Time and method of watering orchids how to water orchids

Orchid is a gentleman in flowers, there is no gorgeous design and color, but pleasant aroma, but also favored by many people, put it indoors to watch. However, in the process of breeding, we still need to pay more attention to raise orchids. Next, we will introduce the time and methods of watering orchids.

Time and method of watering orchids

The orchid is watered for the first time by the sitting basin method, which makes the basin absorb enough water. Finally, put the pot orchid in the shade for about half a month to 1 month. Watering should be controlled during this period and should not be too wet. Later, it will be placed in half-shade and half-sun, ventilated and breathable, so that it can shine on the sun in the morning. The basin platform should be about 1 meter high and should not be placed on the platform to prevent ants and earthworms from entering through the basin bottom hole, affecting the growth of orchids. The culture soil can be used in the first layer of hillside soil on the mountain, or mixed with fine sand and loam, and the culture soil should be screened and disinfected.

Practice has proved that orchids are eight-minute dry and two-part wet is the best, and orchids should be watered less during flowering and leaf budding stage. During the rainy season, you should move back indoors or build a shed to cover the rain. Watering orchids in the early morning or evening in summer should not be too much, and the amount of water in autumn can be increased. Spray every evening during the dry season. Spray upward, the fog point is fine and uniform, so that the leaf surface is moist, the ground is moist, and the air humidity is increased.

Sometimes it is best to spray several times a day, orchid watering should be watered from the edge of the basin, not on the head, not at noon. In short, dry is poured, wet is stopped, appropriate partial dry as the principle. It is better to use Rain Water and spring water. All kinds of water should be taken and stored in the tank first, so that the pollutants in the water are precipitated, the water temperature is normal, and the chlorine in the tap water escapes, and then poured.

How to water orchids

1. Water temperature

Do not use cold water to irrigate in winter. The water temperature should be close to room temperature. It is advisable to use 8 ℃ for 10 min. Do not use hot water to irrigate in summer, such as using a water tower to store water, it is necessary to prevent excessive water temperature from harming the orchid plant and the orchid root, the water temperature should not exceed 25 ℃, and do not suddenly irrigate the orchid plant with cold water to avoid damage to the orchid plant.

2. Humidity

When the air humidity is too high, it should not be watered or sprayed when it reaches 90 / 100C. During the day, the humidity should be 70mur90. Too much humidity will weaken the role of the root in absorbing water, affect the number of roots, and make the orchid plant lose its original power. Third, we should pay attention to the protection of new buds. During the period of new bud opening, it is appropriate to carry out root watering, and sprinkle and spray water as little as possible, otherwise water irrigation will cause waterlogging rot and cause loss.

3. Do not pour half of the water

Some people mistakenly think that orchids can not be watered more, so they do not dare to water, often water half of the water, the pot material is wet and dry for a long time, causing the roots to dry up due to lack of water.

4. Pour less standing water

When the water tower stores water for too long, the water molecules form chains, and the longer the time is, the more difficult it is to disassemble, and it is difficult to participate in metabolic activities.

5. Pour "reviving water"

After fertilizing in the evening, the orchid plant can effectively absorb most of the nutrients through the absorption of one night, and it needs water most at this time, just like drinking tea after a meal, so it needs to be watered with "soul water" the next morning. It has two functions: one is to wash off the fat liquid splashed on the leaves; the other is to wash off the residual fertilizer in the basin to prevent fertilizer damage.

6. Don't water too often

Orchids have a great tolerance to water, and they are relatively drought-tolerant plants, and a little drying has little effect. On the contrary, it can not be wet, 24 hours of water will cause suffocation, daily cultivation, the vast majority of people love orchid too much, watering too often, resulting in root rot, resulting in plant death.

7. Acid rain

If Rain Water is used, two kinds of Rain Water are not available. One is that acid rain water cannot be used to water orchids. The so-called "acid rain" means that sulfides, fluorides and other acidic substances suspended in the air fall when it rains to form "acid rain". This water must not be used to water orchids; second, artificial rain water, rain bombs contain chemicals, these substances are dissolved in Rain Water, used to water orchids will also corrode the orchid root.

8. Do not spray water at will

Water spraying is necessary, in addition to replenishing water, it can also keep orchid leaves fresh, which is conducive to orchid leaf respiration and photosynthesis, but it can not be sprayed at will: do not spray in strong sunlight; do not spray in hot weather; spray less when it is difficult to dry without wind; do not spray water with impurities; do not spray when the humidity is too high in rainy days, and so on.
