Today, I will introduce to you the content about orchid propagation. How to know if the orchid has adapted after planting, and next, I will take everyone to understand together.
How to know if the orchid has adapted after planting, and how to water the orchid that has not adapted
1. How to know: - Observe the leaves: Observing the smoothness of the leaves is a relatively intuitive way to determine if the plant has adapted. If the orchid has not adapted, the ability of the rhizome to absorb water and nutrients from the soil has not yet recovered, and the smoothness of the leaves will gradually fade, becoming dull and not glossy. But if the plant has adapted, the rhizome recovers, and nutrients and water can be directly supplied to the leaves, making the leaves more lustrous and vigorous. Moreover, after the orchid has adapted, the leaves of the orchid will become more upright and have a strong sense of layering.
2. Observe the new芽 tips: After the orchid has adapted, the new芽 tips will grow rapidly with obvious growth. If not adapted, the growth of new芽 tips will be slow or stagnant.
3. Observe the sprouts: Only after the orchid has adapted, will it grow sprouts. If there are sprouts growing after repotting the orchid, it indicates that it has already adapted to the new growth environment.
2. How to water: When the orchid is still in the adaptation period and has not yet recovered its growth, it is necessary to control the amount of watering. Maintain the humidity of the potting material at around 40%, not too wet and not too dry. Generally, it is enough to water once every 10-15 days. Keeping the potting soil slightly dry can reduce the time for the plant to adapt. However, relative humidity is important for the plant's germination stage, especially for orchids that have not adapted, which require higher relative humidity. This can be achieved by sprinkling water on the ground or placing water in the saucer at the bottom of the pot to increase the humidity of the air.
The above information about how to know if the orchid has adapted after planting and how to water the orchid that has not adapted is shared with you. I hope this article can be of some help to you after reading it!
