Autumnal Equinox After it is autumn, it is autumn in the true sense, and many orchid friends have also entered the preparation period for autumn orchid planting. When it comes to orchid planting, although theoretically it is possible all year round, after all, according to the growth rules of the plant, there are still the most suitable times, that is spring and autumn.

Spring needs no need to say, some people are preparing to enter the peak growth season. At this time, the orchids planted at this time will take pot to adapt to the new environment in a very short time. Therefore, friends who are used to planting orchids in spring may be at a loss if they encounter special conditions when planting orchids in autumn, such as the most common survival rate problem in planting orchids in autumn.

After autumn, orchids, like most plants, gradually tend to converge, and the vitality of growth function is also decreasing. For example, new root systems will appear in orchids planted in spring for more than 20 days, which will definitely help you survive by taking a pot. If the orchids planted in autumn are later, new roots may not have grown in the past.

Under normal circumstances, it is also possible to take pots without a new root system. By the spring of the next year, these orchids will not be less rapid than planted in spring, whether they grow new roots or new sprouts. Therefore, the key here is how to make it take the basin as soon as possible. The biggest problem with orchid pots is to avoid excessive reduction of grass.

grass removal (seedlings) means that after the orchid is newly planted, the root system cannot provide nutrients and moisture in a timely and effective manner for a period of time. Then, the orchid seedlings, out of the instinct of self-protection, will sacrifice orchid seedlings with older seedlings in the orchids to extract nutrients and water from them to ensure the survival of the new seedlings.

This period is what we call the orchid potting period. If the nutrients and water stored in the seedlings are not sufficient, then this energy extraction will cause the leaves of the extracted orchid seedlings to have yellow. There is a sequence of grass removal, generally starting from the leaves of the largest age of orchid seedlings, starting from the outermost leaves of orchid seedlings, and starting from the tip of the leaves. Then gradually start from old to new, from outside to inside, and from top to bottom. In severe cases, the entire orchid seedlings will wither until the end.

So, now we should know that there are two main reasons why orchids reduce grass: moisture and nutrients. To increase the survival rate of orchids planted in autumn, we must first prevent weeds from being reduced. Although it is impossible to avoid 100% avoiding the orchid's grass removal after planting, try to control it and prevent the orchid from over-reducing the orchid from growing too much is also the key to improving the survival rate.

In fact, before and after planting orchids, there are some details and tips to help them pass the potting period smoothly. As long as the operation is correct, it is not difficult to prevent orchids from regaining their grass. This article focuses on some operating techniques to prevent orchid seedlings from falling out when planting orchids in autumn.

1. Pre-planting water control

One week before planting, water control should be appropriately controlled. Water control not only reduces the water content of the orchid root and improves its toughness, but also makes it less likely to break during planting operations. It can also stimulate its "drought-resistant" function. Even if there is a short-term lack of water after planting, the orchid seedlings will not decline rapidly.

2. Fertilize

Prepare orchids for the autumn pot seedlings planted. You can apply some quick-acting fertilizers or spray foliar fertilizers around 10-15 before operation. Let Lancong absorb and accumulate more energy. In this way, the orchid seedlings will not lose their grass due to the inadequate supply of nutrients.

3. Sun protection during the seedling stage

After planting, you must keep it in the dark for a period of time. It is about 7-10 days. I found that the orchid seedlings that are too sunbathed are much more likely to have a much higher incidence of grass reduction.

4. Timely spraying and hydrating

As mentioned earlier, the reduction of orchids is caused by the inadequate supply of moisture and nutrients. If you can replenish water in time during the potting period, it can alleviate the sheath reduction caused by water deficiency in the orchid seedlings. When the orchid root is not working properly, we can use the breathing of orchid leaves and to rehydrate the leaves, which is also good.

orchids are a natural physiological phenomenon. As long as they understand the reason for their formation and use the right methods to prevent and treat them, the survival rate of orchid planting can be doubled. It is indeed a good season to plant orchids in autumn. Novice orchid friends should not be troubled by survival rate. Just find the right method.
