Red brick grain raises orchid

Raise orchid has been to avoid dampness, the so-called orchid, wet chrysanthemum. People regard the planting materials and watering of orchids as the key to cultivating orchids. Lan you sit together and talk about orchids. It is difficult to raise orchids at the exit, but it is difficult to choose which kind of plant material and how to water it reasonably. Gu Yun: "raise orchid a little, watering for three years." It takes three years for visible light to learn to water. And often complain that the water is too wet, and some say that I may not be thoroughly watered, and that there are so many burnt heads of orchid leaves. Wait, wait,

In the past, the author also liked to use traditional methods to raise orchids. Vegetable garden mud, coke mud and sawdust are often mixed together as planting materials. The management method is also old-fashioned. Because the mind thinks that orchids like to dry, they often dare not to water too much, but not in the water table. Bluegrass can not get enough water and nutrients, which affects the growth, seedling and flowering of bluegrass. Most old grasses fall early with empty roots. And some of them are too wet. And breathable water filtration is not good and rotten roots. If the orchid leaves are scorched, the old grass will die early. After several times of turning the basin, I always found that there were few Langen, either hollow or rotten, and there were fewer new roots. Therefore, every year to send a few seedlings, pour a few seedlings, always do not see more bluegrass, to dry flowers that is even more difficult.

Since 1998, I have subscribed to three magazines of Chinese Orchid, Orchid and Orchid Information. I mailed some orchid books. Like a treasure, I read it when I have time, draw it with a pen, draw a little bit, draw down the key points and circle them. He also put the book on the coffee table beside the bed and flipped through it a few times before going to bed. I have benefited a lot from it. Now I have about 200O pots of orchids. And a variety of varieties: Chunlan, Jianlan, Huilan, Mulan, Han Lan. There are famous products. There is also what people call grass orchid. Also spent 5O00 yuan to build an 8 square meter aluminum alloy greenhouse to solve the orchid winter problem. It was a lot of fun, and I was complacent. In February 2000, I planted orchids with red brick grains. 5 pots of Chunlan, 5 pots of Jian Lan (Longyan Su) (with purple sand high basin). Compared with the conventional planting method of 5 pots of spring orchid (with deep mud basin). A year later, the orchid planted with red brick grains has a seedling rate of 100%, 150% and a well-developed root system, without a single leaf, while bluegrass has bright color, beautiful flowers, long flowering period and pleasant fragrance. The conventional method of orchid leaves always has a part of the scorched head, the seedling is less, only about 60%, the seedling is weak, the root is poor, and the old grass falls early.

Red brick grain treatment method is as follows, red brick pieces are everywhere, after lifting with Lang head smashed as big as soybeans. You can also go to the brick factory to break the bricks (which must also be beaten to the size of soybeans), and then sift them with rice. It is divided into large, medium and small ones, and iron plates are used to grind the edges and corners on the hard cement ground respectively (the purpose is that the round head of the ground brick is not to damage the blue root). Put it in a small jar and soak it in Amoy rice for a month. It is better to take a long time (to anneal and increase the nutrients of bricks). When you want to use it, take it out and expose it to the sun for a day. One is sterilization, the other is convenient to use (of course, fairy soil and pond cornerstone, red brick grain and fairy soil half better, but the cost is too high). To grow orchids with brick grains, it is best to use purple sand high pots. Good humidity, and beautiful and generous. Of course, you can also use cheap plastic deep pots.

The method of putting on the basin is as follows: 1. Cover the bottom hole with double screen windows (to prevent ants); 2. Cover the bottom hole with metal mesh eyes in the water channel; 3. Put a 4cm piece of foam the size of a broad bean (warm and breathable); 4. cover the foam block with large particles of red brick 2 cm 5. Grasp the orchid head with the thumb and index finger in one hand, hold the little finger against the edge of the basin, put the root evenly with bamboo chopsticks, try not to touch the basin wall, slowly put the large red brick grain 4cm in one hand, put it evenly and shake it a few times, do not squeeze it with your hand to avoid hurting the Langen; 6. then slowly put the middle grain about 4 cm, while gently shaking to make it stick to the Langen. 7. Finally, all the false bulbs are buried artificially with small and medium-sized particles, and shake fully, flatten the surface into the shape of steamed bread with a little higher in the center. 1 cm away from the basin mouth; 8. Water thoroughly once and put it in a cool and ventilated place for a week (the leaves must be sprayed 3 times a day and watered thoroughly every other day); 9. You can move to the orchid room after a week, but the shade must be more than 70%, and it is better to accept morning light and astigmatism. At this time, each pot can put three grains of Zhixiang (orchid fertilizer, available for half a year, sold in the florist), into a triangle, 2 cm away from the false bulb (1 cm under the red brick grain). From now on, spray every day and boil water the next day. Less watering in spring and winter depends on the dryness and wetness of the basin (but you must keep the bricks wet). After one month, one week can be sprayed with potassium dichloride phosphate plus vinegar, every other week with orchid workers or promoting root growth, 3 times in a row, the effect is excellent. Note: the grass is large and uses large pots, while less grass uses small pots.

The red brick grain raises the orchid, can say is also the wet method raises the orchid. Because the plant material has the advantages of no water and air permeability: 1. It can restrain all kinds of bacteria; 2. It can reduce many kinds of fertilizer damage; 3. It can save the cost; 4. Keep the leaf grass unchanged, but with the traditional plant material, the nitrogen content is too high, so it is easy to walk and eventually degenerate; 5. It can maintain the character and stability of high-grade orchids, economical and practical; 6. Better for safflower, making the flowers redder and more beautiful. 7. The change of ecological environment leads to the degradation of characters, but the plant material of red brick remains unchanged, which means that one side of water and soil raises one person and grows one side of flowers; 8. In terms of water use, as long as the PH value is controlled at 5.5 and 6.5.

If orchid friends want to use red brick grains to grow orchids, you can try. Because this plant is free, it can be found everywhere. But it must be chosen according to everyone's economy and preferences. And I am a person who loves Lan like life, Lan can be said to be my life. I will try my best to raise her well. Believe that you will be rewarded for your painstaking efforts. However, I have shallow experience in raising orchids, and there are many mistakes and indiscretions. I also hope that the predecessors in the orchid world and orchid friends will correct them a lot. I would like to express my gratitude.
