Summer orchids are watered in this way.

Summer is the peak period of orchid growth, once the lack of water, the orchid growth is poor, but if it is wet for a long time, it is easy to cause disease, so watering must be timely and timely. The quality of watering has a direct impact on the growth of orchids. Today, share a method with you, master, you can "water a little through".

Many flower friends who raise orchids know that watering orchids should be carried out according to the plant material, but the plant material is installed in the basin, which can not be seen and touched, and the dry humidity is more difficult to grasp. Some flower friends also use intubation, label insertion, pot method and so on, but these methods are too tedious and inconvenient to operate, and it is even more difficult to master the number of pots.

So, is there a simple and easy way? The answer is: yes, this method is "sample basin observation". What is the "sample basin observation method", that is, in the orchid garden, with the same orchid pot and the same plant material, 1 or 2 pots of ordinary orchids of basically the same size are planted as the "sample pot", and the topsoil of the "sample basin" can be removed during normal observation to make an auxiliary judgment.

Flower friends, when the pot soil is slightly moist to "one minute dry" (that is, 10 places below the basin have turned dry equivalent to 1-1.5 cm in the shallow basin and 1.5-2 cm in the deep basin), it is most suitable for orchid growth. It can be watered when it reaches "dichotomy dry" in spring (that is, the dry color has changed from 2 to 10 under the basin, which is equivalent to 2-2.5 cm in the shallow basin and 3-3.5 cm in the deep basin).

In addition, to fertilize orchids, if in summer, flower friends are recommended to use organic liquid fertilizer for orchids, diluting 500 times to water the roots of orchids, watering combined with fertilization, the effect is the best, and the amount of liquid fertilizer is the same as that of watering.

In summer, due to crossing the mildew and rainy season, and when the spring orchid "buckle water" to promote flowers, flower friends can let the potted soil dry a little bit, and it is appropriate to water the potted soil when it turns dry at 10 places under the basin, which is equivalent to 3-3.5 cm in the shallow basin and 4.55 cm in the deep basin.

Under normal circumstances, should not exceed the "4 minutes dry" (that is, the basin below the basin 4 percentile 10 dry, equivalent to shallow basin 4-4.5 cm, deep basin 5.5-6.5 cm dry) when watering. If the root system of the orchid plant is short and the orchid root does not reach the waist of the basin, it should be watered earlier; if the root system is strong and long enough to reach the waist of the basin, it can be slightly dried and then watered.

Watering interval time because the size of the orchid basin is different from the plant material, the environment and season are different, it can not be mechanically set by the interval time of others' watering. As long as it is flexibly mastered according to the "sample basin observation method" introduced above, and some records are made according to different seasons and temperatures, a set of watering methods suitable for raising orchids can be summed up, and orchids will not be afraid to grow well.
