Raising orchids should be used alive.

First, if you want to raise orchids, you should use them lively. This is a word of encouragement given to me by Huang Peiran, a Taiwanese Damoda. Whenever I encounter difficulties in raising orchids, I think of this sentence: why do other people raise orchids so well? I use their methods to raise orchids, but they always fail to raise orchids. Of course, the key is that with different orchids and different environments, the materials and methods of growing orchids are different, and the management methods are different. Therefore, everyone's experience is different, these experiences can only be used for reference, and can not be imitated, otherwise it will kill Ailan.

Second, how to grow orchids alive must be due to problems in the environment, planting and management. Therefore, it is necessary to understand orchids and find out how to improve them, so it is possible to raise orchids well, but how to use them lively is a headache. The following points can be used as a reference to solve the problem of orchid cultivation. (1) to understand the orchid: because the origin of each orchid is different in latitude and height, the growth habits of orchids are different, so temperature, temperature difference between day and night, humidity, light intensity, ventilation …... And so on, the conditions for growth and flowering will be different, so do not raise too many different kinds of orchids, so as to avoid more difficult management. The correlation of light, water, fertilizer and planting materials of orchids by Wei Chang, a famous orchid grower in mainland China, is as follows: 1. Often hear orchid friends complain about poor root growth, blaming it all on plant materials, fertilizer, and watering. In the final analysis, they still do not understand the orchid. two。 If you want to have a good root system, you can't lose light. Light is the driving force of root development. The stronger the light, the more water transpiration on the leaf surface, the more nutrients are consumed, which promotes the root system to develop in order to increase the amount of water and fertilizer absorption, just like people, the amount of exercise is large, the amount of eating and drinking water is also large, as long as the nutrition can keep up, eat and drink enough to sleep well. It's hard not to be strong. If a person sits in the office all day, turns on the air conditioner, walks in the car, reaches for food, eats delicacies, and does not do exercise, he will have a lot of problems; on the contrary, he only knows how to do heavy physical work and do a lot of exercise, but the nutritional conditions do not keep up, not enough to eat and drink, it is also difficult to have a strong body. Everything in the world is connected by everything, and balance is the king. 3. If you understand this principle, it is not difficult to find the most suitable way of management for your environment. If your fertilizer is too fat, then, please increase the light as appropriate; if the plant material is too thin and strong in water retention, then you should also increase the light as appropriate; on the contrary, if the plant material is too thick and light, please reduce the light appropriately, and the water supply can be slightly less; if the plant material is coarse and the environmental light is strong, it is necessary to increase the amount of fertilizer and water, so as not to cause thin leaves and yellowing of bluegrass due to excessive consumption. 4. In nature, the same plant species has few shade roots and strong sun roots, which is almost an ironclad rule, don't you believe it? Just find a lawn to observe. Even if bluegrass is cultivated with the soil in the field, people who understand the principle can still raise it very well. The key to the availability of plant materials lies in management. After reading the above information several times, I will find that my orchid cultivation problem is there. My orchid environment adopts open and non-humidifying methods on the balcony. In the environment of strong light and high temperature, the transpiration of orchids is very exuberant. Although 1.5 centimeters of water is left at the bottom of the cup and fully watered at dusk, I hope it can replenish the moisture lost by orchids, but the growth of orchids is still slow. And all the buds can not grow completely, but the growth of orchids is still very slow, which means that the orchids do not replenish enough water, so under the condition of the sun (the temperature is above 33 degrees), they are now watered 2-3 times a day. After changing the watering, the new buds grow faster and the new roots grow straight, which means that the watering management method is correct. Therefore, watering and fertilizing depends on the needs of orchids, while how to look at the needs of orchids is mainly to look at the growth of orchids with their eyes and make a comprehensive judgment.

(2) to find out the differences in the environment and adopt different methods of planting, breeding and management. In fact, orchids are very dead. As long as the conditions for survival and growth are met, orchids are easy to raise. If the above conditions cannot be met, orchids will not grow up, bloom or die of illness, so the environment is different, and the methods of cultivation and management are different. Here are two examples to illustrate: 1. Planting materials and methods (1) the elder Wang Li often said that the use of orchid material should be loose, breathable and diuresis, so that the orchid root can grow well in this environment to maintain 85% humidity, and the flow in the space air, and bring out the waste gas in the basin. With the above conditions, the orchid root is white and grows very well. (the planting and breeding methods of Wang Li Chang are all mentioned in Ye Yi and Wang Li Chang's experience in training Dharma.)

(2) however, in the balcony of the open space, because there is no moisture or water wall to cool down, if the material is also loose, breathable and diuresis, the high temperature and dry air on the balcony will easily enter the basin, causing the orchid root to rot, and the orchid can not be raised well naturally. The way of improvement lies in my method of "discussing the planting method of national orchid in urban open environment (iron window, balcony, top floor)". Adopting the methods of leaving water at the bottom of the cup and using the exhaust pipe in the middle can also meet the conditions demanded by the elder Wang, such as looseness, air permeability, diuresis, high humidity and good ventilation in the basin, and the growth of Langen is naturally good.

two。 The use of fertilizer, senior Wang mentioned using Huabao 5000 times to irrigate, but when I use the above method to apply fertilizer, I often find brown fat injuries on the leaf tip, leaf midrib, leaf center and the edge of bud trousers in summer. This is because in a non-humidifying environment, fertilizer is affected by sunlight, temperature and wind, which causes fertilizer concentration to cause fertilizer injury. Of course, senior Wang mentioned that it was best to apply fertilizer at 1-3 o'clock in the morning, when the temperature was the lowest and the humidity of the dew was relatively high the next day. Watering water again before the sun came out could avoid the occurrence of fat injury, but because I loved to sleep, I had to get up in the middle of the night to apply fertilizer. It was too hard, so there was no fertilization, but orchid cultivation only depended on Haokangduo instead of using Huabao to top fertilizer, and the fertilizer was not enough, and the orchid grew slowly. When I think about the humidity of 85 degrees and the temperature below 28 degrees in my open balcony, when will there be such conditions? I think that only after the thunderstorm or typhoon in summer, the humidity in the air is very high and the temperature is low. I hurriedly fertilized, and before the temperature picked up the next day, wash the leaves with water again. In this way, the orchid leaves will no longer appear fat or injury. As for the highest temperature in spring and autumn below 29 degrees a day, I fertilized half an hour after watering in the sunny morning. This year, due to timely fertilization, the growth is better than in previous years, so the methods of planting and management in different environments should also be changed. Being able to grow orchids well is a good way. With regard to orchid planting and management methods, the planting methods and management methods are naturally different because of different environments, but the direction of adjustment is the same. For example, Langen is in a subtropical climate, the material should be loose, breathable, water-efficient, high humidity and good ventilation, but the humidity on the open balcony is not enough and the roots naturally do not grow well, so the planting method should be changed naturally, as long as it can meet the above five conditions. The growth of orchid root is naturally good (such as exploring the planting method of national orchid in urban open environment (iron window, balcony, top floor) other relevant watering and fertilization is also the same, it is necessary to think about when watering and fertilizing is better, of course, improper fertilization or watering, there will soon appear the phenomenon of fat injury and orchid leaf disease, then it is necessary to improve the management method, so as long as we understand the orchid, there is a way to grow orchids.

(3) to learn from other people's successful orchid-raising experience, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding and not one-sided learning. Everyone's environment is different, so the methods of orchid cultivation and management are different, so to learn from other people's successful orchid cultivation experience, we should start from orchid environment, species, pots, planting materials, watering, insecticidal, sterilization. I have a comprehensive understanding, and use my own experience in orchid cultivation to improve the methods of orchid cultivation and management. For example, when I saw the planting materials and methods of Zhu Dayong's predecessors, I had great doubts in my heart. Using this material to grow orchids on my balcony must have rotten roots, because over the past 10 years of experience, I have tried a lot of organic materials, which can not overcome the problem of rotting roots without spraying and sterilizing. So in the end, we can't plant it by planting gold stone and absorbing foam cotton, but we can see that the roots of the elder Zhu are well raised, and there are invisible blind spots. Later, the elder Zhu announced the treatment of planting materials. I just know that I don't know enough about the treatment of organic materials, and I need to learn more. The treatment methods of Zhi Lanbao materials are as follows (you can do it yourself if you have time or you can buy it quickly if you have time): Zhu's production process: 1. The fairy soil I bought was delivered to me only when the seller found a suitable soil layer. I paid in advance. two。 It takes more than half a month to soak the stone, and the water should be changed twice in the middle. 3. You have to buy thick bark, soak for half a month after sifting, and change the water in the middle. 4. Rinse and dry until half dry and put it in a plastic bag and expose it in the sun for half a month. 5. The most important thing, especially those with plastic basins, do not need very round particles at the bottom, it is easy to block the round hole very tightly. The selected material is more water-conserving than planting gold stone. 6. Because in this way, the plant in the basin can dry and wet at the same time. This kind of material is rarely found. I have consulted a lot of orchid friends, and there is almost no such material in their city. You can go to this kind of material yourself, . This material does not cost money to buy, but it is very difficult to process, it takes more than a month to soak, and the water has to be changed many times in the middle. I originally wanted to sell some plant materials to make money, but I really started working, which is not the same thing as what I thought. It's too tedious, which is the main reason why it can't be produced in large quantities.

My understanding of the production process of Zhi Lanbao 1. It takes more than half a month to soak the gold stone and change the water twice in the middle. This is to clean the dust, let it fully absorb water, eliminate anger, if directly used, the plant stone is not easy to absorb water, later watering is not easy to wet. two。 Buy thick bark, soak in water for half a month after sieving, and change the water once in the middle. This is to wash the dust from the bark and soak out the organic matter in the bark, so as to avoid the bark from causing high heat to harm the blue root. Soaking in the bark can also kill pests and eggs in the bark. 3. Rinse and dry until half dry and put it in a plastic bag and expose it in the sun for half a month. This is the use of the heat generated by the sun, the material will be thoroughly insecticidal and sterilization, and let the material fermentation, is really a good way. 4. The fifth is the most important, especially those with plastic basins, which do not need very round particles to cover the bottom, so it is easy to block the round hole very tightly, resulting in poor drainage, and the bottom material is more water-retaining than planting gold stone. this is really very important that the bottom of the basin uses the most absorbent material, so the bottom of the basin is the wettest, so the root will go to the bottom of the basin, and even if the basin is dry, the bottom of the basin is not dry. As a result, Langen will not be damaged by drying and the crystal will grow better. With regard to the treatment of organic materials, it takes a wealth of experience to determine whether the materials are completely unfermented materials. In an environment of high temperature and high humidity, bacteria will accelerate their decomposition to produce high heat, causing damage to the orchid root and causing rotten roots. Therefore, after the treatment of organic materials, it depends on whether the environment is dry or wet, to match the appropriate proportion of inorganic materials, such as goldstone, stone, bricks, coal shavings. Wait, wait,

(4) Orchid is the best way for teachers to grow and manage orchids. You can see from the growth of orchids. If orchids grow normally, their roots are not rotten, and they are not sick and blossom normally, it means that your planting and management methods are correct. Orchids are also in place. If orchids do not grow big, do not blossom, or become sick and scorch their tails. There are many problems, which means that there are not enough understanding of orchids, which leads to questions about planting and management. most people have a wrong idea that if orchids have been planted for a long time, they will adapt to my environment and grow well. Because of this misconception, I have always been unable to raise orchids for more than 10 years. Orchids are always rotten every year, although they will not die, but they are getting smaller and smaller year after year. Therefore, the orchid has told you that this method of planting and management is not good or wrong. Later, it is better to think about what orchids need and how to raise them. All the methods of planting and management based on orchids are constantly adjusted and changed. after more than a decade of groping, orchids are finally cultivated in the natural environment without adding moisture or water walls to cool down, nor do they need electric fans to strengthen air flow, nor do they use pesticides to kill insects and sterilization. The orchid can grow normally in the natural environment, so the orchid is my best teacher.

3. Conclusion: if orchid cultivation in Lanyou does not rot roots and grow well, then there is no need to change the planting and management methods, because your own method is the best method. If you change the planting materials and methods, the environment and watering will also change accordingly. Recently, some orchid friends in the mainland have seen that other planting materials have achieved good results, and the rotten roots of orchids have suffered heavy losses. It can be seen that there are too many variables in orchid cultivation, and other people's experience can only be used for reference. no wonder some orchids say it is "difficult to raise orchids", while Huang Peiran's predecessors even said, "those who do not know speak, those who know are silent", which means that the factors of raising orchids are very complicated. if you don't consider the environment and the species of orchids, it is often a good way to tell others how to grow orchids, but it is often a good way to let people grow dead orchids, so it is better not to keep silent. Orchids can not be raised well, it is necessary to think that the problem lies in that reason, how to solve the problem, when all problems are solved, orchids can be raised naturally.
