The latest way to deal with the arrow in the orchid.

When it comes to gentleman orchids, we must be no stranger. Although this kind of flower has only a short history of 40 years in folk farming in China, it is deeply loved by people because of its dazzling flowers and green leaves. However, if it is mentioned that the arrow is caught in the orchid, only the friends who really know it can understand it, because the word "arrow clip" is unique to the orchid, which means that the arrow stalk cannot be pulled out when the orchid blossoms and is sandwiched in the middle of the leaves. It can't grow up, and there's nowhere to go down. If it is not dealt with in time, the arrow will die in the middle of the leaves!

If you still don't understand what an arrow is, you can refer to the following picture.

As can be seen from the picture, the flower bone of the gentleman orchid is sandwiched between the leaves, which is caused by the failure to pull out the arrow stalk in time, that is, the typical "gentleman orchid clip arrow".

So why does the gentleman orchid have this kind of arrow entrapment phenomenon? there are congenital reasons as well as acquired reasons. the congenital reason is mainly caused by the unhealthy growth of the gentleman orchid itself. the latter nature is the reason for the lack of care for them. let's take a specific look at why the orchid is caught with arrows.

1. Poor quality

The quality is the growth of the orchid, and you can see whether it will clip arrows from the orchid you buy home. The main manifestations of Cymbidium are as follows: the leaves are pointed, the veins are irregular, there are more than 5 vertical veins, the leaves are thinner, the thickness of the edge and the middle of the leaves are quite different, and the leaves are messy and appear in the east of the upper leaves and the west of the lower leaves when the light is uneven.

two。 Temperature discomfort

The best temperature for the orchid to draw arrows is 20 ℃. When the temperature is below 15 ℃, the arrows are difficult to grow. In addition, the size of the temperature difference also has a certain effect on the growth of flower arrows. If the temperature is the same during the day and night, the orchid does not accumulate enough nutrients and the arrows do not have enough strength to grow.

3. Lack of nutrition

When the orchid blossoms, it needs certain nutrients-phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which is a problem that many flower friends will ignore. The flowering of plants should not be watched by the sidelines, and appropriate help should be given.

4. Basin soil anoxia

There are many reasons for the lack of oxygen in the basin soil, such as soil hardening and overwatering. This phenomenon directly or leads to poor root growth of Cymbidium, leaves and flower stems lack the source of nutrient supply, so it is inevitable to clip arrows.

Knowing the specific reason for the arrow clip, the next is the topic that everyone is most concerned about-- what to do after the arrow clip? The quickest and most effective way to deal with the orchid after trapping the arrow is to move the orchid to a completely dark place, keep the temperature at 18-20 ℃, and then use a plastic bag or a softer rope, as shown in the picture, to separate the leaves. After 3-5 days of this treatment, the flower arrow can be pulled out.

In addition, through the experience summed up after practice, many flower friends have come to the conclusion that the problem of arrow entrapment can also be solved by watering the orchid with warm water of about 25 degrees Celsius and a small amount of beer.

Since there is an arrow trap in the gentleman's orchid, it shows that there are problems with maintenance, and adjustments must be made in a timely manner:

1. Increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Even in the gentleman orchid arrow has been drawn, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is also essential, especially in autumn and winter blossom, to mention the supplement of nutrients.

two。 New soil. Do not change the soil when it is in bloom, but wait until the flowers fade. According to the growth of the plant, half of the new soil will be replaced. After changing the soil, it should be noted that it cannot be watered within 5 days.

3. Deal with the rotten roots. The reason why some orchids trap arrows is that the roots rot, so they should be dealt with in time, which means that it was very difficult for them to blossom. Remove the arrows from the basin, clean up the rotten roots, disinfect them, and replant them. If the rotting roots of the orchids are not serious, there is still hope for the extraction of flowers and arrows.

Arrow entrapment is a very common problem, and this problem can also be easily solved through the method introduced in this article, so there is no need to worry too much, but if the phenomenon of arrow entrapment has appeared for several years in a row, it is necessary to seriously analyze whether their own breeding is a problem and whether the maintenance method is correct! The most shared are some pictures of orchids blooming normally, which look very beautiful!
