How long after the orchids are replaced will it be considered a serving basin?
Changing orchids into pots is an important part of the maintenance process, but many flower lovers have questions about the serving period. Potting is not only a process for the roots to adapt to the new environment, but also a critical stage for the plants to restore their growth functions. Mastering scientific judgment methods can make maintenance twice the result with half the effort. 1. Analysis of the cycle of orchid serving basin 1. Variety differences affect the time for faster-growing varieties such as spring orchid and cymbidium cymbidium to be served in about 20-30 days under an environment of 20-30℃ and a humidity of 60%. Slow-growing varieties such as Han orchid and Mo orchid may require an adaptation period of 90-180 days. It is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record the serving cycles of different varieties. 2. The light intensity, a key factor in environmental control, is controlled at 5,000 - 8,000 Lux, and scattered light is used for maintenance. The humidity of the substrate remains in a "moist but not wet" state, and it is safer to use the dipping basin method to replenish water. The temperature is stable in the range of 15-28℃, and the temperature difference between day and night is less than 5℃. 2. Accurate judgment method for serving basin status; leaf state detection method to observe whether a "crystal head"(new tissue) appears at 0.5cm from the tip of the blade. This is an important signal. The height of the leaves reached more than 90% before the pot change, and the waxy layer on the leaves recovered its reflective characteristics, indicating that the reconstruction of the nutrient transportation system was completed. Observation method for new bud growth: A "rice-like" protrusion appears at the base of the newborn pseudobulb and develops into new buds within 7-10 days. The average daily growth of new buds reaches 0.3-0.5mm and presents a healthy emerald green color, which proves that the plant has established an effective nutrient absorption system. 3. Advanced maintenance techniques 50ppm of HB-101 activator can be applied during the serving period and sprayed on the leaves every 15 days. When it is found that there are more than 3 new aerial roots and the length is greater than 2 cm, 1/4 concentration of orchid special fertilizer can be applied. Rotate the flowerpot regularly to ensure that the plants receive even light.
Through systematic observation and scientific maintenance, the orchid serving cycle can be significantly shortened. It is recommended to adopt the "three observations and one measurement" method: look at the leaf color, look at the new buds, look at the root system, measure the substrate humidity, and comprehensively grasp the progress of serving the pot. Patience waiting and accurate judgment will surely give orchids new vitality.
