Deep and shallow species of orchids

In the orchid friends who have the original land of orchid grass, you will find that most of the old lu heads of the orchid grass on the mountain are half exposed on the ground. There is a saying in the Quran book "Lan Yi". It can be seen that most of the natural wild orchids are very shallow. As a result, some people summed up the experience of "orchids grow well, the wind will fall."

The shallowness of orchid species exposes most of the old Lu's head, receives more light and fresh air, and alleviates the stings of water and fertilizer to the growing point of the root and bud on the old Lu's head to a certain extent. that。 It makes the old Lutou easy to sprout, more buds, of course, more buds, because of the supply of nutrients, buds are relatively weak.

The orchid plant is so deep that the old lu head is buried in the plant material. In the usual management, especially when watering and fertilizing, it is easy to pour fertilizer and water into the central leaf. Then, if it is a new seedling, it is easy to pour the seedling. If it is a flood culture method, because the petiole is in precise contact with the plant material, it is easy to cause the petiole to be damaged by water, and then break the leaf. However, if the plant is deep, to a certain extent, the new bud can accumulate strength, just like before to make the nutrition of two bud eat to a bud to eat, let the new bud eat enough nutrition, so that it in the process of unearthing, constantly accept resistance to increase its unearthed capacity, so the new buds of deep species are stronger, so orchids are easy to sprout.

If we first put the orchid species shallow and fully accept the light, then it is possible to sprout more, and then after seeing the budding point, we wrap the old Lutou with a layer of water moss to simulate the depth of the orchid species, so as to increase the thickness of the pot surface and give proper water and fertilizer management. When the new buds grow strong. In fact, some careful orchid friends may have noticed that the bluegrass potted brick I planted is relatively large. I just put the bluegrass a little shallower, and then put a large piece of red brick around Lao Lu's head to give him a deep environment for unseemly planting. The purpose is also to want shallow and deep nursing.

Thus it can be seen that deep and shallow species have their own advantages and disadvantages, but as long as they are properly managed and complement each other, they can make the orchid sprouts grow more and stronger.
