Why do wild orchids dug up in the mountains are easy to feed but difficult to blossom?

The wild orchids dug up in the mountains are also known as downhill orchids. Desmodium is a very collectible orchid. But the method of planting orchids is more exquisite. If the breeding method is wrong, of course, it will not bloom. Here is how to raise the orchids.

The cultivation of orchids should first consider its growth habits in the wild. Orchids originally grew in the ventilated, humid and shaded environment of alpine forests. Therefore, the planting place of orchids should be selected in the ventilated zone, placed in the southeast direction, and the shade degree should be generally controlled at more than 80%, so as to cultivate orchids with higher quality.

Here are a few conservation points:

1. Fertilizer and water management

Because the mountain orchid is dug down from the mountain, the root system will be damaged and needs time to recover, so the newly planted mountain orchid does not need fertilization. When the roots grow better in April to June, you can gradually start to give fertilizer, but it must be thin fertilizer. If the root system is still relatively poor, it will be fertilized after a year. During the root recovery period, a little thin leaf fertilizer can be sprayed, and the roots can be irrigated after the roots are perfect. The general advice is to apply root manure a year later.

2. Pay attention to insect control drugs.

Orchid grass down the mountain often has pests, the most common is scale insects, so carefully clean and disinfect before planting. When the number of insects is large, it can be treated with drugs. Less available garlic mashed juice add rice vinegar, wipe with a cloth after wiping orchid leaves.

3. The light should be appropriate.

Although orchids are shade-loving flowers, it does not mean that they do not need light, but avoid direct light and long-term light. Therefore, the stronger bluegrass can be properly given scattered light 15 days after planting, while the weaker one has to be about a month later. It is best to plant in a south-facing place and in a semi-shaded environment.

4. Ventilation

This is also a relatively important point. Orchid grass grows in the mountains can always breathe fresh air, so down hill orchid farming also needs ventilation. However, strong winds should be avoided to prevent water loss from the blades.
