Orchid planting and daily maintenance

Orchids are one of the most beautiful flowers in the plant kingdom, with more than 30, 000 varieties and more than 200000 hybrids. Next, let's take a look at the planting and daily maintenance of orchids.

After the bluegrass has been selected, it should be put on the pot. Orchids are fleshy roots, the drainage performance on the basin must be good, should choose rotten leaf soil or mountain soil with more humus (commonly known as "orchid mud"-family flowers can be bought in the florist), the pH value should be 5.5-6.5. This kind of orchid mud can also be selected from the mountains to dig the rotten leaf soil on the sandstone and fire layer rock, or to prepare their own acidic culture soil. The mud transported from the mountain must first screen out impurities such as grass roots and stones, preferably those that have been stacked for 1-2 years, and need to be sterilized in the sun before use. Then set aside in the shade.

The drainage of the basin bottom is also very fastidious, the mud basin is filled with broken tiles, and the purple sand basin must be covered with perforated nylon gauze. Before planting, cover the basin with coarse stones, accounting for about 2 to 5 percent of the basin depth, rough stone culture soil, 3-5 centimeters thick, and then put in bluegrass. When putting on the basin, pay attention to the root to self-expand, not curl. When planting a famous species of bluegrass, be sure to put the old grass aside and the new grass in the center, so that there is room for new grass. When planting, hold the bluegrass in the left hand, add mud in the right hand, and then lift the orchid plant slightly to make the roots stretch naturally. Then shake the basin while adding soil so that the soil is in close contact with the root. Then use your hands to press the soil around the stem, and finally make the basin slightly steamed bread (that is, slightly lower around the middle). It is covered with a layer of moss or fine pebbles, so that the basin soil is not easy to consolidate and can reduce water evaporation. After putting on the basin, water it immediately. There should be enough water for the first time. Finally, put the orchid bowl in the shade. Should not directly bask in the sun within a month, and control watering, should not be too wet, and then choose to place in the half-yin and half-yang, ventilated and breathable place where the sun is shining in the morning.

Daily maintenance methods of Orchid

(1) watering flowers without hard water and polluted water. Orchids are most afraid of waterlogging, but also afraid of drought, appropriate watering, it is appropriate to keep the basin soil moist, to ensure the coordination of water and fertilizer. Usually use Amoy rice water to mature and irrigate, not only for nourishment, but also for water, which is beneficial to the growth of orchids.

Cultivate soil. Orchid is a perennial root plant, which requires soil rich in humus, fertile and loose, pH5.5 to 6.5. Pot culture soil was piled with rotten leaf soil, yellow mud, sawdust, pig and cow manure and certain compound chemical fertilizer, then used after full ripening, and sterilized by sunlight before potting.

(3) Scientific topdressing should be carried out on the basis of preparing fertile and high quality culture soil. The soaking solution of grass and other plants, such as stem and leaf, watermelon peel, fruit shell and bean cake, has the best effect. The application of potassium fertilizer such as plant ash is beneficial to the growth of orchids. The three elements have good matrix, strong growth of orchid seedlings, enhanced stress resistance, glossy leaves and bright flowers.

The planting steps of orchids

Choose an orchid variety. Some orchids are easier to grow than others. Cartland, Phalaenopsis and Paphiopsis are the easiest to grow and can be recommended to most novice gardeners and orchid growers. However, there are said to be more than 20,000 species of orchids, twice the number of existing bird species and four times the number of mammals, and anyone can always find a suitable orchid.

Choose the soil that suits your orchid. Some novices mistakenly think that orchids need potted plants as well as other flowers, so they choose potted soil. This is a serious mistake. The roots of most orchids need more air, so loose, porous soil is more suitable, while potted soil cannot do this.

Unless your orchid is a large plant, choose a small flowerpot. Many orchids don't mind taking root in full pots. Choose a small flowerpot to plant your orchids and make sure there are many drainage holes in the flowerpot itself. Remember, the natural enemy of orchids is often overwatered. Some orchids, such as Cymbidium, need deeper pots to grow roots.

If you are sowing, be patient. Make sure your hands and surroundings are sterile. Sprinkle a few seeds under the soil surface of each flowerpot. Environmentally friendly fertilizers can be added if necessary. Also, use the best soil.

Potted orchids. Remove the orchid from the previous flowerpot and be sure to cut off the dead or rotten roots. If necessary, divide the root into several pieces before planting the orchid in a pot. The most mature piece should be planted close to the flower pot wall. Gently add the culture soil to cover the root slightly.

Know when to transplant orchids. The best time intervals for transplanting different orchids are also different: once a year: Dendrobium, Magnolia, Magnolia and Phalaenopsis (and hybrids); twice a year: Cartland, Dendrobium, Oncidium, Magnolia (and hybrids); once every three years: Wandai Orchid, Cymbidium.
