Two tricks to put an end to the phenomenon of empty roots in orchids

In the process of turning and changing the pots of orchids, people often encounter the situation that the orchid root looks clean and complete on the surface but empty inside, which is commonly called the empty root of orchid.

The root cause of the empty root of orchid is caused by the loss of water in the dry environment for a long time. To put an end to the empty roots of Lan Miao must prescribe the right medicine to the case. specifically, there are two measures.

First, fully watered and put an end to half of the water.

Watering orchids is not only a basic skill of Yilan, but also a difficult problem to master, but it is difficult to water half of the water. The so-called half-cut water means that the moisture of the plant material in the upper part of the orchid basin is moderately moist while the lower part is dry. This is the crux of the problem that causes the empty root of Langen.

There are two ways to stop this phenomenon:

First, to water the orchid repeatedly several times, do not stop watering at the sight of the running water at the bottom of the orchid basin. In fact, sometimes when the orchid is watered a little, the water flows out from the bottom of the orchid basin, but the internal plant material is dry. Therefore, it is necessary to repeatedly pour several times to ensure that the plant material is fully moist.

The second is to use the sitting basin (soaking basin) method to water. That is, put the orchid basin in the container holding water, so that the height of the surface of the basin soil is basically the same as the height of the water surface in the container, so that the water slowly up from the bottom of the basin fully moisturizes the plant material. This method of watering is the most uniform and sufficient.

Second, the plant material should be adjusted evenly to ensure that the potted soil is in full contact with Langen.

If the ancient spectrum cloud does not touch the earth, its root is empty. It is indeed speaking from experience. Practice has proved that the basin soil is not in full contact with Langen for a long time, and the Langen loses water in the air, which is bound to appear the phenomenon of empty root.

Based on this, this requires Yilan people to fully adjust the plant materials when planting orchids and add them in the order of large, medium and small particles, and each additional layer of plant material should gently pat the basin wall to make full contact between the basin soil and the orchid root. After finishing the basin, the basin (soaking basin) method is used to irrigate the water; further increase the contact surface between the orchid root and the plant material, and then be included in the daily management, if managed properly, the orchid empty root phenomenon can be effectively avoided.
