Change basin and separate plant

The pot change time of adult gentleman orchids is generally carried out after flowering in spring, and plants that do not bloom in spring can change pots when they come out of the room.

Change the basin:

1. Carefully remove the orchid from the basin, and then remove the soil.

2. Prune the roots properly, cut off the old and diseased roots, and apply carbendazim powder to the wound for sterilization and disinfection.

3. When replaced with new culture soil, the new culture soil had better be prepared according to the ratio of rotten leaf soil: pine needle: river sand: charcoal = 4: 2: 3: 1. Thus increasing the nutrients and permeability of the soil.

4. The stereotyped orchids can be cultivated with the original type of pots, while growing up, they should use larger pots.

Ramet:

The main results are as follows: 1. For the plants with tillering buds at the base of the plant, with 3-4 new leaves, and the plant height is more than 10 cm, it is more appropriate to split the plant when changing the pot.

2. the new leaves can be carefully cut off from the mother plant with a sterilized sharp knife, and those without roots can be broken off by hand, and the wound is coated with sulfur powder or carbendazim for sterilization.

3. A single plant with roots can be planted directly in a small basin, while those without roots can be cultivated with fine sand first, and then maintained in the basin after rooting.

Watering and fertilizing

Due to the rising temperature in spring and the orchid entering the initial stage of growth, its water demand is increasing day by day. After the slow growth in winter, the orchid has little nutrients in the body, and there will be a high demand for fertilizer.

Watering:

Due to the increase in water demand, the number of watering should also increase accordingly, but pay attention to watering can not be too much, usually keep the basin soil moist. In the current season, water can be watered once every 4-5 days.

Fertilization:

Nitrogen fertilizer should be used as the main fertilizer for Magnolia. A thin liquid fertilizer, such as fermented bean cake fertilizer or urea solution, should be applied about 10 days after leaving the room.

Prevention and control of diseases and pests

With the rise of temperature, the diseases and insects in the dormant period begin to spread, invade the plant and affect its growth and development.

Prevention and control methods:

0.3-0.5 Baume-sulfur mixture can be used to spray plant leaves and bulbs once every 10 days for 2 or 3 times in a row, which can not only prevent diseases, but also kill overwintering pests.
