Fixed-rooted magnolia

When is the right time to water the root water? Depending on the situation, just changing the pot does not divide the seedlings, does not trim the orchid root, and does not hurt the orchid root, it can be poured immediately, and the advantage is that it can reduce the damage to the bluegrass caused by changing the pot and shorten the time of taking the pot; after dividing the seedlings or pruning the orchid root, it should be watered again in a few days, specifically after how many days, this depends on the humidity of the plant material when the pot is put on the pot, and it cannot be generalized. Again, it depends on experience!

Orchids are easy to get stem rot (Reed head rot) after dividing seedlings, which has a lot to do with immediately watering root water. Many orchid books and many orchid friends on the Internet introduce root water immediately after planting in pots. In fact, this is a bad habit. Based on years of practice, I found that slow watering of root water is of great benefit to the prevention of stem rot. The practice is: cool and dry the seedlings and plant them with dry materials, and then pour the root water three days later! This method is also used for changing pots and planting newly bought orchids. As it is easier to get stem rot in hot days, it is best not to split pots in hot days (from March to September in Shenzhen) and not to buy fresh seedlings.

Since the beginning of raising orchids in 1993, Party A has been using Party A. Comparing the two, we feel that Party A has all interests and no harm. The main premise is: "use slightly moist soil, not too dry soil on the basin."

Point of view discussion: any fine operation, any careful protection, Lan will be injured in the process of moving, the degree is only small, immediately watered, let Lan be forced to go to work immediately, certainly did not wait for 2 days later, Lan adapted to the environment and caused the "wound" to shrink due to dryness, so that the root is the best policy. Maybe many people have been using the method of pouring root water immediately for many years, and the orchid is also good, but the two are similar. You got 90 points with the former and 85 points with your classmates with the latter. The difference is very small, but it exists.

The results show that Party A has several less obvious advantages over Party B's grass, but it clearly exists: first, the grass restores the basin quickly and rejuvenates quickly. Second, there are relatively few diseases in the raspberry period. Third, the bud is relatively fast. Fourth, it is not easy to rot the root.

Experimental method: using 2 pots of weak seedlings which are basically the same, and using 2 methods at the same time, it can best reflect the difference between the two.

One of the reasons for rotting roots: as we all know, both thick and fat roots will cause rotten roots. once there is a phenomenon of rotten roots, we always look for reasons from fertilizer and water in an attempt to prevent rotting roots by controlling water and fertilizer, but sometimes when water control and fertilizer are not applied, the roots will still rot. What on earth is the reason? This is often overlooked one of the very important root causes: pruning the orchid root on the pot and pouring the root water too early! After the rotten root is trimmed, the wound generally takes a period of time to heal, and the humidity of the plant material is the most important factor that determines the healing time of the wound. The smaller the humidity of the plant material is, the faster the wound heals (the "moist" plant material usually heals in about 3 days). The greater the humidity, the longer the wound healing time, or even unable to heal. After pruning the orchid root on the basin, immediately pour the fixed root water, even if the fungicide is smeared before the basin, the wound is difficult to heal. Once infected with bacteria, it is the beginning of the rotten root, and it gets out of hand, and the trimmed langen will rot as a whole, but the new root is intact. Therefore, when it is found that the new root is intact and the old root and the pruned orchid root are rotten, this is the disaster caused by the fixed root water.
