orchid roots dry

Orchids are delicate and have few leaves and flowers of this size is very small orchids ever need.

The right size orchids is to eliminate non-productive from a plant which, in turn, provide more nutrients to the rest of the plant. Thus, removing only the diseased or dead flowers, roots leaves and stems.

Due to a process called translocation in which parts of the plants die continue to feed the healthy portions moving nutrients, is important not to prune parts of the plant is still food.

Do not cut healthy leaves of an orchid. If meat left on a leaf or leaf stem, remains the transfer of nutrients to the root system. Instead of waiting until the leaves have turned yellow and dry at the place where you can remove them by gently pulling.

Orchid Pruning also includes cutting the flower stalk or stem. Please do not cut the stem if it is completely dry and crisp to the touch. How far to cut the rod depends only on the plant. More specific plant species is necessary. I give these details in the following articles on specific species.

Moreover, good sized orchids includes root pruning. Again, do not cut the roots if they are brown, wrinkled and rot. By cutting the roots, cut into small pieces, and if a piece is cut, which seems to be still alive, leave at once. After root pruning, water with plenty of water is not too hot or too cold.

Orchid Pruning should be done only when the plant is in its resting state. It is also the best time to return to their plant pot. If an orchid is cut during its growth cycle, there is a risk that the plant into shock or suffer permanent damage.

Orchid pruning is done better with a clean sharp blade. I recommend using a type of pruning shears. Sterilize cutting tools used after each plant before use on another. Because the fungus and bacteria can spread easily among the orchids. I also recommend washing your hands between each treatment plant to reduce the risk of spreading disease and fungi.

Orchid Orchid pruning will increase the process of photosynthesis and therefore become more green leaves and beautiful flowers. The size is an important part of maintaining a healthy and vibrant orchids. The advantages of size of orchids will be easily seen during the next growing season.
