Choosing a good soil is the first step to cultivate Hanlan. Xiaobian looked up a lot of data, and also read the suggestions of flower friends on the soil matching, and found the most suitable soil matching method.
Pond cornerstone or planting stone (or replaced by river sand) 40%, mountain mud (the original black soil of orchid) 35%, mushroom bran or waste sawdust (disinfected before use) 15%, snake wood (or fern root) 10% mixed. The professional soil is very important.
Hanlan was originally grown in the dense forests of high mountains, and the environment was relatively shady. Therefore, in family breeding, it is necessary to protect the leaves from the sun. Xiaobian suggested that sunshade should be set up at home, and the degree of sunshade should be based on the degree of sunlight. Under the premise of not burning the leaves, more sunlight can be seen.
The amount of watering must be well controlled. Usually, try to keep the basin soil moist but not wet, dry but not dry. For beginners, the growth of orchids is afraid of water shortage, but often watering will cause rotten roots, which is the reason for most of the failure of orchid cultivation.
Master the correct watering methods: no matter the basin is large or small, water once every 8-15 days in spring, once every 4-6 days in summer, once every 5-10 days in autumn, once every 20 days or more in winter and early spring.
The leaves of Hanlan are long and thin, with many pores, and the contact surface between thin leaves and air is large, so it can grow well only when the environment is fresh. In family breeding, keep Hanlan away from lampblack and air conditioner outlet, and wash leaves with clean water frequently. In other words, as long as people feel the fresh air, Hanlan will grow well.
As the master of Hanlan, you should have enough patience and not be eager for quick success and instant benefits. With some beginners on the growth habits and laws of cold orchid lack of understanding, there is a little problem on the fuss, repeated tossing, too doting or too stocking cold orchid is not good growth.
Cold orchid is also human nature, you know her and often care about her, she will naturally sprout every year, revealing fragrance, pampering is not allowed!
