What about the rotten roots of Phalaenopsis?

Phalaenopsis is a kind of Orchidaceae, but it does not belong to "Chinese Orchid", but a variety of Orchidaceae born in tropical rain forest. Phalaenopsis blossoms very beautiful, known as the "queen of orchids", so it is also loved by flower fans. It is a pity that such a beautiful flower is destroyed because of its rotten roots, but the rotten roots are a problem often encountered by many novice flower fans. If they are not handled properly, they can only be thrown away, but in fact, there is also a way to cure the rotten roots. Below, the pro-farm network will introduce to you how to remedy Phalaenopsis.

First, the reasons for the rotting roots of Phalaenopsis

There are many reasons for the rotten roots of Phalaenopsis, but most of them are caused by inadequate care of the breeders.

1. First of all, it is caused by poor ventilation and over-watering of the culture soil. if the soil with poor ventilation and poor drainage is used for farming, once the amount of water is too much, it is easy to form stagnant water, so the root is equivalent to directly soaking in the water. causing the roots to droop and rot.

two。 The second is the influence of temperature. Phalaenopsis originally grows in the tropical rain forest and is not resistant to cold. The most suitable growth temperature is between 15 ℃ and 20 ℃. The winter overwintering temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃. If the temperature is too low and no warm measures are taken, the roots of Phalaenopsis will not grow smoothly, which will lead to rotting roots.

3. The last point is inevitable, that is, it is eroded by germs. Phalaenopsis growing in the tropical rain forest prefers the environment of high temperature and humidity, but if the temperature and humidity of the environment is very high, it is easy to breed germs, coupled with the application of fertilizers. It also provides a very good growth environment for germs, and rotting roots will occur when attacked by germs.

Second, how to remedy the rotten roots of Phalaenopsis

1. First, the potted soil should be dug out of the flowerpot and scattered, the roots of the plant should be washed with clean water, then all the rotten roots should be cut off, and the intact parts should be preserved as much as possible, and the residual roots may also be saved.

two。 Soak the cut and the remaining roots in 2% potassium permanganate solution for about 10 minutes before drying, and then carefully smear it with plant ash at the cut to re-pot the plant.

3. The basin soil must be disinfected. The simple way is to pour the basin soil thoroughly with boiling water and use it again after it is cooled. When putting on the basin, pat the rhizome, pour the water thoroughly and place it in the shade, cover it with a film and cultivate it at a temperature of about 20 ℃. After about 20 days, new roots can grow.

Third, how to prevent the root rot of butterfly orchid

Knowing the causes and remedies of Phalaenopsis rotting roots, is there any way to prevent Phalaenopsis rotting roots? The following pro-agricultural network to introduce to you the methods of prevention.

1. Strict selection and cultivation of soil

First of all, when selecting the cultivation soil, we should be strict and make sure that the soil planted with Phalaenopsis is loose and breathable. Here, the pro-agriculture network recommends peat mixed with perlite or peat mixed with pine needles. Of course, we can also freely choose to match, but to ensure strong air permeability, normal watering will not have stagnant water.

two。 Rational watering

After choosing a good soil, we should reasonably control the method of watering. Excessive watering is the main reason for the rotten roots of Phalaenopsis, and it is also the primary reason for the rotten roots of most plants, so reasonable watering must be learned. Pro-agricultural network watering here we use the "see dry see wet" watering method, do not accumulate water.

The above is the introduction of the causes and treatment methods of the rotten roots of Phalaenopsis brought by the pro-agricultural network. I hope it can be helpful to you. Pro-agricultural network here also prepared for you a lot of introduction about the culture methods of Phalaenopsis, you can refer to, with the correct culture methods, I believe that diseases will not occur easily.
