Light and temperature, watering and humidity, soil and fertilization, pruning and pest control and reproduction methods Orchids are known as the "gentleman among flowers" and have been loved by people since ancient times. Horrians are among the best among orchids because of their unique shape and elegant temperament. It is not easy to raise horrians well. This article will introduce you in detail the maintenance methods of horrians and help you easily raise beautiful horrians. Light and temperature 1. Light: Horrids prefer semi-cloudy, so direct sunlight should be avoided. When maintaining indoors, orchids can be placed in places with sufficient scattered light, such as a balcony close to windows.
2. Temperature: The suitable temperature for the growth of cornucopia is 15-25℃, which should not be too high or too low. When high temperatures in summer, attention should be paid to ventilation and cooling; when low temperatures in winter, appropriate measures can be taken to keep warm. Watering and humidity 1. Watering: Cornorchids like a humid environment, but avoid standing water. When watering, the soil should be kept slightly moist to avoid water stains. The specific watering frequency can be adjusted according to the season and weather conditions.
2. Humidity: The suitable air humidity for cornorchids is 60%-80%. In the dry season, methods such as spraying water and placing water trays can be used to increase the humidity. Soil and fertilization 1. Soil: Hornwort is suitable for growing in loose, breathable and well-drained soil. It can be mixed with legus soil, coarse sand, perlite and other materials.
2. Fertilization: Compound fertilizer is applied once a month during the period of vigorous growth of cornweed. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied before and after flowering. When fertilizing, be careful not to let the fertilizer come into contact with the leaves. Pruning and pest control 1. Pruning: During the growth process of cornorchids, prune yellow leaves and weak branches in time to keep the plants clean and tidy.
2. Pest control: Common pests and diseases of hornwort include leaf spot disease, anthracnose, aphids, etc. When pests and diseases are found, measures should be taken in time, such as cutting off weak parts and spraying pesticides. Propagation method 1. Plant division propagation: divide the well-grown hornwort plants into several plants and plant them separately.
2. Sowing and propagation: sow the seeds of hornwort in loose and moist soil, maintain proper temperature and humidity, and transplant after germination.
