When the orchid is cultivated with soil, as long as the orchid is put on the soil, and then in a light layer of thin soil, properly watered, it can take root and sprout, the speed of rooting in the soil is relatively fast, it is very easy to survive.

Introduction to hydroponic culture of orchid with Buddha beads

Last time, I introduced to you some basic common sense of Buddha beads hanging orchids. Many friends think that it is too difficult to cultivate orchids. Can they be hydroponically cultivated? Rabbit in order to meet everyone's needs, looked up a lot of information on the Internet, but also personally experimented for a long time, and finally found out the answer. At this time to share with you, oh, you want to water culture Buddha beads hanging orchid friends, quickly follow the rabbit to have a look. Buddha beads and orchids cannot be hydroponically cultivated. Why is that?

Hydroponic orchids are generally hydroponic, and pearl orchids are mainly cultivated in soil. because they like warm, humid and semi-shady environment, one of the unique characteristics of pearl orchids is drought resistance and cold resistance. And like loose and fertile soil rich in organic matter. Therefore, the culture methods of pearl orchids are as follows:

1. The leaves are succulent and succulent, so they are resistant to drought. Watering should be dry rather than wet in cultivation, which is one of the keys to success. When the weather is dry, you can spray water to the leaves and vines to make up for the lack of moisture and keep the beads green and full. Prefer semi-shade, sun exposure may burn beads, too weak light will not grow strong.

2. The root system of the plant is very shallow and can be planted in shallow pot. Generally, tiles are used to cover the bottom holes and covered with a layer of cinder or coarse sand to increase air permeability and filtration (especially when plastic pots are commonly used nowadays). It is best to use rotten leaf soil (the fallen leaves of trees in autumn and winter are mixed with a certain amount of broken soil to be exposed to the wild grass. Mix in a certain amount of sand (the ratio of soil to sand is about 1:3).

3. Sex is warm and humid, cold-tolerant (low temperature of 0 ℃ in Jianghuai region), high temperature, and the optimum temperature is about 20 ℃ ~ 28 ℃. Both high temperature and low temperature grow slowly, especially when the temperature is more than 30 ℃, it is almost dormant. Less watering and fertilization should be done, otherwise the roots are easy to rot, which is also one of the keys to successful cultivation.

4. In the spring and autumn when the growth is exuberant, "thin fertilizer" should be applied frequently. Spraying 1-3 ‰ nitrogen fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaf surface is beneficial to make the pearl more green and fat and improve the ornamental value.

5. There are few diseases and insect pests, and aphids are one of them in spring, which should be wiped off or sprayed with 1500 times omethoate in time, while mites in summer and autumn should be killed with 1000 times triclofenac. Pay attention to ventilation and increase leaf humidity, can reduce the infection of mites.

6. Pearl orchid can be propagated by cuttage. Branches and vines are easy to take root and can be cut off in spring and autumn, half of which are buried in sand or loose soil, keeping moist but without stagnant water, and will soon take root for planting (about half a month in spring and autumn, while it is not easy to take root in winter and summer. This measure can be used to make up for the fact that the pot plants are not uniform and plump but grow too long.)

I wonder if you have understood the above training skills? Magnolia is a succulent plant, if hydroponic, it is easy to break or rot roots, so we should not easily try hydroponic orchid or other succulent plants. Although the rabbit can not tell you how to hydroponically cultivate this lovely little thing, it can introduce you to a lot of techniques of local Buddha beads and orchids. So, don't lose heart if you don't get the answer you want from hydroponics. The Buddha bead orchid cultivated in soil is also very beautiful.

Can succulent plant pearl orchid be hydroponically cultivated? Pearl orchid is a succulent plant of the genus Compositae, which is also known as emerald bead, lover's tears, Buddha bead, green bell and green bell because it is composed of a string of bulging, full green oval leaves. Its flowering period is from December of that year to January of next year. Many flower friends who cultivate pearl orchids want to cultivate pearl orchids in water, but in fact, they can't be raised in water. The pearl orchid prefers a warm, humid, semi-overcast environment. It has strong adaptability and is resistant to drought and cold. Like loose and fertile soil rich in organic matter. It grows best in the environment of warmth, high humidity and strong scattered light. Instead of soil, it grows better in loose sandy loam. Generally suitable for growth in medium light conditions, but also resistant to weak light. The suitable temperature for growth was 15 ℃ and 25 ℃, and the overwintering temperature was 5 ℃. In addition, attention should be paid to watering in the process of cultivating pearl orchids, and the hot weather in summer should be properly shaded. Plants can be moved in a semi-shaded environment, withered leaves can be cut off, and water is often sprayed on the leaves and the environment, and the newly extracted leaves can be restored to the normal state. Do not cause stagnant water in the basin when watering, avoid long-term rain, and often change the basin for pearl orchids.
