How to water orchid stones, how to water orchids

The weather is different, the planting environment is different, and the time it takes for the planting material in the orchid pot to dry is also different, so the watering cannot be done mechanically according to the time interval, as long as it is dry, it must be watered thoroughly.

A few ways to water orchids:

1. According to the seasonal changes, that is, the specific situation of the growth of orchids, watering as appropriate, in spring, summer and autumn, orchids in the vigorous growth period should be watered frequently, watered thoroughly, and should not be watered half of the water; In the high temperature period of midsummer, you should also water frequently, water more, and water thoroughly, and avoid watering half of the water, so as to eliminate the turbidity in the pot; If the temperature is low from late autumn to early spring and the plant grows slowly, it should be watered less; In the cold winter, the plant basically stops growing, so it should be watered less or no watering, but the potting soil must be kept moist, otherwise it will affect the smooth progress of plant metabolism, delay the emergence time of young shoots, and the young shoots are thin and weak;

2. According to the large and small orchid pots, more and less plants, large pots and many plants should be watered frequently, watered more, and watered thoroughly, and should not be watered half-watered, and if the pots are small and the plants are few, they should be watered frequently, less watered, and watered thoroughly, and should not be watered half-watered;

3. According to the orchid pot planting material, the coarse and hard planting material has good air permeability and water filtration, but the water retention and fertilizer retention effect is very poor. Hard and soft mixed planting material has relatively poor air permeability and water filtration, but the water retention and fertilizer retention effect is relatively good, so the watering and fertilization time should be appropriately extended, and the air permeability and water filtration of soft planting material are relatively poor, but the water retention and fertilizer retention effect is better, so the watering and fertilization time should be appropriately extended.

The method of watering orchids is: do not water according to the number of days, see dry and wet methods need to be flexibleAvoid watering half of the water and soaking pots to water orchids.

1. Don't water according to the number of days

Many flower friends who raise orchids will consult some masters of raising orchids, ask them to water the orchids once a few days, and come back after getting the answer, they will water them once every few days according to what they said, but they still can't raise their own orchids.

In fact, this orchid watering method is not suitable, because the climate and maintenance environment are different, the planting materials used are different, and the material of the pot is different, and the speed of water evaporation after watering is also different.

Therefore, don't ask people to water once a few days when raising orchids, but according to their own situation, find out the watering experience, such as after watering in the spring, observe that the planting material will all dry out in a few days, and in summer and winter, it will be dry for a few days after watering, so that after the experience, you can know when you need to water your own orchids.

2. The dry and wet method needs to be flexibly mastered

There are also flower friends who raise orchids have always followed the principle of watering when dry and wet, that is, waiting until the potting soil is completely dry before watering thoroughly, although this method is also good, but the operation should also be flexible and mastered.

Some potting soil has been completely dry, and it has not been watered in time, which will lead to a large number of empty roots in the plant, and in this dry state, the orchid plant is not easy to germinate new shoots. Therefore, when you see the dry and wet watering method, you should also observe the dry and wet state of the potting soil at any time, and try not to let it be overly dry. If you can't judge the dryness and wetness of the potting soil, you can check the weight of the pot when it is completely dry, and then check its weight when it is completely dry, and then you can judge the humidity in the potting soil when you pick up the pot.

3. Do not pour half of the water

Orchids are the most afraid of watering half water, the so-called half water is the pot soil is completely dry, only a little water is watered on the surface, the inside of the pot soil is still dry, which leads to the growth of the root system to the upper part of the water, and the bottom of the serious lack of water will appear shriveled and empty roots.

When watering orchids, you can slowly water the potting soil along the edge of the pot, and when the water on the surface of the pot penetrates into the soil, you can water it again until the excess water flows out of the drainage hole, and the potting soil inside is almost completely watered.

4. Water the orchids by soaking pots

Potting watering is mostly used for tree bonsai where the potting soil is higher than the surface of the pot, and this watering method is to soak the planting material in the pot from the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot through the siphon principle. Orchid planting material is mostly made of pine bark, peanut shell and other materials, watering once is not easy to soak the planting material, with the soaking pot method can be completely soaked in the planting material.

The soaking method of watering is also very simple, that is, directly find a large pot, add half a pot of water to it, and then put the orchid potted plant inside, and wait until half an hour later, almost to make the plant in the pot absorb water and let the plant regain vitality.

How to water orchids:

Practice has proved that orchids are eight points dry, two points wet is the best, and the flowering period and the leaf bud stage should be watered less. During the rainy season, you should move back indoors or build a shelter to protect yourself from the rain. In summer, it should be watered early in the morning or evening, not too much, and the amount of watering in autumn can be increased as appropriate.

During the dry season, spray every evening. When spraying, it should be sprayed upward, so that the fog point is fine and even, so that the leaf surface is moist, the ground is moist, and the air humidity is increased.

Sometimes it is best to spray several times a day, and watering should be watered from the edge of the pot, not poured on the head, not at noon. Although watering in winter can be greatly reduced, but not without watering, pay attention not to let the potting soil dry out, winter is not early spring and watering causes the leaf sheath to be wet, to be moved indoors after drying, so as not to rot. In short, dry is watered, wet is stopped, appropriate dry for the principle.

It is better to use rainwater and spring water, and all kinds of water should be taken and stored in the tank first, so that the pollutants in the water can be precipitated, the water temperature is normal, and the chlorine in the tap water is exhausted, and then poured.

Light management for orchids:

Light is an important factor in the formation of flower buds. Although orchids love coolness, they rarely bloom if they are kept in a hidden place all year round. Orchid artists have long discovered that the leaves of the Yin Orchid of the Mountain are long and the flowers are sparse, and the Yang Orchid of the Mountain is short and has many flowers.

Therefore, when cultivating orchids, we must pay attention to the problem of light. In spring and summer, orchids are best shaded by reed curtains or placed in windows with ventilation facing east and south.

The orchid under the curtain should be repotted once every half month, so that the orchid receives light on all sides, which is conducive to the balanced growth of the plant. When autumn is cool, the potted orchid should be removed from the shade and let it bask in the sun for half a day in the morning, but be careful not to dry out in autumn.

In cold weather, it is placed indoors under the south window for wintering, but it does not have to be too warm, and it is best to cover it with a plastic film cover to maintain the proper humidity of the leaves. As for the prevention and control of pests and diseases, such as brown rust and white silk disease, use stone sulfur mixture**. If there is an ant nest, you can soak the pot in water to drive it away.

Orchids can be watered every 2-3 days in spring, once a day in summer, every 3-5 days in autumn, and once every 7-10 days in winter.

Orchids are watered once a few days, and there is no fixed interval, generally according to the water shortage of orchid plants and the dry and wet conditions of the soil. The climate varies depending on the season, and the watering interval is different.

In spring, the growth rate is fast, more water is needed, and it can be watered every 2-3 days, the temperature is high in summer, the water evaporates quickly, it can be watered once a day, it can be watered every 3-5 days in autumn, and the watering should be reduced in late autumn in the later period, and it can be watered once every 7-10 days in winter.

Orchid watering precautions

1. When watering orchids, you must not water half of the water for a long time, otherwise the upper surface of the soil is relatively moist, and the lower end is still in a dry state, which still cannot play the role of replenishing water. When watering, be sure to water thoroughly at one time so that a little water can flow out from the bottom of the pot.

2. The specific watering frequency also needs to consider the drainage of the planting material, if the drainage is good, you can increase the watering frequency to avoid water shortage.

3. In rainy weather, the humidity is high, so you can suspend watering first. If the orchid is drenched by heavy rain, drain it in time to avoid water accumulation in the roots.

4. Pay attention to the watering time, in spring, summer and autumn, you can choose to water in the morning and evening, and in winter and early spring, you can choose to water at noon.

How to water orchids:

The watering methods of orchids include irrigation, sprinkling, soaking, and spraying.

Irrigation: is to use water around the pot to pour water, let it penetrate slowly, do not pour water into the center of the orchid, if the evaporation is not timely, it will cause the rotten heart of the orchid and damage the plant.

Sprinkling: It is to use a watering can to spray the entire orchid environment wet, so that the water seeps from the soil surface to the root of the orchid, this method is that the water is easy to splash into the heart of the leaf, you should use it carefully, otherwise it will rot the heart.

Dipping: It is to soak the orchid pot into a pot filled with water, water thoroughly, keep the water in the tray for about half an hour, so that the planting material can fully absorb water and absorb evenly, but there are also shortcomings, the water basin is soaked back and forth, it is not easy to operate, and it is easy to spread germs, and it is easy to rot the roots with poor ventilation, irrigation, sprinkling, soaking, these three methods can be mixed alternately, and the effect is also good.

Spray: It is to spray a fine mist with a sprayer and spray it directly to the orchid plant and its vicinity to increase the air humidity and keep the orchid in a suitable environment.

Cymbidium grandiflora prefers a cool summer and warm winter high humidity environment, and the suitable growth temperature is 10 25. In the hot summer, water 1-2 times a day and spray the leaves many times to prevent the appearance of yellow leaves. Appropriately reducing the number of watering times in autumn is conducive to flower bud differentiation.

In winter, it is advisable to water the potting soil when it is wet and dry to prevent root rot. However, the flower buds are in the growth stage and need to be supplied with a certain amount of water. With moss as the substrate, water evaporation is slow and water retention is high, which can reduce the number of waterings.

The water-retaining properties of slag and gravel as substrate are not ideal, and the number of watering can be increased appropriately. Cymbidium grandiflora likes high air humidity, and needs to keep the air humidity moist, otherwise it will cause the flower buds to turn yellow and not bloom, and the whole plant will dry up and die in severe cases. Plants prefer slightly acidic water.

Rainwater is the best water for watering flowers, and some can be properly stored for backup during the rainy season. If you use household tap water to water the flowers, you can put it in the prepared utensils for 2-3 days before using it, so that the water after the chlorine in the water volatilizes will not envy the sails and damage the plants, and the temperature is closer to the ambient temperature. Cymbidium grandiflora is afraid of dryness and humidity, so the cultivation medium must have good air permeability.

Flower lovers live in different areas, and the growth environment such as temperature and air humidity varies greatly, so flower lovers can water flexibly.

When watering orchids, water the soil thoroughly at one time, taking care to avoid the center of the leaf. Orchids can be watered with watering cans and other tools, and watering cans can can often be used to water the plants, which can increase the humidity of the air.

Orchid smiling branches can be drenched in light rain, but avoid heavy rain, showers or continuous rain. In the rainy season, it is especially necessary to do a good job of rain prevention. From late June to mid-September, showers are common.

If the rain is short and the rainfall is small, you should water more in the evening to let the heat in the pot be discharged, otherwise the orchid will be damaged, and even the roots will rot and die.

Judging whether the orchid is short of water mainly depends on the dryness and wetness of the potting soil, if the pot becomes very light, the soil on the surface of the potting soil is relatively dry, and there is a whitish phenomenon, then it needs to be watered.

Orchid cultivation methods and precautions

1. Choose acidic soil, if you use special culture soil, it is best to use orchid mud, or mix rotten leaves and garden soil and stir evenly.

2. Orchid fertilization, one is to apply basal fertilizer in the culture soil, and the other is to top dressing during the growth period. Top dressing mostly uses liquid fertilizer or foliar fertilizer, and the concentration should be lighter than that of other flowers.

3. When the temperature drops to 5, move the orchid indoors, and open the windows frequently at the beginning of the room to maintain air circulation.

5. In the cultivation of orchids, the withered yellow old leaves and insect leaves should be constantly cut off to facilitate ventilation. After the flower buds are unearthed, each plant should leave a strong flower bud, and the rest should be cut off to avoid consuming too many nutrients and affecting the flowering of the next year.
