Key points for winter conservation of Phalaenopsis

Because Phalaenopsis is native to the tropics of Asia, it needs to be maintained in winter. in winter in northern China, Phalaenopsis needs to be cultivated in high temperature greenhouse. The editor will introduce to you what problems you need to pay attention to in winter cultivation of Phalaenopsis.

Phalaenopsis

1. Temperature: the suitable temperature for the growth of spider orchid is Baiyao 25-30 degrees, more than 32 degrees, which is disadvantageous to growth and flower bud differentiation, 18-20 degrees at night, not less than 15 degrees. If the temperature is kept high all the time, it is beneficial to its flowering.

2. Humidity: Phalaenopsis likes high air humidity and should be kept at 70%-80% during growth. Therefore, water should often be sprayed into the surrounding space to increase humidity, but the moisture content of the matrix should not be too large, otherwise it is easy to rot the root. The dry substrate is conducive to the growth of new roots.

3. Lighting: open the sunshade net in time according to the weather conditions every day to promote the photosynthesis of Phalaenopsis. When the temperature is high or the humidity is too high, open the skylight to make it ventilated.

3. Fertilization: Phalaenopsis fertilization adheres to the principle of "applying thin fertilizer frequently". 1500 times compound fertilizer and 5000 times boric acid can be sprayed, and then 1500 times compound fertilizer can be applied every other week. In addition, Phalaenopsis is a fleshy root, in order to make its root system thick, the application of potash fertilizer is more important.

Key points of Family Care of Phalaenopsis

Key point of Phalaenopsis maintenance: reasonable temperature

Phalaenopsis likes warm and wet, so we must pay attention to ensure the temperature when we raise Phalaenopsis at home. Generally speaking, the lowest temperature in the growth period of Phalaenopsis should be kept above 15 ℃, the suitable temperature should be 18-28 ℃, and the best temperature during flowering should be 23-25 ℃. Special attention should be paid to summer and winter. In summer, in order to avoid excessive temperature and hurt flowers, more attention should be paid to ventilation and cooling. The low temperature in winter may cause Phalaenopsis roots to stop absorbing water and stop growing, resulting in busy plants, so attention should be paid to heat preservation in winter.

Key points of Phalaenopsis maintenance: suitable sunshine

Phalaenopsis should be kept by the bedside with sufficient light and smooth ventilation, and it is easy to affect plant growth and be infected with insect pests in dark places, but at the same time, we should also pay attention to the burns of light on leaves under high temperature and humidity in summer. it is necessary to do a good job of ventilation and sunshade.

Three key points for Phalaenopsis maintenance: reasonable humidity

Insufficient humidity in the air will cause the leaves of Phalaenopsis to wrinkle, so Phalaenopsis is suitable for growing in an environment with an air humidity of 50%, 80%. During flower cultivation, a water basin can be placed next to the flowerpot to increase the humidity.

Four key points for Phalaenopsis conservation: reasonable fertilization

Phalaenopsis should be fertilized all year round. In spring and summer, it is recommended to apply fertilizer every other week, and in autumn and winter, phosphate fertilizer should be applied every half a month. At the end of each fertilization, wash flowerpots and plants with water.

Several key points of Phalaenopsis Conservation

Phalaenopsis is a tropical epiphytic orchid, known as the "orchid queen". Racemes with many flowers, flowers in the shape of butterflies, colorful flowers and rich colors, long flowering period, is one of the most widely cultivated and popular species of Orchidaceae, and is loved by people all over the world. As a very important indoor flower, it is often found in the home and office, and it is also often used as the bride's hand bouquet in some areas.

Phalaenopsis is usually propagated by tissue culture and split-plant method, but it is deeply regretted by many flower friends when there are no tillering buds and can not reproduce under family conditions. Here, I would like to recommend a technique for reproduction using butterfly orchid peduncles.

Cut off the remnant flowers and pedicels on the pedicels after flowering, and pay attention to retaining the ungerminated node buds (about 3-4 nodes); carefully remove the bracts on the uppermost 1-2 nodes, exposing the node buds, and be careful not to hurt the buds; apply a small amount of buds (plant hormones) evenly on the node buds; put the treated orchids in a suitable place, keeping the temperature at 25: 30 ℃ and humidity above 75%. After 2 or 3 months, 1 or 2 new flower seedlings can grow; when the new seedlings grow to a certain size, a small amount of water moss is wrapped in a small amount of film at the base, and when the seedlings grow 2-3 thick roots, they can be cut off and planted separately.

When family conservation of Phalaenopsis, we should pay attention to the following points:

(1) temperature: Phalaenopsis is native to the tropics and likes the environment of high temperature and humidity. During the growth period, the lowest temperature should be kept above 15 ℃, and the suitable temperature for growth should be 20-30%. Its growth will be inhibited when it is more than 35 ℃ in summer or less than 10 ℃ in winter. The blooming period is around the Spring Festival, proper cooling can prolong the viewing time, but not less than 13 ℃.

(2) moisture: Phalaenopsis is mostly planted on tree trunks in the country of origin, and its roots are exposed to the air. It can absorb water from the moist air, and the air humidity should be kept at 70%. When artificial cultivation, the root is buried in the cultivation substrate, such as too much watering, the ventilation of the substrate will become worse, the fleshy root will rot, the leaves will turn yellow, fall off, and lead to death in serious cases. The principle of watering: see dry and wet, water thoroughly. When the indoor air is dry, you can use a sprayer or can to spray to the leaves, but it should be noted that the water mist should not be sprayed on the flowers during the flowering period to avoid falling flowers and buds.

(3) Illumination: Phalaenopsis does not need much light, which is about the same as that of ordinary orchids. If you put it on the indoor windowsill, cover part of the sun with a window screen, 80% in summer, 60% in autumn, and 40% in winter. Before and after the flowering period, proper light can promote Phalaenopsis to bloom and make the flowers gorgeous and lasting.

(4) Nutrition: water grass and moss are generally used as the substrate for the cultivation of Phalaenopsis. The principle of fertilization should be less fertilization and light fertilizer. In the normal growth period, 2000 times of orchid special fertilizer was applied to the root, once every 2-3 weeks according to the growth condition. The compound flower fertilizer 1000-2000 times of water-soluble high phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be selected before flowering and sprayed once every 10 days. Stop applying fertilizer at flowering stage and in the season with lower temperature.

(5) changing pots: it takes about 2 years from seedling to flowering. Adult Phalaenopsis should change pots and plant materials after flowering every spring, otherwise it is easy to accumulate dirt and moss, plant materials are also easy to rot, breeding diseases and insect pests. For potted Phalaenopsis, it is appropriate to use porous and breathable plain burning pots. When planting, the planting material on the basin floor should account for at least 1x2 of the basin capacity, and part of the roots should be exposed on the basin surface. Do not bury them completely and deeply, otherwise they will hinder breathing and growth.
