Does the new gentleman orchid really need to be watered for three days?

The new gentleman in the basin is not allowed to pour a lot of water, and he has been pouring water for three days in a row, which will definitely make the root system of the gentleman orchid defective.

The root system and plant itself of Cymbidium contain a lot of water. After planting Cymbidium with moist soil, even if it is watered a week later, the plant will take root and grow normally. There is no need to pour water under the bottom of the basin, which is a completely wrong method of watering. We can do this for the newly potted magnolia plant.

First, watering as appropriate. When potting the magnolia plant, each person matches the nutrient soil humidity is different. First of all, it is necessary to ensure the permeability and nutrition of matching soil materials. If the nutrient soil is relatively dry, it can be watered once after it is put on the basin. It is usually enough to see water flowing out from the bottom of the basin, and then put the magnolia plant in a well-ventilated shady place for maintenance. The second watering usually takes half a month.

Of course, this should also be judged according to the material of the basin and the actual moisture of the soil in the basin. The aim is to dry rather than wet, it is reasonable to keep the water content of the soil between 40% and 50%. If the soil is moist, the planted plant can be watered once or not for a while, and watering after a few days of rest will not hinder the normal growth of the plant.

Second, the malpractice of overwatering. The root system of the newly planted orchid plant does not have a good absorption function for the time being, and the root system has not adapted to the surrounding soil environment. Therefore, there is no need for the soil to be too wet. If the soil is continuously watered so that the soil is always filled with water, the water will squeeze the air out of the soil. When the root system of Cymbidium is seriously anoxic and very humid, it is likely to cause waterlogging damage such as retting and rotting.

If the flowerpot used is a pottery tile pot with a better hydrophobic layer at the bottom, the soil in the pot will dry a little faster. If you use a plastic basin or a porcelain basin, because of its poor air permeability, the soil in the basin will dry slowly and cause damage to the root system of the orchid over a long period of time. Therefore, the new pot of gentleman orchid must not pour a lot of water. If the plant has rotten roots due to too much water, the loss outweighs the gain.
