Hydroponic Culture technique of Orchid

The hydroponic culture of orchid is a new cultivation method of soaking the orchid root directly in the water with culture medium without soil or other cultivation medium. this method is easy to learn and easy to master. It is mainly divided into six steps:

1. Choose a special hydroponic flowerpot. Hydroponic orchid cultivation uses a special hydroponic flowerpot with no hole at the bottom, a double-layer mesh screen with a water capacity of 1.5ml / 6kg, a culture medium in the outer basin, a grid screen in the inner basin and a mesh size of 2cm × 2cm. The ribs between the meshes are fixtures for holding bulbs and orchid plants, such as stones or sponges.

two。 Transplant orchid plants. Pluck up the orchid plants planted in the soil to remove rotten roots and old roots. if there are too many roots, you can cut off part of the roots with scissors close to the bulb, and then rinse the mud and dirt on the roots with clean water.

3. Disinfect. The orchid plant was disinfected once before it was implanted into a hydroponic pot. the whole plant was immersed in 100 mg / L potassium permanganate solution for 15 minutes, and then rinsed with clean water.

4. Implant a hydroponic pot. The roots were divided into 3 groups and inserted into 2 Mel 3 sieve holes. The roots that had passed through the sieve foramen were pulled slightly by hand so that the bulb clung to the cross ribs in the middle of the sieve foramen.

5. Fixed orchids. Use one hand to straighten the orchid plant, and the other hand to hold the washed 3cm × 5cm pebbles around the plant and shake it slightly around the inner sieve. The orchid plant will be fixed in the center of the inner sieve (you can also use a sponge as a fixture for the orchid plant).

6. Add the culture medium. Rinse the fixed stone with clean water again, fill the outer basin with clean water (drinking water can be used as planting water), and put orchid culture liquid in the water. In this way, the migration work is complete.
