How to raise the latest Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis is a kind of orchid and a kind of flower that people like very much. With the improvement of living standards, people's pursuit of things and their views on life have also changed a lot. Many people like to raise flowers and plants at home, but now the florists who make money and become rich have seized the business opportunities, but it is more difficult for orchids to grow well. so today, let's take a look at how florists cultivate Phalaenopsis.

1. Soil improvement

Phalaenopsis likes light and warmth, is very cold-resistant, and is very harsh on the growth environment. In that case, florists will generally choose plots of neutral humus that are semi-sunny, with fertile soil, loose soil, sufficient water and no pollution. To prepare the land for fine farming, it is necessary to mix about 20% of fine sand and 15% of plant ash into the soil, and the planting land also needs moss or bark, charcoal and so on. Finally, sprinkle sufficient humus fertilizer as base fertilizer, turn it into the soil, improve the soil, and set up a good ditch at the same time, you can plant.

2. Mode of reproduction

At present, the planting technology of Phalaenopsis is also relatively perfect, and there are three main ways of reproduction, namely, planting reproduction, pedicel bud propagation, broken heart bud propagation. At present, the latter two propagation methods are most commonly used, because the speed of seed reproduction is very slow, and the chance of budding is very small. There is a large demand for Phalaenopsis in the market, so the latter two ways of reproduction are more easily accepted by growers.

3. Reasonable water and fertilizer

Phalaenopsis has strict requirements for moisture, so it is necessary to control the proportion when watering. We should maintain a certain amount of humidity, but there is also too much moisture, and the soil should not be too dry. Water thoroughly every time, usually every half a month to 20 days or so. In the whole growing period of Phalaenopsis, we mainly use potash and phosphate fertilizer, but we also need an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of Phalaenopsis branches and leaves and prevent the aging of branches and leaves. Need to apply bean cake water every 20 days or so, do not apply raw fertilizer that is not mature, this will lead to root rot. And the moisture of the planting land should not be too much, otherwise it will also cause the root of Phalaenopsis to rot.

4. Shading and temperature control

Phalaenopsis likes to grow in a half-shaded and half-sunny environment, so when we plant Phalaenopsis in summer, we need to build shade around it. Generally, translucent materials are used for shading, so that it still has a certain amount of light. The second is that in winter, if there is sunshine, you need to open the shade. In order to prolong the flowering period of Phalaenopsis, florists usually shade Phalaenopsis before blooming, control the amount of water, and control the temperature at about 10 degrees, so that the flowering period of Phalaenopsis can be extended for at least half a month. Phalaenopsis is not cold-resistant, so the growth temperature can not be lower than 10 degrees, below 10 degrees need to be heat preservation treatment, the best temperature for Phalaenopsis growth is between 15 and 20 degrees, generally the temperature should be controlled within this range.

5. Disease and pest control

It is really not easy to raise Phalaenopsis. Its main diseases are soft rot, brown spot, anthracnose, virus and so on. These diseases are basically caused by poor permeability in the field and improper management of water and fertilizer in the field. We can use topiramate, chlorothalonil, carbendazim and stone sulfur mixture for control. The most common pests are shell insects, red spiders and snails, which can be poisoned with omethoate, dicofol and lime powder respectively.

Phalaenopsis is a kind of flower planting project with high economic benefits, but florists who do not have certain planting experience still need to consider carefully. That's all the editor wants to share with you today. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult us.
