Maintenance of Gypsophila paniculata to see more light, at least 6 hours a day to see light, see light for a long time, the flowering period will be ahead of schedule. During the growth period, we should water more to ensure that the water is abundant and the soil is moist, but we should control the water in the flowering period. The temperature can be controlled at 25-30 deg C in the daytime and at 10-15 deg C in the evening. Nitrogen fertilizer can be applied at seedling stage, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied at bolting stage, and controlled fertilization is needed during flowering period.

1. How to raise orchid roots to sprout again

The roots of orchids can germinate again if they are well maintained.First of all, we should prune the orchid root, prune the old root, diseased root and bad root, and then disinfect it.Then prepare clean sphagnum moss as plant material, and prepare a self-sealing bag.Wrap the root with sphagnum moss, wet it and put it in a ziplock bag. Put it in a sunny, warm place. Open the bag every few days for fresh air.Generally, after a month or two, small buds will grow, and after the buds grow, several holes will be poked on the self-sealing bag to enable it to ventilate and discharge excess water.After about half a month, they can all germinate.

2. How to plant a bud

After sprouting, orchid roots can be planted in pots.

First of all, we need to prepare suitable soil.It is better to prepare loose and breathable soil with good moisture retention and certain nutrition, which can be prepared with plant stone, fairy soil, rotten leaf soil and bark in the proportion of 3:4:2:1, which is conducive to root cultivation.

Then check the root system, will be too dense, too long or old roots, diseased roots, etc. Pruned off, so as to promote the continued regeneration of orchid buds.After pruning, they need to be soaked, disinfected and dried, and then carefully planted in pots, while filling in the soil, while gently shaking the pots, so that the roots and soil closely fit.

After that, water thoroughly to increase the humidity of the soil and promote the growth of orchid buds.When the orchid buds grow to a certain extent, they can control watering, so that the new seedlings can grow vigorously without the old seedlings.During the period, appropriate topdressing is needed, and some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied, which has a better root-raising effect and can help plants accumulate nutrients.
