Autumn Management of Clivia

First, enter the room at the right time.

In order to make the orchid blossom normally, do not rush to move indoors in autumn, but should be treated outside at a low temperature of about 5 ℃ for about 10 days. During this period, less watering should be done, fertilizers should be stopped, and proper light should be given during the day. The gentleman orchid can endure the low temperature of about o ℃ for a short time, and the temperature of about 5 ℃ for a short time, so it will not be hurt. After low temperature treatment, it was moved indoors and maintained at 10: 15 ℃ without direct sunlight.

The second is to change the basin in time.

Raising large flowers in a small pot is not conducive to plant growth. According to years of experience, a 10 cm basin is used for 2 to 4 leaves, 13 cm for 5 leaves, 17 cm for 9 leaves, 23 cm for 13 leaves, and 27 cm for more than 17 leaves. do not use plastic pots, porcelain pots, south mud basins, it is best to use simple ceramic pots.

The third is to make a good pot of soil.

The magnolia basin soil had better use the mixture of rotten leaf soil, river sand and furnace ash at 6:2:2. If there is no rotten leaf soil, you can also use horse dung soil, river sand, furnace ash according to the proportion of 5:3:2 to prepare basin soil, not clay or alkaline soil.

The fourth is to break the bud and divide the basin.

If the adult gentleman orchid has a bud, if it already has 5 leaves, it is necessary to take advantage of the autumn to change the basin to break the bud, and the wound is smeared with charcoal powder or fine furnace ash.

Fifth, pay attention to fertilization.

The magnolia grows vigorously in autumn and needs a large amount of fertilizer. in addition to putting some fermented bean cake dregs, bone meal, fried hemp seeds or rabbit dung at the bottom of the basin as base fertilizer, you can also put some fried perilla, dried sesame seeds, pig blood powder and so on in the upper part of the basin soil. If possible, fermented bean cake water or fish water can be applied every half a month.

Sixth, control watering.

Compared with summer, the amount of water in autumn should be relatively reduced, the basin soil can be kept moist, not dry, do not water, the water is easy to rot roots.

Seventh, increase the light.

After that, the Beginning of Autumn wants to remove the summer sunshade facilities, so that the gentleman orchid can see as much sunshine as possible. If the room is overcast and there is too little sunlight, you can also supplement it with light for 1 hour or 2 hours. Red light is best, not white light.
