When we decided to add a little greenness to our home and chose orchids as the preferred gardening option, we often hoped that they would take root and thrive. However, orchids, as a precious flower, are not resilient and require more care and care. Prior to planting, orchids are immersed in water for some time, providing them with a better growth environment and a faster adaptation process. Today, let's discuss this little trick about orchid planting。
1. Adaptability of orchids
As a tropical plant, orchids are relatively less resilient to the environment. They usually grow in tropical rainforests and are used to high humidity, stable temperatures and sufficient sunlight. And when we transplant it from a flower shop or garden to a domestic flower pot, it often takes time to adapt to the new growth environment。
2. Benefits of leaching in water
By immersing orchids in water for a certain period of time, they can help adapt more quickly to the new environment. Infiltration in water helps to supplement the water content of the orchids by providing the necessary nutrients, while also contributing to their growth and development. As a result, when we transplant orchids into the flower basin, they can take root more quickly and adapt more easily to new growth environments。
3. Operational methods of leaching in water
When immersing in water, we can choose to immerse the root of the orchid completely in the water, depending on the variety and growth of the orchid, and generally recommend immersion of 15 to 30 minutes. During immersion, the flower basin can be moved softly to help the roots fully absorb water. After leaching, the orchid is removed and adapted to air for a certain period of time before planting。
4. Notes
When impregnating in water, attention needs to be paid to its cleanness and temperature. It is recommended that clean running or distilled water be used and that the water be appropriately warm and not overheated or overcooled. In addition, immersed orchid roots should naturally dry for a period of time to avoid excessive moisture during planting, affecting normal plant growth。
Conclusions
The relatively weak adaptive capacity of orchids, so that they are impregnated in water for some time before planting, can help them adapt more quickly to the new environment and promote their healthy growth. However, when impregnating in water, we need to pay attention to the cleanness and temperature of the water and dry the roots of the orchid for some time after leaching to ensure healthy plant growth. Let us take care of every orchid and add a fresh and beautiful piece to our home。
