How to grow orchids to get a high rate of new buds

Germination is the basic manifestation of the survival of orchids after planting. If it does not germinate after a long time of planting, it is very likely that the orchid has not adapted to the pot, let alone survive.

Therefore, many novice orchid lovers like to frequently turn over the pots to see if there are any new sprouts after planting orchids. This is actually a bad habit because it will affect the orchid's acclimatization. So, how can orchids be raised to sprout more?

First, watering promotes

Spring is the natural growth period of orchids. If you want to promote the growth of leaf buds at this time, in addition to daily watering, you should keep the soil watered until it is dry and water it thoroughly.

In addition, we need to spray more often to replenish water on the leaves, so that the orchid can have sufficient water without affecting the respiration of the root system . Sufficient water can increase the probability of germination. The planting material can be wet when it is dry, and it is okay to spray the leaves 2 to 3 times a day.

Second, maintain the environment

Keep the orchid in a semi-shaded environment, giving it 2 to 3 hours of weak light in the morning and evening, and bright light for the rest of the time.

Reducing the light exposure of orchids can make them tend to absorb nitrogen when absorbing nutrients. Nitrogen can promote the growth of leaves and the growth of leaf buds.

Third, fertilization promotes

When fertilizing orchids in spring, you can prefer nitrogen fertilizer. For organic fertilizer, you can use "bean cake fertilizer". Apply it on the flower soil once every 10 days, and the fertilization method is "thin fertilizer and frequent application".

Urea can be used to promote bud growth. Urea contains more than 50% nitrogen. Urea has a fast fertilizer effect and strong fertility. It can be effectively absorbed by the root system and promote the growth of leaf buds .

Fourth, hormone promotion

In the daily management of orchids in spring, "gibberellic acid" can be used once every 15 days. It is not recommended to use "potassium dihydrogen phosphate" at this time.

Gibberellic acid can activate plant cells and promote cell division. It can also promote the absorption efficiency of photosynthesis. Dilute "gibberellic acid" 1200 times with water and irrigate the roots. It is also very helpful in promoting germination .
