Qingli looked at the headlines these days and found that many flower friends love and hate Phalaenopsis, hate is hated in Phalaenopsis at every turn to be raised into a season flower, after the flowers bloom to throw the trash can. In fact, according to the maintenance experience of Qingli, Phalaenopsis orchids are a very good flower, and if they are not raised, it is likely that the following points have not been done well.
1. The planting material should be suitable
Flower lovers who have purchased Phalaenopsis should know that the general commercially available Phalaenopsis planting material is different from the planting soil used by other flowers and plants, and the planting material they use is generally water moss with good moisturizing and breathability, which is actually to fit the growth characteristics of Phalaenopsis.
Phalaenopsis orchids belong to the orchid family, and their root system is the kind of fat fleshy root, which both absorbs water and fertilizes and breathes with fleshy roots. It is difficult for ordinary planting soils, even loose soils, to meet these requirements at the same time, especially respiratory requirements.
That's why Phalaenopsis uses moss, a moisturizing and breathable planting medium, to care for Phalaenopsis. Many flower friends do not know why, after purchasing, the original water moss is removed and planted in the general planting soil, and its root system cannot breathe smoothly at all, resulting in a large number of necrosis, and eventually endangering the plant.
Some flower friends may say that I planted plants and moss into general planting soil, and the results grew very well. Indeed, Phalaenopsis orchids in this state will also maintain vigorous growth for a period of time, because there is water moss at the root, and the root system can more or less breathe.
But after a long time, it will not work, because the water moss will always deteriorate, and the water moss buried in the soil will deteriorate faster. At that time, you will find out how the good Phalaenopsis leaves wilt, and a large number of aerial roots will also grow on the surface of the basin, which is actually a manifestation of a large number of necrosis of the bottom root system. When you start the plant, you will find that the Phalaenopsis root system is blackened and empty, and the original water moss is also yellow or even black and deteriorated.
At this time, if the Phalaenopsis is replaced with suitable planting media in time, Phalaenopsis orchids can still be easily re-induced to survive with new roots, especially plants with aerial roots, and it will be easier to survive. And suitable planting materials, in addition to water moss, there are many, such as rotten pine bark, peanut shell, coconut shell, sawdust, etc. organic soft planting materials, as well as inorganic hard planting materials such as vermiculite, plantstone, ceramic grains, broken red tiles, etc.
For organic planting materials, there are some nutrients in it, but the ability to fix the plant is lacking, and the inorganic planting material is the opposite, so if there is soft and hard planting material at the same time, it can be mixed up, so that it can both consolidate the plant and have certain nutrients. Of course, its moisturizing and breathability can also be guaranteed.
2. Fertilization should be thin
Many flower friends are also surprised, why the Phalaenopsis orchids that have just been bought back are very vigorous and bloom a lot, and the growth momentum after flowering is obviously not as good as before, the new leaves grow very slowly, and the leaves are also very thin and short. This is actually the reason for the lack of fertilizer, because in order to have a good selling appearance, merchants generally apply enough special nutrient solution to them in the breeding base. These nutrient solutions are enough to support them until they bloom, but after flowering, the nutrients are almost consumed, and the growth momentum of Phalaenopsis is naturally weakened.
Therefore, Phalaenopsis orchids are also to be fertilized, especially Phalaenopsis orchids after flowers, and Phalaenopsis orchids that are only cultivated with moss, ceramic grains and other plants that have no nutrients. However, pay attention to fertilization, fertilizer must be thin. As mentioned earlier, a large part of the root system of Phalaenopsis orchid is still breathing, coupled with the natural lack of root fertilizer tolerance, thicker fertilizer may directly "poison" root cells, and then it will not be scratched.
According to Qingli's conservation experience, Phalaenopsis actually uses the fermented rice water we usually store, watering them while fertilizing them, killing two birds with one stone. If you are afraid that the rice water has a peculiar smell, you can add some orange peel, you can well inhibit the production of peculiar smell, or use orange peel fermentation to take the clear liquid and water it, and there is a flavor smell.
It is mentioned here that if it is organic fertilizer such as rice water and orange peel water, it is no problem to use it diligently. In addition, if there are drainage holes at the bottom of the planting pot, it is actually no problem to water every day, because the coarse planting material will not accumulate water and damage the roots. And in winter, because of the heating in the north, the air is very dry during indoor maintenance, and they have to spray water on their leaves tomorrow.
Of course, Qingli found that the spray-type foliar fertilizer sold on the market now is also good, and it is very convenient to use, spray their foliage every week to make them grow strong.
3. Expose yourself more but in moderation
Many flower lovers may have a misconception that Phalaenopsis loves shade and heat. But Qingli has raised Phalaenopsis for so many years and found that Phalaenopsis orchids are only shade-tolerant, and they can't talk about yin. This can be seen from the obvious phototropism of their leaves. As for the fear of heat, in fact, they are originally native to the tropics, no matter how hot the summer day, they can still survive, and the longevity flowers, begonias, etc. under the same maintenance conditions will always die from time to time.
However, although Phalaenopsis is not afraid of heat, the sunlight here should be soft, and direct light like summer is a no-brainer, so it is easy to burn the leaves and burn spots. Light such as winter and spring is the most suitable for Phalaenopsis orchids, and in summer, either move to a shaded place such as indoors or under the shade of large plants, or simply pull a shade net for them.
4. Frost protection in winter
Speaking of which, the conservation of Phalaenopsis orchids is rarely "taboo", but the most taboo is "cold". Qingli originally raised a lot of Phalaenopsis, because the heating failure of the community the year before last and last year was stopped, and the Phalaenopsis orchids raised indoors were reimbursed a lot, which is really heartbreaking.
Phalaenopsis orchids are tropical flowers after all, so their minimum tolerance temperature is four or five ° C. Below this temperature for a short time, the plant stops growing, and frostbite spots such as water-soaked spots appear on the leaves. After a long time, the root system will freeze to death, and by then it will not be saved.
Therefore, the focus of Phalaenopsis orchid conservation is actually winter, if there are no corresponding warm conditions and measures, flower friends should dispel the idea of maintaining them as soon as possible. If the conditions are just met, try to keep them in a sunny place, at least during the day so that they can have a warm environment.
Well, the experience of Phalaenopsis conservation is introduced here, I don't know if it will help you or improve your view of Phalaenopsis? Welcome to leave your other suggestions or opinions in the comment area. Finally, Qingli once again thanks everyone for reading.
