Do you need a basin of water for orchids outside in summer?

Has entered the hot summer, orchids are very prone to problems, orchids raised outdoors, due to the summer high temperature and stuffy air is not ventilated, and the air humidity is too dry, maintenance operation is more difficult. When we raise orchids in summer, we must do a good job of shading it, cover it with a sunshade net, or put it at the bottom of a tree to keep the soil moist, ensure good ventilation, and give it a little more air humidity. in order to make it grow well in summer leaves, there will not be dry leaves or even leaf spots.

The other three points mentioned just now are relatively easy to control, but increasing humidity is not easy to control. Some flower friends will choose to get a water basin for it, and then squat the whole flowerpot inside to increase air humidity, because the high temperature and water evaporates quickly in summer. The humidity from evaporation to the leaves of orchids can effectively improve the humidity of the orchid culture environment. This method is feasible, but you must pay attention to it when you do it.

First of all, we can put water in a basin and squat the whole orchid pot inside, but remember, the water level should not go beyond the bottom of the orchid pot, otherwise, the water will always be at the bottom of the orchid basin, high temperature and muggy heat. The root system at the bottom of the orchid will be stuffy and rotten. We can choose to plant the orchid with a high pot. When adding water, do not let the water surface come into contact with the bottom hole of the basin. This has a certain degree of air permeability, water in the basin can increase the humidity of the air. If you do not plant with a high-footed basin, you can put a brick under the bottom of the basin, and then add water to the basin so that the water level does not pass the brick. In this way, through the method of water basin, we can effectively increase the air humidity to the orchid, so that your orchid can grow well in the high humidity environment, the high temperature and muggy heat will not be a problem, and the leaves will not have dry leaves or even leaf spots.

Another method is that we can splash water on the ground every day to increase air humidity, increase air humidity and at the same time cool down. This is also a feasible method. Summer is hot and stuffy and not ventilated. Try not to spray water on the leaves. Leaf spraying can easily cause spots on the leaves, or even rotten leaves. If the temperature is high in summer, if the temperature of the water used is low, it will cause spots on the leaves, and if it is not properly controlled by spraying water, it is also easy to cause rotten leaves, and even make its roots rot, so increase the humidity. Use the first two methods. If you are growing indoors, you can also use the water basin method, but you must ensure good ventilation, you can open windows for ventilation, or you can add an electric fan to it, so that you can often blow it with a fan for a few hours a day. It can also increase the flow of air to ensure that it does not have rotten roots.

Xiaoqi's orchids are raised under flower shelves, which can serve as shade, and each pot is covered with bricks, and then the ground is all wet, there is always humidity, to ensure good ventilation, so that it can grow all the time. and several of Xiaoqi's orchids grow into buds to blossom. It is not difficult to raise orchids in summer. most orchids grow buds in summer, and flower bracts will be unearthed directly in autumn, so you can fertilize it in summer. sprinkle it with fertilizer with high phosphorus and potassium content on the surface of the pot soil, and regularly sprinkle it with potassium dihydrogen phosphate a month, it can effectively help it to differentiate flower buds, let flower buds quickly unearthed, and then ensure good ventilation. Your orchids will not have any problems in summer. Make sure the soil is not too wet, and the novice can also raise orchids well.
