The methods and points for attention of orchid culture taught by the old man are more practical than any other method.

Orchid is a famous Chinese flower, which has been a profound knowledge since ancient times. many people think that it is difficult to raise orchids and always regard orchids as very delicate plants. In fact, it is not difficult to cultivate orchids. At first, I thought it was difficult to raise orchids, but through the advice of an old man who had raised orchids for decades, I thought that raising orchids was as simple as raising ordinary plants. The following is to introduce the breeding methods and matters needing attention of orchids.

1, material, raise orchid, first of all, the material is very important, the root of orchid belongs to aerial root, very fragile and tender, its growth conditions need to have good air permeability and drainage. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that orchids grow roots first, and when the roots grow well, it is natural for them to grow leaves or blossom. The material can be mixed with granular plant material and bark, such as pine bark, willow bark, etc., and granular plant material can be used with ceramsite, broken brick grain, volcanic stone and so on. But this kind of material only plays the role of ventilation and drainage, and there is no nutrition inside. At this time, some soft materials can be added to the above materials, and the soft materials can choose fermented peanut shells and rotten leaf soil, no matter what kind of materials are selected. we must ensure that it is loose and breathable, which is the essence of raising orchids.

2, watering, watering orchids can neither be quantified, nor fixed time, but should be flexibly mastered according to the water retention of materials and the change of weather. But the general principle of watering is: when the material in the basin is dry, it should be watered thoroughly every time. But some of the material looks dry, but the material inside is still wet, so you need to wait another day or two before watering it. It is difficult for anyone to give a reasonable answer to the method of watering, which requires constant groping and observation for a long time.

3, fertilization, many novice orchids think that it does not matter as long as they apply fertilizer frequently according to thin fertilizer, which is the reason for the failure of many orchid farmers. Orchids are very sensitive to fertilizer and water and cannot be fertilized for at least a month after transplanting. Orchids that have just been transplanted need a period of time to recover and apply. At this time, fertilization will definitely die. Fertilization should wait for a month after transplanting, and it should be thin and less, it is best to use special fertilizer for orchids.

4, aquaculture environment, home orchids are generally cultivated indoors, and indoor farming should be placed in places with bright light, preferably where scattered light can be accepted. If the light is insufficient, the photosynthesis of the leaves is weakened, which leads to the lack of nutrients, which makes the branches and leaves thin and hinders the budding and flowering. Good ventilation is an essential environmental factor for the growth of orchids. Ventilation can not only increase leaf photosynthesis, but also reduce the occurrence of diseases and insect pests. If the orchid growth environment is dry and the temperature is low, it is extremely disadvantageous to the orchid growth. Therefore, the humidity in the air should be increased by sprinkling and spraying to prevent the dry environment from causing harm to the orchid plant.
