Oncidium cultivation method (experience version)

Flower friends say that oncidium is not easy to raise, difficult to reflower, in fact, as long as you understand its habits, maintenance properly, reflower is not difficult. Some flower friends say that oncidium is only suitable for planting in the south, and the dry climate in the north is not easy to plant. In fact, as long as you understand its habits and adapt it to the climate environment in which you are located, it is not difficult to raise oncidium.

Oncidium plant material I generally use pure water moss, or sawdust, granular orchid stone plus a small amount of peat soil mixture. When planting, the bulb should be exposed because it is an aerial root. If the bulb is buried below, it is difficult to grow vigorously, so it is difficult to make seedlings.

In addition to winter (Oncidium winter temperature is not suitable for 13 degrees below), other seasons are placed on the north windowsill, because this can accept a short time of light in the morning and evening, the sun is not very strong (semi-shade environment), winter on the south windowsill or astigmatism bright place, accept sufficient sunlight (northern flower friends winter house has warm air dry, to maintain Oncidium moist environment, often spray water to it). Oncidium is the most taboo in the sun exposure, in the dry season to spray water to the plant every day, the pot plant material to keep moist. Summer plum rain wet season, do not give too much water, otherwise easy to rot roots (found rotten roots timely remedies, to take out the plants to dry, spray carbendazim, and then plant).

Oncidium is prone to black spot disease, my general use of the leaves cut off spots, carbendazim spraying twice a week, ventilation environment should be good.

Because oncidium roots are relatively thin and weak, avoid thick fertilizer, thin fertilizer frequently applied. I occasionally sprinkle some compound fertilizer in the pot, diluted phosphorus water before flowering sprayed on the plants or roots.

In order to prolong the flowering period, let its fragrance in the room for a few days, it is best to put it in a place where the temperature is not very high and the sun is not shining, and at this time to give less water. The longest flowering period of my oncidium is nearly a month.

See a lot of flower friends like Oncidium, often ask me about the maintenance of its methods, this is just personal maintenance of its experience, you can refer to your local climate and environment planting, as long as you understand familiar with it, careful maintenance, will bloom full of flowers to repay you.
