Can you water orchids by soaking willow sticks in water?

The water quality soaked in willow strips can be used to water orchids, because there are salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid in the water, which is very suitable for the growth and development of orchids. In addition to making the orchid grow more sturdy, it can also play the role of disinfection and sterilization, and can improve the probability of rooting during reproduction. Do not use too much at ordinary times, otherwise it will have a great influence on the acidity and basicity of the soil.

1. You can make orchids.

Willow twig water can be used to soak water to water orchids, and the effect is quite good. Orchids themselves are plant species that like to grow and develop in a slightly acidic environment, and willow strips contain salicylic acid and acetylsalicylic acid, which can meet the growth needs of orchids and promote the healthy growth of orchids.

2. Irrigation effect

The roots of orchids watered with willow branches grow stronger than those of ordinary orchids. The acidic substances can also play the role of disinfection and sterilization, reduce the probability of root rot and aphids, and increase the resistance of orchids. Adding willow twig water to the propagation of orchids can increase the chance of rooting.

3. How to use it

Before soaking in water, you need to pick out the tender, preferably new willow bark, and soak in cool white boiled or pure water for 5-6 hours. Some farmers will put willow sticks in airtight glass bottles and soak them in water for ten days and a half months to achieve the effect of ripening and fermenting.

4. Points for attention

In the process of watering orchids with willow water, we need to pay attention to the dilution of concentration, and in the process of use, not too frequently, otherwise it will have a great impact on the acidity and basicity of the soil. Water soaking in willow strips can not be used as the main fertilizer, but granular fertilizer, slow-release fertilizer, organic fertilizer and element compound fertilizer are the main fertilizer.
