Why can't orchids be watered halfway? Do you know the dangers involved?

Most of the orchid lovers have read some books and found that the things in the books are more or less the same, and the authors of some books are not orchids at all, just copying things everywhere. For example, when orchids are watered, "if you don't dry, you will water thoroughly." But no one has ever explained to you what the concept of watering is and why it should be thoroughly watered. What will happen if it is not watered thoroughly?

It is better to believe in books than to have no books at all. You will understand and remember everything only if you know the real reason, otherwise you will always seem to understand it. Okay, the farmer will use the farmer's experience to analyze why orchids should be watered thoroughly.

Most orchid friends grow orchid pots are deep pots, orchid watering in fact, we have talked a lot before, when it is time to water orchids should also know, do not repeat. "Orchid most avoid half water" this is a sentence in the book, but beginners often do not know, half water is what the ghost? The so-called half-cut water means that each time the water is not watered thoroughly, only the upper half of the orchid basin is wet, and there are many disadvantages of half-cut water.

First of all, half of the water for a long time will make the water absorption of the orchid root uneven, resulting in a lack of water in the lower half of the orchid root, but this phenomenon can not be found in time, because there is no water shortage in the upper part, there will be no signs of water shortage in the leaves in a short period of time. By the time something was found to be wrong, the orchid had basically lost its vitality.

Second, we live in the air, plant materials, water, there are varying degrees of inorganic salts, as well as some harmful substances that are not good for plant growth, which is inevitable. If you pour half a section of water for a long time, it is equivalent to forming a saline-alkali land in a small environment. These inorganic salts and harmful substances are precipitated by water, but they can not be removed, so they can only accumulate in orchid pots.

So good photographers often say that no matter what kind of green plants we plant, we don't have to use books according to nature's laws of survival. Of course, it doesn't matter if you can really understand what the books mean.

This is the reason why orchids should be watered thoroughly. Watering not only solves the problem of consistent water demand up and down the orchid pot, but also flushes away the harmful substances that have been precipitated, especially after fertilization, it is necessary to water thoroughly and wash away unnecessary fertilizer residues.

By watering thoroughly, the farmer means that there must be a continuous flood from the outlet hole at the bottom of the orchid basin. Do orchids now know why orchids must be thoroughly watered?
