Orchids pipe water during high temperature and humidity

The high temperature and humidity of the annual Meiyu season in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is coming (Meiyu is not obvious in Sichuan and Chongqing, with the rise of air temperature, short-term commercial temperature and high temperature does exist, and Lanyou in this region also ignore this problem. This article focuses on high, high-temperature and humid pipe water). During this period, the orchid friend is very confused about the water tube of the orchid, especially the new orchid friend. Is it better to buckle the water or increase the watering times? It is true that people have different opinions, but they do not realize that the cultivation environment of each orchid friend is different and the water pipe is not the same, so it is difficult to unify the theory of watering more and watering less. Some Lanyou said that high temperature and humidity is the source of all diseases, so it emphasizes high ventilation and forced withholding water, which is close to the low temperature and high temperature in a small environment. This suppresses the natural rapid growth period of orchids, thus prolonging the recovery period of orchids and even the injury of new buds. This is a phenomenon that all orchids do not want to see. How can we control this degree at this critical time, so that the orchid can grow quickly without getting sick or less sick? This is one of the headache problems that every orchid friend must face and urgently need to solve. The following author will talk about the practice of using three kinds of pipe water here, hoping to be useful to Lanyou who has a headache during the period of high temperature and humidity.

I. methods of water use

Now the outdoor temperature hovers around 30 ℃ on a sunny day, and the outdoor air humidity is about 50% and 60%. The indoor air humidity is about 28 ℃, and the indoor air humidity is about 70%. This kind of temperature and humidity is the best for the rapid growth of orchid flowers, and it is also the author's greatest relief. In this kind of weather, water evaporation is also very strong, coupled with the help of the wind, it dries as fast as roasting. So the author takes corresponding measures to pipe the water; the 10-centimeter small tile basin is soaked once every three days, and the white and air-dried plant material on the basin surface is sprayed with a spray pot in the morning and evening, so that the basin surface is moist and lasting, and should be sprayed at noon if necessary. The 15cm medium tile basin is soaked once every five days, and the water spraying of the plant material on the basin surface is the same. The 20cm tile basin is soaked once every seven days, and the water-spraying plant material is implemented as well. 10 cm small plastic basin and large basin soak basin at the same time, basin surface plant spray water is also treated equally. The difference is that the author never sprays the orchid plant with water to prevent the bud core from rotting and causing other diseases. In fact, the air humidity requires that the plant does not need to spray water at all, so the orchid grows better and has less scorched tip.

2. Methods of water control

During this period, it is also necessary to control the water control of orchids, depending on the number of orchids, pots and plants. The author is arranged like this: spring orchid, spring sword and four seasons orchid are the same as water supply, in which large, medium and small tile pots are classified as water supply. The middle basin of the cymbidium is fed with a large basin. Small plastic pots feed water together with large ones. Purple sand basin and perspiration basin feed water together with large basin. In case of a long rainy day, the basin surface should be properly sprayed to prolong the water supply time, and if it is necessary to supply water, it will also supply water as scheduled, which must be inseparable from the brightening of the orchid growth lamp and the breeze of the micro fan.

Third, balanced water use

Ensure a balance in the water supply of orchids and never give more or less at will. In a few days of immersion to ensure that the balance is transparent, large, medium and small pots are treated equally. Tap water stored for two or three days is mixed with fresh tap water to strive for a soft-hard balance of water quality, so that the activity and oxygen molecules in the water are more filled. The dry-wet balance of the upper, middle and lower layers of the plant family can be achieved by adjusting the water spraying of the basin plant. When spraying water to the basin plant, make sure that the balance is in place, so that the growth of the new root should not be blocked by local over-drying for a short time. If the water supply is balanced during the growth of the orchid, the orchid will thrive.

Prerequisites: the orchid cultivation environment in this paper is an orchid room facing south, the ventilation rate is open through the window at any time, and the pipe water is not limited by the weather, because the orchid room is equipped with orchid growth lights. Supply water as long as the orchid needs water, never wait until the next day. The cleanliness of the orchid room is also first-class, and now it can brighten, humidify and ventilate the aquatic products at the right time. It is the author's principle that air conditioners should never be used during periods of high temperature and humidity.

This article is only to provide reference, you must adjust measures to local conditions, might as well practice more comparison, after all, this is a rational understanding, from their own environment to work out the details. Stimulate domestic demand and manage water to make your orchids grow better in high temperature and humidity! I wish you success! (Guoxiangju)
