How to raise the roots of orchids to be healthy?

Healthy cultivation methods of orchid root system: soil preparation, sufficient humidity, watering, fertilization and pest control.

1, the soil should be well prepared.

Roots should be cultivated before planting flowers, and the roots of orchids are relatively thick radish roots. This kind of root system likes humidity, but it is particularly afraid of water accumulation. The distribution mechanism of orchids should use coarse and fine materials. It is best to use a large particle bottom and the mechanism should be properly configured. It can be composed of humus soil, pine needle soil and granular soil, bark or organic fertilizer.

2, the humidity should be sufficient

Orchids like the environment with high air humidity. Its original environment is the place with high air humidity next to the mountain stream. When maintaining orchids, don't put them in too dry places. You can often spray water on orchids to moisturize them, enhance ventilation and keep them close to the original ecological environment.

water

It takes three years to raise orchids well, but watering them is a university question. Let the soil be wet but not wet. When watering, don't pour it into the flower heart of the orchid, and don't pour it into the bud of the orchid. Usually, when the plant material is about to dry, watering can make the basin soil dry and wet alternately. Let the roots get a good breath, so as to raise the roots.

Step 4 apply fertilizer

When fertilizing orchids, try to avoid using chemical fertilizers. Organic fertilizers, such as fermented dried sheep manure, can prevent soil hardening and acidification caused by long-term use of chemical fertilizers and affect root growth. Regular use of organic fertilizer can improve soil vitality, make root system healthy and enhance resistance.

5, pest control

Generally speaking, the diseases that harm the root system of orchids mainly include root rot and white silk disease. The main pests that harm orchid roots are earthworms, snails and root nematodes. Root diseases and insect pests are difficult to control, which is particularly harmful to orchid plants. Before planting blue seedlings, strict disinfection and pest control should be carried out for blue seedlings and planting materials.
