Orchids are not afraid of water in summer

The exegesis of "dry orchid and wet chrysanthemum" is always correct for ordinary orchids. In today's understanding, that is to say, there must be no waterlogging around the orchid root bark. If the orchid root infiltrates and absorbs too much water, the gas root can not breathe, making the orchid cycle maladjusted, resulting in rotten roots. Therefore, many orchid friends continue to summarize the watering of orchids, although the methods are different, but for the "dry orchid", we have reached a consensus. So what is "doing"? "dry" does not mean not watering, but watering properly. Dry orchid does not mean that orchids are afraid of water.

In fact, orchids like water, especially in summer. In order to water more without waterlogging, we must first prepare the plant material. It is best to be granular materials, such as broken bricks, shredded tiles, volcanic stone particles, sand particles and Emei immortal soil, pond cornerstones, and so on. Because the plant material has good water permeability, it will not be watered in the plant room at night because it will be watered one or three times during the day in the middle of summer.

Orchids are maintained in the open air in summer. When the temperature rises at about 10:00 in midsummer, spray thoroughly with a spray can and a grass basin, and the temperature will come down. By 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the water had evaporated and the plant material in the basin began to heat up. As in the previous method, it was quickly watered. By the time it was cool in the evening, the basin water had evaporated and there was no waterlogging in the basin. If the weather is very hot, the water can be advanced and postponed in the morning and evening, and it can be increased again at noon and watered three times a day. Such water is only good for orchids. If you still feel uneasy, you can also add spray in 2-3 hours of absolute high temperature at noon, then the bluegrass in the open sun can be safe. However, winter orchids and orchids still need to use 50% black net to shade the sun, and don't worry about watering.

The tap water used can be used directly if the pH value is less than 6.5. the tap water used can be used directly if the tap water is less than 6.5. It can also be stored in a cylinder and neutralized with ferrous sulfate or vinegar, but should be placed in a cool place.

High temperature and sufficient light in summer are conducive to the growth of bluegrass, so water is necessary for bluegrass. Bare feet and high temperature during the day, the activity of absorbing and producing nutrients from the air is very active. With sufficient water supply, the temperature can be reduced to an appropriate index, and sufficient light can make more nutrients from the leaves be transported back to the pseudo-bulbs and roots. At night, the water in the basin is empty, the root bulb breathes smoothly, the air and the water absorbed by the root during the day transport the nutrients transported by the leaves and the nutrients absorbed by the root from the plant to all parts of the plant, so that the plant can metabolize and grow. Therefore, this watering can not only make the bluegrass not dormant, but also make the orchid flourish and grow.

This kind of sunny and watery management in summer is particularly important for some orchids that overwintering in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai. Yin raise low-temperature orchids, long-term loss of light and temperature, accumulated light accumulated temperature will not be enough, such as summer no longer grab the temperature to grab the sun, bluegrass has always been weak, it is impossible to develop strong grass. It takes a lot of water and fertilizer to grab the sun and warm up. It uses a lot of water and consumes a lot of fertilizer. It needs to be fertilized at 6: 7 p. M. every 3-5 days.

According to practice, there is no need to worry about the rainy days and nights of the Huangmei season. After all, you can have a few hours to rest the rain. In the break between the rain, you can still meet the requirements of "dry orchid", and the orchid is fine. However, in case of typhoons and torrential rains, you must not be careless and should be protected. At the same time, the disease orchid, weak orchid, new plant orchid should be properly protected from the sun, and moisturize the basin and foliar spray.
