What should you pay attention to when raising green jadeite at home?
1. The green emerald orchid belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family and is a perennial evergreen herbaceous plant. Its sword-like green leaves are broad and bright; its fire-like red flowers are in full bloom, and the red and green complement each other, making them dazzlingly beautiful and desirable. Green emerald orchids are suitable for indoor cultivation and are ideal and precious flowers for flower cultivation in buildings, halls, museums, and homes. To raise green emerald orchids well, you must first understand that green emerald orchids like a cool and humid environment. Afraid of the hot sun in summer and cold in winter. When the temperature is between 15 and 25°C, it is a suitable period for its growth; when it is below 10°C, it grows slowly; when it is below 5°C, it is in a dormant state; when it is below 0°C, the leaves are frozen, and in severe cases, they even freeze to death. Green emerald orchids are also afraid of the scorching sun and high temperatures. When the temperature is above 30°C, the leaves will turn yellow and scorch, or the entire plant will dry up and die. Green emerald orchids like to grow in loose, well-drained and acidic soil. 2. Spring: Avoid wind. In early spring, the roots of green emerald orchids begin to revive after hibernation. Due to the lack of nutrient supply, the leaves will become dehydrated when exposed to wind and sun, resulting in reduced brightness, hardness, and thickness. In severe cases, yellow leaves and rotten leaves may even occur. Therefore, you should pay more attention at this time: green emerald orchids are drought-tolerant but not wet-tolerant, so the potted plant can be kept generally moist. Overwatering may cause root rot. Avoid spraying water before the arrows bloom. Apply fully decomposed liquid fertilizer once a week or half a month, but follow the principle of "apply thin fertilizer frequently" and avoid applying thick fertilizer or raw fertilizer to avoid leaf scorch and root rot.
3. Summer: avoid sunlight. Green emerald orchids have loose requirements for light, preferring semi-shade, but are afraid of direct light. Because the air temperature and soil temperature are high in summer, the root system is prone to disorder, and the absorption of nutrients is unbalanced, leading to phenomena such as neck pulling and leaf shifting. In addition, due to strong sunlight, transpiration is greatly increased. If watered improperly, the leaves will appear old, scorched, and even wilted. Therefore, the requirements for growing in midsummer are: Shading. It is best to place the potted plants in a shade shed or under the shade of a tree, and avoid direct sunlight at noon. Cooling: In addition to placing the potted plants in a cool and ventilated place, it is also necessary to spray water frequently to cool down. The temperature should be controlled below 25°C and the humidity should be in an environment of 60 to 70%. Weight loss: When the green emerald orchid is at 25℃, it is necessary to lose weight appropriately or stop fertilizing. Applying too much fertilizer will burn the fleshy roots. Watering: Water when the pot soil is semi-dry, but water thoroughly. Do not let water drip into the leaves to avoid heart rot.
4. Autumn: Avoid rain and spray water. In autumn, the climate becomes cooler. In the days of continuous autumn rain, adult green emerald orchids have more opportunities to cut off the seeds and bloom on the arrows. This is If it is exposed to rain or overwatered, it will lead to rotten roots, rotten arrows, rotten hearts and other phenomena. Therefore, avoid spraying water when the upper arrow is blooming. Every half a month or so, pour decomposed cake fertilizer and water (1:3). When watering, prevent water from infiltrating into the center of the leaves, and do not allow rainwater to penetrate into the leaves to avoid rotten stamens. In severe cases, the entire plant will rot to death.
5. Winter: avoid low temperature and dryness. In winter, when the green emerald orchid is at a low temperature below 5℃, the pot soil must be kept at about 70% humidity to prevent it from drying out and causing frostbite. If the moisture content is less than 20%, it is susceptible to death from dry freezing. Before frost comes, the indoor plants should be placed in a sunny place indoors, and attention should be paid to anti-freeze and warmth. About half a month, the potted plants should be rotated 180° to facilitate the neat and beautiful growth of leaves. In winter, when the indoor temperature is between 6 and 7°C, it can survive the winter safely. Apply fermented cake fertilizer once a month and pour liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so (nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied too much). Three months before flowering, apply liquid fertilizer mainly phosphorus and potash to promote flowering. In winter, the green emerald orchid enters the dormant period, and the evaporation of water is relatively reduced. The pot soil can be kept moist, but it should be dry. Do not frequently cut off the water, accumulate water, or water half of the water. Otherwise it will also cause scorched leaves or root rot.
6. During the maintenance process of green emerald orchids throughout the year, the potted plants should be sprayed frequently with clean water. It is best to wipe them dry with fine cloth after spraying. This can not only increase the smoothness of the leaves, but also improve the ornamental value. value.
