Maintenance methods of orchids in winter

In the maintenance process of orchids in winter, light is a very important link, the growth of all things depends on the sun, orchids are no exception. Next, let's learn how to maintain orchids in winter.

Winter light is very important. The Central Plains enters late autumn around November every year. In this season, most plants have stopped growing and entered the dormant period, and orchids are no exception.

In fact, the blue bud has already been formed in the autumn every year, and it takes a winter's gestation to break out of the ground in spring.

In winter, on the surface, the orchid has stopped growing and entered the dormant period, but in fact, subtle changes have taken place in the interior of the orchid basin, bud points and false scale balls are constantly expanding, and the root of the orchid is also growing slowly. At this time, we should not only let the orchid leaves receive full light, but also accept the direct sunlight of the orchid basin. Only in this way can we increase the temperature in the basin, promote light and function, and let blue buds and false scale balls accumulate more nutrients and thrive.

In this way, after a winter's gestation, the orchid bud has made full preparations for the unearthed in spring. Once it enters the spring, it will sprout not only early, but also easily grow strong seedlings.

Under the natural conditions in the Central Plains, it is not a problem to send two generations of strong seedlings a year. Because the south side of Xiaobian's orchid house is a wall more than 2 meters high, in winter, due to the oblique sunlight, some orchids in the south can not see the sun. So every year from November to April, the editor changes the orchid rack in the north into a ladder, so that the orchid basin can fully accept the direct sunlight. The editor has done a test. See the difference in temperature between the light basin and the invisible basin during the day by 3 to 5 degrees. Because it is a glass room, the sun room is heating up very quickly, so no matter during the day and night, as long as the lowest temperature is not less than 0 degrees, the editor opens a small part of the window, which not only keeps the ventilation, but also controls the temperature not to rise too high during the day. the temperature at night can come down and widen the temperature difference.

In this way, after full vernalization and direct sunlight, the orchid lays a good foundation for the growth of the next year.
