How to raise ball orchid culture methods and matters needing attention

Soil: loose, fertile, breathable, slightly acidic humus soil with good drainage should be selected. Watering: cultivation in a humid state, but not water, ensure sufficient moisture in midsummer, can increase air humidity to the foliage spray, autumn and winter season watering once every two weeks. Light: like scattered light, semi-overcast environment, avoid direct sunlight. Temperature: suitable growth temperature of 15-28℃, winter into dormancy. Management: Do not move the flowering bulb, easy to cause bud drop, flower drop.

When it comes to marshes, many people may not know much about them. In fact, Hoya is a very beautiful flower plant, its flowers like spherical, unique and beautiful shape, and accompanied by waves of charming fragrance, people relaxed and happy. So how do you cultivate such beautiful and charming swamps? Let's get to know it together with Xiaobian!

How do you raise marshes?

1. The soil for breeding orchids should have more humus content and good air permeability. This soil is conducive to the growth of orchids, good air permeability and not easy to rot roots.

2, to the ball orchid watering to the right amount, too much will cause the phenomenon of rotten roots, as long as keep the pot soil moist, watering once a week can be. The foliage can often be sprayed to increase humidity.

3. When breeding the orchids, place them in a sunny place and give them sufficient light, but the sun is too strong in summer, so pay attention to shade. You can move them outdoors before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m.

4, the fertilization of the green orchid should be based on compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer, the period of vigorous growth should be fertilized once every half month, and the fertilization should be stopped in winter, because the green orchid is in a semi-dormant state at this time.

5, the ball orchid grows to a certain height to pick the heart, so that it grows side branches, but also to the ball orchid shelf, let it climb on the shelf, forming a better shape.

6, common diseases of the ball orchid is leaf spot disease, bad spot disease, etc., once found to use carbendazim and other pesticides according to a certain proportion of configuration, outdoor spraying, specific configuration ratio, see the instructions can be.

Hoya breeding methods and precautions

1. Soil requirements

Hoya like fertile, breathable, well-drained soil, do not like very heavy clay soil, potted Hoya best choose loose fertile slightly acidic humus soil, can be mixed with appropriate amount of vermiculite in the soil, can also be applied to the point of calcium superphosphate as a base fertilizer, can also be used as 7 parts of humus soil mixed with 3 parts of coarse sand as a culture medium.

2, watering method

Hoya leaves for the fleshy, their own water content is more, when cultivating to ensure that in a state of late moisture, do not accumulate water. Too much watering of the bulb will cause root rot, but too dry will affect growth, so watering should see dry see wet. In midsummer, to ensure adequate moisture, appropriate increase watering, and often spray water to the foliage, increase air humidity. In autumn and winter, the temperature decreases, and the growth of Hoya gradually slows down. At this time, watering should be reduced, and once every two weeks is appropriate.

3. Light intensity

Swampy orchids prefer diffuse light and a semi-shady environment. When maintaining the hoya in the family, put it on the south-facing windowsill in spring and autumn to ensure that the leaves are green; in summer, move the hoya indoors to avoid direct sunlight, otherwise it is easy to cause the leaves to turn yellow. But can not over-shade, long-term lack of light, the leaves of the green orchid will become dull, flowers less and not gorgeous.

4. Temperature requirements

The most suitable temperature for growth is 15~28℃, and it can also grow well in high temperature environment. In winter, the hoya will enter a dormant state. At this time, the hoya should be placed in a cool, slightly dry environment to allow it to completely dormancy. Dormancy temperature control early 10℃ or so, below 5℃ easy frostbite, and then cause defoliation, and finally even the whole plant death.

5. Precautions

For flowering bulbs, do not often move the flowerpot, otherwise it is easy to cause bud drop, flower drop. After the flower falls, protect the flower stem and promote the flowering of the next year.

Hoya usually flowering is relatively long, if the use of cuttage method of planting, then under normal circumstances will be planted in the third year after flowering. It is possible to flower in the second year of planting if management and conservation methods are appropriate. There are even more rare, is in the year after the cuttage, the swamp can bloom flowers, this phenomenon is very rare. The most likely reason is that at the time of cuttage, the branches may have been ready for flowering, but there were no signs at that time.

Why do you need to cut the grass?

Like all plants, swamps need to be pruned regularly after a period of maintenance to adapt to the environment and to flower. Hoya germination is very strong, is resistant to pruning a plant. Moderate pruning can make the plant type neat and beautiful, the branches uniform, enhance the light transmission of the plant, and also reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.

The above is a summary of the cultivation and maintenance skills of the orchids summarized by Xiaobian for everyone, hoping to help everyone. Although the swamp is beautiful, it also needs to be properly maintained and managed! If you cultivate a pot of orchids at home, it will definitely shine as a decorative plant!
