If you plant mountain orchids, if you know these, there will be no more empty roots and rotting roots. take a look.

Why do orchids have empty roots and rotten roots? People who raise orchids all know that the roots of orchids are the most prone to problems, but do you know what causes them? What are the characteristics of the fleshy roots of orchids? This article will talk about the root of orchids, so that farmers and friends can discuss what causes the above root damage.

First of all, we know that orchids are fleshy roots, maybe this is not clear, radish everyone knows, right? Radish is the fleshy root. Fleshy roots contain a lot of water. This is a natural reserve of plants, which automatically drinks water from fleshy roots when the soil is dry, which is equivalent to a natural reservoir. There is a nutrient transport line in the center of the fleshy root, through which the plant gets nutrients from the soil.

Understand the principle of fleshy root, now look at the empty root of orchid what is going on? When raising wild orchids, the good farmer found that if we watered less and the water could not reach the transpiration of the leaves, then the plant would automatically ask for water from the fleshy root. Over time, the fleshy root will lose too much water and slowly dry up, thus forming an empty root.

Where's the rotten root? The good farmer thinks that most of the rotten roots have too much water, and the fleshy roots cannot absorb them, causing a large amount of water to accumulate in the basin soil, so that the basin soil cannot be ventilated. Orchid is aerial root, root growth needs air, in such an airtight environment, orchid root equivalent to can not breathe, the formation of rotten root is also inevitable.

As a result, the good farmer believes that the empty roots of orchids are mostly caused by lack of water and drought, while rotten roots are caused by too much water and too much water in the basin soil.

Of course, things are not absolute. The cause of the empty root is relatively simple, and the rotten root caused by large water is only one of the reasons, for example, fertilizer damage and mispreparation of plant materials are also the causes of rotten root. Orchid friends should slowly explore in the process of raising orchids and master the method that is most suitable for them.
