Orchids, their elegant greenery and fresh fragrance, always make people happy. But friends who raise orchids, have you ever worried about whether it survives? Don't worry, I'll teach you a few tricks today so that you can see at a glance whether orchids are alive healthily! 1. Observe the leaves. Color is the key
. The color and luster of the orchid leaves are an important basis for judging whether it is viable. The surviving orchids have green, shiny leaves, and look tender and vibrant. For those orchids that have not survived, the leaves are dull, dull, and even look listless. Especially the young leaves in the middle can be seen at a glance whether they are alive or not. 2. Shake the roots and feel the fit.
After planting orchids, after twenty days to a month, you can gently shake them close to the plant material. If the orchid does not survive, you will obviously feel that the root and the plant material are not tightly attached when shaking, and you can shake it with just a shake. If the orchid has survived, when you shake it, you will feel that the root and the plant material are integrated and closely attached, either moving together or not at all. 3. Pay attention to the crystal head. The secret
The root tip of orchids has a special place called the crystal head. Living orchids have many white crystal heads growing on their roots, which is the most remarkable sign of the survival of orchids. Although it is not easy for us to observe the crystal heads of orchid root tips, we can also make judgments based on the growth status of orchids. 4. The false bulbs are full and have sufficient nutrients. The false bulbs of orchids are organs that store water and nutrients, and are also the source of nutrients for the growth of roots and flowering of orchids. The pseudo-bulbs are plump and plump, indicating that the orchid grass has sufficient storage of nutrients, and the orchids will surely grow well. So, if you find that the false bulb of an orchid is full, it means that it has survived and is growing vigorously. 5. New buds germinate. After the vibrant orchids survive, new buds will gradually germinate. After turning the pot in spring and autumn, if the orchids planted in the pot do not survive for a long time, you can judge by observing the condition of the orchid roots. The surviving orchid plants have developed root systems and much germinated crystal heads. Moreover, a more accurate judgment can be made from the situation of germinating leaf buds. 6. During the serving period, wait patiently for the orchids to have an adaptation period after the pot is moved, which is commonly known as the serving period. During this period, orchids need some time to adapt to the new environment. Generally speaking, the serving period is as short as 3 months to as long as one year. Fertilizer cannot be applied during the first three months of transplantation, because the orchids at this time have no new roots and fertilization will lead to their death. 7. Precautions, careful care In the process of raising orchids, there are still some precautions that you need to pay attention to: 1. Choose the right orchid variety, understand the types and requirements of orchids, and choose the variety that suits your own planting conditions.
2. Providing suitable light, orchids prefer bright environments, but cannot be directly exposed to strong sunlight.
3. Controlling the appropriate temperature, orchids have higher temperature requirements, and the general suitable growth temperature is 20-30 degrees Celsius.
4. Providing the right humidity, orchids prefer a humid environment but do not like standing water.
5. Fertilize and water, provide the nutrients and water needed by orchids through timely fertilization and watering.
6. Do a good job in controlling orchid pests and diseases, regularly inspect and take corresponding control measures.
7. Ensure suitable growth media for orchids and use media suitable for orchid growth, such as legular soil, peat, perlite, etc.
Raising orchids is actually like taking care of a child, which requires patience and care. As long as you master these methods, you believe that your orchids will survive healthily and bloom beautiful flowers!
