The covering method of the Old Reed head of Orchid (picture and text)

Covering the old Reed head of orchids is a shortcut for ordinary orchid friends to "save money" to raise fine flowers, which is worth trying and studying. The orchid old Reed head demonstrated in this paper is an old orchid bulb with roots and no leaves. Although the old Reed head in different situations has different treatment methods, but it is roughly the same, this article will introduce to you the process of covering the old Reed head.

First, old Reed head, all kinds of old Reed head, mainly fresh and full, disease-free.

Second, the plant material used to cover the old Reed head, I use water moss, all kinds of moss can, clean, free of diseases and insect pests. If you can't find moss, clean coarse material is fine.

Third, sealed plastic bags, all kinds of plastic bags, preferably colorless. I use the self-sealed bag that sells tea to me, which can be reused many times. If you can't find it, the convenient bag for household use will be the same. Just tie the mouth!

Fourth, wrap the old Reed head, wet the moss (slightly moist, not too much moisture), and wrap the old Reed head.

Fifth, bagging, after bagging, seal the mouth of the bag. The next thing is to put it in a warm and sunny place and let it sprout by itself. In the process, every few days, open the mouth of the bag for a change of air, once sprouted, burn a few small holes with cigarette butts, let it breathe, and shoot out excess moisture at the same time to avoid rotten buds!

6. results: more than half a month later, some Reed heads began to sprout.

VII. Other circumstances

If the old Reed head is still connected with other bluegrass. So, just twist the old Lu's head, not separate from other orchid grass, after twisting, cover the orchid leaves with newspapers and other objects, and dry them with roots and false bulbs in the sun to stimulate them. Of course, we don't do this in summer. Then use the usual steps to plant orchid grass, usually with other orchid grass general management, generally speaking, like this old Reed head can still emerge, and basically can be raised strong, raised.

However, to let the old Reed head cover the bud, there is a premise, mainly depends on whether the old man has the ability to sprout. If the old man is already withered and blackened, even if you have a great skill to cover the old man, it is very difficult to cover it up. Just throw it away! He he

In the process of covering the old man, do not be impatient, do not move away the plant material, because it is easy to hurt the new blue sprouts. Don't get too wet, because if it's too wet, it's easy to make the old man rot. Do not apply fertilizer, it is easy to make old Lu and new buds rot away.

VIII. Upper basin and later stage management

After the old man sprouts, under normal circumstances, when the new bud unfolds and the new root comes out, it is transplanted to other orchid pots. If there is no transplant, the old man himself does not have much nutrients, which will affect the continued growth of new buds. However, if the new buds are transplanted prematurely, because the new buds are too weak, they will cause damage to the new buds and make them stiff and fall out.

Transplant, use coarse plant material cushion orchid basin 1 stroke 2, and then use fine particles of mud and small particles of ceramsite mixed. Plant the new seedlings and keep them clean until they become strong and sprout again. Only in this way can we cover the old man out.
