Orchid watering seize the opportunity to blossom to seize the first opportunity

It is said that it is easy to raise orchids and water them for ten years. The watering of orchids has always been a problem pursued and perplexed by orchid farmers. In fact, orchid watering, very often, the timing is very important, that is, how to water the orchid, which determines the quality of orchid flowering.

So, how to control the time of watering orchids? Generally speaking, it is better to water orchids in the morning. Generally speaking, when orchids are cultivated outdoors in late spring and summer and autumn, it is appropriate to water them in the morning.

Because the orchid has been cooled overnight, the plant temperature in the basin is lower in the morning, and watering will not hurt the seedlings at this time. In addition, watering thoroughly in the morning and turning moist in the evening, there is no stagnant water in the empty basin at night, and the air in the basin is ventilated, which is conducive to the breathing and circulation of orchid root and the growth of orchids.

If the flower friends water the orchid in the evening, the water evaporates slowly at night, which is easy to cause stagnant water, and when the transpiration is faster during the day, the basin has turned moist, which will cause "stagnant water in the basin when it needs to dry, and lack of water in the basin when it needs to be moistened".

In addition, flower friends should pay attention to the fact that the orchid pot temperature is still high in the summer evening, and the sudden cooling with cold water will affect the water absorption of the orchid root system and interfere with the physiological balance of the orchid. And the night temperature is low, the cell activity of the orchid strain is weak, too much water will cause bacteria to multiply, but also breed snails and slugs.

In addition, the air humidity is high at night, and the water is difficult to volatilize. If you pour water into the heart of the leaf in the evening, it is easy to lead to rotten heart. At the same time, the leaf surface is wet, and it is also easy to breed germs. In addition, in winter and early spring, when orchids are cultivated indoors, the watering time is appropriately delayed, and it is better to water orchids around 9 o'clock or noon after the temperature rises in the morning.

In short, the overall principle for flower friends to water orchids is: it is better to water orchids in the morning, earlier when the temperature is high, and later when the temperature is low. Of course, if the pot soil is too dry, it is OK to water the orchid in the evening in order to relieve the drought earlier, just be careful not to pour water into the heart of the leaf.

Of course, in addition to seizing the opportunity to water orchids, there are also a few problems to pay attention to:

First, pay attention to the temperature of the water. Do not use cold water in winter. The water temperature should be close to room temperature. Do not use hot water irrigation in summer, such as using water towers to store water, in hot weather, it is necessary to prevent excessive water temperature from harming orchid plants and orchid roots; do not suddenly irrigate orchid plants with cold water so as not to hurt orchid plants.

Second, we should pay attention to pouring "reviving water". In the evening, flower friends use organic liquid fertilizer specially used for orchids to dilute 500 times. after fertilizing orchids, orchids can effectively absorb most of the nutrients through absorption in one night. At this time, they can "return soul water". It has two functions: one is to wash off the liquid splashed on the leaves; the other is to wash off the residual fertilizer in the basin to prevent fertilizer damage.

Third, we should pay attention to protecting the new buds. During the new bud forking period, it is appropriate to implement root watering, and sprinkle and spray water as little as possible, otherwise the water will cause stagnant water rot and cause loss after pouring into the leaf heart.
