The way to make orchids blossom as soon as possible

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

According to the knowledge and practical experience we have gained, there are many factors that affect the flowering of orchids. The first is sunshine. Strong grass can only be cultivated in sufficient light, and strong grass is the basis for orchid flowering. Although orchids like the sun, all kinds of orchids have different requirements for sunlight. The order that needs the most light is Cymbidium, Quaternary Studies, and Chunlan; the order that can not directly bask in the sun for a long time in summer is Tiger Orchid, Orchid, Winter Orchid, followed by Chunlan, four Seasons and Chardonnay. The experiment of planting mountain grass with granular material, peat soil, soilless cultivation fine family and mixed family respectively in the open air showed that all the four pots of summer orchid survived. A pot of orchid planted with soilless materials blossomed in mid-September. Now, it is not uncommon for Xia Lan to blossom on National Day. An orchid friend raised Chunlan, Xialan and Qiulan on the roof platform, allowing them to be exposed to the wind and rain in the sun. Of course, the bluegrass raised in this way will not be very beautiful, but the flowers will bloom more than usual. This should show that a good orchid should be properly shaded, emphasizing that the purpose of regulating the sun is to grow strong grass and bloom more. Should be treated differently according to different varieties, when to shade, how much time shading, can not be generalized.

"dry orchid and wet chrysanthemum" is always the truth.

How do we deal with the orchid issue? In order to make orchids not only grow grass, but also blossom, proper water is required during the maintenance period of orchid grass. Sometimes, some potted plants grow well and can grow in place on time, but do not blossom. In order to make the orchid blossom in time, it is necessary to supply water in time during the period of sprouting and growing grass, so as not to make the potted grass grow insufficient and underdeveloped due to lack of water.

When it comes to the flower bud incubation period (for example, when the spring orchid has four or five leaves in the next year, and there are five or six mu of grass in the basin, by late August, the new grass will basically grow up), it should be forced to withhold water two or three times. Under the condition of not being burned by the sun, do not water for two or three days until the basin level is below 20%, then supply water to the basin, so that the bluegrass absorbs enough water, and then deduct the water once or twice. In this way, buds will be sent out in September under the condition that there is no shortage of fertilizer and flowering elements. This method is applicable to Xialan, Donglan and Orchid. Pay attention to the humidity of the environment in a windy day.

Many orchid friends report that the grass grows very vigorously, especially the autumn orchid is often full of grass skills, and does not blossom for two or three years, especially lobular iron bone is more difficult to blossom, and even raises many mu of grass, which is free from diseases and insect pests, but there are no flowers. This problem is in the use of fertilizer, we grow orchids, most orchids use fertilizer, but lack of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and trace elements, most of them use bean cake water and fish scraps, and in recent years most of them use "Austrian green manure". These fertilizers are mainly composed of nitrogen, only a small part of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, the grass is very exuberant, the hair rate is as high as 100%, and even many single "double dragons", a piece of green.

To use a term, leather only focuses on vegetative growth rather than reproductive growth-the more prosperous the grass grows, the less it blossoms and develops "mute grass" all the year round. In this case, to stop the regular supply of fertilizer, re-apply defatted bone powder, can take a long time, apply once every half a month, sprinkle on the basin, mix the topsoil slightly, and the fertilizer can seep into the soil with spraying water. It is very important to apply leaf fertilizer to increase the application of trace elements such as magnesium, selenium and boric acid, especially boric acid. Trace elements are dissolved by alcohol and then mixed with water a thousand times, once a week, with an interval of 5-7 days, and withholding water once for up to 3 months to half a year.

We often find colored flowers in orchids down the mountain, but when cultivated in pots, we find that the flowers will fade, purple flowers are not purple, safflower flowers are not red, yellow flowers are not yellow, etc., in addition to adding targeted chemicals such as clear lime water, sulfur water, nitric acid, calcium superphosphate and alum water according to different colors of flowers, some people introduce the use of rare earth elements as fertilizer or Maifan stone mixed medium to cultivate colored flowers. Colored flowers and leaf art will be brighter and brighter. Those who quit the art may resume their art, so you might as well give it a try.

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