Successful orchid farming starts with knowing the roots of orchids

Orchids belong to higher plants. Like other higher plants, orchids are made up of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and other parts.

We grow orchids, from the selection of plant materials, watering skills, separate plants and pots and other work, in fact, are closely related to the roots of orchids. Whether an orchid is planted well or not is reflected in the leaves and flowers. In fact, the root of the orchid lies in the root. When the root of the orchid appears in the problem, it will be directly reflected in the leaves. What is more, the leaves are still good, but the root of the orchid is quietly changing. Therefore, in orchid planting, it is very important to take care of the orchid root, and the grower must first know the orchid root.

The orchid root is connected with the base of the false bulb of the orchid, which is fleshy root, usually with several branches and occasionally branched roots. The root of the orchid grows in clusters. If the root is exposed, it is generally green. The thickness and length of the root will vary according to the variety. The main root of the orchid is generally undivided and is cylindrical in shape. there is a bright root canal at the top of the orchid root, which is commonly known as the crystal head.

According to the structure, Langen can be divided into outer layer, middle layer and inner layer. The outer layer is the root bark, which protects the tissue and absorbs water. The middle layer is the cortex, which plays the role of storing water and nutrients. The inner layer is the central stem, which is thin and tough, and has the function of transporting water and nutrients.

The main function of orchid root is to absorb and store water and nutrients, which has a very strong water storage capacity. If the orchid root has stagnant water, it is easy to rot and rot, and if it is lack of water, it is easy to cause empty roots, which will affect the normal growth of orchids. Therefore, when planting orchids, when selecting materials and watering, we should keep the soil environment of orchids growing "moist but not wet", which is suitable for the normal growth of orchids.
