How often do orchids water in summer? Do you want to dry it every day?

Practice has proved that orchids are dry in eight parts and wet in two parts, and less watering is needed during flowering and budding. In the rainy season, you should move back indoors or build a shed to shelter from the rain. There should not be too much water in the early morning or evening in summer, and the amount of water can be increased appropriately in autumn. In dry season, spray every evening. Spray upwards when spraying, so that the fog spots are fine and uniform, so that the leaves are wet, the ground is wet and the air humidity is increased. Sometimes it's best to spray it several times a day and water it from the side of the basin, not on your head or at noon. Although watering can be greatly reduced in winter, it is not without watering. Be careful not to let the basin soil dry completely. Watering in late winter and early spring will damp the leaf sheath, and then move it indoors after drying to avoid rot. In short, the principle is to water when it is dry, stop when it is wet, and do it properly. It is best to use rainwater and spring water. All kinds of water should be taken and stored in the tank first, so that the pollutants in the water can precipitate, the water temperature is normal, and the chlorine in tap water can escape and then be poured out.

illuminate

Light is an important factor in the formation of flower buds. Although orchids like to enjoy the cool, they rarely bloom if they are placed in shelters all the year round. Orchid artists have long discovered that the orchid leaves in Shanyin have fewer flowers, while the orchid leaves in Shanyin have fewer flowers. Therefore, the cultivation of orchids must pay attention to the lighting problem. In spring and summer, orchids are best shaded by reed curtains or placed in indoor windows facing east and south. Orchids under the curtain should be rotated 1 time every half month, so that the orchids can receive light on all sides, which is beneficial to the balanced growth of plants. When it is cool in autumn, potted orchids should be moved out of the shade and allowed to bask in the sun for half a day in the morning, but attention should be paid in autumn. When it is cold, put it under the indoor south window for the winter, but it doesn't have to be too warm. It is best to cover with plastic film to keep the leaves moist. As for the control of pests and diseases, such as brown rust and white silk disease, it is treated with 0.5% sulfur mixture. If there is an ant nest, you can soak the basin in water and drive it away.

place

The location of orchids is very important, which directly affects their growth and development. Orchids are generally placed in the open field in spring, summer and autumn (in the open shade in summer) and indoors in winter. It is best to be outdoors in an open and humid place. There should be enough light indoors, preferably facing south. In this way, it is beneficial to orchid growth. It's best to put the basin on a wooden frame or table, not on the ground.

Shading method

Orchids are mostly semi-negative plants, and most varieties are afraid of direct sunlight and need proper shade. Orchids can get more sunshine in the first half of April to promote their growth. Appropriate shade should be provided after the end of April. Erect leaf varieties from Xia Lan and Qiu Lan are best placed in the cool south to get more sunshine. Qiu Lan and Chunlan with drooping leaves should be exposed to the sun for two hours every day. Shade early every day from June to September. If a reed curtain is used, a dense curtain or two-layer thin curtain can be used. After 10, the weather turns cold and the sunshine is weak, so the shading of vegetables can be postponed, but attention should still be paid to shading around noon.

rain gear

Orchids can rain lightly, but we should avoid mildew rain, showers or even rainy days. In the rainy season, it is particularly necessary to do a good job of rain protection. From late June to mid-September, showers are frequent. If it rains for a short time and the rainfall is small, water it more at night to discharge the hot air in the basin, otherwise it will damage the orchid and even rot its roots and die. If the sun shines after the rain, it should be shaded in time to avoid the influence of the rising heat on the growth of orchids. The rainy season is the stage when orchids grow leaves. If the pot soil is too warm, it will lead to bad growth of leaves or cause diseases. At this time, a small amount of plant ash can be sprinkled to adjust the humidity of the basin soil.
