Maintenance method of orchid in winter: light is very important

We have introduced the maintenance of orchids in summer and autumn. Today we will learn about the season that orchids fear most - winter! In the maintenance process of orchids in winter, light is a very important link. Everything grows by the sun, and orchids are no exception. Next, let's learn the maintenance method of orchid in winter!

Maintenance method of orchid in winter maintenance method of orchid in winter: the light in winter is very important. The Central Plains region enters the late autumn around November every year. In this season, most plants have stopped growing and entered the dormancy period, and orchid is no exception.

In fact, the orchid bud has been formed in the autumn every year. It has to be gestated in the winter, and it will break the ground in the spring.

In winter, on the surface, the orchid has stopped growing and entered the dormancy period. In fact, subtle changes are constantly taking place inside the orchid basin. The bud point and pseudoscale ball are constantly expanding, and the orchid root is also growing slowly. At this time, not only should the leaves receive full sunlight, but also the pots should receive direct sunlight. Only in this way can the temperature in the basin be raised, the light and energy be promoted, and the orchid bud and pseudosquama can accumulate more nutrients and grow stronger.

In this way, after a winter's incubation, the orchid bud has been fully prepared for the spring excavation. Once it enters the spring, it will be thick and thin, and it will not only germinate early, but also produce strong seedlings more easily.

Maintenance methods of orchid in winter

In the natural conditions of Central Plains, it is not a problem to produce two generations of strong seedlings a year. Because the south side of Xiaobian's orchid house is a 2-meter-high wall, in winter, due to the oblique sunlight, some orchids near the South can't see the sun. So from November to April of the next year, Xiaobian changes the orchid frame in the north into a ladder shape, so that the orchid basin can fully accept the direct sunlight. Xiaobian has done it During the day, the temperature difference between the visible basin and the non visible basin was 3 to 5 degrees. Because it is a glass room, the temperature in the sunshine room rises very fast, so whether in the day or at night, as long as the minimum temperature is not less than 0 degrees, Xiaobian will open a small part of the window, so as to not only maintain ventilation, but also control the temperature in the day not to rise too high, and the temperature in the night can drop down, and increase the temperature difference.

In this way, after full vernalization and full sunlight, orchids lay a good foundation for the growth of the next year.

Editor's note: Xiaobian thinks that the survival of orchid breeding lies in the management in summer, and the strength of orchid breeding lies in the management in winter. We should make full use of what nature gives us.
