Remedial methods for stiff buds of potted orchids

Why do potted orchids sprout? There are many reasons for the emergence of rigid buds in potted orchids, for example, small buds do not spit roots and turn pots during the growing period, small buds have spit new roots and damage new roots, and the plant material fertilizer exceeds the needs of the orchid itself, resulting in the failure of small bud new roots to grow. if the mother grass has been fed with hormones (kinins), the plant material is unclean, especially greasy, the new buds are easy to harden or the new buds that are injured and fertilized by the mother grass are also stiff seedlings, but no matter what the cause is. It is necessary to take corresponding treatment measures, and the methods for treating stiff buds are as follows.

1. Do not turn the pot when potted orchids are planted. After thinning the tips of bamboo chopsticks, gently loosen the plant material of the stiff buds, then hold the false bulbs that sprout rigid buds steadily with one hand, and gently twist the rigid buds with the other hand, so that the rigid buds are in a semi-separated and semi-conjoined state, thus increasing the ability of rigid buds to be self-reliant.

2. The root growth points of pseudobulbs and stiff buds were first watered with 500-fold solution of orchid king, and then filled around the pseudobulbs and stiff buds with fine-grained plants soaked in root-promoting or orchid king diluent for 30 minutes. Diluents such as Root Promotion, Lanbao and Orchid King were applied every 7 days to promote the rapid rooting of stiff buds, enhance the growth vitality of stiff buds and promote them to spread their leaves.

3. For the saved stiff buds, because they are still growing weakly at this time, it is necessary to ensure appropriate light, temperature and humidity, provide a ventilated environment for the growth of orchids, apply timely and appropriate amount of water and fertilizer, and do a good job in pest control measures. when the next year, stiff buds can sprout.
