Why is it that other people s orchids are so good, but I can t use the same method?

Orchids like shade, should not be more sun, if there are conditions, spring, autumn, winter sunny days, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. to move it to the sun for 2-3 hours; In summer, it is good for orchids to let it dry for half an hour around 8 a.m. One thing that is particularly noteworthy is that orchids are most afraid of soot, which will die when smoked.

Special care should be taken when moving orchids indoors for the winter in winter. It is best to choose a new tile pot that has been soaked in water for several hours, such as a purple clay pot or a plastic pot, pay attention to drainage. The size of the pot should be such that the roots of the flowers can stretch in the pot.

The experience of raising orchids should be used Why do other people's orchids raise so well, I use their methods to raise, but always do not raise well, of course, the key to this is that the different types of orchids and different environments blame the reasons for planting materials, fertilizers, watering, in fact, in the final analysis, I still don't understand the orchid, if you want a good root system, the light can not be less than the same plant species, the shade root system is less, and the yang root system is vigorous, this is almost an ironclad law, don't you believe it? Just find a lawn to observe and see that even if you use the soil in the field to cultivate orchids, people who understand the principle can also raise water and fertilizer very well, and it depends on the needs of orchids, and how to look at the needs of orchids, which is mainly to see the growth of orchids with your eyes.

Orchids need an environment with high air humidity, while the planting material should not be too wet. It is difficult for people living in buildings in the northern region to provide such environmental conditions, so it is difficult to maintain. When I used to live in a courtyard, I felt that it was very easy to raise orchids, find an ordinary tile pot, dig some garden soil and plant it, put it under the root of the house (enter the house in winter), usually rarely care about it, and after a few years, it blooms every year.

But since living in the building, it is very rare to raise orchids, and the special stilted orchid pots, special fairy soil, orchid stones and other planting materials have failed repeatedly.

Habits of orchids: love shade and are afraid of direct sunlight; Prefer moisture, avoid dryness; Fertile, rich in humus; A well-ventilated environment.

The climate and environment are different, for example, the pure granulated orchids commonly used in the south will not work in my house, my home is relatively dry in the north, and the granular orchids are often watered in my home, but they are easy to mold, and they will dry up if they are not watered, so I still have to use humus.

This should be adapted to local conditions, and sometimes water and soil are also very critical.

Maybe the method is wrong, look up the Internet or read more books about raising orchids.

Orchids should not be moved casually, carry them around, and humidity and ventilation are very important

Detail 1: Watering. Orchids prefer moist environments, so be sure to hydrate them well. However, avoid stagnant water, if you water too much, it is easy to rot its root system, so just keep the soil slightly moist.

Detail 2: Ventilation. The growth temperature of orchids is 18 28, and more than 35 is not conducive to the growth of orchids. Therefore, it must be ventilated, so that the orchid can be cooled down through some transpiration, so that the orchid grows more and more vigorous.

Detail 3: Humidity. Low air humidity is not conducive to the growth of orchids, so be sure to enhance its humidity, you can often spray some water around, or put a pot of water next to the orchid, which can not only enhance the air humidity, but also achieve the effect of cooling.

Detail 4: Control of pests and diseases. Daily maintenance of orchids must pay attention to hygiene. You can use edible vinegar and water to stir evenly in a ratio of 1:10 and spray it directly on the leaves, which can not only make the leaves green and shiny, but also control pests.

Orchids can be maintained by drainage, sunlight, and medicines.

When repotting orchids, the old soil will be mixed with some new soil for planting, or it is not suitable to plant directly with the old soil.

Despite the wide variety of orchids, their botanical morphological characteristics are something in common.

Target. Generally speaking, orchids live according to them.

The genus environment can be divided into two categories: epiphiticorchid and terrestialorchid. Aerial orchid is a species that grows and develops on tree trunks or rocks, such as Gardelia orchid, Dendrobium orchid, Phalaenopsis orchid, Vandella orchid, etc. Ground orchid is a plant that grows and develops in soil rich in organic matter, such as primrose, one-leaf orchid, and orchid.

In addition, according to the difference in plant growth and development morphology, it can be divided into two categories, one is the species whose stems are not branched and have been growing upwards and the leaves are called monopodialorchids, such as Bandai orchid and Phalaenopsis. The other type is that the stem stops growing after a certain extent, and the new shoots must re-germinate from the base, which is called sympodialorchid, such as the cultivated species in Gardelia orchid and national orchid. Single-stemmed orchid is not easy to germinate side buds, and the top must be removed before the side buds can be grown, so it is not easy to reproduce.

In fact, orchids are not difficult to raise, but many people can't master the water in the pot.

It is difficult to create a suitable wild environment for orchids at home.

Orchids have been people's favorite flowers since ancient times, and people who often raise orchids will learn from the experience of raising orchids in ancient times and learn the skills of their ancestors in raising orchids from all aspects. Nowadays, due to the influence of various factors, many novices are always unable to raise orchids. Although I have been raising orchids for many years, I have not discovered a secret of raising orchids until now, which is also the main reason why orchids cannot be raised.

Orchid growers know that the most important thing in raising orchids is the material, and they all know that orchids like slightly acidic soil, but they do not correctly understand the importance of soil acidity and alkalinity to orchids. Usually orchids are best grown in slightly acidic media, and too acidic or alkaline media will be detrimental to the growth of orchids. Many flower growers think that there is no problem with the medium they use and meet the conditions for the growth of orchids, but they do not know that the medium of orchids will change during the growth, and this change process is caused by human factors.

Why is it man-made? First, excessive use of unrotted media and fertilizers, and excessive watering makes the material too wet. The unrotted medium or fertilizer coupled with the excessive humidity of the medium will produce toxic substances such as hydrogen sulfide during the fermentation process, which will increase the acidity of the substrate and cause root rot.

Second, the water quality is not good, such as: well water, tap water salinity content is too high, or long-term watering only half of the water, the material is not watered thoroughly, the excess alkaline nutrients in the material are not discharged with the water, and the amount of salt in the pot is too much, so that the material is alkaline, resulting in poor root development.

To sum up, there are three things to remember when raising orchids: materials, watering, and fertilization. Generally, loose and breathable slightly acidic media can be used to raise orchids, but no matter what kind of medium is used for raising orchids, they must be fermented and rotted, such as:

Tree bark, pine needles, or other media and fertilizers that have not been fermented and rotted should not be used. The ancients had a saying that "raising orchids is easy to understand, and watering for ten years" shows how important watering is to raise orchids. Therefore, you must control your hands and don't water at every turn, so as to keep the pot not too wet and not too dry.

The most feared thing in the growth of orchids is too much fertilizer, therefore, the fertilization should be clear, thin and light as the principle, and it should be too concentrated and excessive.
