10 points for attention in planting orchids

1. Wound prevention first: when changing pots or ramets, there are wounds on stems, leaves and roots. It is safer to smear the wounds with fungicides to prevent bacteria from invading. It is safer to water them every 2 to 3 days after planting. two。 Old pots should be disinfected: new pots should be used for planting orchids, but it is a pity that a large number of cultivation pots can be used only once. You can disinfect old pots with disinfectants and use them again. 3. The pot is not too big: small plants grow in large pots, the amount of plant material is more, it is easy to lead to poor ventilation, watering humidity is not easy to uniform. If more watering and absorbing too much, the plant material is not easy to dry, bacteria are easy to invade, resulting in root rot. 4. The orchid plant should be planted shallowly: the orchid plant should not be deeply planted, and the base of the orchid plant will rot if it is moist for a long time. When planting, fill the root with the plant material, and the base or pseudo-corm must be exposed and not buried in the plant material. 5. New buds are placed in the center: orchids are not planted in the middle of the pot. New buds should be placed in the middle of the basin. For the time being, they seem to be crooked, but in the future the new buds will grow up and blossom in the middle of the pot. 6. The root should be unfolded: the root of the orchid should be uniformly expanded in all directions and should not be squeezed into a ball, so that each root can contact the plant material, and the ventilation is good, otherwise it is easy to rot. 7. The body of the plant should be fixed: the orchid plant cannot be deeply planted, so it is often unstable, so it must be fixed with pillars, strings or hooks, so that it will not shake and hurt the base. 8. Plant material slightly pressed: orchid plant material must be aerated and drained well, but plant material should also be slightly pressed, otherwise the base space is too large and the root growth is poor. The correct way is to compact from both sides, not from above. 9. Do not water for several days: newly planted orchids, the roots may be injured, the wound coated with fungicides, 3 to 5 days without watering, can achieve efficacy, but also promote the growth of new buds and new roots. This is the difference between orchids and ordinary plants and flowers. 10. Avoid strong light: newly planted orchids must avoid direct sunlight to prevent excessive dehydration. They should be placed in warm and shady places to spray to increase the humidity in the air until the orchid plants return to normal growth.
