If you want to continue to bloom after the orchid is withered, there are two options: first, it will bloom again in the same year; second, it will bloom again in the next year. Two choices correspond to different pruning methods.
Find a pair of scissors, first wipe it with alcohol, keep 4 nodes at the base of the foil, cut off all the above parts, and keep it in a warm place with sunshine.
Such pruned Phalaenopsis will bloom again after 2-3 months, but we need to pay attention to the excessive nutrient consumption of such plants, which is not conducive to the growth of next year.
Will Phalaenopsis will be cut from the bottom of the sword, appropriate to add a little potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
After such pruning, Phalaenopsis has entered the cultivation stage. It will be carefully maintained and wait for more flowers to bloom in the next year.
After flower withering, flower cutting sword is the most important step, but it's not over. For Phalaenopsis to grow better, we need the following steps
Take the plant out of the flowerpot gently, remove the soil from the root system, and do not hurt its tender fleshy root.
Cut old roots, rotten roots and yellow leaves.
Soak in hydrogen peroxide or carbendazim solution for half an hour and let it dry in a ventilated place.
Use the new moss soaked thoroughly to wrap up the roots and put them in the basin. Pay attention to make the roots evenly separated and not to squeeze several roots together.
After pruning the Phalaenopsis, we should do a good job in daily maintenance, so as to ensure that the Phalaenopsis bloom again.
When should Phalaenopsis water depends on the specific situation, mainly according to the dry and wet conditions of the basin soil, toothpick method can be used to judge
Put the toothpick in the soil and pull it out ten minutes later. If the toothpick is just a little wet, it needs watering. If it's too wet, it's not necessary
In the long seedling stage, the balanced fertilizer (balanced combination of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements) is the main fertilizer, and the high phosphorus fertilizer is the main fertilizer when accelerating the flowering, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate (the light should be increased properly when accelerating the flowering), and the fertilization should be stopped when the flower bud is close to the size of peanut kernel.
Water moss planting can be twice water a fertilizer, bark planting a water a fertilizer, occasionally 1 - 2 months to use a high phosphate fertilizer.
Butterfly orchid likes to spread light, avoid direct sunlight. In winter, direct sunlight can aggravate the color.
Butterfly orchid likes warm environment, but it is forbidden to be stuffy. It should be well ventilated all year round. It can be put beside the window
It's a pity that flower friends who don't have the experience of raising Phalaenopsis want to throw it away when they see the rotten stems and leaves of Phalaenopsis. Flowers teach you how to solve the common diseases of Phalaenopsis
There are black spots on the stem, and slowly corrode the whole stem. The main reason is that the water is too much, the basin is airtight, and the water can't be sent out, etc.
Treatment method: change basin again, trim rotten root and disinfect root, dig out black spot. Apply alcohol or iodine to the wound. After the wound is healed, put it in the basin again. Before the wound is healed, keep it dry and spray water for Lanzhu every day.
The top of the new shoots of Phalaenopsis withered, the young leaves were yellowish, and the old leaves were also yellowish. The reason is that the soil is lack of oxygen and some roots are rotten.
Treatment: should control watering and stop fertilization, according to the actual degree of watering moss. Can be placed in the ventilation area to speed up evaporation of basin soil moisture
Improper watering and so on cause basin soil water or basin soil itself permeability is poor, can cause Phalaenopsis rotten root.
Processing method:
Take the plant out of the basin, wash the root with clean water, cut off the rotten root, and try to keep the intact part.
Soak the cut and the remaining roots in potassium permanganate 2 ‰ solution for 10 minutes, air dry, and then smear the cut with plant ash.
When you put it in the basin again, press the rhizome to be solid, water permeable, put it in the shade, cover it with film, keep it at about 20 ℃, and it will grow new roots in about 20 days.
