What are the reasons for the rotten roots of orchids?

Orchid is a kind of traditional flower from China, which is called the "four gentlemen" with "plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum". Chinese orchids are simple and elegant, which is very consistent with the character of the Chinese people, so some people plant some orchids at home to express their noble character. But if it is a novice to breed, there will inevitably be some problems, such as rotten roots is one of the more troublesome, rotten roots will not only make the orchid growth malaise, serious words will also cause the orchid death. So what are the reasons for the rotten roots of orchids? Let's take a look next time.

1. Poor growth environment

1. Light

There are many kinds of orchids, only Chinese orchids include Chunlan, Huilan, Jianlan and so on. Different orchids have different needs for sunlight, but most of them have to keep light for more than 4 hours. Lack of light or dim light, the photosynthesis of the orchid plant is weak, and the basin soil is not easy to dry, and the water stays for a long time, affecting the root growth.

two。 Ventilation

Orchids pay attention to the need for ventilation just right, that is, ventilation can not be too good or bad, not ventilated, the maintenance environment is too stuffy, watering is not easy to dry, the respiration of the roots will be weakened, and the roots will be swollen when soaked in the water for a long time; if the ventilation is too large, the water in the flowerpot will soon be blown dry, if you do not replenish water in time, the water stored in the roots will be slowly exhausted and gradually dry.

3. Humidity

The air humidity requirements of orchids are the same as ventilation, and they also pay attention to a proper humidity range. The temperature and humidity of the roots need to be maintained at a relatively warm state. If the orchids are too dry or too wet, the orchids may rot.

Thus it can be seen that there are many reasons for the rotten roots of orchids. There are three factors in the growing environment alone that may lead to rotten roots of orchids. In fact, most of the rotten roots of orchids are caused by some farmers' lack of understanding of the growth habits of orchids. This is a common mistake that should not occur, because since you have chosen to plant orchids, you should first understand its growth habits. But there are still a lot of people who don't do this.

Second, watering

The watering of orchids should be based on the dry and wet conditions of the basin soil and the temperature changes in the four seasons, and different watering methods should be chosen to ensure that the basin soil is not too dry or too wet. In addition, when the temperature is too low or too high, stop watering in time to prevent orchids from rotting their roots because of frostbite or steaming.

III. Fertilization

Orchids are fleshy roots, in which a large amount of water is stored, and there is no way to absorb high concentrations of fertilizer, especially when there are wounds in the roots, the roots will suffer fertilizer damage, resulting in rotten roots. Therefore, when fertilizing, thin fertilizer should be applied diligently. In addition, when using fermented organic fertilizer or long-acting fertilizer, do not be too close to the root, so as not to rot the root.

Fourth, the impact of diseases and insect pests

Diseases and insect pests can also threaten the roots of orchids. Usually, when we face diseases and insect pests, we only consider prevention and control measures, and often do not check whether the roots are affected, but in fact, this is also necessary. If there is the phenomenon of rotten roots, it is necessary to remove the pot in time.

These are the reasons for the rotten roots of orchids sorted out by the pro-agricultural network. We can see that although orchids look relatively simple, there are still many key points for breeding, and a little carelessness will lead to rotten roots and other problems. this is also more in line with our Chinese appearance, but actually have a very high pursuit, meticulous attitude towards life.
