Beautiful orchid - a special plant. At the same time, capricious and unpretentious, it requires proper care and timely re-examination.
1
Flowers argue that orchid does not need a frequent change of substrate - one transplantation in 2-2.5 years more than enough. The optimal time for a planned plant transfers is a warm spring-summer period, but sometimes "save" tropical beauty must be immediately.
2
The urgent transplantation of the plant is carried out in such cases:
From the pot is heard a unpleasant smell of dampness, delights or sharpness;
The substrate crumpled, substantially donkey, the plant freely dangles in the pot;
After irrigation, the vase becomes much harder than before;
The plant looks exhausted or faded;
In a flower pot, there were any pests (mites, multicast, worms or snails);
Orchid roots changed the color (brown or gray-brown gray);
The root system of the plant completely fills the pot and displaces the substrate.
3
With a transplant of just acquired orchids, it is not necessary to hurry - it should be adapted in your home within 2-3 weeks. The plant is transplanted only after the end of the flowering phase in a transparent pot with holes at the bottom for ventilation of the root system (it must be larger diameter and height than the previous one). A new flower pot before planting orchids is sure to hide with boiling water and dried.
4
In order to safely and carefully remove the orchid from the old pot, paint it with water room temperature (if the plant was in the plastic container, it can be simply cut). Then carefully clean the roots from the remnants of the soil, rinse them in a little warm water and carefully inspect.
5
Armed with sharp scissors or a secateur (tool pre-process alcohol), cut dry, damaged and fired root fragments. Remember that healthy roots can not be cut or shorten. Sections of sections necessarily displace the deposited activated carbon powder or treat the fungicide. Before transplanting, be sure to dry the plant on a paper towel within 4-6 hours.
6
After "drying" orchids to the bottom of the pot, put a small drainage layer (approximately 3-5 cm) from the pebbles of the ceramzit or small clay shards. Then, carefully place the prepared plant in the pot and evenly fill the emptiness with a special substrate, trying not to damage the fragile roots of orchids. Before using the soil mixture (it can be bought in any of the specialized flower shops and, if desired, supplement the coconut fiber, chopped nut shell, pieces of fern roots and other organic), it is desirable to roller in the oven.
7
Carefully tapping the pot on the walls, slightly compact the soil so that the orchid does not flaw. Long air roots can not be reel, but leave on the substrate surface. If necessary, bring the flowerons with a bamboo-supporting label.
8
After the transplantation daily spray the leaves of the plant, it is possible to water orchid only after 5-6 days (for watering and irrigation, it is best to use talu water). Also do not hurry with fertilizer. Start feeding the plant only after 3-4 weeks after resetting.
As you can see, the change of orchid - the event is scrupulous, but not complicated. Follow our instructions - and exotic beauty will delight you with great blossom.
