1. Conservation skills of Guanyin orchids 1. Selection of potted soil

The flowerpots needed by Guanyin had better be loose and breathable, which is good for drainage. Mud pots, pottery pots and purple sand pots are commonly used, as well as orchid special soil, which is generally made of several mediums, such as small stones, bark plus humus soil and peat soil.

The water storage capacity of Guanyin orchids is very strong, and it is relatively resistant to drought and waterlogging. In spring and autumn, water is usually watered 2 to 3 times a week; in summer, water can be watered once a day to protect the substrate from moist but not stagnant water; and less water is watered once a week in winter. Water less when the temperature is low or on cloudy and rainy days.

Guanyin likes yin and is sensitive to light, so it can not accept direct light at ordinary times and needs proper shading. Generally speaking, Guanyin can receive mild sunlight in the morning and evening. The sun at noon or in summer is so strong that it is easy to burn the leaves. It is best to put it in a place where the sun is scattered.

The most suitable temperature for Guanyin growth is between 18 and 30 ℃. When the summer temperature is higher than 30 ℃, it is necessary to give Guanyin proper shade and put it in a cool and ventilated place to spend the summer. When the winter temperature is lower than 5 ℃, Quan Yin will grow very slowly. You must keep it indoors to avoid frostbite and death.

5. Rational fertilization

Orchids prefer fertilizer. During the growth period, nitrogen fertilizer can be applied every half a month, while phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied before flowering to promote flowering.

2. Ramet propagation

Select a suitable parent plant of Guanyin, then separate part of the root system to remove, carefully cut off the rotten roots and leaves, clean the root system with water, put it in a cool place to dry, and then put it on the pot. Because the ramet has roots, the plantlets separated in a week or so can grow normally.

Guanyin is easy to suffer from white silk disease during the rainy season. After the disease, the basin soil that has been infected with germs should be replaced in time, and then sprinkled with lime powder for disinfection. At ordinary times, it is necessary to increase light transmission and ventilation to maintain good spray drainage to prevent diseases.
