilation of the environment, and strictly control the amount of watering to avoid water accumulation in the soil, so that the orchid can grow healthily.

1. Drying the roots: Take the orchid out of the pot and dry it with the roots facing down for 2-3 days. 2. Change the pot:

The dried roots of the orchid are planted in the base soil prepared with sandy soil and original soil. 3. Watering: Water thoroughly around the edge of the pot to avoid the soil being half dry and half wet.

4. Fertilization: Apply diluted fertilizer with nitrogen fertilizer as the main fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer as the supplement for Junzi Orchid.

1. Dry the roots

After the phenomenon of empty roots of the orchid, it should be dug out of the potting soil, the residual soil of the roots should be removed, and then the roots of the orchid should be put into the pot with the root system facing down, waiting for 2-3 days, at this time, the water in the root system is gradually lost, and the plant's demand for water increases.

2. Change the pot:

After drying, the orchid should be replanted in the potting soil for maintenance, first mix the loose and breathable, sterile and harmless sandy soil and the original soil in a ratio of 1:1, and then plant the roots of the orchid in a pot to ensure that the roots are in full contact with the soil, and then apply organic liquid fertilizer to the potting soil.

3. Watering

After the planting is completed, it is necessary to water the Junzi orchid along the edge of the pot until there is water flowing out at the bottom of the pot, which means that the soil is watered thoroughly and the water supply can be stopped, and the watering should be watered around the edge of the pot, not a single watering side, otherwise it can only moisten a part of the soil and affect the growth of the root system.

4. Fertilization

After the growth of the orchid recovers, it is necessary to apply a fertilizer based on nitrogen fertilizer and supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote the growth of rhizomes, and the fertilizer should be diluted and used when fertilizing, rather than directly applied to avoid fertilizer damage to the orchid.
