September Orchid Nurturing Notice

Notes on orchid cultivation in September

First, there are two seasons this month, White Dew (8th or 9th) and the Autumn Equinox (23rd or 24th). The monthly average temperature is similar to that of June, about 25 °C, and the summer heat is gradually fading, with a slight sense of autumn. The roots and leaves of orchids are already very luxuriant, so they can bask in a little more sunlight to increase the rigidity of bluegrass and enhance their ability to resist diseases and winter cold. Shade can be used to sparse curtains, and shading work can basically be finished in the last ten days. However, for the special weather with high temperature, it still needs shade and should not be careless.

Second, correctly understand "autumn does not dry", in autumn to prevent drought, that is, to prevent "water chestnut dryness", but also need to water more when dry for a long time, to avoid the pot material is too dry, it is better to be "moist". However, if the rainy day is long, we need to pay attention to water control, after the weather can not see the pot soil slightly dry to water, to give bluegrass a chance to breathe. If you need to see flowers, you need to control the water to promote drying and promote the growth of buds. Autumn climate is dry, should pay attention to increase air humidity, can spray water on the ground, conditional can use fog machine or water curtain, humidifying effect will be better. But humidification must have "degree", too high humidity bluegrass resistance to disease will decline, easy to lead to the occurrence of disease, which must be paid attention to.

Third, the typhoon is still on the verge of onset this month. In order to do a good job in Taiwan prevention, there will be strong winds and torrential rain during the typhoon, dry air may hit after the typhoon, and the sun may shine brightly and the heat is pressing. All these need to be taken precautions.

4. Scale insects, red spiders, aphids, slugs and snails are rampant this month, and soft rot and black spot often occur. Attention should be paid to insecticide and sterilization, but pesticides should not exceed the normal dosage. We should pay attention to changing the variety of drugs regularly. The orchid farm should be thoroughly disinfected once or twice a month. The medication time is still better in the evening, so spraying, the retention time of the liquid is long, which is helpful to enhance the effect of insecticidal and sterilization.

5. After the Autumn Equinox season (late), autumn is high and crisp, which is a good time for turning pots to change materials and ramet breeding. Orchids that need to turn pots or ramets can work in time according to the essentials of turning pots and ramets during this period of time.

Sixth, all kinds of flower buds begin to penetrate the soil this month. in order to protect the buds, we should pay attention to observing and identifying the colors, veins, and shapes of various buds, so as to enhance our ability to identify different varieties. If you want to appreciate, it is best not to turn the ramet. For example, in order to proliferate, in order to send more new buds next year, the buds can be removed, the method of removal: grasp the rotation of the buds, can be removed.

Seventh, orchid grass can be fertilized boldly this month, and fertilization is very important during this period of time. It can not only promote this year's new grass to grow into a strong grass, but also promote orchid grass to accumulate nutrients and provide a guarantee for sprouting and growing grass next year. Fertilization can be done every 7 to 10 days, root fertilization and foliar fertilization are carried out alternately, and organic fertilizer, inorganic fertilizer and biological bacterial fertilizer are used alternately. We should pay attention to the complete content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and appropriately increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. The application of organic fertilizer should be insecticidal and sterilized. the specific methods are as follows: adding insecticidal and germicidal agents to the original solution one day in advance, and then watering it with water the next day, the effect is better.

Eighth, this month is the golden season for the growth of bluegrass, and the management can be "big fertilizer, big water, big sun", that is, fertilizer can be applied boldly, water can be poured with confidence, and the sun can bask in the ground at will. However, laissez-faire management is by no means reckless, that is, big fertilizer should not be thick, water should not hurt water, and the sun should not be exposed to high temperature. we should pay attention to "autumn tigers" and should not be careless.

9. After the "the Autumn Equinox" season, there is another golden period for introduction and trading, so we should seize the opportunity to find new species and develop our own Lan Yuan. If you are willing to transfer your surplus varieties, on the one hand, you can accumulate funds to grow flowers; on the other hand, you can make friends with orchids, and at the same time, it is easy to find the varieties you need, and you can strengthen yourself at the same time.
