Orchids die as soon as they are watered? What on earth is the reason? I never thought it was like this.

As a kind of plant, orchids definitely need water in their growth. Although the principle of keeping orchids is "dry rather than wet", it is definitely not good if they are not watered (without rain). When the good farmer was communicating with Lan you these days, several orchid friends reflected the same question: why do orchids die or wither as soon as they are watered?

These orchid friends are not in the same city, so the farmer can rule out the possibility of bad water for the time being. According to them, it takes less than three days after each watering, the seedlings will certainly wither and then spread slowly until the whole seedlings die. The planting methods and environment of several orchid friends are also different, so the good farmers will sum up the possible problems when communicating with them and discuss them with netizens.

The so-called death as soon as it is watered means that the growth of orchid seedlings is quite normal before watering. Of course, these orchid friends are beginners who just learned to grow orchids this year. One of them uses porcelain pots. This kind of white porcelain pots are often seen in florists. They are really beautiful, but they are really not suitable for growing orchids. The porcelain basin is too fine, the discharge hole at the bottom of the small porcelain basin is not large, and there is no side waist hole. It is very easy to accumulate water, and it is not conducive to the ventilation in the basin and the respiration of the roots.

The second orchid friend is more impatient, he must be fattened every time he is watered. Novice orchid farmers often do this in order to quickly make their orchid seedlings thrive. But fertilization regardless of season is not good for orchids. We all know that summer watering is a little more frequent than in other seasons. But under the high temperature in summer, the orchid seedlings are dormant and absorb little fertilizer, and most of the fertilizers are accumulated in the basin soil, resulting in fertilizer damage to the roots.

The third Lan you has a big heart. when he communicated with the good farmer, he said that every time he was watered, he was afraid of releasing water to the inner balcony, so he moved to the flower rack on the outer balcony. Waiyangtai (south) has no shading facilities, and he chooses to water it around 10:00 in the morning, so the orchids that have been watered are always in the sun, usually draining in the afternoon before moving in. Good farmers have done experiments, the temperature in the wet plant pot under direct sunlight at noon can reach more than 40 degrees, this temperature is enough to cover the rotten orchid root, if the seedlings do not die is a miracle.

The problem of watering orchids is not the problem of water or orchid, but the problem of method, time, utensils and so on. The good farmer thinks that watering orchids is not very difficult, as long as he can avoid some common sense mistakes.

Welcome to share your valuable experience. If you like orchids, pay attention to the farmers, and often use the camera to take you up the mountain to watch the wild orchids.
