The method of watering magnolia

In fact, watering flowers is also a technical job, do not underestimate yo, most flower friends to their love flowers are casually watered, have not considered whether their own watering method is correct, such watering can have an effect, today for the gentleman orchid editor to introduce how to water the gentleman orchid and how to water the gentleman orchid!

one。 What kind of water is good for gentleman orchids?

There are many kinds of water, and the water we usually use to water flowers must be irrigated according to the characteristics of the corresponding flowers.

1. Hard water

Hard water refers to water with more salts. Watering Cymbidium with hard water containing a large amount of calcium and magnesium mineral salts for a long time will make the basin soil of Magnolia become alkalized and harden, resulting in brown spots in the leaves of Cymbidium plants, affecting the ornamental effect, or toxic symptoms such as dry tip, chlorosis, yellowing and shedding of leaves, seriously affecting the growth and flowering of plants, so hard water is not suitable for watering Cymbidium.

two。 Soft water

Rain Water and snow water are better in soft water. Rain Water is a kind of near neutral water, which does not contain minerals and has more air (the suitable pH value of Cymbidium is 6.0 to 7.0). Therefore, it is very suitable to water Cymbidium with Rain Water. If Rain Water can be used for a long time to water Magnolia, it will help to promote the assimilation of Cymbidium, prolong the cultivation life and improve the ornamental value. Therefore, you should try to store more Rain Water for use during the rainy season, or snow water, but be careful not to water the snow until it is melted to room temperature.

3. River water, pond water

Because the water in the pond mainly comes from Rain Water, it is soft water. On rainy days, the parabolic running water is concentrated in the pond, so the pond water contains more nutrients. If you can water the magnolia with pond water for a long time, without fertilizer, the orchid will grow strong, bright leaves and bright flowers. Although the river water can also be used for watering, the source of the river water is wide, and from time to time it is mainly Rain Water, so the river water is not as good as the pond water.

4. Tap water

The tap water used in our daily life has been processed by a series of treatments in the waterworks. Due to the disinfection and precipitation treatment, the tap water has low hardness and contains less impurities. Although it contains a small amount of volatile chloral chemicals, it still has high safety and reliability for Cymbidium. It would be better if it could be left open for a few days after the chlorine in the water was volatilized.

5. Ground water

For example, the water in the well or underground mineral water all belong to groundwater, generally with high hardness, high salinity, containing a variety of impurities, and sometimes more chlorine, which should not be directly used to water the magnolia. However, such as pre-storage and exposure, so that mineral precipitation, chlorine volatilization, can also be used to water the magnolia.

6. Magnetic water

Recently, it is said that the effect of using magnetic water to irrigate magnolia is very good, and the water temperature is close to the soil temperature, and it is more suitable for about 20 ℃ in the spring and autumn rainy season. Pouring Magnolia with magnetic water can promote the metabolism of the plant, make the orchid grow vigorously, produce green leaves and flowers, and have the effect of preventing leaf spot.

7. Domestic waste water

In daily life, all kinds of water we have used, such as dishwashing water, foot washing water, rice washing water and so on, belong to domestic waste water. many people think that the ingredients contained in these water are good for watering magnolia, but actually the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. in particular, the water irrigated by planting flowers on the balcony is better than clean. it is best not to irrigate with waste water, not to mention bad for gentleman orchids. People can't stand the smell, right? In particular, the dishwashing water containing soap, washing powder and oil is even more unusable, which is toxic.

two。 How to water the magnolia

Flowers like orchids like moist soil very much, so we have to keep the soil moist. However, if you water too much, the air in the soil will be squeezed out by water, and the root of Magnolia can not breathe, resulting in hypoxia for a long time will lead to rotting roots, if too little watering, the basin soil is too dry, which will directly affect the metabolic activity of the plant. If the lack of water exceeds a certain limit, the plant will wither and die. So at this point, you can't water too much or less, so what should we do? Please read on.

1. The combination of transparent and impermeable

Don't water it every time, and don't keep it dry all the time. Only replenish the surface water when there is a shortage of water on the surface, and pour water through it when the water content of the bottom layer is insufficient.

two。 Combination of dry and wet

The soil should always be in a dry-semi-dry and semi-wet state (pay attention to that the soil water content should not be less than 30% when dry), which is beneficial to the survival of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms in the basin soil and to the growth of Magnolia.

3. Combination of water and fertilizer

Add a little liquid fertilizer every time you water, which not only helps to improve the water quality, but also is very beneficial to the growth of Magnolia.

4. When transplanting in the family, the surface layer of potted soil is often easier than that in greenhouse and cellar. For example, when using flood irrigation, it is often because the amount of water is too large and too urgent, either irrigating it unevenly or impermeable. The applicable method is that when the plant does not need to be watered, a spray can with pressure can be used to wet and spray through the surface of the basin soil. When you need to pour water thoroughly, you can use a special sprinkler (there are many small holes in the spout) to sprinkle water evenly to every part of the basin soil, so as to achieve the best effect of watering.

5. The combination of top and bottom

When the orchid needs to be watered thoroughly, the flowerpot can be placed in a large basin with a certain amount of water, so that the water in the basin can slowly seep into the basin soil through the hole at the bottom of the basin. If you want to speed up the watering, you can use small utensils to irrigate the water in the basin from above. After pouring thoroughly, drain the water from the basin. Families with a small number of planting magnolia can use this method.

three。 What problems should be paid attention to in watering the magnolia?

What other problems do we need to pay attention to besides the choice of water and how to irrigate it? In fact, there are some other factors that we need to pay attention to. Let's take a look.

1. The temperature is too high or too low to water

The temperature is high in summer, especially at 2-3 o'clock, when watering will make the temperature of the basin soil drop sharply, resulting in a decrease in the water absorption capacity of the root system, resulting in the abnormal supply of water in the body needed for leaf cooling, resulting in "physiological drought" in the plant, and wilting occurs in serious cases. The winter temperature is relatively low, especially when the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, the water absorption of the plant is obviously weakened and is basically in a semi-dormant state. If a large amount of water is watered in this way, the plant will not only be unable to absorb, but also make the basin soil too wet for a long time, resulting in rotten roots. Therefore, watering should generally be done before 9: 00 a.m. or after 5: 00 p.m. In summer and above 10 ℃ in winter. Less watering should be done when it is less than 10 ℃.

two。 The water temperature should be similar to that of the soil.

The difference between water temperature and soil temperature should not be too large. Especially in winter, in order to avoid "catching cold" caused by too large temperature difference, tap water or well water should never be used directly to water flowers. The cold water can be stored indoors for 1-2 days to precipitate or evaporate the harmful substances in the water on the one hand and leave enough time for the cold water to heat up on the other hand.

3. To deal with the water quality well

Most of the tap water is in the city, but it is mostly well water in the countryside. Urban tap water is often disinfected and contains chlorine, which is harmful to the plants of Cymbidium. Groundwater such as well water is hard and contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Long-term use will make the soil alkali and solidify. Therefore, the water must be stored for 1-2 days, commonly known as "trapped water", and if necessary, a small amount of acidic substances such as ferrous sulfate and oxalic acid should be added to neutralize the water quality.

4. Fixed watering cycle is not advisable

Watering the orchid should be determined according to various factors such as season, climatic conditions, different growth periods, plant health, soil structure, basin quality and size.

The above is about the gentleman orchid how to water and the method of watering, generally speaking, different flowers should be watered according to its characteristics with the correct square, so that their love flowers can thrive, do not be afraid of trouble, do not underestimate the small action of watering flowers, it actually contains a lot of detailed knowledge and knowledge, if you want to know more related knowledge, please pay more attention to this site!
