The gentleman orchid uses the sand to promote the root, enters the sand to water the shade to maintain.

In the process of cultivating Magnolia, the roots are often damaged and dried up, which is very upsetting. At this time, we have to take some measures. The method of promoting roots with sand is the most effective one. Put the treated roots into flowerpots, pour them into 3cm thick coarse sand, water them until the sand is soaked, and then put them in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. A month later, observe whether Magnolia grows new roots. If you grow 5 new roots, you can transplant them into the pot.

The method of using sand to root the gentleman orchid

First pour the 3cm thick coarse sand into the flowerpot, the root of the orchid should also be properly trimmed, after treatment, put into the flowerpot, fill the flowerpot with coarse sand, and then pour water to make the sand wet through. Then put it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, when the surface of the coarse sand dries, it needs to be watered again, if the coarse sand can not be found, fine sand can be used instead.

A month after the root treatment, it is necessary to check whether the orchid has grown new roots. if it is found that there are about 5 new roots, it means that the root of the orchid has survived healthily, and then the orchid can be transplanted into a pot.

Although the method of using sand to promote roots is the most effective, the roots are relatively fragile, so we must be extra careful not to apply fertilizer in the breeding process, because the soil itself has certain nutrients in it. If fertilizer is applied again, it will lead to overnutrition, which will inhibit the growth of plants.

Key points of Cymbidium culture 1. Preparation of nutritious soil

The soil used by the orchid must be fertile and breathable, so that it will be beneficial to the growth of the orchid. The soil can be prepared with rotten leaf soil, composting soil, river sand according to 6:2:1, or peat soil and Shahe according to the proportion of 7:3. Both methods can be used.

2. Watering in seasons

The root system of Cymbidium can store a lot of water, so its drought tolerance is relatively strong, so it must maintain sufficient water during the growing period, and then hand over water when the soil surface is dry, so as to prevent root rot. Seedlings, flowering period need a large amount of water, so often watering, higher temperature in summer, can increase air humidity every day, and often ventilated, which can promote the effective growth of Cymbidium.

3. Appropriate amount of fertilizer should be applied.

Too much fertilization will cause the root of Magnolia to rot, as long as the thin liquid fertilizer is applied every 15 days or so in the growing period, and phosphate fertilizer can be applied three times in the flowering period, which can make the flowers more colorful. When the summer temperature is too high, it will cause the orchid to stop growing, so it is necessary to stop fertilization to prevent excessive nutrition from burning the roots of the orchid.
