Wild orchids are different in summer and spring. If you don't know, it's hard to grow them.

Good photographer has made a video before, specifically talking about wild orchids on the pot to root, and also used the video to show you, the harder the new roots, the better. But everything has a premise, that is, the importance of the seasons. Yesterday, a netizen asked me whether the pot of Xiashan orchid that had just been transplanted should also be severely rooted. You can take a look at why wild orchids need to be rooted in pots.

Good photo farmers did not expect this season, there are Lanyou to dig wild orchids, so in the previous article and video did not mention this, is my mistake. If we have been to the mountains and looked for wild orchids, we must know that wild orchids have new buds and a lot of new roots (crystal heads) this season. The picture above shows the roots and buds of wild orchids in summer.

Generally speaking, the peak season of wild orchids is from December to April, when the roots of wild orchids are dormant. When potting, we can trim all the old, weak, rotten and empty roots without affecting its normal germination. On the contrary, after removing these bad roots, the new roots of orchids will be better and stronger. But now, if we do so, I think there will be several problems.

First of all, if you trim the roots hard now, you will not be able to provide water and nutrients to the orchid seedlings in a short period of time. The temperature in summer is too high, and the water needed for orchid leaf transpiration can not keep up, which will cause dehydration.

In addition, June is the hot and humid plum rain season, if the roots of orchid plants have too many wounds, they are more likely to be infected with fungi, bacteria and viruses in the basin soil, which is not conducive to the normal growth of orchid plants.

For Lan you, who asked a question yesterday, the good farmer replied in this way. This season had better not transplant wild orchids, if there is no good environment and experience, it is difficult to feed. If you are ready to pot, try not to trim the root, unless it is a real rotten root that needs to be trimmed. Do not prune the roots that are likely to transport nutrients and water. And after putting on the basin, we must keep it in the shade for more than ten days, and then manage normally after the orchid seedlings initially adapt.
