How to raise roots of Clivia, Clivia root cultivation skills

Perhaps due to improper maintenance, the root system of Magnolia can easily rot, but how can the root system become developed in peacetime? The root-raising technique of Cymbidium is actually very simple, as long as you pay attention to soil, light, watering and fertilization, the root system can grow well.

1. Techniques for root conservation of Cymbidium 1. Soil suitability

How does the gentleman orchid take root? First of all, let's start with the soil. The soil for the cultivation of Magnolia needs the functions of fertility and looseness, air permeability and drainage, fertilizer and water conservation, and the most common soil preparation method is to add some rotten leaves and peat to the sandy loam soil as nourishment. Good soil can grow good roots, the choice of soil is very important.

2. Appropriate watering

The root system of gentleman orchid is fleshy root, water retention capacity is relatively strong, so usually do not irrigate too much water, it will easily lead to rotting roots. Water is watered once a week in spring and autumn, once every two or three days in summer and once every half a month in winter. However, the specific watering should be determined according to the actual situation. If the basin soil is wet, there is no need to water, but dry and then irrigate.

3. Reasonable lighting

Magnolia is a more shade-tolerant plant, usually can not accept strong light, otherwise it is easy to burn leaves. However, if it is shaded for a long time, it will lead to dim leaves, yellowing and weakness, and even no flowering. Gentlemen prefer the environment of low light, so it is appropriate to put it in a place where there is plenty of sunlight scattering indoors. As the plant grows sturdily, the root system will develop day by day.

4. Quantitative fertilization

The gentleman orchid likes fertilizer and needs fertilizer during the growth period. You can give the orchid every ten days to apply nitrogen-based cake fertilizer water, but must be an appropriate amount rather than less than more, once excessive fertilization will lead to rotting roots. Proper fertilization can make the roots grow better.

Second, although the rooting skills of Cymbidium are very simple to master, they sometimes encounter rotten roots and rootless conditions, and many flower friends think that such orchids can no longer survive and are discarded. In fact, as long as the branches and leaves of Cymbidium are not rotten, they can still be saved, and the technique of inducing roots and promoting roots is needed at this time.

1. Pruning and soaking

If the root and rot of the gentleman orchid, the first thing to do is to cut off all the rotten parts to prevent the rotten parts from spreading to the stems and leaves. Then allow carbendazim solution to soak for 20 minutes for disinfection and sterilization. Finally, leave the plant in a cool and ventilated place to dry, and when you see the roots turn white, you can plant it.

2. Wrapping water moss

In order to promote the rooting of Cymbidium, the root can be covered with water moss before planting. Soak the water moss in water for 10 to 20 minutes, remove the excess water, then wrap the root system of the orchid in the water moss, then replant it in the flowerpot, and finally keep it in a sun-scattered and ventilated place.

3. Maintenance and rooting

In the process of maintenance, if you find that the water moss becomes dry, you need to spray water immediately, but when you spray water, you only need to moisten the water moss slightly, if there is too much water, it will lead to root rot, let alone take root. If there is stagnant water, you have to discharge excess water. After a period of time, the orchid will grow its roots again.

Third, common problems in the maintenance of magnolia 1. Leaf decay

In the maintenance of magnolia, there is often the problem of leaf decay. The most likely reason is that when watering, the water is poured into the leaf core of the orchid, resulting in stagnant water in the leaf core. if it is not treated for a long time, it will lead to the phenomenon of rotten leaves. So be sure to pay attention to this when watering.

2. Will not blossom

Gentleman orchid in the leaves grow to 14 or more, generally speaking, it will blossom, if there is still no flowering, it means that you are not properly maintained. There are generally four reasons for not blooming: too high temperature, too strong or insufficient light, too much watering and too much nitrogen fertilizer. As long as you control these points well, they will generally blossom.

3. Change the basin every year

The root system of Cymbidium grows so fast that it needs to change the basin at least once a year, otherwise it will lead to poor growth. The most suitable season for changing pots is spring. When changing pots, you can trim the roots properly, remove the withered roots and replace them with fertile and loose soil, which can make the orchids grow and blossom better.
