How to maintain the flowering period of orchid reasonably

Whenever the orchid flowering is the most relaxed time for people to manage the orchid, in fact, this is the time when the management can make the orchid blossom big and beautiful. Next, let's take a look at how to maintain the orchid florescence reasonably.

Florescence Management of Orchid

Pay attention to humidity: orchids should not be dry or wet from flowering to flowering. Once the topsoil is found to be slightly dry and white, it can be watered. When watering, it is better to pour half of it. If the temperature is too high, the air is dry or the wind is strong, you need to spray fine mist with a fine spray bottle to increase the local air humidity.

Adjust the light: the flower of the orchid has phototaxis, when the flower begins to grow, it should turn the flowerpot in time, adjust the direction, let it receive uniform light, so as not to cause the flower branch to tilt. But it is worth noting that strong light is easy to burn flowers, before the flowers open, should be placed in a place with scattered light, but the light should not be too weak, the color of the flowers is poor, and the fragrance of the flowers is weak. During the flowering period, it is best to maintain in the appropriate shade to ensure that the flowers are beautiful and dignified.

Heat preservation and cold protection: Cymbidium and autumn orchid blooming in summer are often caused by high temperature, while cold orchid, ink orchid and spring orchid blooming in winter and spring are often attacked by the northwest wind and Frosts Descent. Therefore, water should be sprinkled around potted flowers in summer and autumn, and northwest wind and frost should be sheltered in winter and spring. Excessive flowering of orchids with proper thinning will consume too many nutrients and affect the formation of leaf buds in the same year and flower bud differentiation in the following year, so flowers should be thinned properly to reduce nutrient consumption. Generally, 2 to 3 sturdy flowers are left in each pot. for those with many flowers, they should also stay strong to weak and sparse buds appropriately.

Supplementary nutrients: in order to improve the color and aroma of orchids, nutrients should be supplemented in the early stage of flower bud differentiation, and mixed application of rotten bean cake water rich in phosphorus and potassium and rice washing water at 1:10.

How to water the orchid blossom

First of all, water is an important component of the protoplasm of orchid plants. The water content of the protoplast of orchid plant is generally more than 80%. If the water content decreases, the life activity will be affected. If the protoplasm loses too much water, it will cause the destruction of the protoplast and lead to the death of the plant.

Secondly, water is the raw material in the metabolic process of orchid plants. Assimilation and alienation in orchid plants require the participation of water molecules, such as photosynthesis, respiration, hydrolysis and so on.

Thirdly, water is the medium of metabolic process of orchid plants. Only when the nutrient elements in the cultivation medium are dissolved in water can they be absorbed by the orchid root system, and various metabolites must be transported to all parts of the orchid plant along with the water.

Fourth, water can keep the orchid plant in its inherent shape. Only when there is a large amount of water in the cells of the orchid plant, can the cell expand, the plant stand upright, and it is easy to accept light and gas exchange. Once the orchid plant loses water, it will wilt.

Fifth, water can regulate the body temperature of orchid plants. Water not only has high vaporization heat and specific heat, but also has high thermal conductivity, which is beneficial for orchid plants to maintain body temperature and emit heat, and to water orchids. One of its important functions is to regulate the body temperature of orchids.

In a word, water is the source of orchid life and the foundation of orchid growth. properly meeting the water needs of orchid plants is the most important condition for orchid growth.
