Hanging orchid is a kind of indoor decoration plant that everyone likes very much, fresh and pleasant, bring a touch of fresh green to the bedroom at the same time can also purify the indoor air. Now many families or companies are in indoor water culture hanging orchid, both simple and clean, today the editor will teach you the method of water culture hanging orchid, it is really very simple!

Tools / raw materials 1, hanging orchids, small scissors 2, bottles, trays or decorative pots 3, cold boiled water or treated tap water step 1: choose tap water after placement

Find a transparent glass bottle filled with water. Remember: it can't be ordinary tap water. Because tap water contains chemicals such as bleach, it is not conducive to the growth and development of the root system of Cymbidium. Preferably cold boiled water, no diseases and insect pests, algae spores and other acrobatics. The tap water released from the faucet should be left open for 12 hours to remove chlorine from the tap water, which is more conducive to the healthy growth of plants, especially the roots can keep white and tender for a long time without turning green and improve ornamental.

Step 2: place washed pebbles

Wash the pebbles. Many novices try to grow water-raised orchids for the first time, simply thinking that as long as they put them in the water. In fact, if the whole plant is immersed in water, the root of the orchid will rot due to excessive anaerobic respiration. Find some pebbles of the right size and smooth appearance, wash them and put them into a glass bottle, accounting for about 2/5 of the total volume of the bottle.

Step 3: choose the plant on the stem.

To select varieties, we can choose the aerial root of the plant on the stem to plant, because this kind of aerial root is very suitable for hydroponic environment, it is relatively easy to manage, and the root system will sprout after 5 days of water culture. Cut off the orchid with small scissors, remove the old leaves, cut off the old roots, leave only a few new leaves, and slowly put them into the bottle.

Too many old leaves and roots will not only consume nutrients in vain, but also delay the germination of new roots, so they must be removed.

Step 4: take root after 3-5 days

After about 3 to 5 days, something a little white begins to appear on the top or edge of the original green root (air root). If you take a closer look, you may cry out with surprise: "A new root has grown!" With the passage of time, there are more and more new white roots and gradually fill the bottle.

Before and just growing roots, do not change water frequently, because young roots just grow out of particularly fragile, the process of changing water will hurt young roots and hinder the growth rate of young roots.

Step 5: change water frequently in post-management.

In the post-management process, the most important thing is to change water frequently. Especially in the high temperature season, the respiration of plants is strengthened, and in addition, in its own metabolism, it can also convert the carcinogenic formaldehyde in the air into sugars and amino acids, which can be transported to the roots or released in water. If you can not change the water in time, the clear water quality will turn gray, and a layer of dirt will float on the surface, which will seriously lead to rotten roots, slippery and dirty with your hands.

Step 6: clean up the aging excess roots regularly

When there are more and more new roots, you must also pay attention to two points: first, you can use small scissors to cut off some of the earlier roots in time; second, do not let the whole root be immersed in water. The roots need to be exposed in the air for a few centimeters, so that even if the roots soaked in the water cannot absorb oxygen, the roots exposed in the air can replenish some oxygen.

Step 7: add a small amount of nutrient solution on time

Hanging orchid does not like direct light, generally placed in a place where there can be scattered light, on the line. The requirement for water nutrition is not high. After half a month or so, less nitrogen fertilizer or granular compound fertilizer can be added to the water, and the proportion of fertilizer and water will be 11500. People also have the habit of growing flowers with rice water. However, the Amoy rice water must be placed for three or five days, and after full fermentation, the supernatant is taken. However, the concentration is not too high when mixed into the water-raised hanging orchid bottle at the ratio of 1:10.

Step 8: make simple decoration to increase appreciation

Congratulations! A brand-new water-raised magnolia has been successfully cultivated. In order to increase the enjoyment, you can put the glass bottles of water-raised orchids into other trays or decorative pots.
