The correct method of watering orchids, the soaking pot method can quickly water through.
The orchid is handsome and straight, and it is more delicate, so it is necessary to use the correct method when watering. Generally, the most commonly used method is the soaking basin method, which can be well watered, and the watering can be properly controlled. It is best to water the orchid when the soil turns white, and the water temperature should be controlled in summer and winter so as not to cause damage to the plant.
1. Immersion basin method
There is no doubt that one of the correct ways to water orchids is the soaking basin method, which can avoid stagnant water to a certain extent if the amount of water can not be well mastered. First of all, the flowerpot should be placed in the water basin and flooded to the 3x4 of the basin, so that it is easy to pour water, which is more convenient and quick.
2. Sprinkler watering
In general, direct watering will cause too much watering, which will bring damage to the roots of the plant. if you use a spray can, you can effectively control the amount of water and have the least impact on the growth of orchids. You can aim the spout at the edge of the basin and let the water slowly seep into the soil. Slow down to prevent the water from overflowing from the basin.
3. Dry and thoroughly poured through
Generally speaking, watering orchids should not be too frequent, and its roots do not have a strong ability to absorb water. Once they cannot absorb them, they will cause rotting roots and inhibit their growth. It can be seen that when the plant pot soil surface whitens, it can be watered again, so that the water can be fully absorbed.
4. Control the water temperature
In winter, orchids also need to be watered, but the temperature is low, and cold water irrigation is easy to cause frost injury and damage to plants, so it is best to keep the water temperature close to room temperature and keep it at about 8 ℃ ~ 10 ℃. In summer, we also need to prevent the water temperature from being too high, and the temperature should be controlled between 15 ℃ and 28 ℃.
