Matters needing attention in the use of orchid planting trays and mastering the methods of topdressing edible fungi

Some growers use semi-natural conditions to grow orchids due to economic conditions. they use water trays to humidify the orchids to keep the plants in the basin moist. In this way, the orchid plants planted in this way are not bad except for the effects of air drying and scorched points, so it is a good method to plant in semi-natural state and humidify the water tray. There are a lot of things that need to be paid attention to in the use of the water tray. Let me tell you some methods and matters needing attention in the use of the water tray.

1. Humidification effect of water tray

The water tray is a kind of water storage tool placed on the bottom of the orchid basin, the small one is called the water tray, and the big one is called the water basin. Water tray is commonly used in potted flowers at present, which is made of shallow pot mouth disc type with plastic mold, and the specification for orchid cultivation is generally 15-20 cm caliber.

The water basin is customized according to the needs of the environment, and it is generally made of galvanized sheet or stainless steel plate.

When the evaporation of water in the air-dried plant is accelerated during the watering interval, due to the internal absorption, the water of the water tray will be slowly adsorbed along with the basin foot, so as to prolong the moistening effect of the plant in the basin, so that the upper and lower dry humidity of the plant tends to be the same. pouring water behind plays a good role in regulating.

The water stored in the water tray is absorbed by the plant and evaporated, which will undoubtedly add certain water molecules to the air. Therefore, the moisturizing and humidifying effect of the water tray is obvious.

Second, the design and use of different sizes of water trays

Now the water trays used in orchid cultivation are dazzling and have a wide range of specifications. The water tray used in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is relatively simple, rough made of recycled plastic, thin wall, not durable, easy to aging, slightly stressed and broken in 3-4 years, and less style. Cloud, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yu in the production of orchid special water basin can be described as more sophisticated, refined water basin wall thick shape, long-term use, the bottom of the plate is marked with anti-counterfeiting logo and patent number and so on.

The water basin is generally large, which can be made of galvanized sheet, stainless steel plate, aluminum plate, plastic plate and so on. The first three kinds can be welded, and the plastic plate can only use strong adhesive interface. Galvanized sheet with its protective layer protection and low price is the first choice. Stainless steel plates and aluminum plates are not resistant to corrosion and are not recommended for high prices. The plastic board joint must be firmly glued with strong glue to prevent leakage.

The edge of the water support basin is 10 cm high, and the maximum size is 80 × 165 cm. It is difficult to carry and is not convenient to use, and a galvanized sheet can be made into such a large water support basin, which will not cause a waste of materials. Leave 1-2 water nozzles on one side to store water for a long time, which can be blocked with a cork at ordinary times.

In short, the specific shape and size of the basin should be determined according to the needs of the environment.

The water basin can be placed on the ground, or it can be used at the lower part of the orchid frame 30-50 cm above the ground. Some orchid friends put the water basin directly into a row of red bricks, and then the orchid basin was placed on it. Want to increase the amount of evaporation through the rapid internal absorption of red bricks to increase the weight of air water molecules in order to achieve the purpose of air humidification. The humidification effect of this method is better than the former, but it is difficult to replace the stored water.

Due to the basin static time is too long will breed a lot of microorganisms, of which harmful microorganisms are naturally not a few, coupled with red bricks soaked in water easier to make microbial attachment, so the need for regular cleaning and sanitation. It should be noted that when using copper preparations, try not to come into contact with metal water basins to prevent corrosion.

The long-term water storage basin for the breeding of moss can be purified by Yilan bacteria.

Matters needing attention in the use of water trays

The water tray is required in use, not in any environment, and it is easy to use in any season. For example, in a better moisturizing environment, it will be counterproductive when used in the wet and rainy season, which will cause the plant material in the basin to hold too much water for a long time, affecting the permeability and leading to the phenomenon of stuffy roots. If the plant material is too fine and moisturizing, it is not easy to use the water basin, such as mountain mud, peat and so on.

The best environment for the use of water trays is to use semi-natural methods to plant unsealed small areas, such as balconies, courtyards and so on. It is beneficial to the planting and use of granular plants with strong permeability.

It is appropriate:

The main results are as follows: 1. It should be used in the cultivation of granular plants with strong permeability.

2. It should be used in a dry air environment.

3. It is appropriate to have foot orchid basin.

4. It is appropriate to absorb and transfer moisture internally.

Taboo:

1. Avoid the use of plant materials with strong moisturizing ability.

2. Avoid the occurrence of waterlogging.

3. Do not use it in the environment with strong sealing.

4. Avoid using it in the wet and rainy season.
