The perishable roots of orchids? Inhale, add and move to solve the problem easily.

Because of the unique temperament of orchids, many flower friends are very favored and like to keep them at home. However, orchids are more difficult to raise, especially orchids are very easy to rot roots, I believe that orchids flower friends have a deep understanding of it. What about the rotten roots of orchids? this has to be analyzed from the root of orchids. Think about it. In fact, the causes of rotten roots of orchids are nothing but three aspects.

First of all, because the orchid is a fleshy root system, this texture is naturally relatively rotten; secondly, because the orchid plant material may not be very hydrophobic and breathable, and the orchid root system is stuffed in the soil for a long time, it is relatively easy to rot; and then because the orchid is suitable in a cool place, after watering, the water is relatively slow, soaking in water, which can easily lead to rotting roots. If we can start from these three aspects, I believe that the orchid root problem will no longer be a problem, let's analyze it.

The straw is inserted into the soil, and the root of Langen is breathable and less rotten.

It was mentioned earlier that Langen is a fleshy root system and is inherently perishable. Meat quality cannot be changed, so if we want to change this state, we can start from the external environment. External environment, plant material is one aspect, in addition, we can artificially increase the air permeability of plant material.

How to do it is very simple, according to the height of the flowerpot, find a few straws of suitable length, poke a few small holes at the lower end of the straw, sharpen and insert into the flowerpot, a flowerpot can insert several. Depth, it is better to have shallow and deep, so that it is more comprehensive. With a straw, so that the air inside and outside the flowerpot has circulation, increase air permeability, Langen breathing will be more smooth, it will not be so easy to rot.

Add materials, breathable and hydrophobic is not a thing

Langen depends on the plant material, so the choice of plant material is very important. In order to keep the roots of orchids from rotting, increasing hydrophobicity and permeability has become the top priority in the preparation of plant materials. So what should we do? In fact, it would be nice to add some "seasoning". When preparing plant materials, pay attention to adding rotten peanut shells, coconut shells, cinders, red brick grains and other hard materials to soft materials such as rotten leaf soil, garden soil, pond mud, and so on.

Otherwise, the plant material is too single, not breathable enough, hydrophobicity is not good, and it is also easy to lead to basin soil consolidation. Adding some hydrophobic materials can alleviate this dilemma. Moreover, many hard materials also have certain nutrients, which can also increase the fertility of the soil. Add rotten leaf soil, garden soil and other mud is also fertile, if the later add a variety of organic fertilizer rich in a variety of organic matter, to the orchid supplement a variety of nutrients, a three-pronged approach, will certainly make the orchid grow very exuberant.

Move the flowerpot with good ventilation and drain quickly

Because orchids prefer a shady environment, many people put it in places that are not very ventilated and have no light at all. in fact, this is very bad for orchids, especially when watering, the ventilation is too poor, there is no certain light, and it takes too long to drain water, which can easily lead to rotting roots. It is true that orchids like shade, but they also like a ventilated environment and need a little sunshine. So we can move the orchid basin to a place with better ventilation, preferably with a little astigmatism. In this way, the flowerpot will drain faster and prevent the root from rotting.

Presumably everyone knows how to prevent Langen from rotting. If there are flower friends who don't know much about it, you can leave a message.
