Culture methods of orchids knowledge of conservation of orchids

When maintaining orchids, we must pay attention to four points: first, to change the basin every 2-3 years; second, to use a tile basin with large bottom holes and deep pots to hold fertile soil rich in humus; third, to apply diluted mature fertilizer, watering to dry, wet to stop as the principle; fourth, in spring, summer and autumn, put in the shade.

What are the matters needing attention in orchid culture?

1. Light and temperature of Orchid Culture

Orchids like shade and are afraid of direct sunlight. But we can't keep it in dark places for a long time. This can lead to poor plant growth or even little or no flowering. Therefore, proper lighting is very needed. If we breed orchids indoors and put them on the windowsill or on the table, we need to rotate the flowerpot once in a while to avoid growing sideways because of the phototaxis of the plants.

The suitable temperature for orchid growth is similar in the growing season (from late spring to early autumn), 20-30 ℃ (different species and different stages of development), 16-22 ℃ at night, and the best temperature difference between day and night is about 6 ℃.

two。 Pruning skills of orchids

Proper pruning of orchids can make them more ornamental. When we prune, we usually trim off some withered branches and leaves to make more room for new branches to grow, and at the same time enhance the ventilation of the plant. Pruning of branches and leaves of diseases and insect pests also needs timely treatment in order to prevent other branches and leaves from infection.

3. Common diseases of orchids

The soil of orchids often produces some ant nests, which can be removed by soaking flowerpots in buckets of water. The white silk disease and brown rust of orchids can be treated with 0.5% stone-sulfur mixture. In addition, whitefly, red spider, scale insects and other common diseases that harm orchids are common diseases that do harm to orchids. The majority of flower friends can buy special chemicals in the market, and they can use vinegar, brown sugar, washing powder and other common daily necessities and food to prepare their own agents.

Orchids are relatively delicate and difficult to raise in flower species, so they must be taken care of when they are raised so that they can flourish in flowers and leaves.
