This is because I don't know anything about life before buying.

1 Do not know habits, buy when you like

Beginners orchid easy to be tempted by the United States, see a favorite beautiful orchid, anxious to buy it, soon spent Xie, orchid plants also followed the fragrant disappear jade perishing. This is because before buying do not understand the growth habits, after buying and did not check clearly, both buy it is planted, seems to be in luck, such success rate is too uncertain.

2. Small plants should not be planted in large pots

Orchid growth habits and general herbaceous flowers are not the same, most of the orchid drought resistance is strong, do not like dense, poor drainage of the plant material, if the pot is too large, the amount of material used is too much, watering after the water absorption is too strong, not easy to dry, resulting in rapid decay of the plant material, damage to the roots.

Of course, you will think that large pots use more materials and more nutrients, but orchids do not need too much nutrients, ventilation, drainage is more important than nutrients, and smaller pots are beneficial to the growth of orchids.

3 Do not water frequently

Flower lovers all have a compassionate and kind heart, and flowers and plants are no exception. When they see a little dry, they can't help watering them, even whether they are dry or not, they will water them several times a day. After a long time too wet, root rot, love it instead harm it.

Constant watering does more harm than little watering. Because orchids lack water, they will only lose their vitality, which can be recuperated; too much water will rot the roots and die, which is difficult to remedy. Those who have the habit of watering sex should pay attention to improvement.

4 Do not apply fertilizer when there is fertilizer

Beginners often have this common problem, that is, there is fertilizer on fertilization, sometimes someone gives a packet of fertilizer, no matter what the composition is, fierce fertilization, resulting in the long not long, the flowering does not bloom, self-defeating.

The three elements of fertilizer, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, must be applied in different proportions according to plant growth needs and application methods in order to exert fertilizer efficiency. Therefore, before fertilizing, we must first understand the proportion of fertilizer components, and then appropriate fertilization.

5 Do not over-fertilize

This is also a common problem for beginners. Fertilizer instructions clearly write a few grams of dosage, but in the application, always feel so little enough, and then give it more, so excessive fertilization, finally occurred fertilizer damage.

Plants absorb fertilizer for a certain period of time and limit, must not be excessive fertilization. Remember! The principle of fertilization is "less and more", and the instructions are written to dilute 1000 times. We would rather dilute it 1500 times, and there will always be no mistakes.

6 Don't plant too deep

People who cultivate ordinary flowers and trees at ordinary times will habitually plant orchids very deeply when they are new to orchid cultivation, resulting in insufficient oxygen, blocked growth, and even new buds and root rot.

Orchid growth habits and general flowers and trees different, must be recognized. Even if it is unstable after planting, try to support it with iron wire or pillars. Do not use deep planting method to stabilize orchid plants.

7 Don't be crazy.

Orchid in principle is pleasant, must do what you can, must not be possessed, ignoring the due work or a large amount of economic overdraft. If you want to become a professional orchid breeder, it is best to communicate with people in the orchid industry to discuss future business methods and avoid blind investment.
