In summer, orchids are raised after watering. This level of flowering does not need to be managed.

It is hot and dry in summer. This is the season of the most frequently watered orchids of the year, and it is also the season with the highest technical requirements for watering. In summer, under the condition of raising orchids on the family balcony, it is watered almost every day. How to pass the "pass" of watering orchids? According to the specific conditions of each flower friend's orchid, the corresponding watering method should be adopted.

1. Time of watering

In summer, the temperature is high during the day, the water evaporation is large, and the water loss in the basin soil is faster, so the watering time is usually carried out before and after sunrise every morning. Watering in the morning can also meet the water demand of orchid photosynthesis during the day. If the water evaporation in the orchid basin is too large during the day, in order to prevent the dehydration of the orchid root, you can water it again at sunset, but you must pay attention to the temperature difference between the water and the basin soil.

If the plant material in the basin is still wet, it can not be watered in the evening. After sunset and at night, water mist can be sprayed around the orchid leaf and orchid basin to cool down and increase the air humidity. Water orchids in summer, most avoid watering when the temperature is high at noon, because high temperature and humidity are most likely to cause orchid diseases and insect pests and burn orchid leaves.

If the noon temperature is too high, some flower friends sprinkle water on the ground in the orchid shed, and keep blowing with an electric fan (do not blow a strong wind to the orchid plant), so that the orchid indoor air circulation, to achieve a better cooling effect. And the balcony raises the orchid, especially the open balcony raises the orchid to avoid the summer noon watering most.

2. The amount of watering

Watering orchids usually requires wetting. However, the orchid has a great demand for water in summer, and the evaporation of water is also very large, so it can be watered more and must be watered thoroughly, and it should also be watered around the orchid basin to increase the air humidity around it. After sunrise, a large amount of water will carry away a lot of heat because of transpiration, which can effectively reduce the temperature, prevent the temperature from rising too fast, and shorten the temporary dormancy time of orchids due to high temperature, which can effectively improve the growth rate of orchids.

In addition, when watering orchids, we can appropriately add some organic nutrient solution for orchids to 500 times the water. when water is used to irrigate the roots of orchids, it can not only replenish the water of orchids, but also increase the nutrients of orchids. Promote orchid growth exuberant.

3. Watering according to plant material

The size of the orchid basin is different, the plant material prepared by each person is also different, and its water storage capacity and air permeability are different. Therefore, the methods of watering are different. Usually, water is thoroughly watered once every morning and cultivated with soft plant soil. In the evening, you can dig out the soil on the basin surface with your fingers about the depth of two index fingers, and if you find that the basin soil is dry, you can water it again; if you find that the basin soil is moist at this time, you do not need to water it again, you can water it again the next morning.

On the other hand, when planting orchids with soilless cultivation, the granular plant material has strong air permeability and will not be watered too much. In the case of large water evaporation, it is generally necessary to water again in the evening. Watering in the evening can cool down and replenish water.

4. Watering according to the size of the orchid basin

If the size of orchid basin is different, its water storage capacity and moisturizing capacity are also different. Usually, large pots of orchids can be watered thoroughly every morning, while Xiaolan pots have limited water storage, and after a day of evaporation, the orchid basins basically begin to lack water in the evening, so they should be watered again in the evening.

4. Watering according to the weather

In summer, it is generally necessary to water more on sunny days, but not too much on cloudy days. The timing and amount of watering can be determined according to the specific conditions in the orchid basin. In the case of small water evaporation in cloudy days, proper water control can make orchids accumulate nutrients, facilitate the differentiation of autumn buds, and prevent the occurrence of diseases and insect pests.
