Orchids are watered in summer

Author: Sanyun

I have read a lot of posts about whether summer is watered in the evening or in the morning, some say in the morning, some in the evening, each has its own opinions, all have a point. To sum up, you can't water the basin when the soil is too hot in summer.

So in my opinion, there was no difference between watering in the morning and watering in the evening. Personal habits, choose to water more at night. In recent days, the temperature in Beijing has reached more than 30 degrees, that is, one day, 34 degrees during the day, until 12:00 in the evening, the temperature is still around 30, thinking that the temperature is gradually dropping, so I watered all the flowers. The next morning, two pots of grass were found to have rotten shoots. The process was very fast, and it rotted overnight.

I realized the following:

1. Although it was 12:00 in the evening, the heat in the basin did not dissipate thoroughly, and the buds were "steamed" as soon as they were watered. The water is dry, which is the same as the indoor and outdoor temperature.

two。 Often heard that the heavy rain and faucet water does not rot, should be the basin of the hot gas through the turbid gas, so it will not rot. This is very important, you have to rush it many times!

3. In summer, rotten buds are basically "steamed" by basin soil, which seems to have nothing to do with bacteria.

4. So it's better to water it in the morning (it's about 5 o'clock in the morning here, or evening if you don't have time! ), the temperature of the basin soil should have come down completely by this time. Or consider watering it with fresh tap water sooner or later. Some teachers said that the temperature difference should not be too big.

5. The rotten buds caused by spraying water on the leaves should also be caused by the high temperature of the basin, and the buds were steamed when they were stained with water. So try to spray water in cool weather, or spray some cold water?

In fact, it is nonsense to be afraid of sprouting into the water. When I water it, I rinse more into the bud and wash away some restless gas, which is hardly rotten. Of course, the grass that is not suitable for your environment should be careful, that is, it should be rotten or rotten if it doesn't touch the water. Spray less water in the high temperature season, try to choose the time of day when the temperature is low (when it is windy at night) and irrigate the plant several times.
