1. Orchid planting methods and precautions
Water is the source of life for orchids and an important component of the protoplasm of orchid plants. The water content of the protoplasm of orchid plants is relatively high, with most being above 80%. When the water content is low, it will have a certain impact on life activities. If the protoplasm loses too much water, it will cause damage to the protoplasm and cause the plant to die. Secondly, water is a raw material in the metabolic process of orchid plants. The assimilation and dissimilation in the orchid body all require the participation of water, such as photosynthesis, respiration, hydrolysis reactions, etc. There is also the medium for the metabolic process of orchid plants. Various nutrients can only be absorbed by orchids when they are integrated into water.
2. Orchid planting technology
Site selection: The place where the orchids are placed is also very important, as it will directly affect the growth and development of the orchids. Most orchids are placed on the ground in the three seasons of spring, summer, and autumn, and placed indoors in the cold winter.
Lighting conditions: There are four principles for growing orchids, namely "no spring, no sun in summer, no dryness in autumn, and no wetness in winter." The temperature in spring is not very stable, and you are easily affected by cold weather if you leave the house too early. It is safer to leave the house in early April. In summer, orchids should be placed in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, and supported with diffused light. In autumn, when the orchids sprout and are pulled out, the pot soil should be kept at a corresponding humidity to avoid being too dry.
Fertilization method: During the growing season of orchids, pour decomposed bean cake water and water chestnut sauce residue water once every half month. If you apply an appropriate amount of Trim mineral potassium dihydrogen phosphate, the effect will be better. Do not fertilize in summer. When the temperature is too high, in addition to daily watering, spray multiple times, preferably with slightly acidic water. Frequently spraying the leaves with clean water and Trim Amino Acid Foliar Fertilizer can not only improve the growth environment, but also keep the leaves clean and reduce the chance of infection.
Watering method: The roots of orchids are fleshy. In winter, not much water is needed for dormancy. The soil in the pot is wet. Do not use too much water to avoid root and leaf diseases. Hua Yan said: "Dry orchid and wet chrysanthemum", there is a certain truth in this. Generally speaking, orchids dry within 8 minutes, the second is best. When the orchid leaf buds elongate about 1.5 cm from June to July, you can apply 1-2 times of thin decomposed liquid fertilizer. Fertilizer is not suitable here.
However, it is not suitable for fertilizing in hot seasons. Use 1-2 times thinner liquid fertilizer between August and September. Orchids that dominate the heart can be treated with ash 1-2 times with good results. It is best to fertilize in the evening and water again the next morning. Spring orchid flowers need to be cut off after about half a month. When the last inflorescence is open for a week, the flowers of summer orchid cut off the inflorescence.
3. Things to note when watering orchids
First of all, pay attention to the water temperature. Do not water with cold water in winter. The water temperature should be close to room temperature, preferably 8-10°C.
Do not water with hot water in summer. For example, water storage should be used to store water. It needs to be waterproof and overheated as well as blue plants, the water temperature should not exceed 25-28°C, and should not be washed with cold water to avoid damage to the orchids.
Secondly, pay attention to humidity. The air humidity is too high. When it reaches 90-100 degrees Celsius, it cannot be watered or sprayed. The humidity during the day is 70-90. Humidity will weaken the effect of root absorption, affect the number of roots, and lose original strength.
Again, pay attention to protecting the new shoots. During the germination period, it is recommended to water the roots and sprinkle and spray water as little as possible, otherwise the water-filled leaf core will cause waterlogging and rot and cause losses.
Pay attention to pouring "resurrection water". After fertilizing in the evening, orchid plants can effectively absorb most nutrients through overnight absorption. At this time, water is most needed, just like drinking tea after a meal, so the next morning, you need to pour "resurrection water".
