Having endured the scorching summer, autumn has finally arrived, and it is a great season for orchids to bloom and grow. At this time, you must be especially careful. Do these 5 things well, and your orchids will surely be full of fragrance and burst into bloom all over the pot!
Shading and sun protection are essential
Although the temperature has dropped, the weather in early autumn is still mainly hot and high-temperature, and the "autumn tiger" heat is in full force. At this time, do not remove the shade net, because once sunburned, it cannot be saved.
Lighting tips
In early autumn, shade and sun protection are needed at noon, while in the morning and evening the orchids can be moved outdoors to receive full sunlight. In addition, this can increase the temperature difference and promote flower buds!
Prevent typhoons and rainstorms in time
1. Prevent typhoons
Early autumn is a season with frequent typhoons, so preparations must be made. For orchids grown outdoors, check whether the shade net, roof, doors, and windows are secure. For orchids grown indoors, close the doors and windows in time!
2. Prevent rainstorms
Typhoons passing through are generally accompanied by rainstorms. Move balcony orchids indoors in time. For outdoor cultivation, simply set up a shade net, which can effectively buffer the rain and also allow air and water permeability, benefiting the growth of orchid plants.
After a rainstorm, the sun will be very strong. At this time, be sure to ventilate more, ventilate more, otherwise the soil will be stuffy and hot, steaming above and cooking below, and the orchids will easily rot.
Fertilize at the right time for good blooming
When the temperature drops below 30°C, you can consider fertilizing. Proper fertilization is what allows good blooming.
Fertilization tips
1. You can spray phosphorus and potassium fertilizer on the leaves, or bury organic fertilizer in the growing medium, such as decomposed sheep manure and pigeon manure, but be careful to keep it away from the roots.
2. Fertilization should follow the principle of light fertilizer applied frequently. In early autumn, apply once every 10 days.
Replenish water in time to prevent drying out
Autumn winds rise and dust flies. The autumn climate is mainly dry. For orchids planted in clay pots and with large-particle growing medium, the pot surface dries out very easily, so water must be replenished in time to prevent the leaves from dehydrating and drying out.
Watering tips
1. Water according to the principle of watering when dry and stopping when wet, and water thoroughly each time. Spray water or mist on the leaves more often in the morning and evening every day to increase air humidity.
2. For robustly growing orchid plants, in August and September you can appropriately control water to force flowering, and water again when the leaves are about to wilt.
Note:
If you grow orchids in cinnabar flower pots or plastic flower pots, prevent the soil from being too wet, which can cause heat damage and root rot, especially when the growing medium is fine and has poor air permeability. After each watering, open the windows more for ventilation.
Prevent disease, eliminate pests, and prevent scorched tips
Early autumn is a high-incidence season for orchid pests and diseases, such as anthracnose, southern blight, scale insects, black spot, and so on. Their power is even fiercer than in midsummer. Once infected, the leaf tips scorch and turn black, and in severe cases the whole plant will rot and die.
Once discovered, immediately cut off and burn diseased leaves and diseased plants. During the disease period, spray Bordeaux mixture or a 1000-fold diluted
Thiophanate-methyl solution on the leaves every 1 week, and
open windows for ventilation and clear weeds.
