Whether watering orchids in spring or summer, you should pay attention to these times.

Raising orchids, we all know such a sentence: "raising orchids a little, watering ten years of work", this watering problem has always been the top priority of raising orchids. However, there are still many people who cannot master the watering problem of orchids. In fact, orchid watering, regardless of spring and summer pay attention to "these few times".

1. Pay attention to the water temperature

Orchids, winter do not use cold water irrigation, water temperature and room temperature close. Summer do not use hot water irrigation, such as water tower storage, hot weather, must prevent high water temperature damage orchid plants, orchid roots, also can not suddenly use cold water irrigation, so as not to hurt orchid plants.

2. Pay attention to humidity

Air humidity is too large, close to saturation, do not water, spray, humidity in the daytime to about 60%, humidity should not be too large, otherwise it will weaken the role of roots to absorb water, one will affect the number of roots, and the other will make the orchid root gradually lose the water storage tower to reduce the water temperature motive force.

3. Pay attention not to pour half water

Some flower friends mistakenly think orchids can not be watered more, so dare not water, often pour half water, pot material long-term wet under dry, resulting in dry roots due to lack of water. Orchids watering principle is "irrigation is irrigation through", that is, water not only from the bottom hole flow out, but also to soak all the plants in the basin. Often watering, although there is water flowing out from the bottom hole, still can not reach the "through" standard.

In order to make the pot plant material wet, can be divided into several watering or use the dipping pot method watering. For dry granular plant materials, non-dip pot can not be poured thoroughly, but the dip pot method should not be used continuously, must be separated from a certain time, so that orchids have "breathing" time. In addition, in order to make orchid watering easy, flower friends in the selection of plant materials planting, it is best to use orchids dedicated substrate, conducive to water permeability.

4, pay attention to less pouring static water

Water tower storage, standing time is too long, water molecules form chains, the longer the time is difficult to disassemble, difficult to participate in metabolic activities, adverse orchid absorption. Water tanks and other containers with water storage, can be raised in the tank a few goldfish, so that water can be stirred.

5. Pay attention to pouring "soul water"

In the evening, flower friends use orchids special organic liquid fertilizer, diluted 500 times after fertilization, orchid plants through a night of absorption, can effectively absorb most of the nutrients, at this time again poured "soul water", conducive to orchid absorption, but also can prevent the occurrence of fertilizer damage.

6. Pay attention to watering, not too frequently

Orchid tolerance to drought is very large, is relatively drought-tolerant plants, slightly dry little effect. On the contrary, wet can not do, ponding 24 hours will cause suffocation. In daily cultivation, the vast majority of flower friends love orchids too much, watering too often, causing root rot, resulting in plant death.

7. Be careful not to spray water arbitrarily

Spray water is necessary, in addition to supplementing water, but also can keep the orchid leaves fresh, conducive to orchid leaf respiration and photosynthesis, but also can not spray water at will: strong sunlight can not spray; high temperature weather can not spray; no wind difficult to dry less spray; impurity water can not spray; rainy days can not spray; foggy days can not spray; continuous rain humidity is too large can not spray and so on.

In particular, it has been found that orchids have diseases, especially foliar diseases, it is forbidden to spray water, otherwise it will cause the spread of germs and outbreak of orchids. It is best not to spray river water with impurities, not to use alkaline groundwater, and to store tap water for 1 to 2 days.
