As a precious flower, orchids are deeply loved by people. However, during the growth of orchids, one phenomenon is often encountered, that is, orchids are old and do not adapt to the pot. This means that orchids cannot adapt to the potted environment, causing growth difficulties and even death. This article will reveal the reasons why orchids are not ready to live in pots and provide effective solutions so that orchids can grow healthily and healthily.
1. The soil quality is inappropriate-affecting the soil quality required by orchids to absorb nutrients and drain orchids is the key. If the soil quality is not good, it will make it difficult for orchids to absorb nutrients and poor drainage. Solution: Select special soil for orchids with good air permeability and good water retention.
2. Inappropriate lighting conditions-affect the photosynthesis and growth of orchids. Orchids are sun-loving plants. If they are in a dark and humid environment for a long time, photosynthesis will be blocked, which will cause orchids to fail to grow normally. Solution: Place orchids in sufficient sunlight and ensure at least 6 hours of sunlight every day.
3. The temperature is too high or too low-affects the growth and flowering of orchids. Orchids have certain temperature requirements. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the normal growth and flowering of orchids. Solution: Keep room temperature between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius to avoid long-term exposure of orchids to extreme temperature conditions.
4. Improper water management-causing rot or drought in orchid roots Water management is a crucial part of orchid growth. If water management is not properly managed, it will cause rot or drought in orchid roots. Solution: Pay attention to controlling the amount and frequency of watering to avoid stagnant water or excessive dryness.
5. Improper use of fertilizer-affects the growth and flowering of orchids. Orchids need appropriate amount of fertilizer to provide nutrients, but if fertilizer is used improperly, it will lead to poor growth and blocked flowering of orchids. Solution: Choose the fertilizer suitable for orchids and follow the instructions to fertilize correctly.
6. Invasion of pests and diseases-Healthy orchids that damage orchids are vulnerable to pests and diseases, such as powdery mildew, red spiders, etc. These pests and diseases can damage the health of orchids and cause them to become old. Solution: Regularly inspect orchids and take corresponding control measures if pests and diseases are found.
7. Insuitable potted environment-The inappropriate potted environment affects the growth of orchid roots is also one of the reasons why orchids are not used to potted. Too small or too large a potted plant can affect the growth of orchid roots. Solution: Choose the right pot suitable for the growth of orchids to ensure that the root system of orchids can develop well.
8. Plants are too dense-competition for nutrients and space If the plants between orchids are too dense, orchids will compete for nutrients and space with each other, affecting the growth and development of orchids. Solution: Transplant orchids at intervals in a timely manner to ensure that each orchid has enough growth space.
9. Injury to orchid roots-affects the absorption ability of orchids. Injury to orchid roots is also one of the reasons why orchids are old and unable to adapt to the pot. If the root system of the orchid is accidentally damaged during transplanting or other operations, it will affect the absorption capacity of the orchid. Solution: Be careful when operating to avoid causing damage to the roots of orchids.
10. Lack of proper pruning-Affecting the branching and growth of orchids Moderate pruning of orchids can promote branching and growth, but lack of proper pruning can lead to obstruction of orchid growth. Solution: According to the growth of orchids, prune them in a timely manner to maintain the health and good shape of orchids.
11. Improper selection of orchid varieties-Poor adaptability Different varieties of orchids have different adaptability to the environment. If you choose an orchid variety that is not suitable for your own cultivation environment, it will also cause the orchids to become old and disobedient. Solution: Choose an orchid variety that suits your cultivation environment and improve the adaptability of orchids.
12. The end of the orchid growth cycle-Orchids need to be changed or bred. There is a certain growth cycle. When the growth cycle ends, the pot needs to be changed or bred, otherwise the orchids will become old and disobedient. Solution: According to the growth cycle of orchids, change pots or reproduce them in time to maintain the healthy growth of orchids.
13. Lack of scientific maintenance and management-inability to provide a good growth environment If the maintenance and management of orchids is not scientific and cannot provide a good growth environment, it will also lead to orchids being old and unable to adapt to the pot. Solution: Learn scientific knowledge of orchid conservation, reasonably arrange the growth environment of orchids, and provide good conditions.
14. Lack of patience and care during the maintenance process-resulting in improper operation and lack of patience and care during the maintenance process is also one of the reasons why orchids are old and refuse to accept the pot. If the operation is not careful enough, it will lead to improper operation, which will affect the growth of orchids. Solution: Be patient and careful during the maintenance process of orchids, pay attention to details, and avoid damage to orchids due to negligence.
15. There are many reasons why orchids are old and refuse to serve the pot, but as long as we understand these reasons and adopt corresponding solutions, we can help orchids overcome difficulties and thrive. Through appropriate soil, light, temperature, water management, fertilizer use, pest control and other measures, we can make orchids grow healthily and enjoy their beauty with pleasure.
