What if the orchid gets sick?

Orchids have always been loved by the majority of basin friends, but in the process of planting and cultivation, plants infected with soft rot and stem rot are also the biggest headaches. Today, the editor will give you advice to help you solve these two most troublesome problems and help you protect your beloved potted orchids.

If the leaf roots of orchids are blackened and yellowed, and yellow leaves appear from top to bottom, the most common reason is that the plant is infected with soft rot or stem rot. So, what if the orchid gets sick? No matter what kind of disease we are infected with, we need to treat it in time.

The treatment of soft rot usually requires the use of anti-bacterial drugs, such as copper hydroxide, king copper, amber fat copper and other copper preparations, while the treatment of stem rot usually uses antifungal drugs, such as carbendazim, chlorothalonil, potassium permanganate and so on. It can be seen that for different types of orchid diseases, we need to use different drugs.

In the warm environment of poor ventilation and excessive humidity, potted orchids usually breed a large number of anaerobes, and a large number of spores will continue to reproduce, thus making the orchids sick. Therefore, in order to avoid orchid infection, smooth ventilation is a condition that must be guaranteed. If necessary, you can even use devices such as fans to speed up air circulation.

In addition to meeting the ventilation conditions, original watering is also a great knowledge for the conservation of orchids. As a novice, the first thing you need to consider is how to feed the orchid, and then you can consider raising it well. It is generally recommended to use the plant material with loose air permeability and good drainage effect, while keeping the plant material slightly dry.

By taking the above actions, we can reduce the reproduction and spread of bacteria and germs, and at the same time avoid or reduce the probability of rotting roots caused by stagnant water in the basin. For watering, it is usually recommended to wait until about 2 cm below the surface of the plant has dried. And watering should be carried out at night, and do not spray orchid leaves.

Of course, if you are experienced in growing orchids in pots, they generally know how to safely handle the problem of watering, and they can even be served by flooding, and they will not let the orchids rot their roots. Scientific watering can promote the rapid germination of orchids, and orchid seedlings grow faster and grow better. To find problems, we should analyze them scientifically and solve them reasonably. Only in this way can potted orchids flourish.
