Can Cymbidium cubs be hydroponically cultured? what are the points for attention?

Cymbidium is a common potted plant in the family, and its oil-green appearance and clean form make many friends appreciate it. Most of the commonly used cultivation methods are soil cultivation, which can be divided into three ways: cutting, ramet and sowing, so can Cymbidium be cultivated by hydroponics? There is no doubt that it can, so here's how to use hydroponics to plant orchids, and what you need to pay attention to.

1. Hydroponics of Cymbidium

Hydroponic hanging orchids first need to choose a suitable container, it is best to use transparent glass bottles for cultivation, on the one hand, it can make potted plants more simple and clear, on the other hand, you can observe clearly what the growth state of plants is like. More conducive to normal maintenance. The size of the container is determined according to the size you want to cultivate, usually choose a medium-sized glass container, too small is not suitable for plant growth, and too large is not conducive to the movement of potted plants, and so on.

Secondly, it is necessary to prepare the well-growing twigs of Cymbidium and thoroughly wash the part of its root system so that there is no soil left on the root. Then cut off the old roots and yellowed leaves on the branches, and when inserting the plant into the container, you can add a small amount of clean stone to add beauty, and after inserting the plant into the water, it can be properly fixed at the mouth of the bottle to avoid shifting the direction of plant growth.

Matters needing attention in the maintenance of hanging orchids

1. Light

Sufficient light of the hanging orchid is essential in the growth, the sun in spring and autumn is relatively mild, so the potted plant can be placed in the full sunshine environment to grow, while the sun in summer is more violent, so it should be placed in the backlight to receive appropriate amount of astigmatism. If the plant grows in too strong light for a long time, it will cause the leaves of the plant to turn yellow and the color to become dim, which will greatly affect the normal growth of the plant.

two。 Water exchange and watering

Hydroponic magnolia has relatively high requirements for water quality. if the water quality is too poor, it will cause plants to be infected with certain bacteria, causing some common diseases, and it is best to use disinfected tap water instead of directly using tap water. As the orchid grows better in a humid environment, it is not advisable to add too little water to the container, and the water level line should be at 2/3 of the height of the whole container. Generally speaking, it is appropriate to change the water once a week, or twice a week if the temperature is relatively hot.

3. Nutrients

Although the orchid is more fond of fertilizer, it can not apply nutrients to the container frequently. In fact, the microorganisms and minerals in the water have provided certain nutrients for the orchid, so when adding the nutrient solution, it can be less appropriately, and the time of each addition should be after the change of water, otherwise it will cause a waste of the nutrient solution to a certain extent. At the same time, a single chemical fertilizer can not be used, mainly nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer during the seedling period.

4. Other matters

The growth rate of the orchid is also relatively fast, so you may be able to see the growth of the orchid in a few weeks, so you can consider pruning the orchid properly. The withered and yellow branches and overlong branches should be cut off and more nutrients should be given to the new leaves to ensure their growth. In addition, the disease resistance of the orchid is good, so you don't have to worry about being plagued by too many diseases and insects, just put the potted plants in a ventilated and cool environment.
