The correct way to water orchids: Generally, it is better to water Clivia in the early morning or evening, which is conducive to the full absorption of water by plants. Water in summer: it is hot in summer, and water is easy to evaporate, once every 2-3 days. Water in winter: the temperature in winter is low, and Clivia grows slowly, and water it once every half a month or so.

The correct method of watering gentleman orchids

1, Chunqiu

In the growth season of Clivia in spring and autumn, it is enough to water it until it is dry and wet, and it is advisable not to accumulate water in the flowerpot, so there are fewer cases of root rot in Clivia in these two seasons.

2. Summer

The temperature in summer is relatively high, and the soil temperature in Clivia basin is also high, so the water temperature of watering Clivia can't be too different from the soil temperature, otherwise it will easily cause damage to the roots, so it is best to let the water dry when watering, so that the soil temperature can be close to the water temperature without causing harm.

3. Winter

When watering Clivia in winter, it is best to use slightly warm water at sunny noon. Of course, the water temperature should not be too high, and it is easy to burn the root system of Clivia. In winter, it is necessary to reduce the watering of Clivia. If the indoor temperature is relatively high, Clivia can grow in winter, so it is necessary to ensure sufficient water.

What kind of water is good for watering Clivia?

1, rain and snow

If possible, it is best to water the flowers with rainwater and snow water. Long-term use of these waters to water Clivia has a good promotion effect, which can improve the ornamental value and make Clivia grow vigorously and bloom more.

2. Magnetized water

Watering Clivia with magnetized water can promote the metabolism of plants, make Clivia grow vigorously, and have a certain disease-resistant effect. Magnetized water can be obtained by soaking a magnet in water for one night and then directly watering the flowers.

3. Tap water

Tap water contains certain disinfectant substances such as chlorine, so it needs to be put for a few days before watering flowers, so that the chlorine in it can be fully volatilized, and the water temperature can be similar to the soil temperature, which is also good for Clivia.

Orchid planting methods and skills

1, Li Miao The orchids we buy every day are basically bare roots when they reach our hands. Most people generally choose to plant in pots directly, which is actually wrong! We should first check whether the roots of orchids are intact and whether the leaves are dehydrated.

If you find that orchids are dehydrated, you should soak the roots and pseudobulb balls with acetylsalicylic acid solution. Then we cut off the bud with scissors, leaving only one arrow and two flowers, and then wrap the leaves with a wet towel to expose the roots. Then put it on the balcony to dry. It only takes three or four hours to dry. Remember to turn it over two or three times during the drying process.

2. Choose a basin. We can choose a plastic basin. Because it is cheap, the material is light and easy to move, and its permeability and drainage are very good. It won't burn roots in summer, and it's also very cold-resistant in winter. Before planting, several holes should be cut on the left and right sides of the plastic basin wall to increase the air permeability of the basin soil.

3, plant ingredients Orchids must be breathable, loose, moisturizing, draining and fertile. We can use the rotten pine bark on the mountain, bring it back, and put it in the sun to kill insects at high temperature. Let the bark fully absorb water, so as to achieve the effect of moisturizing, and the structure is also breathable and draining. This method is not only suitable for orchids, but also very simple and easy to learn.

When the planting materials and pots of flower seedlings are ready, the next step is to start planting. Take out the prepared pot first, then pour the planting material at 1/3, then put our flower seedlings into the pot, hold the flower seedlings with one hand, and pour the planting material into it with the other hand. When putting in the flower seedlings, be sure to avoid the roots touching the wall of the flowerpot.

After planting the flower seedlings, gently shake the flowerpot a few times to make the planting materials and roots blend better. Then we will continue to add the plant material. At this time, we only need to add it to the roots of pseudobulb, and then gently lift the flower seedlings up by about one centimeter, in order to make the pseudobulb level with the basin edge. Finally, gently shake the flowerpot and compact it.

Because the moisture of the plant material is relatively large, we don't need to water it during this period of time, just keep the orchids in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. Then water it once after five days, and then water it according to the principle of seeing dry and seeing wet. In a well-ventilated environment, we can spray water on the back of leaves to increase the humidity around plants. When spraying water, be careful not to spray it on the leaf core, which will lead to leaf core rot.

Planting in this way, your orchids will grow more and more vigorously, and they will shoot arrows quickly and bloom more! These steps mentioned by Xiaohua are very important, and you can't miss one step! Paying attention to florets will help you learn more about conservation tips.
