How to deal with the wind and rain orchids after fade, pruning the residual flowers to accumulate nutrients to promote the next flowering?

The wind and rain orchid is a very unique flower, which is like a clump of weeds before it blossoms, but it will look very good after it blossoms. as for how to deal with the wind and rain orchid, the best way is to prune it after the flower fails, which can not only promote the opening of the next batch of flowers, but also promote the bulb of the wind and rain orchid.

First, the treatment methods of wind and rain orchids after fade. 1. Pruning to promote flower growth

The flowering period of wind and rain orchids is between May and October, during which the flowers will continue to bloom about 5 or 6 times, and there will be a certain interval between each flowering. If the previous batch of flowers have failed and do not have any ornamental value, it is necessary to prune the residual flowers in time, which is beneficial to the next flowering and prolong the flowering period as a whole.

Prune the flowers whenever they fail, which can not promote the blooming of the flowers, but also promote the growth of the bulbs of the wind and rain orchids. After the flowers have withered completely, some of their new bulbs can be dug up and transplanted to other potted soil. This is a new pot of wind and rain orchids.

2. Controlling water to promote flowering

After the complete failure of the orchid in the wind and rain, in addition to cutting off the abortive branches, it can also blossom again by controlling the water. Don't water the flower after blooming, let it suffer from drought, wait until the soil is dry, and then water it thoroughly at a time, so that it will blossom again soon. Know how to deal with the wind and rain orchid, and then take a look at the maintenance skills to make it blossom.

Second, the maintenance skills of making wind and rain orchids blossom more. 1. Sufficient light

When the wind and rain orchid grows into a bud, it needs to be given sufficient light, which can promote flower bud differentiation and photosynthesis can accumulate nutrients needed for flowering. If the lack of light will cause the branches and leaves to grow without flowers, be sure to let the wind and rain orchids receive light before flowering.

2. Topdressing fertilizer

Because flowering requires a lot of nutrients, so in addition to the need for fertile potted soil, but also need to apply some fertilizer properly. If you want to promote flowers, it is best to apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer one month before flowering, which can strengthen the roots, promote flower bud differentiation and bloom more.

3. Cutting leaves to promote flowers

If the wind and rain orchid does not blossom for a long time, you can cut off its leaves, then cut off the water, wait until the potted soil is dry, and then pour it thoroughly with ice water, which will stimulate the wind and rain orchid to reproduce and blossom after a period of time.

Matters needing attention in breeding wind and rain orchids 1. Pay attention to maintenance

Wind and rain orchid is more drought-resistant, usually can not water too much, otherwise it will not blossom. And during the growth period, additional light is needed to promote growth and flowering. Wind and rain orchids can be propagated all year round and can be carried out with ramets or bulbs. As long as the temperature is kept above 15 ℃, it is easy to survive.

2. Change the basin every year

In the conservation of wind and rain orchids, it is best to change the basin once a year, because the wind and rain orchids grow faster, need to change pots to ensure that the bulbs have enough room for growth, when changing pots, put on fertile new soil, and add appropriate amount of base fertilizer to the soil. more conducive to plant growth. Ramet propagation can also be combined with changing pots.
