Key points of maintenance and management of orchids in summer

Carry forward the national orchid culture and spread the knowledge of orchids

Now it can be said that it has entered the summer, and there are many key points about orchid maintenance and management on the Internet. This article is a summary of orchid cultivation experience in summer, including ventilation, sunshade, watering and so on. It is a very good reference for novice florists.

Orchids spend the summer very testing the orchid-raising skills of orchids, because in a summer of high temperature and humidity, a poorly managed orchid grass is easy to cause diseases, and if it is lighter, the orchid grass does not grow well, and if it is heavier, it will cause seedlings to fall. Therefore, in summer orchid cultivation, I think we should pay attention to the following points:

1, strengthen ventilation: in hot summer, only strengthen ventilation to reduce the temperature of the orchid room environment. Of course, with air-conditioning equipment, you can use air-conditioning to cool down, but ventilation is still indispensable, otherwise, long-term closed space, but the bluegrass is prone to disease. And, after the bluegrass is watered, strengthen the ventilation, will blow-dry the leaf water as soon as possible, especially the central leaf water of the new bud, and avoid the occurrence of soft rot as far as possible. I have always believed that what many orchid elders said that ventilation is the first priority, it is not random nonsense, it is a famous saying accumulated by them for a long time.

2. properly block the sun: in fact, many orchid friends in the orchid-producing area can find it. In summer, if there is a place where bluegrass grows, the top of the bluegrass is already covered with leaves, people go in, extremely cool, it can be seen that the leaves not only block the sun, but also absorb a lot of heat. Therefore, as we orchid farmers, it is necessary to simulate the natural shading of bluegrass. Because now we use the sunshade net is black, although it can block the sun, but because it is black, more heat absorption, in the sunlight, near the sunshade net, the temperature is higher. Therefore, individuals in the summer to bluegrass sunshade, use several layers of sunshade net, and a certain distance. In order to achieve the purpose of shading and cooling.

3. Idea and careful watering: when it comes to watering bluegrass, the individual is based on the principle that it is necessary to water bluegrass thoroughly. And after watering, strengthen ventilation to dry the central leaves of the new grass as soon as possible. When watering, try to avoid the temperature getting higher. It is usually better to have no sun in the morning or after ten o'clock in the evening.

4, careful application of fertilizer to avoid turning the basin: fertilizing and turning the basin in summer, I think it is a taboo to raise orchids. Langen is in a semi-dormant state because of the high temperature in summer. If fertilized, Langen will not be absorbed and converted into nutrients. It is easy to cause fertilizer damage and burn roots, therefore, fertilization is counterproductive at this time, as for turning the basin, so after turning the pot of bluegrass, the previous small environment has been destroyed, and it takes half to a month or even longer for Langen to adapt to the new environment, that is, it takes half to a month or even long. prone to stiff buds and falling seedlings.

5. Observe more and pay attention frequently: as soon as you find the signs of the disease, you should deal with it immediately, so that you can reduce the loss to the lowest degree.

Orchids, you are a good teacher on the way to raise orchids.
