Comprehensive key points of Water Management

Orchid tube water has a lot of knowledge, it is difficult to learn, it is necessary to understand the physiology of its flowering, as well as many times of practical experience in order to understand its keys. Some people often ask me how many times a day the orchid boils water, which is very difficult to answer.

The following factors should be considered in water management: season, sunshine, temperature, humidity, orchid basin, substrate, orchid plant and environment, etc. These comprehensive factors determine how long an orchid pot can be watered, because these factors and their changes vary from time to time, and they are very complicated, so we can only make appropriate water supply based on practical experience and understanding of the physiology of orchids. There is a saying in the Quran: "there is no definite law for irrigation." this is reasonable. Water management can be carried out correctly only by long-term observation. In spite of this, after the long-term practice of our predecessors, the following are common issues and relatively mature experience.

1. Rain Water or snow water is the best water for orchids, followed by river water. Well water is followed by water that combines mineral substances. Alkaline water is not suitable. When it is necessary to use tap water, it is best to use it one or two days after the chlorine in the water is volatilized.

two。 Watering in the hot season should be done after sunset in the evening to avoid burning the water on the leaf surface after exposure to the sun, and to prevent the young part of the new bud from being soaked by high-temperature water.

3. Watering in the cold season should be carried out in the daytime, so as to avoid water frostbite in the basin at night, especially avoid stagnant water in the orchid heart, which is easy to make the young plants rot.

4. When there are disease spots on the leaves of orchid plants, the leaves should be kept dry to prevent the spread of germs.

5. If you use the traditional cultivation substrate, it is best to use the "one dry and one wet" pipe water method, that is, the topsoil is dry before watering, and it is necessary to water thoroughly until the bottom of the basin comes out of the water. This kind of dry-wet alternating pipe water is very beneficial to the growth of Langen. In winter, if there is no heat preservation equipment, it is appropriate to water less.
