How to raise orchids?
There are many advantages of orchids mentioned above, but there are not many flower friends who raise orchids, mainly because everyone thinks orchids are not easy to raise. In fact, as long as you learn a few tricks, orchids are not so difficult to raise. How to raise orchids?
"1" is planted with more granular soil.
When it comes to raising orchids, the first problem we face is how to raise orchids and what kind of soil to use. The soil we usually use for orchids collected from empty valleys is humus. But the orchids raised at home are mostly soil with more granular soil. Why is this?
In fact, the roots of orchids belong to fleshy roots. Growing in an empty valley, the soil is hard to harden and airtight because it belongs to ground planting. It's not the same if you keep it in a flowerpot. The environment in the flowerpot itself is relatively closed, and the rotten soil is easy to harden after being used for a long time, which will affect the growth of orchid roots.
Therefore, orchids can be raised at home with a mixture of granular soil and humus, such as rotten bark, rotten pine needles and some humus.
Also, when planting, don't plant it too deep to prevent the root system from being airtight, and it is easy to accumulate water and rot roots.
The seedlings grow in the shade and bloom in the sun.
It is said that orchids don't like sunshine, because there is an old saying that orchids don't die. In fact, if orchids want to blossom, it is good to have more soft sunshine, because there is an old saying that "Yin grows seedlings and Yang blooms", which is the truth.
Orchids like cool and ventilated environment. If the sun is too strong, the leaves of orchids are easily sunburned. However, if orchids are not exposed to the sun for a long time, it is also very unfavorable for their flowering. So in winter or early spring, you can give orchids some morning sunshine, which is good for the growth of orchids, mainly because orchids "like morning sunshine and are afraid of sunset"
When the sun is strong at noon, you need shading to prevent sunburn. So usually in spring, you need to shade orchids, but not too seriously.
"3" Drought-tolerant and humid environment
The roots of orchids belong to fleshy roots and contain a lot of water, so orchids are more drought-resistant. But it also likes humid environment. The air is too dry to grow.
Therefore, when raising orchids, you need to wait until the soil is dry and then water it again to avoid water accumulation in the flowerpot and prevent the roots from rotting. In addition, when the weather is dry, you should always spray water around the flowerpot to create a humid environment, which will be conducive to the growth of orchids.
Because orchids like humid environment, ventilation management should be done well when raising orchids, because once ventilation is not good, hot weather is prone to high temperature and high humidity. In this case, orchids are prone to diseases and insect pests, leading to root rot or death of orchids, so it is very important to raise orchids for ventilation.
"4" Fertilizing orchids is different in different seasons.
When orchids grow, they also need proper fertilization to grow well and bloom more and more fragrant. When raising orchids, fertilization is different in different seasons. So how to fertilize specifically?
Fertilizing orchids in spring mainly uses nitrogen fertilizer, because orchids begin to grow at this time, and applying nitrogen fertilizer to orchids is beneficial to the growth of orchids. In May, the main fertilizer of orchids is phosphate fertilizer, which can promote the differentiation of orchid flower buds, thus promoting the flowering of orchids. The phosphate fertilizer used can be potassium dihydrogen phosphate or Huaduoduo 2.
Potash fertilizer is mainly used to fertilize orchids in September, because the temperature will turn cold in the northern region after September. In this case, applying potassium fertilizer to orchids can make the root system of orchids grow more vigorously and help orchids survive the winter smoothly. By June 5438+ 10, organic liquid was mainly used to prepare orchids for the smooth overwintering, and some nutrients were added before winter, so that they could overwinter and grow better in the coming year.
Concluding remarks
"If you raise orchids at home, your descendants will have virtue" mainly because orchids have a beautiful meaning, and there is a beautiful meaning: virtue, elegance, holiness and wealth. In addition, orchids are beautiful, but they are not easy to raise. If you want to raise orchids well, you need to cultivate your own mind and watch the moment when orchids bloom and smile.
These experiences of raising orchids themselves will also subtly infect future generations, so there is an old saying. Therefore, it is very reasonable to say that the words of our ancestors are not superstitious.
