The unique leaves and flowers of the Monarch Orchid give a sense of elegance and serenity. And like a gentleman, warm and noble, whether it is raised in the living room or the study, it can give people an elegant feeling. And the meaning is very good, it is "flowers bloom rich", so it is called "rich flowers".
However, sometimes we will encounter the situation that Junzilan has never had an arrow, which can make us feel confused and disappointed. So why doesn't Junzilan have flower arrows, and how to solve this problem?
1. The reason why Junzi Orchid does not have flower arrows
Unsuitable temperature: The growth of the orchid requires a suitable temperature environment. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the growth and flowering of the orchid.
Lack of light: Monarch orchids need adequate light to grow and bloom properly. If the light is insufficient, it will also affect the flowering of the long flower arrow of the monarch orchid.
Too little fertilization: Monarch orchids need adequate nutrients to grow and bloom properly. If the fertilizer is insufficient, or the fertilization is not reasonable, it will also affect the growth and flowering of the orchid.
Unsuitable soil: Orchids need a suitable soil environment to grow and bloom properly. If the soil is not suitable, it will affect the growth and flowering of the orchid.
Second, there is no way to solve the problem of Junzi Orchid
Control the temperature: If you want the orchid to bloom, you must first have low temperature vernalization. The optimal temperature for low-temperature vernalization of the orchid is above 20 degrees during the day and about 8 degrees at night, that is to say, the temperature difference between day and night should be kept at about 10 degrees, so that the orchid can successfully give birth to flower buds.
Although the orchid has a certain degree of cold tolerance and also needs low temperatures to promote the development of flower arrows and flower buds, it is still important to note that the low temperature is only to curb the growth of leaves, and too low a temperature will cause frostbite of the orchid.
Therefore, in the process of low-temperature vernalization of Orchid, it is necessary to strictly control the temperature to avoid frost damage caused by too low temperature.
After the vernalization of the orchid, place it in a suitable temperature environment and keep the temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C. If the temperature is too high or too low, you can use an air conditioner or heater to adjust the temperature.
More sunlight: Keep the orchid in a sunny place and receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight every day. If the light is insufficient, you can use a fill light to fill the light.
Pay attention to fertilization: During the growing period, regular fertilization, especially nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, should be applied to promote the growth and flowering of the orchid. You can use Hua Duoduo No. 2, which contains not only nitrogen to promote growth, but also phosphorus and potassium to promote flowering.
The right soil is important: Choosing the right soil environment is very important for the growth and flowering of the orchid. You can use a special orchid soil or mix some peat soil, perlite and other materials to make a suitable soil. Soil change is generally carried out in autumn or spring, both of which belong to the season of vigorous growth of the orchid, after changing the pot, it can be quickly potted, and then grow rapidly.
3. Precautions
Don't fertilize too much: While fertilization is important for the growth and flowering of the orchid, over-fertilizing may cause too much fertilizer to accumulate and cause harm to the orchid. Therefore, when fertilizing, it is necessary to use the method of applying thin fertilizer, and do not use raw fertilizer to prevent fertilizer damage and root burning.
The soil should be slightly dry: Frequent watering can cause the soil to become too wet, affecting the growth and flowering of the orchid. Watering should be decided according to the moisture of the soil and weather conditions, and the soil should be as dry as possible to prevent the orchid from growing leaves and not flowering.
Wait for the flowers to bloom: Sometimes it may take some time for the orchid to bloom, for example, the orchid within 3 years is not easy to flower, that is, the leaves are less than 12 pairs, and the false bulb is less than 3 cm, it does not bloom. So don't rush it, be patient and wait for the day when the flowers will bloom.
In short, it is not difficult to make the orchid bloom, only use some "big tricks", that is, you need to pay attention to the management of temperature, light, fertilizer, soil, etc., and appropriately increase the amount of watering and prune the branches, I believe that the orchid can still bloom in January.
