Is it always a bad time to water a gentleman's orchid? Come and take a look at the detailed strategy of watering magnolia.

Cymbidium is a typical greenhouse flower, and one of the most perplexing problems for many flower lovers in raising orchids is the problem of watering. A flower friend asked, how often do you water the cultivated magnolia? How much water do you water at a time? Why do the magnolia I breed always have rotten roots?

In fact, the watering of magnolia can not be specified by the specific number of days and times. Because the seasons are different, the culture environment, the surrounding temperature and humidity, the use of pots and other conditions are different, if you mechanically set a specific time for it to water, it will only cause too much watering root rot or excessive lack of water root dry.

Experienced flower friends all know that the fleshy root system of Cymbidium has a certain water storage capacity and has high requirements for soil and water. Ordinary nutritious soil and watering methods are far from meeting its needs. It likes the coarse plant material with better water permeability and lighter texture, and does not like flood. It is recommended to use rotten leaf soil or pine needle soil to add the right amount of peanut shell, coarse sand and fried pockmarked seeds. The bottom of the basin can be covered with some small pieces of charcoal, which is not only permeable but also conducive to root sterilization. Many flower friends of the gentleman orchid can not raise well, not long, most of the reasons are unreasonable soil ratio and watering too often.

In addition to the soil, the pots are different, and the watering time of Magnolia is also different. Tile pots, pottery pots and other flowerpots with good air permeability, the water evaporates quickly and the soil dries quickly. The permeability of plastic or porcelain pots is poor, so water evaporation is relatively slow. Different seasons, watering time is also different, the summer temperature is high, evaporation is large, watering should be a little more frequent, while the winter temperature is low, evaporation is relatively small, so the watering interval is longer. In dry weather, the air humidity is small, the basin soil dries quickly; in overcast and rainy weather, the air humidity is high, and the basin soil dries slowly.

The water demand of Magnolia is also different with different culture environment. The magnolia of some flower friends is close to the window, the air is well ventilated, the soil dries quickly, and the watering is relatively frequent. And some flower friends like to put the gentleman orchid in the middle of the living room far away from the window, the ventilation effect is not good, the soil is dry slowly, watering will be relatively slow. Therefore, there is no rigid rule to water the magnolia. Because most of the cultivation of magnolia uses coarse plant materials, and the soil on the surface is easy to dry, many flower friends think that magnolia is short of water, so they quickly water it, but they do not realize that if they are watered one more time, there is the possibility of rotting roots.

If you find that the surface of the basin soil is dry, you can pick it by hand and test the position a few centimeters under the basin soil, and you can obviously feel the moisture, which means that the gentleman orchid is not short of water. Can also weigh the basin, estimate the weight, obviously feel that the weight is light, indicating that it can be watered. Experienced flower friends will also insert a chopstick into the basin soil before watering. If the lower part of the chopsticks is wet, it shows that the gentleman orchid is not short of water.

In short, the cultivation of gentleman orchid, watering must be good, regardless of the number of days and times, watering slowly along the basin wall, do not flood irrigation, especially in the flowering period. Do not spray to the leaf core to prevent the leaf core from rotting due to poor ventilation. Usually keep the basin soil slightly wet, do not dry, do not water, your gentleman orchid will certainly be able to raise well.
