Why are domestic orchids afraid of being caught in the rain and wild ones not afraid of getting drenched?
In essence, there is a difference between domestication and the wild. first of all, once we enter the house and are raised by us, they are no longer wild flowers and plants. With care and care, they place certain expectations on the nature of flowers and plants, which are naturally more expensive than those in the wild. Let's not say whether it is afraid or not. Anyway, as its owner, it is already afraid of it, speaking of which. Can not help but think of a sentence can well prove: there is a kind of cold is that my mother thinks you are cold, in this respect, we also play the role of this mother, for the wild, no one will worry about whether it is afraid or not, the law of nature is that the strong survive and the weak are eliminated, and those who grow thin and go west are not absent, but no one cares about it, this is an emotional statement, however, the real situation is Domestic and wild are not the same, let's take a look.
1. The environment is different. For a wild orchid, it grows on a vast land and has a free growth space and a wide land. Although it cannot run to find a place suitable for its growth, however, in those particularly uncomfortable environments, it cannot sprout and survive. After a round of cruel elimination, the environment that can grow can be said to be a suitable environment. The plant itself has its own function of regulation. For example, if the weather is dry, its roots will go deeper to find water. When there is a lack of fertile nutrients, the roots can also grow in a more fertile direction. If the conditions are not particularly bad, it can meet its own needs through these adjustments, but not by domesticated ones. The root system is confined to the flowerpot, and the basic environment is no different. The regulation function is also limited, and the self-resistance is also decreased due to the limitation of the root system, which is the main reason why domestic plants are not as drought-tolerant and barren as wild plants.
2. Inclusiveness is different, and this is still due to limited growth. Imagine how the size of domestic potted flowerpots can be compared with the vast land. In small flowerpots restricted on one side, the storage of water is limited, and it is easy to accumulate water. Less prone to drought, the earth is different. For example, in the view of the earth, even if plants are watered, it has a very small chance of stagnant water. Water can penetrate into the depths of the ground, and when the plant needs it, it can be absorbed by the extension of the root system. In fact, the root system in the pot is the same. Helplessly, it cannot break through the barriers of the pot and go to the earth. Relatively speaking, wild orchids take the earth as a mother, which is inclusive and not easy to accumulate water. Naturally, it is okay to be caught in heavy rain. Domestic orchids are in charge of the pot, and if they are drenched too much, there will be stagnant water. It is easy to cause root rot.
3. The place where you grow is different, and this also has something to do with the environment, but we are talking about the conservation of the environment. Orchids in the wild grow in the mountains, surrounded by trees, good natural conditions, high air quality, and Rain Water is pollution-free. Housekeeping is different. Many friends are in bustling cities, or surrounded by factories and mines, that is, pure dark clouds floating overhead. Rain Water, who goes down to the ground, has also been polluted in the process of wandering in the sky, and may have become the legendary acid rain. Such water drenched on the orchids is naturally harmful compared with the pure Rain Water in the wild.
In conclusion, in fact, orchids are not afraid of rain, as long as Rain Water is not polluted, be careful not to cause stagnant water, some rain can also make it grow more exuberant, the so-called fear of rain, in fact, is only afraid of polluted rain. I'm not afraid of getting drenched.
