In the hot summer, it is also a difficult season for Oncidium. How should flower friends make Oncidium spend the summer safely?

Oncidium

1. Habits: like humid and semi-shady environment, in addition to watering to increase substrate humidity, leaf surface and ground water spraying is more important, increasing air humidity is more beneficial to the growth of leaves and flower stems.

2. The main points of summer maintenance: pay attention to shading in summer and cool down in time when the temperature is too high. In midsummer and autumn, water should be thoroughly watered once a day, that is, until the basin bottom hole comes out of the water. It is better to apply compound chemical fertilizer, thin fertilizer, avoid thick fertilizer, and fertilize in the early morning or after 3 pm. July and August is the flowering period of the plant, which is prone to bacterial soft rot due to high temperature and high humidity, which can lead to plant death in serious cases. For this reason, the plants in the basin can be dried in a sunny day, and the bacteria are not easy to reproduce under dry conditions. At the same time, the rotten leaves and stems will be cut off in time. Before entering the season of high temperature and high humidity, fertilization should be strengthened, especially to increase the proportion of potash fertilizer and cultivate strong seedlings so as to enhance the disease resistance of plants.

Oncidium, a potted ornamental flower, is a key point for the summer conservation of Oncidium, a simple and elegant name, also known as dancing orchid, dancing orchid, golden butterfly orchid, tumor orchid, etc., the plant looks light and slow, the flower stem is light and drooping, the flower is strange and lovely, similar to the flying golden butterfly, very dynamic, it is one of the most important potted and cut flowers in the world. It is suitable for vase placement in family rooms and offices, and is also a high-grade flower material for processing bouquets and small flower baskets.

Many flower friends report that it is not easy to raise and difficult to restore flowers. In fact, as long as you master the habits of Oncidium, Oncidium is still easy to raise. Oncidium is native to the tropical rain forest, with various colors and long flowering period. From the first flower to the last flower, it lasts for more than two months. The flower shape is beautiful, like a little girl dancing, so it is called "dancing orchid". This article focuses on introducing the key points of the conservation of Oncidium. For your reference and study. Cultivation points of Oncidium: 1. The cultivation materials are made of tree ferns and oil-free hardwood in hot and humid places, while in dry places, water moss fern roots and moss can be planted in porous pots. 2. Oncidium, like most foreign orchids, likes higher air humidity, but its resistance to drought is also different because different species of Oncidium have different plant types. Varieties without pseudobulbs have poor drought resistance, so it is necessary to keep the matrix in the basin moist and replenish water as soon as the matrix is dry. Reducing moisture in winter is beneficial to flowering, and watering should be stopped when the temperature is below 10 ℃. In the hot summer, water should be sprayed on the ground, platforms, roads and plants around the plant to increase air humidity, otherwise it will affect its growth. 3. Daily management Oncidium's requirements for the environment are generally not too strict, but the winter temperature should not be lower than 15 ℃, and the air humidity is about 80% in the four seasons. Spring, summer and autumn need a semi-overcast environment. Sufficient sunshine can be given in winter, but do not expose it to the hot summer sun. 4. Oncidium is often propagated by separate plants. Generally, do not water immediately after dividing plants, spray some water on the leaf surface when it is slightly dry, and then water it when new roots grow, and then spray some average fertilizer, but the concentration is not too high, generally 0.6% to 0.8%. In the maintenance process, do not pour too much water, so it is easy to rot the root, we should pay attention to ventilation and light transmission. If there are diseased plants, they should be destroyed in time and sprayed with some fungicides. The temperature and humidity during flowering are not easy to be too high or too low, which will affect the life span of flowers, shorten the flowering period, and even appear the phenomenon of bud drop or early wilting. Conclusion: the above is the introduction of the key points of Oncidium maintenance. I hope it will be helpful to the flower friends who plant Oncidium.
