Green flowers, how to cultivate Phalaenopsis in water

Operation steps of hydroponic Phalaenopsis

Clean up the root system

The root of Phalaenopsis is thoroughly washed with clean water. Dead and rotten roots should be carefully removed. Flowers where conditions permit can also be soaked with fungicides, and then leave the plants in a cool place to dry. .

Select hydroponic container

When choosing hydroponic containers, it is recommended to use transparent glass bottles. The advantage is that the root growth can be clearly seen at any time. Secondly, light transmission contributes to root growth and makes root development more beautiful.

Fixed plant

Then, the dried plant is carefully inserted into the selected container, and there may be a problem that the plant is not well fixed. There are two solutions to this problem.

Method 1: if the plant is more suitable for the container, no additional fixing measures can be taken, and the support of Phalaenopsis leaves can be used.

Method 2: the condition can be used with the selected container to use the appropriate planting basket

Method 3: a wire of appropriate thickness can also be taken to make a ring wound from the root to the valve stem, and then hooked to the mouth of the container, and the winding method can be carried out according to the method. Individual cases.

Water spray protection

After the equipment is fixed in the container, the main purpose of adding water to the container is to increase the humidity of the air by evaporation. After adding water, it is better not to let the water touch the roots. Of course, the water may touch the root tip slightly. Then, according to the actual temperature of the environment, control the air humidity and spray the right amount of water.

Rooting and long leaves

After completing all the above work, you can enter the long waiting process. The slow time of the seedling stage is determined by the original plant state, so it will be different. Under normal circumstances, new roots and leaves will appear within 2-4 weeks. .

Hydroponic Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis mostly grow water moss, but there are also flower friends hydroponic Phalaenopsis, and achieved good results, so how do you hydroponically cultivate Phalaenopsis? The operation time of hydroponic Phalaenopsis is usually selected from April to May (the beginning of the growing season), slow seedlings and fast seedlings).

The specific steps are as follows:

1. Wash the roots of Phalaenopsis with water, remove dead roots, and conditional flower friends, soak in fungicides, and then dry plants in a cool place.

2, choose the right container, personally recommend the use of transparent glass bottle, the benefit: you can observe the state of the root at any time, see the light is conducive to the growth of the root, the root is also a kind of beauty.

3. Put the dried plants in a prepared container. At this point, you will encounter a problem that plants cannot repair. Method 1: if the plants and containers are just right, you can directly support the leaves of Phalaenopsis without external fixation. Method 2: you can choose a suitable planting basket to use with the container; method 3: you can use wire with appropriate thickness to form a ring, wrap the root on the stem of Phalaenopsis and hook it to the wall of the container.

4. After adjusting the blue and the container, the water added to the container is mainly used to evaporate to provide humidity, and the amount of water is not suitable for touching the root or slightly touching the root. Then, according to the ambient temperature, maintain the humidity of the blue plants and spray water. (this is because it is completely breathable and can be used to spray)

5. The next step is a long waiting time. The slow seedling stage varies according to the state of the original plant. Generally speaking, there are signs of new roots and leaves within 2-4 weeks. (if you don't have it, don't die, then wait, don't panic, kiss)

6. Post-maintenance issues:

Water and temperature: when the temperature is low in winter, pay attention to humidity. The main reason is that if the root has grown into the water, the root in the water will die easily. So in the winter, especially during the transition period when heating is off (as parents in the north know), I have tested that there is no water in the container at all, only regular spraying is enough.

Fertilization: the previously used liquid fertilizer spray surface can continue to be used. Solid granular fertilizer (for example, magic fertilizer.) can be put directly into a container of water. Or wrap the fertilizer around the root.

Water root: after normal growth, the root will naturally grow into water. Adapt to the long-term growth of water will not be bad, but need to pay attention to moss.

Clean moss: the surface of the container in the water is longer and the moss grows at the root. The growth is faster after adding fertilizer. It needs to be cleaned regularly, otherwise the water will rot. (direct shower is simple and practical)

Patch repair: this is a problem, the fairy is eager to recruit (according to personal aesthetics, can not be tied or bound)

Semi-hydroponic culture of Phalaenopsis (improved)

Phalaenopsis is cultivated in water culture, and water moss is also planted. Some smart flower friends think that semi-hydroponic Phalaenopsis has unexpected results. Many flower friends are pursuing the semi-aqueous culture method of Phalaenopsis. This article is a friend of Hua. The improved version of Phalaenopsis in semi-hydroponic culture can be used as a reference for flower friends.

The method of changing from moss culture to improved semi-water culture:

1. First, as many netizens suggested before the arrival of the orchid, carefully clean up the moss and residue on the original strain, cut off the roots, rotten roots and weak roots, rinse carefully with water, and remove the diseased leaves. The wound should be coated with charcoal powder or cornmeal to dry the wound and let the plant dry for three or four hours.

2Jing 2-liter plastic bottle (Master Kang is better) is divided into two parts, take out the thinner part in the middle, and heat the hole on the shoulder of the bottle with nails and wire.

3. Plant dry plants in plastic bottles. The upper part of the plastic bottle is first placed in a broken brick about 2-3 cm. Put the plant on the brick. Then put the carbon block and punch it up and forward.

4. Without watering, the leaves can be sprayed. Four days later, put about four centimeters of water at the bottom of the bottle so that the roots are not exposed to water, the water needed for the roots of plants, supplemented by steam in which the water is evaporated. The small hole in the bottle and the original bottle mouth are used to keep the water vapor connected up and down.

5, the strength of orchid plants is different, the root system is different, 7 to 40 days is alive and healthy. When you see the old root turn green from the outside of the bottle, the new root grows on the old root or stem. An important difficulty has passed, and 80% of survival has been achieved. If some roots rot, don't be afraid, you can clean up the plants (pour them out).

6. Wait until the new roots grow from many old roots or stems. About 20 to 50 days after planting the Phalaenopsis plant, add water to the new root tip under the new root tip (the root tip or root count 2 to 5 mm, that is, it does not allow the water to flood for a period of time (due to different temperatures, different length of time), the new root joyfully enters the water and gets longer and longer. In addition, when the new root of the stem and the new root of the upper root grow, the new leaves begin to grow into the air, and the new leaves begin to grow. At this time, the improved semi-water cultivation method has been completely successful, Phalaenopsis has changed its vitality. The growth state, aquatic development and harmony, will soon grow arrows and blossom not far away.

7, room temperature can be more than 15 degrees higher than that of the basin. The temperature is high, the recovery is quick, the root is fast. The temperature is low, the recovery is slow and the root system is slow.
