How to cultivate orchids
Today, let's delve into how to cultivate orchids and the related introductions of orchid cultivation methods and watering green plants. Let's learn more together.
Watering is the most critical step in orchid care, and the right amount, timing, and method are all very important.
Firstly, do not water according to a fixed number of days, but rather explore your own watering experience based on your own situation. Because there are differences in the growing environment, potting soil, and placement of orchids, even in the same environment, there are significant differences due to different seasons. Therefore, there is no fixed number of days to water. After watering in spring, observe for a few days to see if the planting material completely dries out. In summer and winter, after watering, it will take a few days to dry through. Only after gaining this experience can you know when it is time to water your orchids at home.
Secondly, the method of watering when dry and wet should be mastered flexibly. Do not wait until the potting soil is completely dry before watering thoroughly, as this will cause the orchid to develop a large number of empty roots, affecting its growth. Also, do not water halfway, because the top layer of the potting soil is moist while the bottom layer is dry, which will cause the roots to grow towards the surface of the soil. Dryness at the bottom will result in shrunken empty roots. Therefore, always observe the dry and wet state of the potting soil, and try not to let it become too dry. If you cannot judge the dryness or wetness of the potting soil, you can weigh the pot and then water thoroughly.
Lastly, the method of watering is very important. You can slowly water along the edge of the pot into the potting soil. After waiting for a while for the water on the surface of the pot to seep into the soil, water again until excess water flows out from the drainage hole, indicating that the potting soil inside is almost completely watered. Also, for orchids with potting soil above the pot surface, you can use the immersion method to water, allowing the potting material at the bottom of the pot to be soaked through the siphon principle. You can also use the soaking method, placing the orchid pot in a large pot filled with water for half an hour, allowing the plant to absorb enough water to grow better and healthier.
In summary, watering is a very important care aspect of growing orchids. The soil should not be too dry or too wet. Everyone can gradually explore a set of watering methods that suit them in practice, which will allow the orchids to grow robustly and welcome even more beautiful blooms.
