A simple way to water orchids

The basin noodles are watered when they are white in spring, summer and autumn, and they are delayed for two or three days in winter. They are watered at night in summer and at noon in winter. In other seasons, the watering time is relatively free, watering directly with sprinklers, with an average of about five seconds per basin each time. The interval is more than ten minutes.

After watering through, take off the basin, feel the lower weight, and then insert a chopstick into the basin every day and pull it out to see if there is moisture on the Kuaizi. After a few days, when there is no moisture on the chopsticks, it represents that the basin soil is dry. At this time, take off the basin, feel the next weight, and repeat many times, you will know whether the basin soil is dry or not. Gradually you will have a sense of regularity, and you no longer have to carry the basin. You are familiar with what kind of weather and how many days the basin will dry and then water it. Don't be afraid to die. Langen will not die if he has a spongy structure that contains a lot of water for three or five days. In addition, novice watering is afraid of more or less water, so it is often wrong to water a small amount of water, that is, half of the water often occurs, that is, the water is not thoroughly watered into the wet basin, but it is dry in the wet basin. And the growth point of Langen is in the root head, that is, the so-called crystal head, properly watered will be very beautiful, improper watering, for example, half a section of water will produce crystal head dry. The dryness of the crystal head means that the growth point of the root has stopped. So watering is either watering thoroughly without watering, do not be afraid of too much water, as long as the root system is good, the plant material is permeable, the excess water will not stay in the basin, the rotten root is often not the problem of watering, but the problem of planting material, the plant material is impermeable, the water is silted up in the plant material, suffocate the root, remember one thing: the root can breathe, the root is like the human tongue, to breathe and eat, the orchid and human physiology have something in common. But it has its head in the dirt.

If it is a soft plant, the simplest way to judge is to see that the basin noodles are dry and can be watered!

Watering should pay attention to the humidity in the basin, dry method and wet method. The basin is dry but not dry, moist but not wet, which is the standard. Dry and dry is the empty root, wet and excessive is the big black root. Watering is a dry method when it is dry, which will stimulate orchids to sprout, root and bud. Moist but not wet watering is the wet method, which will make the leaf buds, roots and buds that have already grown have enough water to grow rapidly. This is also dry and wet. After sufficient flood irrigation, rest for a period of time, and wait for no gravity water to flow out of the basin floor, that is to say, the water retention rate is 100% (absorbing enough water). When the plant moisture loss is 10%, the plant material will enter a moist but not wet state. when the moisture loss exceeds 40%, it will enter the dry state, this is the best time to water, orchids should be watered in summer when the night is cool and ventilated!
