Huayou asked: orchids are really hard to grow, ten roots and nine empty ones, which part of the problem is wrong?
Let’s first look at the pictures provided by Huayou:
As you can see from the above picture, Huayou’s orchid root system does have a problem. The leaves look green and oily, but the orchid head is always supplying nutrients. Looking at the root system, the root system of orchids turned green, and the obvious empty roots were serious. It only needed a little pinch and it felt like they could be crushed. Of course, fortunately, there was a normal white and tender root system, but no strong white and tender root system was found.
Look carefully at the planting materials of the flower pots, and feel that the florists are using a mix of and coconut chaff . We have analyzed before. When using coconut chaff to grow orchids, pay attention to the way of planting and watering. The first method of watering is that the plant material is too thin and has poor air permeability, but it is difficult to water thoroughly.
The plant grass bug believes that the empty roots of the orchids of netizens are caused by problems with the planting and watering. The coconut chaff is too thin and the air permeability is poor after watering, and the watering is not completely watered, and there is half water. The phenomenon that I think it has been watered is actually not watered. It is recommended to use the soaking method for watering this kind of thin planting material, and the bottom planting material must be poured thoroughly.
In this case, the leaf problem is not big, just adjust the planting and watering method. It is recommended to add some phytolith to the potting soil with coconut chaff, or Small sand particles, the purpose is to increase air and water permeability, and the later watering must be thoroughly poured to avoid half water. It is not possible to directly soak the basin. Of course, before the basin is used, the lower empty roots should be treated slightly to remove the dead roots and empty roots. Prune it off, then disinfect, then dry the roots and dry the roots until the roots are a little harder before putting them in the pots, and then normal maintenance is enough.
