What if the gentleman's orchid grows askew? A brief discussion on the causes of the crooked growth of Magnolia and the skills of hydroponics

I think many people know it, and most people have planted it. Recently, the editor has received messages from many flower friends who raise orchids, asking them how to adjust when they grow askew. Below, the editor will analyze with you the reasons for this situation and the methods of adjustment.

The freshness of orchids is very suitable for us to grow in our living room. As long as we plant orchids in the right way, this is the most beautiful choice. No flower is more beautiful than decorating a corner of the home. But we always encounter some problems when planting, and these problems will seriously affect the beauty of orchids. Therefore, in the process of planting, we must avoid these problems and ensure the beauty of the plant.

Of course, we almost always encounter a problem in planting. How to adjust if the gentleman orchid grows askew? And hydroponic skills! This also very affects the beauty, we do not put the gentleman orchid straight, it will seriously affect the aesthetic feeling, so that not only can not play the effect of beautification, but also will bring negative impact, you will not be in a good mood because of its skew, such consequences outweigh the gain, so we must have a way to solve this problem to ensure the beauty of plants.

If we want to solve the old problem of crooked leaves, we must first understand the problem and prescribe the right medicine to the case. only in this way can we really solve this problem. the following editor will analyze what causes the leaves to grow crooked.

The reason for the crooked growth

Many plants have a certain phototropism, of course, magnolia is no exception, the direction of sunlight determines the growth direction of magnolia, this is the reason why it is crooked, many people think that this natural factor is very difficult to change, but we have learned some rotation methods to solve this problem, let's take a look at how to adjust this crooked problem!

Solution.

1. Artificial adjustment

When our plants keep growing to one side, we will know that there is a strong light over there, and this is that we have to set a certain date, and then rotate 180 degrees regularly, waiting for a certain amount of time, waiting for the leaves to grow back, and rotate repeatedly until the plant remains upright.

two。 Mechanical adjustment

This method is actually the easiest way to hold the plant with a clip to keep it upright.

3. Scientific adjustment

This is that we must have a certain knowledge reserve before we can use this method. We need to understand the principle of bending to light, then find the strong light point, use some opaque tin foil to block the sun, and when the plant grows back to upright, we can remove the tin foil. This method must understand the growth characteristics of the plant before it can be used, not casually, otherwise the plant will not be upright.

The skill of hydroponics

Water cultivation Junzi orchid is the basic water culture work, do a good job of changing water regularly. As long as we ensure that the water is not in direct sunlight and avoid water pollution, we can cultivate a good gentleman orchid in water.

Gentleman orchids can be cultivated in water or soil, but in the editor's opinion, water culture is easier than soil cultivation. The above are detailed cultivation methods, so please collect them quickly.

A brief discussion on the treatment of the roots of hydroponic plants and the depth of water entry-- experience sharing for flower lovers who have just come into contact with hydroponic plants, they may not know the depth of water entry into the roots and how to deal with the roots. I hope it will give you some inspiration. First, the depth of water entry into the roots of hydroponic plants many materials introduce that the roots of hydroponic plants enter half of the water or 2 beat 3, which is a good method, but it also depends on the species of plants and different periods of treatment. At the initial stage of hydroponic culture, most Araceae plants can put all the roots in the soil into water, which can effectively reduce wilting and ensure that the new aerial roots can absorb water and grow rapidly, and these new roots are the most beautiful in the hydroponic environment. For rich trees, banyan trees and other plants to enter the water much shallower depth, as long as let the roots slightly wet on the line, can be in the container with pebbles and other support, so that the root of 1 stroke 3 soaked in the water. There are many plants, such as ivy, plantain, aloe and magnolia, which are not suitable for soaking all their roots in water, and soaking some of them in water, as long as all the roots can be kept wet. Second, root treatment problems for evergreen roots that are relatively fragile and unbifurcated, we should carefully ensure the integrity of the roots when washing the roots, so that the roots that have been broken can be cut off from the base, so that the roots do not rot easily. If the main root and fibrous root like the little angel tortoise back are more obvious, you can cut off more small roots, cut the overlong thick roots shorter, and leave fewer roots, so that the new roots will grow much faster. There is a kind of plants such as Chlorophyllum and Euphorbia have thick fleshy roots, these fleshy roots rot easily in water, and some fine roots grow after complete hydroponic culture. All these fleshy roots should be cut off at the beginning, leaving only some small unswollen roots, and the remaining few roots are all soaked in water, although there are few roots, but new roots will grow quickly. What is more special is Dishui Guanyin, whose original roots rot easily after hydroponic culture and can be cut off completely. Or do not do any treatment, the roots do not cut off the leaves of larger plants are not easy to wilt, but often change water and trim the roots until the new roots completely replace the old ones. The fleshy stem of Dishui Guanyin can easily root and soak it to the position where you need it. Its fleshy stem will rot, and in this case, it must be removed in time. In addition to cutting it off, another way is to break off the decayed part by hand and use some force to break the yellowing part all the way to a naturally formed separation layer. In this way, it will not rot again after treatment. In short, it is advantageous for some plants to soak all their roots in water at the initial stage of hydroponic culture, and it is also convenient to manage when the new roots have grown up and can appropriately lower the water level and let part of the roots show. Summary: the above is the introduction of the relevant knowledge about hydroponic flowers. I hope you can exchange more experience in hydroponics. A brief discussion on the classification and application of peat peat is also called peat and peat. It is due to the fact that all kinds of plant residues are not fully decomposed under the conditions of too much water, poor ventilation and low temperature, and form a kind of layered organic matter which is not easy to decompose and very stable after long-term accumulation. 1. According to the conditions of peat formation, plant community characteristics and nutrients, peat can be divided into three types: 1. High peat: formed in a relatively high terrain, red or brown, formed by water moss, green moss and other plants, the growth age is relatively short, less ash content, poor decay, high acidity. two。 Low peat: formed in relatively low-lying areas, black or dark gray, formed by a variety of liverwort, Reed, Equisetum and other plants, with more ash content, less water-holding capacity, lower acidity and higher degree of decomposition. 3. Transitional peat: also known as median peat, is a type between the above two types of peat. 2. Application of peat Peat has been widely used in various fields because of its unique and superior physical, chemical and biological properties, as well as low price. The countries in the world that develop and apply peat relatively early and fully include Canada, the United States, Japan and some other European countries. In these countries, peat is widely used in agriculture, horticulture, construction, industry, medicine and other fields. Now, although the application of peat in China is only in its infancy, people have gradually realized that peat has irreplaceable and unique properties of other materials, such as light weight, water retention, air permeability and rich in organic matter. At present, peat has been widely used in urban greening construction, flower nutrition soil in flower beds, sports grounds or golf courses, potted flowers, soil improvement, desert greening, soilless cultivation, industrial production of lawn rolls, cultivation of edible fungi, peat-based compound fertilizers, construction of roof gardens and other fields. 1. Peat used in urban greening construction can maintain urban ecological balance, improve urban environment and beautify the city. At present, China's urban construction has higher and higher requirements for environmental protection and greening, such as roads, overpasses, main parks, residential areas, unit courtyards, urban forests, rivers and so on. As the soil quality is different in different cities and different areas, the survival rate and growth rate of greening plants are also different, so this provides a broad space for the utilization of peat. The use of peat can solve many problems in urban greening. Peat can not only make green plants grow well and easy to maintain, but also reduce the cost of daily management. 2. For flower nursery, peat is used as the main raw material to produce all kinds of nutrient soil and flower soil with the corresponding proportion of rotten leaf soil, pine needle and perlite, which can make sufficient fertility and long effect. The use of peat as nutrient soil not only reduces the production of diseases and insect pests and odors, but also enhances the disease resistance and stress resistance of plants, and promotes plant growth. Nowadays, many flower beds and horticultural companies have widely used peat as the medium to raise seedlings, so that high-quality flower seedlings can be cultivated. In particular, some high-grade flower seeds or especially small flower seeds are planted with peat to improve the seed germination survival rate, seedling quality and uniformity. In addition, all kinds of nutrient soil and flower soil with peat as the main raw material are also favored by family flower growers. In flower breeding, the most commonly used peat matrix formula is: 1 peat 3 peat, 1 peat 3 perlite, 1 peat 3 horticultural vermiculite (calculated by volume), with appropriate amount of trace elements added. 3. Whether it is ornamental lawn, sports lawn or golf course lawn used in playground and golf course, because of its high requirements for soil water holding capacity, aeration and soil nutrients, the soil must be treated specially before establishment. Therefore, peat can be used as the most important planting material in the upper layer of lawn. The study shows that whether peat is used as the planting material or not has a very obvious difference on the growth and reducing the maintenance pressure of turfgrass in the future. Therefore, peat is an indispensable planting material in the lawn construction of sports grounds and golf courses, especially in the greens of golf courses. 4. Peat used for potted flowers has become the most important cultivation medium in greenhouse potted high-grade flower production and family flower cultivation. At present, peat has been widely used as the cultivation substrate in the production of common grass flowers in developed countries. This is because in addition to the peat has the advantages of high water holding capacity, good ventilation and rich in organic matter, its small bulk density is also a very important factor. Peat can make the potted flower beautiful in color, beautiful in shape and prolong the florescence. In addition, potted flowers should not only be moved frequently, but also be transported over a long distance, which is easy to carry after peat cultivation. Using 35% to 70% peat mixed with appropriate amount of vermiculite, perlite or ceramsite and other materials can become an ideal substrate for potted flower cultivation. Orchids, orchids, rhododendrons, gardenias and other flowers can be cultivated directly with 100% peat. But most of the potted flower substrates should be prepared in proportion. When peat is used in potted flowers, two preparation schemes are recommended: (1) 1 peat + 1 peat 4 horticultural vermiculite + 1 peat 4 perlite (by volume, the same below), mainly for potted flowers and ornamental plants with high water holding capacity, and (2) 1 peat 3 peat + 1 peat 3 perlite + 1 peat 3 broken bark (or pine needle leaves), mainly used for drought-tolerant and low water-holding potted flowers and ornamental plants. 5. for soil improvement, whether it is used for planting flowers or other crops, if there are bad physical structures such as hardening and hardening, as long as an appropriate amount of peat is added according to the specific situation, the soil water holding capacity and fertilizer retention capacity can be improved or restored, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing yield and increasing economic benefits. At the same time, the application of peat can improve soil pH, increase the content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, increase the total amount of organic carbon and humic acid, activate soil fertility and improve soil fertility. 6. Peat for desert greening has four obvious effects on desert greening: first, peat can increase the water content of sandy land in desert area and ensure the normal growth of desert plants. Second, peat can change soil properties and create favorable conditions for plant absorption of nutrients and growth and development. Third, peat can promote plant growth and increase crop yield. Fourth, peat can improve the survival rate of desert plants and promote the growth of desert plants. 7. When used for soilless cultivation of all kinds of flowers, peat can be used as a soilless cultivation method between soil cultivation and hydroponics. It is easier to accept and popularize than hydroponics. First of all, this is because peat is one of the ideal substrate materials for soilless cultivation, and the material is easy to obtain. In addition, it has the advantages of insect prevention, disease prevention and weeding-free. In the specific operation, plastic plates and plastic bags can be isolated from the soil on the ground, and the trough and hole can be filled with peat as the planting substrate. A more elegant one can be used to plant high beds, and then use peat as a planting substrate for flower planting and production. Soilless cultivation with peat has been widely used in foreign countries. 8. Used for lawn roll industrial production at present, the demand for lawn roll in urban greening construction is increasing, and the production of lawn roll needs a lot of land resources, which restricts the repeated production conditions, but using peat as the main raw material, adding pastoral soil and river sand to form a medium can repeatedly produce lawn rolls in the same area, improve land utilization rate, reduce production costs, and realize the industrial production of lawn rolls. 9. Peat soil for the cultivation of edible fungi can be used as the substrate and covering soil for the cultivation of edible fungi. The cultivated substrate and soil cover can be used to make organic compound fertilizer, which greatly reduces the production cost of edible fungi. 10. The "peat preparation" used in peat-based compound fertilizers with peat as the main raw material can expand the resources of organic fertilizer, prevent land consolidation and degradation, reduce the amount of chemical fertilizer, protect the environment, and improve the output and quality of agricultural by-products. 11. The capacity of peat used for the construction of rooftop gardens is very small, with a dry weight of 0.2 to 0.3 grams per cubic centimeter and a wet weight of 0.6 to 0.7 grams per cubic centimeter. By comparison, the dry weight of ordinary soil is 1.25 to 1.75 grams per cubic centimeter and the wet weight is between 1.9 and 2.1 grams per cubic centimeter. If 100% peat is used in the construction of the roof garden, the weight of the soil foundation can be reduced from 2 to 3 to 4. In practical use, the roof garden is generally made of peat mixed with two portions of ordinary soil, the weight of the soil foundation is reduced by about 25% to 30%, and the air permeability and nutrient content of the soil base are greatly improved. It can be said that peat is an ideal material for building roof gardens. Compared with the traditional cultivation substrate, peat has stronger water holding capacity, permeability, and is more conducive to the growth of plant roots, so its application prospect will be more and more broad. In the cultivation of succulent plants often talk about the use of peat soil, the most common is peat soil, perlite, vermiculite, the proportion is about 1:1:1. Let's talk about the selection and purchase of peat. Look at purity and consistency. High-quality peat has good air permeability, uniform thickness, loose texture, full of elasticity, non-sticky hands, less impurities, less crude ash content, not giving up soil. The production of moss peat has high topography and low nutrients, mainly moss, so it has less mixed plants and high purity. At the same time, due to the acid environment, the degree of decomposition is small and the content of crude ash is less. The peat production site has low topography and high nutrient content, and the growing plants are high vascular plants with many species, many mixtures in the process of formation, high decomposition degree of peat and poor purity and consistency. When buying, the peat with appropriate fiber thickness and uniform thickness should be selected according to the need. The second is color. The colors of peat are yellow, brown, brown, dark brown, black and so on, which are directly related to charcoal-making plants and the degree of decomposition. Due to different carbon-making plants, moss peat is lighter, generally yellow or yellowish brown; herbaceous peat is brown, brown, dark brown, such as domestic northeast peat. In addition, with the increase of the decomposition degree of peat, the color will change from light to dark, and with the increase of the mixture, the consistency of peat color will become worse. Generally speaking, high-quality peat soil should be yellow or yellowish brown and uniform. Third, look at the degree of resolution. High-quality cultivated peat should have a small degree of decomposition, so as to maintain a suitable bulk density and porosity, which is beneficial to plant growth and stable properties. Generally, it can be determined by the method of extruding peat after adding water. the specific method is to wet the peat and squeeze it by hand. because the peat with low degree of decomposition contains less ash, the extruded water is almost transparent and will expand rapidly after it is released, such as the peat produced in Canada. The peat with high degree of decomposition contains more ash, and the extruded water is turbid, even black. The decomposed peat will flow out from between the fingers and will not expand and recover after being pinched by the hand. Some flower friends have done a comparative experiment on raising seedlings with imported peat and domestic peat, and it is concluded that imported peat is better than domestic peat. In fact, many imported peat are generally strictly disinfected and added fertilizers and trace elements, domestic peat raw materials mining after the post-treatment process is relatively rough, generally without adding fertilizer and trace elements, the comparison between the two is unfair. According to the test results of some domestic institutions, in terms of mineral raw materials, the main composition of domestic peat is similar to that of foreign peat, and even some indexes are better than foreign peat. At present, the price of domestic peat on the market is a fraction of that of imported peat, but after proper fertilizer is added to domestic peat, the effect of raising seedlings is basically the same as that of imported peat, so it is suggested that more domestic peat should be selected from the performance-to-price ratio. Of course, you must remember to disinfect and add fertilizer and trace elements before use. Conclusion: the above is the knowledge about the classification and application of peat summarized by the editor. I hope you have read this article to have a more in-depth understanding of peat.
