How to make orchids take root quickly

How to quickly root orchids

1. Planting of miscellaneous wood husks

To make orchids take root quickly, you can plant them with fresh sawdust. Using fresh sawdust to cultivate orchids can keep moisture, ventilate, and drain quickly, which is beneficial to the development of orchid roots. Because sawdust is loose, has large gaps, and has strong moisture retention, it can provide a good rooting environment for orchids. It should be noted that the sawdust should not be used for too long, and it should be replaced immediately after the orchid takes root.

2. Adjust pH

Orchids can take root quickly by adjusting the pH of the soil and providing a suitable acidic matrix to promote rooting. Specific operation: water with diluted salicylic acid solution, or dilute alcohol-dissolved aspirin powder with a large amount of water and slowly water the orchid.

3. Fertilization to promote growth

Orchids without roots cannot absorb nutrients and water through their roots, but only through their leaves and stems. To protect the stems from pests and diseases, you should also spray water and fertilizer on the leaves to promote the growth of orchids and make them grow new roots quickly. Orchids are fertilizer-loving plants, so you should give them basal fertilizer when planting, and add liquid fertilizer and foliar fertilizer during the growth period.

4. Temperature Control Pruning

Orchids require an environment that is neither too cold nor too hot. Therefore, in order to make orchids take root quickly, they must be given the right temperature. If it is cold, they must be kept warm, and if it is hot, they must be cooled down. In addition, during the rooting process of orchids, they must be properly pruned to remove diseased and dead leaves and reduce nutrient loss.

Hydroponic orchid rooting

First treat the roots of the orchid. Soak the roots in clean water for two days and then check whether the roots are broken or rotten. If so, then it is not okay. Only if the roots are relatively healthy and intact can hydroponics be carried out.

During the cultivation process, place it in a well-lit place. Adequate light can promote the full development of its roots, making the leaves grow thicker and fuller, and will not cause excessive growth.

If the mouth of the container is relatively large, the roots can be fixed. Small stones can be used for fixing, which looks particularly primitive. With gravity, the roots can grow more vigorously and will not float or tilt.
