The main points of the method of "planting orchids with heavy water"

The key links of "big water planting orchid" are four points: small basin, hard planting material, watering and sunshine. 1. First of all, the "basin". The pot is the relative space for the growth of orchids, and its material, size and shape should be selected according to the growth habits and root conditions of orchids. The choice of basin shape should be mainly slender type, which is beneficial to ventilation and water permeability. The selection of the size of the basin is the most critical link. Highlighting the word "small", how can it be considered small? we should take the root system of the orchid plant as the reference object, and the basin body that can allow the root system to be placed naturally should be the most suitable. You think that a little small may be the most appropriate, also known as "looking at the root and choosing the basin". With the gradual growth of orchid seedlings, the basin also gradually increased accordingly. 2, the second is "soil". The configuration of plant material is based on the principle of "water and ventilation". The usual formula is "humus plus granular plant material, which can provide nitrogen fertilizer for plant growth in the process of water fermentation. granular material is to provide different minerals and other trace elements, while increasing the gap of the whole plant material, providing aerobic space to promote the growth of blue bacteria. The selection of plant particle size should be determined by the size of the basin, coarse material in large basin and fine material in small basin. The author has a deep understanding of "big grain produces big root, small grain produces small root", while the planting of orchid is big grain gold plant plus small grain immortal soil, which not only prevents, but also makes up for the weakness of poor ventilation of small grain material. 3. "water". According to the ancients, the cultivation of orchids is the process of management. there are many aspects of management, such as environmental management, moisture management, nutrition management, temperature and humidity management, pest control and so on. But moisture management is the top priority of orchid management. The three major conditions for orchids to grow are sunlight, water and air, which, needless to say, can be found everywhere, but the water needed for orchids growing in a relatively "pot environment" is controlled by people. This law advocates "heavy water management", which means that the amount of watering can be unlimited, because relatively "small pots" and "coarse materials" have been selected before watering, so no matter how much water is left in the basin and cause rotten roots, just imagine the orchids of nature. Rain Water won't be waterlogged for a few weeks. Watering in the process of planting orchid refers to watering once, that is, all the plants are drenched once, and the advantage of watering is that the flow drives the airflow in the basin, renews the oxygen in the basin and promotes the symbiosis of root bacteria. At the beginning of the orchid plant pot, the plant material will ferment rapidly in the presence of water, which will produce high heat and a lot of waste gas, which will harm the orchid root. The solution is only heavy water, which can reduce heat and wash away the waste gas. Of course, heavy water will also wash away too much nourishment, making the plant material aging ahead of time. The solution is to supplement fertilizer or shorten the time limit for changing pots, and to apply "micro-fertilizer" under the premise of heavy water, that is, there is fertilizer for every watering, which is also in line with the principle of "frequent application of thin fertilizer". Water can be served three times a day in summer, and it can also be reduced to three times a day in cold and cloudy days. The characteristic of "flood planting orchid" lies in the arbitrariness of watering. "flood" can be understood as two aspects: one is to increase the amount of watering; the other is to increase the frequency of watering. This is very easy for newcomers to master, but it is not random watering. Although random watering will not lead to failure, it cannot be a good thing. The key is to master a principle: more watering in hot days, less watering in cold days, more watering in sunny days, less watering in cloudy days, more watering in small pots, less watering in big pots, more watering of new soil, less watering of old soil, most of evaporation and less evaporation. " "dry and wet", speed up the festival Qin, stimulate the growth of orchid root. 4, sunshine management. Sunlight is a necessary condition for plant growth. As the saying goes, "all things grow by the sun", and so do orchids. First of all, sunlight provides photosynthesis. Orchid leaves synthesize organic compounds from moisture and carbon dioxide in the air through light to supply the necessary chlorophyll for orchid growth, and to ensure that the original chlorophyll is not "whitened". Secondly, through sunlight exposure, it can provide the normal accumulated temperature needed for the growth of orchid plants. if the accumulated temperature is not enough all the year round, the out-of-season, as we all know, is the result of the illumination process or insufficient. The orchid plant cannot grow normally. Third, light can regulate the physiological cycle of orchids, and the management of sunlight should be moderate. The specific grasp of "strong light and flashing light" depends on the environment, specific orchid plants, and people. The principle is "strong plants, good plants with excellent roots, and more sunlight in cold seasons, thin plants, unsound roots, and less light in hot seasons." Planting orchid with flood water can make the root system of orchid intact and strong, accelerate the seedling rate, strengthen the growth rate, and the overall stress resistance of orchid plant. We should pay attention to the integrity of four links, and we should not only pay attention to "heavy water" while neglecting the cooperation of pot material and light.
