The old gardener taught you to raise orchids: three guidelines to avoid detours and flowers bloom in groups

The orchid is a gentleman in the flower, precious and delicate, so it takes some effort to raise it well. A few days ago, Xiaoye learned some basic skills of orchid cultivation from a gardener. Share with you. Do the following three points. I believe your orchid blossoms will be absolutely no problem.

Florists should be good at distinguishing when choosing and buying:

For good orchid seedlings, the roots should be grayish white and relatively complete, without serious drying, shrinkage, decay and breaking, and no translucent waterlogging after freezing. The leaves should be bright green and glossy, without serious withered yellow and black spots. It is better for each tree to have several cylinders connected into a large piece, and it is easy to sprout new leaves after survival.

Raising orchids-watering

Can orchids be watered more?

Orchids like cool and damp, but moisture only means that the soil remains moist and can not be watered more. When the climate is dry, it is appropriate to use a fine-hole spray can to pour the leaves and pot soil to slightly wet, do not let the roots of the flowers accumulate water. When the weather is dry in summer, spray water on the leaves, preferably 2 or 3 times a day. In winter, if the basin soil is not too dry, there is no need to water it. Therefore, it is best to plant the orchid in a shady place not far from the ponds and woods. This kind of ambient air has high humidity, which is suitable for the growth of the orchid.

What kind of water do you water orchids?

Water for watering flowers, preferably from the pond. In the case that only tap water can be used, tap water should be stored in a container for 1 day before watering. If you want to water in cold weather in winter or early spring, you need to pour lukewarm water of more than ten degrees Celsius, not much lower than the temperature of the basin soil, otherwise the spring orchid will be damaged.

Orchid cultivation-fertilization

Orchids like fertilizer, but can not stand too much fertilizer, if the use of inorganic fertilizer (chemical fertilizer) should be sparse, and can not be watered more. Amoy rice water stored for several days after fermentation (do not pour on the leaves), its nutrient content is enough to meet the needs of flowers. It is also appropriate to water the flowers with peeled apple peels and kernels for a day or two, because this kind of water and fertilizer is not strong, contains a variety of nutrients, and has a certain acidity, which is in line with the taste of orchids.

If you find it troublesome, you can also buy fertilizer for application, but pay attention to the selection of fertilizer. Some use granular fertilizer for a long time, resulting in soil consolidation, fleshy roots have difficulty breathing, resulting in asphyxiation. Lanyou recommends a special fertilizer for orchids, which is non-irritating and promotes the growth of orchids. It is easier to flourish and can be used once every 10 days.

Raise orchids-- Lighting

Orchids like shade, not much sun, but long-term growth in the dark, the accumulation of organic matter is too little, can not meet its growth needs, it will be difficult to bloom.

It is suggested that in the spring, autumn and winter, Lanyou should move it to the sun at 8: 10 am for 2-3 hours, and let it bask for half an hour at about 8 am in summer. Such light is good for orchids.
