The way of maintenance in July and August in Melan.
Maintaining Melan is not an easy task, especially during the hot months of July and August, which require careful care. Below, we'll take a closer look at how to care for your orchids in July and August to help you get them to thrive and bloom.
Moran prefers a warm, humid environment with a suitable growing temperature of 18-28 degrees Celsius. In July and August, the temperature is high and the light is strong, which poses a certain challenge to the growth of Melan. Therefore, we need to formulate corresponding maintenance strategies according to the growth habits of Molan.
In July and August, Melan grows faster and requires relatively more water. However, due to the high temperature, the water evaporates quickly, which can easily cause the potting soil to be too dry. Therefore, pay attention to the following points when watering:
Observe the moisture of the potting soil: Observe the moisture of the potting soil every morning or evening, and if the surface of the potting soil is slightly dry, you can water.
Control the amount of watering: Water in moderation and avoid too much or too little. Generally speaking, summer watering should follow the principle of "seeing dry and wet", that is, watering after the surface of the potting soil is slightly dry, and watering until there is water seeping out at the bottom of the pot.
Avoid watering during high temperature periods: Watering during high temperature hours can easily cause the water temperature to be too high and burn the root system of Mo Lan. Therefore, it is best to do watering in the morning or evening.
In July and August, Melan is in the growing season, and the demand for fertilizer is greater. However, too much or too much fertilizer can easily lead to fertilizer damage and affect the growth of Molan. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the following points when fertilizing:
Choose the right fertilizer: Mo Lan likes well-rotted organic fertilizers, such as humus, well-rotted animal manure, etc. In addition, you can also choose a special orchid fertilizer specifically for Molan.
Control the frequency and concentration of fertilization: Generally speaking, the frequency of fertilization in summer is to apply once every 10-15 days, and the concentration should be moderate and avoid overconcentration.
Pay attention to the fertilization method: when fertilizing, the fertilizer should be evenly sprinkled on the surface of the potting soil, and then rinsed with water to avoid the fertilizer remaining on the leaves and causing burns.
Mo Lan prefers a half-shade and half-yang environment, and too strong or too weak light will affect its growth. In July and August, the sun is strong and proper shading is required.
Choose the right shade net: Choose the right shade net for shade according to the local light intensity and the growth of the black orchid. Generally speaking, the shading rate of shade netting is between 50% and 70%.
Adjust the shade time: In the morning and evening, when the light is low, you can reduce the shade time appropriately to allow the Mo Lan to receive some sun exposure. And at noon, when the sun is strong, the shade should be strengthened to avoid the exposure of Mo Lan.
July and August are the peak periods for Moran pests and diseases, which require regular pest control.
Observe the growth of Molan: Regularly inspect the leaves, roots and other parts of Molan, and deal with abnormal conditions in time.
Prevention of pests and diseases: Before watering, fertilizing and other operations, tools should be disinfected to avoid the spread of pests and diseases. In addition, you can also add some insect repellent to the potting soil to prevent the breeding of pests.
Take the best measures: Once the pests and diseases are found, take the best measures in time. Spraying or root irrigation can be done with pesticides, fungicides, etc., which are specifically specific to Molan. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the amount and frequency of drug use to avoid harm to Molan.
Keep it ventilated: In July and August, the temperature is high and the air humidity is high, which is easy to breed bacteria and pests. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the growing environment of Molan well ventilated to avoid the breeding of pests and diseases.
Regular soil change: Melan's root system is well developed and needs plenty of room to grow. In July and August, you can consider changing the soil for Molan to provide a more suitable environment for its growth. When changing soil, pay attention to choosing the right soil and pots, and properly water and fertilize after changing the soil.
Pruning branches and leaves: Excessive foliage will affect its ventilation and light effect, and it is easy to breed diseases and pests. Therefore, in July and August, the branches and leaves can be pruned properly to keep them beautiful and healthy. Be careful not to damage the roots and leaves of the orchid when pruning.
To sum up, the maintenance of Molan in July and August needs to pay attention to watering, fertilization, light, pest control and other aspects. Only by mastering the right maintenance methods and putting them into practice can Molan thrive and bloom into a charming flower. Hopefully, this article can provide useful reference and help for your Melan conservation.
