It's not complicated to raise orchids. It's easy to understand, with one exception.

As the saying goes, raise orchids a little, watering for three years. That is to say, raising orchids is not complicated, and it is easy to understand that there is only one "exception", that is, watering according to the needs of orchids, which is not an easy task. Flower friends need to grope for a long time before they can be handy. Today, let's talk about the watering of orchids.

Before, it was said that the watering of orchids should vary according to season, temperature, humidity, light, plant materials, pots and many other factors. Today, we are going to talk about watering according to the varieties of orchids.

The natural ecological small environmental conditions of different kinds of wild orchids are different, thus forming different growth habits of all kinds of orchids. These different growth habits lead to different water requirements of different kinds of orchids. Therefore, watering also depends on the variety of orchids.

1. Cymbidium

Wild Cymbidium grows mostly in shady places at the foot of the mountain, with warmer temperature, abundant rainfall and moist soil. Therefore, the watering of orchids should be relatively frequent, and at the same time, the foliage should be sprayed frequently to improve the air humidity for the growth of Limeria.

2. Cymbidium

Wild cymbidium grows mostly under the sparse forest on the top of the mountain, with sufficient light, good ventilation, fast soil drainage and fast drying. Compared with other orchid species, Cymbidium is more resistant to drought and will not dry up and die in the short term, even in the event of drought. According to the habits of Cymbidium, the plant materials used in the cultivation of Cymbidium should be selected with fast hydrophobic substrate, and there is no need to water too frequently.

3. Cymbidium

Wild Cymbidium grows mostly in foggy places facing south, or forests along slopes, or sparse forests at the top of the mountain. Jianlan prefers warm, humid and semi-shady environment, rough and easy to raise, both dry and slightly resistant to moisture, and has strong adaptability. Its dry and wet resistance is between Cymbidium and Cymbidium, and its demand for water is more than that of Cymbidium but less than that of Cymbidium.

In addition, all kinds of orchids, in order to maintain exuberant growth when watering, flower friends can combine watering to fertilize the orchids. It is recommended that flower friends use orchid-specific organic liquid fertilizer, according to the ratio of fertilizer to water is 1: 500, if you need to spray leaves, according to 1: 1: 1000, once every 10-15 days.

4. Cymbidium

Wild Cymbidium grows mostly in the shade of the hillside. Like Yin dampness, avoid dryness, not heat-resistant. The water demand of Cymbidium is slightly more than that of Huilan.

5. Cold orchids

Wild Cymbidium grows mostly on the hillside of broad-leaved forest or mixed forest with high altitude, heavy fog, good shade and steep slope. In case of rain, most of Rain Water is lost down the slope, and part of the water seeps into the soil layer, making the soil moist without stagnant water. Cold orchid basin soil must avoid stagnant water, too wet is extremely easy to rot roots, basin soil is better to be dry, its demand for water is slightly more than that of Cymbidium, but the air humidity should be higher.

Watering of national orchids should vary according to different types of orchids. However, even if they belong to the same type of orchids, their water requirements will be different due to different varieties. To sum up, flower friends can water orchids according to this rule:

Orchid species with thicker roots, such as the original varieties of Jian orchid, Phnom Penh, silver needle, etc., because of their plump and thick roots, they store relatively much water and do not need to be watered too frequently. For orchid species with thick cuticular layer and good gloss, such as iron bone, watering should also be controlled because of small water evaporation.

In short, watering orchids is a highly technical work, and there are many factors to consider, but as long as you make some hard work, you will be able to grasp the "exception" of watering.
