Orchids are known as royal flowers because of the elegant beauty of each flower. Orchids make people fall in love. But to have beautiful pots of orchids, orchid hobbyists have to put in a lot of effort and enthusiasm.
When the orchids are starting to produce young buds at this time The plant will need a lot of nutrition to produce long-lasting dark-colored flowers and long-lasting orchids.
Getting orchids to flower is not easy, but taking care of them is not easy. What’s even more difficult is how to water orchids, how to fertilize them properly, what temperature and humidity should be right for orchids?
Orchids should be fertilized when they are flowering
When the plant begins to flower, it will need more nutrients to feed the plant and produce many beautiful, long-lasting flowers that don’t fade as quickly as other flowers. Therefore, according to Mr. Tuan, “For the flowering process, growers need to pay attention to how to fertilize to provide nutrients for the plants. The type of fertilizer commonly used by orchid hobbyists is NPK 60:30:30 fertilizer. Combine with organic fertilizers with micro-organisms such as urine, animal feces, animal residue, soaked soybean seeds… Or spray foliar fertilizer Dau Trau 901 (15-20-25) (3g/4liter) periodically Every 7 days helps the plant absorb all the necessary nutrients.
In addition, to help the plant absorb all the nutrients without wasting it, you should water it. After a round of water, fertilize the soil so it can easily absorb the fertilizer and not run off. This will save half the amount of fertilizer.
Orchid hobbyists should also be careful not to spray fertilizer on the flower stems as this will cause the flowers to wither quickly or burn the flowers due to the concentration of fertilizer. Use a capture device at the nozzle tip to keep the fertilizer from sticking to the flowers. Only spray on leaf stems and roots and should not be sprayed on flowers.
For flowering orchids, fertilization should be watered at 8-9 a.m. At about 3-4 pm you should mist with clean water so that the plant can absorb all the fertilizer you watered in the morning. The next day, wash the leaves to remove any residue that can cause many leaf diseases in orchids later.
Mr. Xuan Tuan said the interval of watering depends on many factors such as climatic conditions Planting material, plant condition, type of fertilizer, fertilizer concentration…
Normally water once a week, but if the orchid garden is shady, the interval should be longer (10 -15 days/time). On the contrary, orchid gardens with lots of light can be watered twice a week. After fertilizing, you should increase the amount of water the following day to wash away any remaining salt to avoid adverse effects on the orchid.
How to water for orchids
During this period, Mr. Tuan only watered so that it was moist enough. He usually watered in the early morning or late afternoon, avoiding watering at noon when it was sunny. it’s hot. After unusual rains, especially the first rains of the season, you need to water again immediately to wash away the residue left on the leaves.
Mr. Tuan also invested in the garden. My orchids have a system of modern industrial equipment including a cooling system, a ventilation fan, an automatic misting system… easily adjust and maintain humidity in the garden to keep the plants growing well and the flowers fresh. long time.
