The old man without leaves in the orchid pot, do you need to remove it?

How do orchid roots re-germinate? First of all, this question of yours can be judged as: First, how can the false bulb of an orchid without leaves re-sprout new leaf buds? Second, how the old pseudobulb of an orchid with a root system re-germinates new roots.

Let's do it on how the roots of orchids re-germinate new shoots. We know that when dividing orchid plants, we often divide some old pseudobulbs with no leaves or no root system, and these old pseudobulbs often have no small shoots on the edges, only one or two old bulbs with a few leaves and few roots. As long as these old bulbs are not shriveled, they are still green, and they contain relatively full water, and after careful cultivation, the tiny adventitious side buds in the bracts of the false bulb will still sprout new shoots and grow new roots.

First, first of all, we need to clean these old false bulbs without roots and leaves, and then put them in the morning sun (preferably in the morning light, avoid afternoon light) to dry for two or three hours, during which we often turn several times to change the light surface. Then soak it in a rooting agent solution or acetylsalicylic acid tablet solution for one hour. The pseudobulbs were then planted with a moist, loose and breathable medium-grained planting material.

To maintain the moisture of the soil, place the culture pots in a well-ventilated and cool place for maintenance. In this way, after about two months of careful cultivation, most of them will sprout small side buds. When these small side buds grow to 5-6 cm, new roots can sprout at the base of the small pseudobulb.

Another method is to wrap these soaked false bulbs in moist moss and pack them in a perforated sealed bag. After two months of cultivation, small sprouts will also grow. Second, after the old pseudobulb with the root system is replanted, as long as the original root system is not broken and injured, after a period of cultivation (more than a month), the original root system will also grow new crystal heads from the root tip.

However, it is generally unlikely that the root system will be regrown from the basal root growth point of the pseudobulb. This is not until the small side buds next to the old pseudobulb grow into small sprouts, and when the small sprouts grow to a certain height (about 5cm) under the condition of suitable humidity, the base of the pseudobulb of the small sprouts will slowly grow new small root crystal heads. Rootless old pseudobulbs regrow side buds that are basically cultivated in this way.

It can be slowly pondered in the practice of cultivating orchids. The cultivation of these old pseudobulbs is mainly used for the cultivation and germination of old bulbs from some more precious varieties.

The old man without leaves in the orchid pot does not need to be removed, because it will slowly grow, and after reaching a certain level, it will fall off naturally, and if it is removed directly, it may cause damage and affect its normal growth.

Whether the old reed head without leaves has the ability to germinate depends on whether its reed head is fresh and powerful. If it is an old reed that does not germinate, it will inevitably increase the burden of nutrients for new strong seedlings, so it should be removed as soon as possible to avoid the growth of new strong seedlings.

Try to remove it as much as possible, as the leafless old man will suck most of the nutrients from the soil. After removal, place the pot in a ventilated area. Timely oxygen and hydration.

The question of the time of the division, the weather conditions after the division. There is also the problem of new and old seedlings, which will affect the flowering of orchids that year. In terms of maintenance, there is also a problem of potting period, which depends on the strength of the plant, as well as the environment, soil, temperature and light, etc., and the potting period is more difficult to explain.

To put it simply, the pot can bloom quickly, and the pot will not bloom slowly.

What happens when orchids don't bloom after being potted.

Analyzing such a problem, then we must first be sure that this divided orchid did not fail to bloom in the previous maintenance.

This includes the application of planting materials, the environment, and the supply of nutrients and water to be changed in a more suitable situation. It is very likely that the following points will not bloom after dividing:

Dividing time issues:

In the case of winter-flowering orchids, it takes at least 3 months from the time the buds are conceived to the time they bloom in winter.

Flowering requires a long period of nutrient accumulation, and when nutrients are insufficient, it is difficult to produce flowers. Then this involves a question of dividing time.

In summer, many orchids will enter the dormant period, and will only wake up to normal growth and development when the temperature reaches a suitable time for growth. After the orchid wakes up, it is necessary to start preparing to give birth to flowers.

Then the time of potting should be slightly earlier, as long as the temperature is right, it is necessary to divide the plants.

Because after dividing, orchids need a potting period. If the plant is divided too late, the ability of the root system to absorb nutrients will be suspended, and if the best time to conceive flowers is missed, then it will be possible to open the door and not bloom.

Problems with old and new plants:

When dividing orchids, pay attention to the combination of new and old plants. If the old orchid has already bloomed that year, it is possible to enter a stage of flowering.

Just like a good year for fruit trees, as long as this year enters a good harvest, then next year may not bear fruit, or there will be less fruit. The same will happen to the old plants of orchids.

Then the new seedlings will also have a problem of age, and it takes about 2 to 3 years for the maintenance of healthy orchids to grow from new shoots to flowering, provided that the ears are judged to be during this time, and they have not been divided or repotted.

Because it takes a relatively long pot period to change the pot. Then if we happen to be in the harvest year of the old seedlings, and the new seedlings are not in the situation of insufficient years, then it is very likely that they will not bloom.

Try to get rid of it, because an old man without leaves will suck a lot of nutrients from the soil and will not help the growth of the plant in any way.

In the process of orchid growth, because of the aging of the plant, the old man left by the normal weeding is best removed when dividing or changing the pot, so as not to affect the growth and ornamentality of the whole pot. When there is no plan to divide or repot for the time being, the healthy old man can also be removed without rushing. Depending on the breed and personal wishes, the old man who has been removed should pay attention to the maintenance and the possibility of opening a plum blossom and becoming a new plant again.

But it takes a certain amount of patience and energy to take care of the old man, because it is not so easy to sprout old hair.

No, when we divide the pot of orchids, there are often old men without leaves, the old man is the old orchid pseudobulb, the false bulb is the round spherical tissue at the junction of the orchid leaf and the root system, the false bulb is the place where the orchid stores nutrients and water, which can take root and sprout, which is both a nutrient ball and a reproductive ball.

No, the leaves will grow slowly and it will be smooth.

First, whether to cut the roots.

Whether the orchid needs to be pruned when changing pots depends on the growth of its root system. If the root system of the plant is very healthy, it does not need to be pruned. However, if there are a lot of unhealthy roots, such as empty roots, diseased roots, rotten roots, etc.

They need to be pruned when repotting, just keep the strong roots. If left unpruned, it can affect the normal uptake of water and nutrients by healthy roots.

2. Precautions.

Be careful when pruning the roots to avoid harming the healthy roots. And the scissors used should be clean and sharp to prevent bacteria on the scissors from invading the plant through the root incision. After pruning, it needs to be sterilized, which can then be replanted in pots.

3. Maintenance after changing pots.

After repotting the orchids, immediately water them and water the soil thoroughly. Keep it away from sunlight and place it in a cool, dark place to give it a little time to adjust to the new soil. After it starts to grow normally, normal maintenance and management can begin. Sooner or.
