When is the best time to divide orchids?

Orchids that grow normally will sprout new seedlings every year, and if there are too many seedlings in a pot for a long time, it will affect the growth and flowering. Therefore, after the new seedlings grow, it is best to divide the pots, and keep 3 5 seedlings in one pot. Potting orchids is generally carried out in spring and autumn, some flower friends ask:

Is it better to pot orchids in spring or autumn? Spring and autumn potting have their own benefits, and different varieties of orchids can choose different potting times. Personally, I think it is better to divide the pot after the orchid than before the flower, and I have always done this, so let's talk about my reasons.

Orchids such as spring orchid and orchid, the flowering period is generally in winter and early spring, autumn is their budding period, the temperature gradually drops, the new roots are not easy to grow after the pot, and the growth of flower buds will be affected after the old roots are damaged, which can easily lead to flower budding or stunted development, and can not bloom in winter and spring or the flowering quality is low. Some slow-growing orchids may not grow new roots for a whole winter after potting in autumn, and they will not grow until the temperature warms up in the spring of the next year, during which they are prone to yellowing of leaf tips or yellowing and death of leaves. WhileIn spring, there is no such problem after flowering, the temperature gradually rises, everything recovers, and the new roots of the orchid can grow soon after the pot, fully absorb nutrients and water to grow new shoots, and prepare for the next flowering early.

However, there is also a problem with dividing orchids in spring, that is, bacteria are active, and the roots are not well treated, and it is easy to infect rotten roots. Therefore, when there is a wound, try to dry it to allow the wound to heal naturally, or stain a little grass ash on the wound to kill bacteria and astringent the wound. The newly planted orchid medium should not be too wet and ventilated.

The problem of potting orchids in autumn is relatively less serious, and the activity of bacteria decreases when the temperature drops, and the wound can be planted with a little treatment, and the chance of wound infection is relatively small.

Like Jianlan, it can bloom in early summer or autumn, so it is recommended to divide the pot after flowering in autumn and have less impact on the plant。If you divide the pot in the spring, it is in the budding period, which may affect the summer flower. If you think it doesn't matter if you can bloom in summer, then divide the pot in spring, slow potting fast, grow fast, and reasonable maintenance will definitely produce a good wave of flowers in autumn.

When the orchid is in the pot, some flower friends will use carbendazim water to sterilize the roots. This is necessary when it comes to caring for other flowers, but it is recommended not to do so when raising orchids. Because there are orchid fungi in the roots of orchids, orchids are beneficial to the growth of orchids, and when soaking the roots with carbendazim, they will kill the harmful bacteria and the orchid fungi, affecting the recovery and growth of orchids.

Most orchids bloom in winter and spring, so spring is the best time to pot them. When the temperature is between 15 and 28 degrees, it is time to divide the orchid. Note that the time to pot orchids in spring should not be too late, on the one hand, new shoots will grow after a long time after the flowers are gone, and the potting may be damaged.

On the other hand, when the temperature is too high after potting, new roots are not easy to grow, which affects the differentiation of flower buds in summer.

I recommend potting orchids after their flowers have failed. Because after the flowers bloom and fail, the orchids need to be carefully maintained. Dividing the orchid before delicate maintenance can promote better growth.

Spring and autumn are the most suitable. In spring, potting can be done from the spring equinox to the valley rain, which can avoid damage to the shoots. In autumn, the orchids can be repotted during the period between the autumn equinox and the fall of frost, when the orchids enter a dormant state.

Except for the cold winter and summer, the most suitable time is two, eight-point orchid (that is, February and August of the lunar calendar) is the best time, and the Gregorian calendar is around March and September, the temperature difference is small, and it has little impact on the orchid branch after potting. The ramets must be potted on sunny and warm days, avoiding rainy and cold weather, otherwise it will bring inconvenience to the operation and will also affect the normal growth of seedlings in the future.

What is the best season to pot "orchids"? Spring? Or autumn? Actually, it's not true!

Flower friends who raise orchids know that there can not be too many seedlings in a pot, generally 3-5 seedlings are the most suitable, because the space and nutrients of the potting soil are limited, if there are too many seedlings in a pot, too crowded, it will seriously affect its growth, and it will not grow well, not to mention whether it will bloom!

Therefore, we raise orchids, when there are more and more new seedlings, we must give it a pot in time, when it comes to the pot, the question comes, what season is the most suitable to divide the pot? Is it spring, or is it autumn?

Let me tell you: to divide the orchid into pots, we can't look at the season, generally after the flower, or when the temperature is between 18-28 degrees, based on this principle, to see whether it is a spring pot, or an autumn pot!

For example, the home planting rate is very high, spring orchid, orchid, they are generally in winter, or early spring when flowering, according to the principle of potting after flowering, then the spring pot is just right, and the temperature is also suitable at that time!

Why? Because if it is an orchid that blooms in winter or early spring, it is differentiating flower buds and giving birth to flower buds in autumn and winter, and the root system will be more or less damaged after being potted, and once the root system is damaged, it will seriously affect the differentiation of its flower buds, resulting in a decrease in the number of pregnant buds, or the flower buds will directly dry up, even if they open, the fragrance may not be strong. Don't you say?

In fact, the seedlings of orchids must be operated with caution when dividing, if there are small seedlings to separate, it will affect its seedling rate and survival rate. When dividing plants, it is necessary to pay attention to the strength, size and health of the seedlings, and also take into account the factors of the season.

Clause. First, the adult seedlings are suitable for separation.

Orchids can be separated normally only when the plant grows to adult seedlings and has small buds at the bottom. If the seedlings of the orchid are very small and have small buds, it is not suitable for distribution at this time.

Especially the small seedlings that have been planted have not yet opened their leaves, and they must not be divided. Because there is no small seedling with a mouth, it has no root system, and it cannot grow independently after separation. The prerequisite for dividing is that the seedlings have been able to grow independently, and the root system at the bottom is developed enough, so it is the best and most correct way to divide the orchid, and the survival rate will be greatly improved.

Clause. Second, healthy orchid seedlings can be separated.

When dividing orchids, take a look at whether the mother plant of the orchid is healthy? Healthy orchid seedlings can recover quickly after separation, and the seedlings grow quickly. If the orchid has a bacterial infection and the leaves are unhealthy, and the plant is too weak, do not divide it again.

If the plant is too weak, the seedlings are slowed down after seedling, and the potting is also slow, and the adaptability to the environment is particularly poor, and it is easy to die, and the survival rate is particularly low.

Clause. Third, the season of seedlings.

It is best to divide orchid seedlings during the peak growth period of orchids, such as spring or autumn, both of which are the peak growth stages. It is best to be between 15 degrees and 25 degrees Celsius, at this time it is neither cold nor hot, the plant grows slowly, the seedlings are fast, the pot is fast, and the old plants can also send out new orchid seedlings after separation, which is particularly beneficial to the reproduction of orchids.

It is usually divided into pots in March-April in the spring or September-October in the fall. The best time to pot orchids varies depending on the orchid species. It can be done every time at noon and can make the orchid grow better.

Orchid pot correct potting method: When the orchid pot is divided, pull the plant out of the pot, then prune the roots, separate the rhizomes in the order of the stems, then soak them with disinfectant, and finally dry them in the shade. The prepared plant material is added to the pot, and the plant is placed in the soil, which is slowly filled and the plant is fixed.

Precautions for potted orchids: water the weak seedlings separately after planting: use wet soil for potted orchids, and slowly maintain the seedlings after potting.

In general, watering can be done after the wet soil used for potting has dried. When watering, it is recommended to water the seedlings thoroughly for the first time, keep the potting soil moist for ten days, and let the potting soil dry and wet alternately after ten days. Zhuang Miao:

For the strong seedlings of orchids, after the roots are dried, they are watered directly in the pot and maintained with solid root water. The soil is moist for the first 5 days, which is conducive to rooting, and the soil is moist and dry in the later stage. What kind of soil should I use for potted orchids?

Loose, airy, permeable, humus soil can be used to grow potted orchids. It can be prepared with 5 parts of sawdust, 3 parts of humus, and 2 parts of coarse sand. Generally speaking, if the pots are divided in autumn, it will take 2-3 months for the plants to fully pass the potting period and return to normal growth.

Fertilizing potted orchids is very fragile to the root system of orchids. Even with proper maintenance, it takes three months to fertilize the plant. If you are too anxious to apply fertilizer, it will not be able to harvest it by sucking holes and burning out the roots.

Orchids are best potted in spring and autumn.

It is best to divide orchid seedlings in the peak growth period of orchids, that is, spring or autumn, these two seasons are the stage of vigorous growth of orchids, which and the temperature of the time is between 15-25 degrees, neither cold nor hot, orchids grow fast, slow seedlings are fast, and the old plants can also send out new orchid seedlings after potting, which is particularly beneficial to the reproduction of orchids.

There is also a problem with dividing orchids in spring, that is, bacteria are active, and the roots are not well treated, and it is easy to infect rotten roots. Therefore, try to air dry the roots to heal naturally, or stain a little grass ash on the roots to play a role in sterilization and astringency. The newly planted orchid medium should not be too wet and ventilated.

Orchid growth environment requirements:

1. Light: Orchids like shade and are afraid of direct light. During the growth period, it is best to put it in a good environment with astigmatism, and bask in more astigmatism, which can promote its more vigorous growth and better flowering.

During the maintenance period, it should only be exposed to the light in early spring, late autumn and winter, and should not be exposed to the sun at other times.

2. Humidity: The growth of orchids has high requirements for air humidity and soil moisture, prefers a humid environment, and is not drought tolerant. If you find that the soil is dry, you should water it in time and moisturize it.

3. Ventilation: Orchids like a well-ventilated environment, and we must pay attention to ventilation during maintenance. If you are in a closed environment for a long time, you are prone to various poor growth conditions, and even be infected with pests and diseases.

4. Temperature: Orchids like a warm environment and are not cold tolerant. The temperature after the winter is low, we must pay attention to the temperature control treatment, and the potted plant maintenance must be moved to a warm place indoors, and the temperature is best controlled at more than 10.

5. Nutrients: Orchids like nutrient-rich soil, and their resistance to barrenness is not high. When cultivating, it is necessary to use humus-rich soil, and in the peak growing season, it is necessary to properly apply Bika water-soluble fertilizer to meet the nutrient demand.

Orchids are most suitable for spring and autumn equinox pots.

It is best to divide orchid seedlings in the peak growth period of orchids, that is, spring or autumn, these two seasons are the stage of vigorous growth of orchids, which and the temperature of the time is between 15-25 degrees, neither cold nor hot, orchids grow fast, slow seedlings are fast, and the old plants can also send out new orchid seedlings after potting, which is particularly beneficial to the reproduction of orchids.

How to divide orchids into pots

1. Do not water the orchid within a week to ten days before potting, so that the potting soil is kept dry, so as to protect the root toughness and avoid damage to the roots when potting.

2. Take out the orchid plant, remove the soil, clean the roots of the orchid plant, and disinfect and dry the whole plant. After drying, in a relatively open place in the middle of the orchid plant, break it into two clusters, if the orchid has more branches and leaves, you can divide several more clusters, each cluster is not less than 3-5 seedlings.

3. Smear the wound of the orchid plant with sulfur powder or fungicide, and then place it in a cool place for about 7 days, without watering, and place it until the root cut surface of the orchid seedling heals.

4. After placing the seedling roots, you can plant, the seedling roots should be closely combined with the pot soil, put the plant in the center of the pot, so that the roots are evenly distributed, grasp the seedling roots with one hand, fill the culture soil with the other hand, water thoroughly after the pot, put it in a cool and humid place, and then properly control the amount of water until new shoots grow.

Orchid potting is usually done in March and April each year.

Orchid potting should be carried out according to the time, usually waiting for the orchid to enter the dormant period and then dividing the pot, at this time the plant stops growing, the potting has little impact on it, and it should be divided into pots once every 2-3 years, in March and April every year.

Remove the orchid from the soil, preferably with clods of soil, to reduce the effect on the roots of the plant, then rinse the roots, soak them in potassium permanganate solution, take them out after about 30 minutes, and place them in a cool, ventilated place to dry.

Break the orchid from the middle, you can also cut it with scissors, divide it into two bushes, each bush can not be less than 3-5 seedlings, and then spray carbendazim on the wound for disinfection, you can also use grass to change the ash of Lusun, put it in a cool place after disinfection, and you can not water it within 7 days, and wait for the wound to scab.

Precautions for dividing orchid pots

1. Potting time

Orchid potting should be carried out according to the time, usually waiting for the orchid to enter the dormant period and then dividing the pot, at this time the plant stops growing, the potting has little impact on it, and it should be divided into pots once every 2-3 years, in March and April every year.

2. Treat the root system

Remove the orchid from the soil, preferably with clods of soil, to reduce the effect on the roots of the plant, then rinse the roots, soak them in potassium permanganate solution, take them out after about 30 minutes, and place them in a cool, ventilated place to dry.

3. Divide the plants

Break the orchid from the middle, you can also cut it with scissors, divide it into two bushes, each bush can not be less than 3-5 seedlings, and then spray carbendazim on the wound for disinfection, you can also use plant ash, put it in a cool place after disinfection, and do not water it within 7 days, and wait for the wound to scab.
