1、 Effect of water on Cymbidium

1. Water is an important component of it. Its water content is above 80%. If the water content decreases, its growth will be affected. If it loses water, its protoplasm will be eroded and it will die

2. Water has many functions, such as promoting its metabolism and keeping cells full. In addition, hydrolysis reaction also needs water. Moreover, the nutrients in the soil must be dissolved in water before they can be absorbed by the roots, and they also need to be transported through water

3. Water can fix its shape. If there is enough water, it will grow straight to exchange light and gas. On the contrary, water shortage is easy to shrink. Water can also regulate its body temperature, keep it warm and release heat

2、 Water supply route

The first is to absorb water through the root, and then use the vascular tube to transport the water to the whole body of the flower. The second is to absorb the water vapor in the air through the leaves to provide the water it needs for metabolism

3、 Watering method

1. Water the roots

If it is irrigation, it should be irrigated along the edge of the flowerpot, so it takes many times to pour through the soil. If it is watering, you can wet the whole vicinity of the flower and let the water penetrate into the soil, but be careful not to sprinkle it into the heart of the leaf, otherwise it is easy to rot the heart. You can also put the plant material together with 4 / 3 of the basin in the water. The water will soon wet the soil, but be careful of bacterial erosion

2. Water the leaves

If it is sprayed, it can be sprayed directly on the leaves, and it can absorb water through the pores. If it is humidification, it can increase the moisture in the air, put some water basins under the blue frame, and use a humidification pump

4、 Water volume and timing

If it is too wet, the root will be difficult to breathe and will rot. If it is short of water, it will shrink, its growth will be frustrated, and it is likely to wither. Therefore, the water content must be moderate. When the soil in the basin is not completely dry, and the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin is relatively moist but not wet, this is the best time to water it. There is no need to wait until it is dry before watering it, which will damage its development
