Orchids are a very beautiful flower, so they are favored by many flower lovers. However, many people do not understand the life span of orchids. This article will introduce in detail the relevant knowledge about the life span of orchids and help everyone better maintain orchids.
The lifespan of different species of orchids varies. Different species of orchids have different lifespan. Some varieties of orchids can last for more than 20 years, while some varieties of orchids have a life span of only 3-4 years.
The growth environment of orchids has a great impact on their life expectancy. Orchids like a warm, humid and well-lit environment. If the growth environment is not good, it will affect the life expectancy of orchids. We must try our best to create a good growing environment to extend the life of orchids.
Appropriate fertilization can extend the life of orchids Appropriate fertilization methods and fertilizer types can provide sufficient nutrients for orchids, which is conducive to their growth and flowering, thereby extending their life. However, excessive fertilization will cause rot in the roots of orchids, which will instead accelerate the aging of orchids.
Pay attention to watering methods and timing. Proper watering is one of the keys to extending the life of orchids. Water orchids should be watered after the soil surface is slightly dry to avoid standing water and excessive watering. At the same time, tap water should not be used for orchids. It is best to use rainwater or purified water.
Pay attention to cleaning orchid leaves and flower stems. The dust on orchid leaves and flower stems should be cleaned every day to avoid being attacked by aphids and other pests. If there are diseases on orchid leaves and stems, treatment should be given promptly.
Avoid direct sun Orchids like warm environments, but they are also afraid of direct sun. If orchids are exposed to strong sunlight, they become vulnerable and shorten their lifespan. Provide proper shade for orchids.
Pay attention to changing pots. Generally speaking, orchids need to be changed pots once a year to ensure the health and growth of their roots. If it exceeds the time to change the pot, it will affect the life span of the orchids. However, the time to change pots should not be too frequent, and it is best to keep an appropriate time interval.
Appropriate pruning can extend the life of orchids Properly pruning of orchid leaves and stems can promote the growth of orchids, increase the opening time of flowers, and thereby extend their life. But be careful not to cut too much to avoid affecting the normal growth of orchids.
Avoiding parasite damage is a big problem in the growth of orchids, which not only affects the appearance of orchids, but also affects their life expectancy. We should prevent orchids in time to avoid the occurrence of parasitic harm.
Choose high-quality seedlings When purchasing orchid seedlings, you should choose high-quality seedlings. Because the quality of seedlings determines the survival rate and life span of orchids. Therefore, when purchasing seedlings, you must choose guaranteed merchants and varieties.
Pay attention to the reproduction of orchids. The reproduction of orchids is one of the important means to extend their life. Methods such as rationing and grafting can be used to reproduce to increase the number of orchids and provide a strong guarantee for extending their life.
Avoid excessive manipulation Orchids don't like to be moved and fiddled with frequently, as this will interfere with their normal growth and may even cause leaves to fall off. We should try to minimize interference and manipulation with orchids.
Handle problems with orchids in a timely manner If problems with orchids are found, such as yellowing leaves, wilting flowers, etc., they should be dealt with in time to avoid affecting their life. At the same time, maintenance and maintenance must also be carried out in a timely manner.
Make good use of technological means and modern technological means can provide strong support for the growth of orchids, such as using LED lights for illumination and using intelligent watering systems. These technical means can provide strong support for orchids to extend their life.
The life span of orchids is affected by many factors. Only by comprehensively considering factors such as growth environment, fertilization, and watering can the life span of orchids be extended. I hope this article will have certain reference value for everyone to understand and maintain orchids.
