Do you know the four taboos of raising orchids for the first time in families?
1. Do not use large pots to grow small plants
The disadvantage of using too big basin is that there is more plant material in the big basin, less water is sprinkled outside and not wet inside, and the root can not eat water. If the water is sprinkled too much on the outside and inside, the plant is easy to rot and the root will go bad. You think that if there is more plant material, there will be more nourishment, but you are wrong.
2. Avoid excessive use of fertilizer
Fertilizer can promote the growth, growth and flowering of orchid plants, but don't think that sprinkling fertilizer will have the effect as you want. The utility of fertilizer should be brought into full play in accordance with other conditions and should also be used in an appropriate amount. In a word, you should use a light fertilizer, otherwise ask someone with experience to guide you. There are many cases in which beginners use too much fertilizer and die of fat injuries.
3. Avoid watering
Beginners love the growth of flowers and want to water them when they see them. I am afraid that there is not enough water for orchids to eat. I know this is love, but wrong, it only needs moderate water, and sometimes it needs to dry for a while. If you think there is enough water, but the leaves are dehydrated, then either the roots are broken, or the wind is too much (air-dried), that is, there is not enough humidity in the air.
4. Avoid planting too deeply.
Planting flowers too deep is also a common fault for beginners, thinking that only by burying the plant head in the plant material can it absorb nutrients, or plant deeper for fear of instability, so that the plant can stand. Both of these practices are wrong, and the right thing is that the head of the orchid plant should be exposed on the basin surface to avoid smoldering and new buds to rot. The first plant of Magnolia should be fixed with rope or pillar when it is unstable.
