Orchids stink to high heaven? Use this kind of stone to solve it easily, and let it spread fragrance for miles

With the development of the times, more and more people place greater emphasis on taste, especially when it comes to growing flowers, and most of them grow orchids. This is because when orchids are in full bloom, not only is their fragrance delightful, but their flowers also grow in unusual shapes, so they are very popular among flower lovers. The orchids grown by some flower lovers, however, do not have a delightful fragrance. Instead, they stink to high heaven. Why is that?

This is because the orchid's roots have rotted. Rotten roots give off some odor. If they are not dealt with in time and are left to worsen, then over time, waves of odor will gradually be released from the soil.

What should be done about this? Today, the editor will introduce a kind of "stone" to flower lovers. With this thing, orchids will no longer "stink to high heaven," but instead spread fragrance for miles.

Actually, this stone is cobblestone. Everyone has probably seen this kind of thing. You can pick it up by the river, and many people like to use it as decoration. But many people also do not know that cobblestone can be used to grow orchids. So, how should cobblestone be used to solve root rot? Below, I will tell flower lovers how to use cobblestone to grow orchids.

1. Growing orchids with cobblestone provides ventilation and air permeability

If this kind of stone is piled together, the gaps between them can allow ventilation and air permeability. If it is placed in a flowerpot, it can not only enhance the ornamental value of the orchid, but also increase the permeability of the planting soil, so the orchid will not rot because its roots are not ventilated.

2. Wash thoroughly before use, and bacteria will take a detour

If the orchid's roots have rotted, the soil in the pot can no longer be used either. It must all be taken out and thrown away, and then the flowerpot should be rinsed clean with clear water. After the flowerpot is washed clean, all the cobblestone brought back can be thrown in. However, when the cobblestone is collected, it will have some soil stuck to it. Before use, it must be rinsed clean with clear water. It is best to use a brush to scrub them one by one.

After scrubbing, dilute carbendazim with water and pour it into the flowerpot, making sure every piece of cobblestone can be touched by it. Then soak for about 10 minutes, take them out, and finally place them on a clean floor to dry in the sun. The flowerpot also needs to be wiped dry with a clean towel.

3. Rotten roots need to be cut off, then pair with cobblestone

The soil has been thrown away, but the orchid's roots have not yet been dealt with. If the rotten root parts are not removed, the orchid cannot be replanted, so we have to deal with the roots again. First prepare a pair of scissors. The scissors can be soaked in boiled water for 5 minutes, then taken out, and the orchid's rotten roots should be cut off. If some leaves have also rotted, cut them off as well. After dealing with them, the orchid can be replanted.

At this time, although the orchid very much needs nutrients, because it has been replanted, you must wait until it has adapted to the pot before fertilizing it. Generally, an orchid can adapt to the pot in about half a month. Once it has adapted to the pot, it can be fertilized.

For fertilizer, a nutrient solution specially made for orchids can be sprayed. This kind of nutrient solution has relatively comprehensive ingredients, is not likely to burn the roots, and can also promote the growth of the orchid.

The above is the kind of "stone" that Little Fox wants to introduce to everyone today that can solve orchid root rot. With it, orchid root rot will be gone, and fragrance will spread for miles!
