Orchid grass is a beautiful plant, but cultivating orchid grass also requires certain skills. Among them, watering is a very important part. Correct watering methods can make the orchid grow vigorously, but if watering improperly, it will lead to the death of the orchid. Therefore, this article will introduce in detail the watering methods and matters needing attention for orchid grass.
1. Understanding the growth environment of orchid grass Before mastering the watering method of orchid grass, we need to first understand the growth environment of orchid grass. Orchid grass is native to tropical and subtropical regions and usually grows in high temperature and high humidity environments. When raising orchid grass at home, this environment needs to be simulated so that the orchid grass can grow healthier.
2. Orchid grass likes a humid environment Orchid grass is a plant that likes a humid environment, so it is necessary to ensure the humidity of the soil when watering. However, excessive watering can also cause rot in the roots of orchid grass, thus affecting the growth of orchid grass. You need to know the right amount of watering.
3. watering orchids according to the growth cycle. The growth cycle of orchids is generally divided into growth period, dormant period and flowering period. In different growth cycles, different watering methods are needed. For example, more water is needed during the growing period, while less watering is needed during the dormant period.
4. The frequency of watering orchids The frequency of watering is one of the important factors affecting the growth of orchids. Generally speaking, in environments with high temperatures and high humidity, orchid grass needs to be watered 1-2 times a week. In environments with lower temperatures and lower humidity, orchid grass can be watered every 2-3 weeks.
5. Pay attention to the temperature when watering. When watering, pay attention to the temperature of the water. If the water temperature is too low, it will cause damage to the roots of the orchid grass, which will affect the growth of the orchid grass. Use room temperature water when watering, and avoid using too cold or too hot water.
6. Avoid flooding when watering. Excessive watering will cause the roots of orchid grass to rot. Therefore, attention should be paid to avoid flooding when watering. You can place a breathable material on the bottom of the orchid flower pot so that water can drain smoothly.
7. Pay attention to different types of orchid grass when watering. Different types of orchid grass have different watering requirements. For example, orchids, oncidium and other types of orchid grass have high humidity requirements and need to be watered frequently. Orchid grasses such as tiger lily and phalaenopsis require relatively less water.
8. Pay attention to water quality when watering. When watering, pay attention to water quality issues. If water containing more impurities is used to irrigate the orchid grass, it will cause problems such as spots and yellowing of the orchid grass leaves. Purified water or filtered tap water is needed when watering.
9. Pay attention to the drainage of the soil when watering. Soil drainage is also one of the important factors affecting the growth of orchid grass. If the soil is poorly drained, it will cause damage to the roots of the orchid grass, which will affect the growth of the orchid grass. Pay attention to the drainage of the soil when watering to avoid water accumulation in the soil.
10. Pay attention to the changes of the seasons when watering. The amount of water required by the orchid grass in different seasons is also different. In summer, blue grass requires more water, while in winter, it requires less watering. When watering, you need to pay attention to changes in different seasons so as to adjust the watering amount in a timely manner.
11. Moderate watering in summer. Although orchid grass requires more water in summer, it should not be over-watered. If watering too frequently, it will lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the roots of the orchids, which will affect the growth of the orchids. You also need to pay attention to proper control when watering in summer.
12. Watering in winter should be less in winter. Due to the low temperature and low humidity, the growth rate of blue grass is slow, so the number of watering needs to be reduced. The watering cycle can be extended to 2-3 times a week to avoid damage to the roots of the orchid grass due to excessive watering.
13. Atomized water spray In summer or in a dry environment, atomized water spray can be used to increase the humidity of orchid grass. Not only can over-watering be avoided, but it can also increase the growth rate of blue grass.
14. Be careful not to let water splash on the leaves of orchid grass. When watering, you need to be careful not to let water splash on the leaves of orchid grass. If the water drops stay on the leaves for a long time, it will cause problems such as rot and yellowing of the leaves.
15. Orchid grass is a beautiful plant, but cultivating orchid grass also requires certain skills. Among them, watering is a very important part. Correct watering methods can make the orchid grow vigorously, but if watering improperly, it will lead to the death of the orchid. We need to master the correct watering method and adjust the watering amount and frequency in a timely manner according to the growth cycle of the orchid grass and environmental changes, so that the orchid grass can thrive.
