Phalaenopsis orchid a lot of people are buying, after buying a very small number of people to raise well, is she really so difficult to raise? Have you ever thought that if he can breed and sell a large number of plants in China, it is certainly not a very difficult plant to raise, but we have not mastered the skills of maintenance in the process of maintenance, and it will be a problem to raise it as an ordinary plant. So if you want to raise well, Xiao Qi told you that there are 7 "taboos" for raising phalaenopsis orchids, as long as you keep in mind and do a good job according to the conditions, its leaves can be oily green, and it can bloom every year, and there is no need to buy it repeatedly.
1, do not use water moss
We buy phalaenopsis orchid are raised with water moss, water moss water retention performance is very good, if put into a well-ventilated environment, its moisture will be quickly evaporated, but indoors he has good water retention performance, the stored water can not be quickly dried, it is easy to cause rotten root situation, you can find a dry water moss to put into the water to soak it, and then take it out with your hands, it will definitely flow out a lot of water, under such conditions what plant roots are not rotten? It is definitely not good to raise Phalaenopsis orchids, why can it be raised well in greenhouses? Because the greenhouses are directly planted with very small pots, the greenhouse environment is ventilated on all sides, such conditions will dry up after a day or two of watering, it will certainly not rot roots, but in the home ventilation is not good, it is very slow to dry, will inevitably lead to the occurrence of silt root.
2, avoid large basins
Many flower friends buy phalaenopsis orchid planting when it directly to change it to a large pot, under this condition what environment is not good, because its roots are very thick roots, and we know that the orchid root system is similar, but its roots are weaker than the root system of orchids, there is not much root system, if you plant directly into the large pot, watering slowly will inevitably appear silt root situation. The condition he needs is that the water can dry quickly, and the soil can remain moist, such a pot is the best, so it is most reliable to plant phalaenopsis orchids in small pots and low pots. If you buy a 10 cm pot, you give him 12 cm, if you buy 12 cm, you use 15 cm, and so on.
3, avoid planting multiple trees together
There are many flower friends to buy Phalaenopsis orchids more than one pot, buy multiple pots at once, and then plant them into a pot, so that the flowering is very colorful and very beautiful, after you planted its flowers have bloomed, placed together is very beautiful, but have you thought about it, if he wants to grow in the later stage, is it suitable? It is certainly not appropriate, because the phalaenopsis orchid was cultivated in small pots before, the soil dried very quickly, you directly planted multiple trees together, after multiple trees planted together, the pots will definitely be used very large, for example, before the use of ten centimeters of pots, you planted two or three trees, you will use 15 or even 20 cm pots, plant five six trees You even use 30 cm pots, increase the volume of the pot, the soil inside will inevitably be more.
After more soil, the drying speed in the room will be much slower than before, and eventually there will be rotten roots and leaves. And each tree and each root system growth is not the same, the strength is not the same, according to the same conditions to water, its root system developed can grow very fast, the root system weak will appear rotten roots. Why don't merchants plant multiple trees together when they sell, and don't plant more trees together when they are cultivated in greenhouses and then sell them when they are flowering? Because it is difficult to raise multiple trees together in the greenhouse, even if they can be raised, they will not bloom very neatly, can not be neatly opened, which is a major reason. So raise you at home no matter how many trees you buy, try to plant one pot after another, use special soil for orchids, do not use nutrient soil, and do not use garden soil.
4, avoid excessive light exposure
Phalaenopsis orchid it is not like other flowering plants, in the flowering time to put under the sun to be able to flower and bloom more, long flowering period, it is a plant that likes to scatter light, when going to raise flowers in the greenhouse, it is used to shade the shade. So we must not put it under the sun in the family, if it is put under the sun, it is flowering will shorten the flowering period, if it has not yet bloomed, putting it under the sun will cause the flower stem to dry up, and even the leaves will yellow and stop growing. Of course, do not be too dark, if it is too dark, it will grow weakly, the flower buds will not differentiate, just need to be placed under the shelf, or see the light for two or three hours before nine o'clock in the morning, so that there will be no problems.
5, avoid dry breeding
A lot of flower friends at home to raise flowers afraid of rotten roots do not dare to water, but we raise Phalaenopsis orchid it belongs to the coarse root system, it requires that it must be moist soil, because its roots appear dry after the situation it can not be restored to full, will only dry this root and die, and its roots are not a lot, unlike the roots of Junzi orchid directly watered it can restore fullness, and finally we raise Phalaenopsis orchid due to frequent drought all its roots are dried up, no roots to absorb water and nutrients, Do you want it to grow it possible? If you want to raise well, try to ensure the wetness of the soil in the family, use small pots of good soil permeability, and water it in time when the soil surface is dry, so that it can make its root system grow full of pots, quickly absorb nutrients to grow new leaves, and quickly absorb nutrients to grow flower swords to flower.
6, avoid hypertrophy
The hypertrophy mentioned here is not to let us fertilize, but the concentration of fertilization should be smaller, do not do not have too much concentration of fertilizer, because the phalaenopsis root system is not very developed, and there is no capillary root, we use fertilizer after it can not be quickly absorbed, only by absorbing water at the same time to absorb nutrients, so if you go to fertilize when the fertilizer concentration is too large, resulting in his one-time coarse root absorption too much, itself coarse root is stored in the nutrients, and eventually there will be a situation of burning roots and burning leaves. We raise Phalaenopsis orchid fertilization to adhere to the principle of thin fertilizer and diligent application, fertilizer concentration is lowered a little, the number of times can be used several times, such as two to three times a month, the concentration is mostly in 1: 1000 to 1: 1500 can be.
7, avoid temperature is too low
Phalaenopsis orchid we can understand it as a warm-loving plant, if the temperature is lower than five degrees, it will appear frostbite or even rotten roots, the temperature above 15 degrees to be able to grow normally, normal to flower. So if you like to raise phalaenopsis orchids, make sure to put them in the right temperature position, do not too low temperature.
This is the 7 major taboos in the maintenance process of Phalaenopsis orchids, as long as you keep in mind the reasonable avoidance. The family raises small pots of low pots, with orchid special soil or peanut shells, bark and other soil blending, watering soil surface dried in time to water it thoroughly, see astigmatism do not expose to the sun, regularly add fertilizer to him two or three times a month, the concentration is lowered, so that we can grow normally at home, and in the autumn it can quickly differentiate flower buds, and they can see them blossoming in the winter New Year.
