The growth of young buds of orchids

Orchid growth process: granulation---bud---

First: granulation just unearthed do not need fertilizer, is to rely on the mother plant to provide trace nutrients to grow.

Second: granulation transformation to bud in the rapid growth period, but also by the mother plant transmission of trace nutrients.

First and second, my management is the same at this time. The bud cannot stand on its own and can only absorb insignificant nutrients. No matter how many buds the mother plant carries, it can bear them. During this period of fertilization, the mother plant absorbs and transmits it to the small bud again. The small bud itself does not need fertilizer, but absorbs only trace nutrients to maintain itself, which will not bear it and cause fertilizer damage.

Third, after the sprouts enter the rapid growth stage, there will be a period of slowing down the growth process, that is, the rooting period of the sprouts, which is also the period when the buds have the greatest appetite and need the most nutrients. At this time, the sprouts need the mother plant to transmit and support them. In order to raise the next generation of mother plants, they begin to be stressed. At this time, some fertilizers are given to ensure the normal supply of mother plants. Although the sprouts in this period have roots and can absorb some fertilizers, they still rely on the support of mother plants. It still needs to be absorbed by the mother plant and then transferred to the bud again.

The management of the third period is the most important, which is directly related to the re-elevation of buds after rooting.

Fourthly, during the period when the buds are raised again, they can absorb most of the nutrients themselves, and the height is high, and the leaves are wide and long.

Orchid first raise roots, strong roots of the mother plant through their own absorption, transmission to the bud. The mother plant with weak roots absorbs weak by itself, and the transmission process is more limited in nutrients, which must not lead to strong seedlings.
