How can we make the orchid root strong? Two kinds of useful Orchid plants
If orchids want to grow well, they must first grow roots, as flower growers all know, because orchids are organs that absorb and store water and nutrients. Only when orchids are strong can they absorb and store more water and nutrients to supply orchid leaves. Only when orchids are rich in nutrients, can orchids sprout more, seedlings strong and flowers multiply.
So the question is, how can we make the orchid root strong? Senior Lanyou said: if you want the orchid root to grow strong, planting material is the foundation, and watering management is the key. Here are two kinds of excellent media which have been proved to be effective by Lanyou's repeated practice.
1. Waste materials
The waste mushroom material after cultivating mushroom, mushroom, fungus and other edible fungi is a good medium for cultivating orchids. Because it is made of rice stalk and cow dung, its waste bacterial material is soft and breathable and rich in fertilizer.
The waste fungus material orchid has the following advantages:
Easy to draw materials, soft and light, not easy to hardening, strong water permeability, good water storage and fertilizer conservation performance, the orchid root system is developed, the root is thick and white.
The orchid seedling is strong, the leaf is broad and thick, the leaf color is thick green, the leaf color is bright, the flowering bud rate is high, the flower is big, the florescence is long, the potted surface weed is few, the incidence is low.
2. Bricks
Brick grains are divided into green brick grains and red brick grains. Green bricks are made of better clay and fired with firewood and mountain grass. nowadays, few people burn such green bricks, but the old green bricks abandoned in ancient buildings can be used. It will be hammered into particles as planting material, this kind of old green brick after years of weathering, moderate water absorption.
Red brick grain contains a lot of coarse sand, mixed with pulverized coal during preparation, the fire gas has not been dissipated, and the sulfur is extremely heavy. Red bricks are often used in modern buildings, and the new red bricks are angry; the old red bricks are less angry, but the alkaline substances are heavy, so you can soak the bricks in water for a few days, change the water once a day, and drop some vinegar in the water to neutralize alkalinity to remove the alkaline substances and anger in the bricks.
The brick grain itself has more stomata, so it has strong water absorption and permeability and fast drainage. With its orchid planting, the orchid root will not turn black, and Ye Yilan will not perform. The proportion of brick particles in the plant mixture should be 20% to 30%.
Although the Zhuanglangen plant material shared by Lanyou is not easy to find, the effect is still good. As long as you really love Lan, there is no problem with what is difficult to find. If you have a better way, you are welcome to share it in the comments to benefit more people.
