How to water a虎皮兰 (Tiger Skin Orchid)
The web tells everyone about how to water a tiger skin orchid and teaches the correct maintenance knowledge of green plant flower planting. Next, the editor will introduce it to the netizens.
Tiger skin orchids have a certain drought tolerance and do not tolerate waterlogging. When watering it, you must pay attention to the method and follow the principle of "better dry than wet." Water every 2-3 days in spring and autumn; in summer, with high evaporation, water once a day, but control the amount well and avoid waterlogging; in winter, with low temperatures, keep the soil slightly dry, and water only when necessary, once every half month is fine.
Tiger skin orchids are succulent plants and are not afraid of cold. To keep their leaves continuously lush and healthy, the temperature should be kept above 5℃. The upright leaves of the tiger skin orchid are edged with gold, making it look very elegant. Especially when placing the tiger skin orchid plant on both sides of the TV cabinet, it can enhance the sense of style in the living room. This potted plant is also easy to maintain.
Watering tiger skin orchids cannot be summarized in one sentence about how often to water them; it is necessary to arrange watering times based on different conditions.
Water less when the temperature is low (around 10℃) to keep the potting soil slightly dry. When the temperature is above 20℃, water more to keep the soil moist. Except in summer, try to water in the afternoon when the temperature is higher, as plants prefer to drink water and absorb it more easily at this time. In winter, after bringing it indoors, water only when the potting soil is completely dry. You can add some ferrous sulfate during the watering process to maintain the soil acidity.
In addition to watering, it is also necessary to maintain good ventilation and air permeability for the potted plant.
Indoor cultivation of tiger skin orchid potted plants has limited ventilation, which causes the soil to remain moist for a long time after watering, keeping the plant's roots wrapped in a mixture of soil and water for an extended period. This can lead to the decay and mold of the fine roots, causing the leaves to turn yellow, fall off, and develop rot spots. Therefore, it is essential to ensure good ventilation and air permeability for the plant, to increase the drying-wetting cycle of the potting soil, and not to keep the roots in a waterlogged state for a long time.
The above introduction on how to water tiger skin orchids and the specific introduction of correct maintenance knowledge, for netizens to refer to and learn from.
