How to plant orchids down the mountain

Planting orchids should choose a medium basin and bury them deeply with tile grains and a small amount of humus soil. Orchids that have just come into the pot should not be watered and placed in a cool, ventilated and warm place for three to five days before watering. In general, during the peak growth period in summer and autumn, the plant material in the basin is kept 70% wet, and the winter plant material is kept 30% wet. No fertilizer is needed in the first year. In addition, special attention should be paid to the following points during planting and maintenance:

1. Place

The downhill orchid originally grew in an alpine forest with ventilation, high air humidity and shade, so the cultivation site of the downhill orchid should choose a ventilated zone, the orchid pot should be placed southeast, and the shade should be controlled above 80%.

two。 Selection of basin

The selection of orchid basin should be able to meet the ventilation and water permeability of orchid plant materials. The choice of orchid pot size is also fastidious, neither too big nor too small, neither too shallow nor too deep, too small and too shallow is not easy to take root, too big and too deep is not conducive to water penetration.

3. Operation

Prune the rotten roots, broken leaves and scorched tips of the orchid plant. Plant materials as far as possible to choose the mountain forest soil around the mountain orchid plant (some of the soil has insect eggs, we should pay attention to disinfection. ) first install some gold plants or ordinary pebbles to facilitate water penetration. Then install 1x4 fertile soil, straighten the orchid seedlings, spread the roots naturally, and wait to be filled with soil. Then press the solid with your hand to keep it from loosening. On the second or third day, water should be thoroughly watered. Put it at the root of the wall and under the window and let it drain the excess water naturally.

4. Medication

The medication of downhill orchids depends on the situation of grass, and most downhill orchids are healthy. Even if some fungi are brought in, there are many beneficial bacteria, and there are definitely harmful bacteria, but strong grass is immune. If it is weak grass, it should be more strict in disinfection and sterilization. It is necessary to use some germicidal and disease-preventing drugs after cutting the roots of orchids down the mountain and when they go into the basin.
