What is the reason for growing white alkali on the latest Dendrobium basin?

Many flowerpots like to raise some flowers and plants at home, which can not only be appreciated, but also decorate the environment, purify the air, and make people feel refreshed. And some flowers and plants can even be used as medicine to treat diseases or be used in dietotherapy. Dendrobium is such a flower plant that integrates ornamental, medicinal and health-preserving uses.

However, potted flowers and plants require us to pay a certain amount of time and energy to protect it in order to give full play to its application value. In particular, Dendrobium, a multi-functional, multi-purpose flower plant, usually needs to spend a lot of time and energy to care. And the treatment of the details is also very important, which affects the growth and ornamental of the plant to a great extent.

In the process of raising Dendrobium, many basin friends have encountered the phenomenon of albinine on the basin, and this is often a phenomenon that is easy to be ignored. In fact, for potted plants, we must pay attention to this situation, otherwise it will affect the normal growth of the plant.

When white alkali is produced on the basin surface of Dendrobium, it is often due to the improper water quality used when watering, and it is often caused by the use of hard water to water flowers. Or it is due to the improper selection of fertilizers, mostly caused by the application of chemical fertilizers and bad compound fertilizers. The occurrence of alkalization in the basin is disadvantageous to the growth of Dendrobium because the plant itself is slightly acidic.

At this point, we need to focus on the color of the substrate and the current color, and then compare it. If the situation is not very serious, we should use soft water when watering later, and it is best to drop a few drops of acidic substances into the water to adjust the pH of the matrix to make it more suitable for the growth of Dendrobium. Generally speaking, after the continuous use of slightly acidic soft water for Dendrobium, the situation can be improved, and then only need to be watered with clean water.

If it is caused by the improper selection of fertilizer when we apply fertilizer, it is recommended not to apply inferior compound fertilizer, let alone chemical fertilizer. It is generally recommended to apply some mature organic fertilizer, such as soybean water, sheep dung, etc., if you really want to use the purchased fertilizer, it is recommended to use slow-release fertilizer. And the amount of slow-release fertilizer does not need too much, the frequency does not need to be high, in the growing season 1-2 months into the basin can be sprinkled more than 10.
