How to rejuvenate the weak seedlings of orchids?

Many friends like to raise orchids, but in the orchid seedling stage is easy to appear weak seedlings, many people give up. In fact, careful care, let orchid weak seedlings rejuvenation is not difficult. Below, Kobayashi shares the method of rejuvenating orchid weak seedlings:

It is difficult to rejuvenate orchid seedlings. Practice has proved that in order to rejuvenate weak seedlings, all measures must conform to its growth law, patient maintenance with ordinary mentality, steady and slow, never too hasty. As long as the plant materials are selected and the management keeps up, the weak seedlings of orchids can be rejuvenated completely.

(1)Select a mixture of breathable, drained, nutrient-rich plants: plant material to mix plant material is better. It is better to use mixed plant materials containing sifted orchid mud for planting weak seedlings, accounting for 1/3, thick at the bottom and thin at the top, especially around the pseudobulbs, which should be covered with fine particles with a diameter of 3~5 mm, which is conducive to the growth of new roots of weak seedlings. Deep roots and luxuriant leaves, only the roots are well nurtured, weak seedlings can be rejuvenated, otherwise, everything can not be discussed.

(2)Orchid pot should be small, turn pot not too frequently: orchid weak seedlings, root system is not developed, in the pot should be small not big. It is difficult to dry out with large potted plants and weak seedlings, which easily leads to rotten roots and fallen seedlings. Weak seedlings grow slowly, should be static should not move, such as not see disease, can not turn over the pot, turn over the pot after the seedlings are difficult to grow.

(3)Appropriate and healthy seedlings with pot cultivation: practice has proved that the more robust the orchid plant, the more orchid bacteria around its roots, the more beneficial to the growth of orchids. But weak seedling its root system around orchid fungus mostly not active, orchid plant grows slowly. Therefore, in order to rejuvenate weak seedlings, it is best to find a "nurse" for her, that is, it is planted in a potted plant with healthy orchid seedlings, so that it grows in an active environment of orchid bacteria, and promotes growth with "strong" and "weak", with good results.

(4)Appropriate shade: weak seedlings should be shade not yang, scattering light is good, to be released when the leaves are slightly affected by morning oh, gradually exercise adaptation. Weak seedlings are suddenly exposed to strong direct sunlight and are vulnerable.

(5)Appropriate clean raise: weak seedling seedling growth weak, need fertilizer not much, dormancy period is so. "Empty without supplement", more fertilization will backfire. The general requirements for raising weak seedlings are partial dry literacy, plant materials should be dry but not dry, moist but not stained. Fat and wet, often difficult to root, or even do not root. Water can not be sprayed with water, generally not suitable for rain, otherwise easy to rot seedlings.

(6)Create suitable air humidity conditions: raise weak seedlings, air humidity should not be too high or too low, air relative humidity of 40%~70% is good.
