How to raise orchids to blossom

Ball orchid, also known as Ma Xie Jie, dog tongue vine, iron foot, is a kind of climbing shrub, which grows on trees or stones. it is mainly distributed in Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Taiwan in the south of China, and also in tropical or subtropical areas. Ball orchid flowers are very small, but the flowers will be clustered together into a ball, very beautiful, so it is loved by many people. But people who have really planted ball orchids know that it is not that easy to blossom. Today, the pro-agriculture network will bring you the relevant answer on how to raise orchids to blossom.

If you want to raise the ball orchid blossom, the daily maintenance work is indispensable. When it comes to daily maintenance, it is inevitable to talk about light, water, temperature, environment and other factors. Here, pro-agricultural network also takes these points as a starting point to introduce the daily maintenance of ball orchid.

I. Lighting

Ball orchid can blossom only with sufficient light, and it should be cultivated on the outdoor south windowsill or near the indoor south window in spring and autumn, which can keep the leaves green and bright and bloom well. In summer, you need to move to the shade to prevent the strong light from shining directly, otherwise the leaf color will easily turn yellow. If you put it in the lack of light for a long time, the color of the leaves will become lighter, and the flowers will be less and less colorful.

Second, watering

Ball orchid like wet, watering should see dry wet, do not water too much, otherwise it is easy to rot roots. Summer watering should be adequate, and attention should be paid to spraying water to the leaves to increase air humidity; reduce the amount of water in autumn and winter to make it grow healthily and promote its flowering.

Third, temperature

Just as the fruit is sweeter because of the large temperature difference between day and night, orchids need to be born in the zone with large temperature difference between day and night. If the bulb orchid grows in an environment with obvious temperature difference between day and night, and enough nutrients are stored in the body, the flowers will bloom more and more. On the other hand, if there is no temperature difference in the placement environment, it will affect flowering.

IV. Environment

Ball orchid like quiet do not like to move, afraid of people harassing its roots, because the young roots are very sensitive, will affect the absorptive capacity. If it is disturbed before or after flower bud differentiation, the bud that has been formed may cause buds to disappear, which can easily lead to no flowers. So it's best to plan a place with scattered light and ventilation from the beginning and don't move it easily.

5. Pruning

Here, the pro-agricultural network will also introduce you to pruning, but don't underestimate pruning, thinking that pruning is meant to make full use of plant nutrients, branches and leaves are too dense, and too many nutrients are consumed. Flower buds cannot differentiate due to lack of nutrients. Part of the branches should be thinned properly, or the leaves that are too dense should be removed to improve the ventilation and light transmission conditions, so that the plant growth is more robust and more conducive to flowering.

The above is the pro-agricultural network for you to introduce the ball orchid flowering breeding requirements, ball orchid always do not bloom how to do? Then you should read this article carefully to find the reason why the orchid did not bloom, and then adjust it. The pro-agriculture network also reminds everyone that it is best to let the orchid wither naturally after flowering, and do not easily cut off the stem of the flower, which is easy to affect the flowering in the coming year.
