The pot of orchids

Orchid pot is the basic skill of orchid cultivation. We advocate the use of barrel pots and master the method of flat planting, but the specific application is both simple and complex.

Using mud basin, humus soil can be used to cultivate soil. It is recommended not to use dust slime under fourteen eyes. After the basin is annealed, it is best to cover the bottom hole with a hydrophobic cover, or plastic window screen, and then install a layer of broad bean-sized bricks, shredded tiles or foam blocks (making it an excellent cushion material for the exchange space of water and air). Because of its good air permeability, when Langen elongates, it can penetrate the plastic block and extend to the bottom of the basin. The orchid seedlings were split and merged according to Nengpeiao. For example, in order to breed Cymbidium, if the root system of the pseudo-corm of the strong grass is good, it is generally more suitable to use 3mur5 seedlings in a pot; for example, if the grass is rejuvenated, in order to watch the flowers or need to do an exhibition, you can plant 7 Mill, 8 seedlings or even 10 seedlings in a large pot. Chardonnay use a deep pot, larger, should not be less than 3 Mel 4 seedlings, because the corm is small and not easy to grow grass. In order to blossom, Charan should try to keep the big grass. If they are all strong grasses, first clean up the decaying roots and retain the roots as far as possible to facilitate fixation and water delivery. The disease spot and the scorched head leaf are cut into a wedge with sharp scissors for the benefit of the view. After it is repaired, it can be served in the basin. For example, if the root and leaf diseases are serious, wash the clock with 1% copper sulfate or potassium permanganate and dry it a little bit before divining the basin. Before salting, the sifted soil should be sprayed with water instead of forming a ball. When there is no floating water, the prepared orchid seedlings should be placed in the middle of the basin, the top of the bulb should be at the bottom of the basin 2cm, the roots should be evenly arranged, and the orchid seedlings should be upright in one hand, fill the soil around the roots in the basin with a flower shovel in the other, and fill 1/3 with large grains. Around, shake the basin on the soft ground, fill the medium-grained soil, shake the basin while filling, and gently pier the basin on the ground with both hands when filling to the middle of the bulb, so that there is no gap around the root. If you find that the bulb is too low, you can gently lift it and then pier it, and then cover the basin surface with fine-grained soil, so that the corm is not exposed, and the culture soil is lower than the basin edge divination 2cm is appropriate. After planting a batch of potted grass, if it is a traditional species, you should make a good number, insert a label, spray a can with a fine eye, and spray it face up and down the flower leaves and around the flowerpot until the bottom is covered with running water. Good orchid pots should be placed on shelves with scattered light, ventilation and ventilation, and it is best not to be exposed to sunlight within a week.

Secondly, the essentials of the use of lotus ace fairy soil is that the bottom material is called with shredded tiles and foam blocks, and medium particles are used directly. The most important problem is to soak each grade of particles with water before use. You should not stick to the length of time, you should fish out the particles, break them with your hands and see with your own eyes whether the particles are wet through. If it is not soaked thoroughly, it will be difficult to water it thoroughly after planting. This is the key point that should be paid attention to in the use of fairy soil. The process of putting on the basin is more or less the same as that of the tile basin.

The key point on the basin is to be at the bottom. If the plastic window screen covers the bottom hole, it must be covered with broken bricks and tiles as a water seepage layer. If the machine-made plastic drain cover is used to cover the bottom hole, three small pieces of foam should be used to set up the drain cover to avoid water leakage at the edge, and then the water seepage layer should also be laid. In this way, if the pellets are added to the plate, they can be watered with fertilizer and water in summer. No matter how much fertilizer and water will not store water at the bottom of the basin and rot the roots.

The culture medium of soilless culture can be used separately except for those suspected of pollution and should be exposed to the sun or steam microwave disinfection. From the bottom to the basin, layered with large, medium and small particles, the upper basin buried the blue root and the bulb. It should be noted that do not hurt the rhizome, sometimes use chopsticks to poke the broken soil so that it is evenly distributed around the orchid root, to avoid gaps, as far as possible pier solid, the granule material on the good salt, should soak the basin in the bucket, while soaking while shaking, make sure that the particle medium surrounds all the langen. If you water it, you should water it twice more and be sure to water it thoroughly so as not to burn the roots.

No matter which kind of pot method, the bulb should be covered strictly, because the bulb is the matrix of rooting and hairy grass, each stem can grow seven or eight roots and have seven or eight hidden buds. Rooting and sprouting are carried out under dark conditions, if not covered strictly, it is disadvantageous to rooting and sprouting.

We do not advocate planting Cuiyun grass in orchid pots indoors and on balconies. After years of observation, the orchid is clean and grows well when it is not cultivated in soil. The indoor and balcony of orchids should pay special attention to cleanliness and hygiene, such as planting green cloud grass is bound to attract all kinds of mites, aphids, centipedes and other insects, it is better not to plant the grass.
