It's a meticulous job to raise orchids. It's very important to choose the best soil. If the economic conditions allow, you can actually choose a better flowerpot. The basin should not be too large, but to ensure that the root system stretches, the new flowerpot needs to be soaked, and the old flowerpot needs to be sterilized before use. For the soil, it can use a variety of plant materials to make the soil rich in humus and have better drainage performance, and the soil is better to present slight acidity.
Song Mei likes a half shade environment, with scattered light as the best, avoid direct sunlight. During the growth period of Songmei, the light must be sufficient, too weak or too strong will have a bad effect on the growth of the plant. The suitable growth temperature of Songmei is between 20 ℃ and 30 ℃. If the temperature is too low in winter, it needs to be kept warm or put in a sunny place indoors for maintenance. In summer, when the sun is strong and the temperature is too high, we need to ventilate and cool down. We can use sunscreen to block most of the sun.
The watering of Songmei mainly depends on the size of the flowerpot, the growth, ventilation and temperature of the plant. Watering depends on whether the plant is short of water. After the soil is dry, it needs to be watered. The water temperature should be about the same as the temperature, especially in summer and winter. In order to make the leaves grow beautiful, we need to apply some foliar fertilizer. However, in winter dormancy period and song Mei flowering time, generally do not apply fertilizer.
With the growth of Songmei, the root system grows, the stem nodes become more and more, and the soil loses fertility and needs to be turned basin. Generally, the turning basin is carried out every 2 to 3 years, and can be propagated by plants at the same time.
The propagation of Songmei is mainly in ramets, and it can also be propagated by seeding and tissue culture, but it needs a long period.
In the process of growth, diseases such as mould disease, white silk disease, black spot disease and anthrax will appear in Songmei, and there will also be pests such as scale insects. Measures should be taken to prevent and treat the disease.
