Chapter 22: Orchids
After Yunxi and his father bought flowers together, they returned to their aunt's house for another night, and then left and returned home the next day.
The ox cart on the return journey, slippery to noon just arrived home, there was already a servant woman to cook a meal, a simple meal, Yunxi only felt alive, although the ox cart is much more stable than the carriage, but the road is really not much smooth, although it can already be regarded as an official road.
After eating, I took a hot bath, threw myself on the bed and took a nap, and woke up at three or four o'clock, and finally had the energy to see the flowers.
Jasmine has nothing to say, as long as the soil pH is about the same, not hot and cold, and then fertilize diligently, it can grow very well, this pot from the Fu family grows well, take the scissors to prune the inner branches a little, too dense branches, even if it is completed.
If you look at orchids again, it's more troublesome. First of all, it is necessary to find out the reason why the yellow leaves of orchids are scorched, and the reasons for scorched orchids are generally divided into three categories:
One is the focus point caused by natural factors; the second is the focus caused by improper management; The third is the scorching tip caused by germs.
Among the natural factors, there are three reasons: low humidity, sudden climate change, and air pollution.
Management does not include too much light, ? Long-term shade cultivation, water damage to seedlings, fertilizer damage to leaves, pesticide application is too concentrated, planting material is too dry and other factors.
There are several diseases such as bacterial brown spot, anthracnose, black spot, leaf blight, and blight in the scorched tip caused by the fungus.
The above diseases sometimes occur in a single occurrence, and sometimes several diseases occur at the same time. However, Yunxi was the first to rule out the cause of the disease, because it is said that this orchid has been raised for many years, and the scorched tip of the orchid leaves caused by the fungus is generally more serious. Even if it constitutes a deterrent to the life of Lan Zhu, it can be ruled out if it can be in this state for many years without dying.?
Then you can rule out air pollution, the two reasons for excessive pesticide application, in ancient times, I dare not say good, the air quality is absolutely fine, there are green trees everywhere, the air is fresh, that is, orchids have been sprayed, and the anthers in ancient times should not be too harmful.
According to Fu Mingkun, this orchid has been kept on the windowsill of the study, and there is no frequent fertilization, so there is no excessive light and fertilizer to hurt the leaves.
After excluding the above factors, there are four reasons left: too low humidity, long-term shade cultivation, water damage to seedlings, and too dry planting material.
Yunxi checked the planting material again, and sure enough, the problem is in the planting material, humus and coarse sand, in principle, it is not impossible, but the indoor air circulation is slightly poor, and the proportion of humus is seventy or eighty, which is not good, the water absorption is too strong, resulting in poor root growth, and the plant naturally has no way to grow well.
There is also a main reason, Yunxi feels that the humidity is not enough, in fact, this problem is obvious, the air in the north is dry, like orchids, buttercups and other shade-loving flowers, in the north are not very good, especially many people take it for granted that the moisture-loving flowers should be watered more, resulting in too much watering, in fact, this moisture-loving is not like the moisture of the soil, but like the humidity of the air, and the humidity of the air can not be increased by spraying the foliage, watering more rotten roots, spraying more water to block pores, affecting photosynthesis and respiration, Over time, the leaves will be yellow and rotten, especially in summer, you should be cautious to spray water, the water droplets attached to the leaf surface gather sunlight, and it is easy to burn the leaf surface.
If you find the cause, the problem is simple, reduce humus, increase stone, enhance air permeability, and water permeability.
There is no planting stone, no ceramsite and other stones, so I have to take local materials, first collect some old green bricks, find an adult to help smash them, and pick up suitable particles for retention.
Then Yunxi saw that it was not too late, so he and Yuanyuan went to the river to dig sand, one carrying two small shovels, and one carrying a rattan basket. The shovel digs the sand, and the basket filters the fine sand and fills the coarse sand. The coarse sand is used as orchid planting material, and the fine sand is not wasted, and Yunxi plans to transport it home to fill the cuttings pond in the future.
Passing through the middle courtyard, Yuan Yuan said: "Second lady, should we ask Xiao Langjun to go together." Yunxi thought about it and agreed, digging sand by the river should be fun for children.
But after a while, Yuanyuan came back alone.
"What about Yunkai? He doesn't go? "Yunxi is very strange, don't children like this?
"Xiao Langjun has already gone out to play?"
"Don't call me when you go out to play, this stinky kid ......"
"Little lady, you used to ...... before" Yuanyuan looked at Yunxi hesitantly and hesitantly.
Oh, Yunxi remembered, it seemed that she had disliked all the children in the village before, and no one wanted to play with her.
Yunxi was depressed for a while, and now he doesn't have time to be a good neighbor and friendly, forget it, let's talk about it later, "If you're not there, you're not here, let's go by ourselves." ”
I didn't want to see a group of children playing in the pile of rocks on the riverbank as soon as I arrived at the river, Yunxi and Yuanyuan ignored them and walked over with their things.
Yunkai and Fu Junzhuo saw them and said hello, hey, there are more than a dozen children, only two of them greet themselves, and one is their own younger brother, this popularity, there is no one.
Yunxi shook his head and took Yuanyuan to the sandy river beach.
was digging in the river sand, and an arrogant voice came, "Hey, Yunxi, I'm here to help you." ”
Yunxi turned his head and looked, ho! Fu Junzhuo led seven or eight subordinates, carrying shovels in their hands, wooden barrels, and sand nets, what is this for? Digging sand to build a house?
"You're all here to help me?"
"Yes," Fu Xiaolang Jun was proud and waved his hand, "You all listen to Yunxi's command, do a good job, you will be rewarded for your good work, and you will be served by a board if you don't do a good job." ”
The eight subordinates shouted in unison: "Don't worry, Xiao Langjun, we will work hard." He turned to Yunxi again and shouted: "Please ask the second lady to command." ”
The voice was so neat and loud that it smoothly made Yunxi frown, this is too public, I didn't see the group of children playing in the stone pile came to see the excitement, look at the eyes of a few of the little ladies, this is to pull hatred for me!
"Fu Junzhuo, I thank you, I just need a little bit of sand, I can just make it myself, I don't need to help."
Can Fu Junzhuo listen? No, I can't!
"It's okay, Yunxi, they have nothing to do at home, the idle butt hurts, you can pity them and give them some work to do."
A few people on the side shouted in their hearts: "We don't need to be pitiful, please take pity on us!" "It's a pity that I don't dare to say it.
Yunxi was very helpless and sad. You say, "Shall I use it or shall I use it?"
Yunxi and Yuanyuan went to the river to wash their hands, poured the sand that had been made, carried an empty basket and stood on the side, coughed twice, and said loudly:
"Well, you guys start drying, you have to get out of the fine sand and coarse sand, of course, it's not good to be as big as this."
A few subordinates can't do it now, so let's do it. They were much more neat than Yunxi and Yuanyuan, and after a while, they were stacked in two large piles.
Yunxi smiled like a flower, and said to Fu Junzhuo: "Fu Junzhuo, there are already a lot, half of them will be transported home first." ”
Fu Junzhuo nodded, and ordered to go down, and someone carried buckets of sand to the Ye family.
There was too much sand, and in the end Ye Yuan was alarmed, "Yunxi, what are you doing with so much sand?" ”
Yunxi looked innocent, "I didn't want to get more, Fu Junzhuo has to help, I'll dig more, and use it slowly in the future." ”
Ye Yuan looked at the piles of sand on the river beach and was quite speechless, when did he want to use it? It's almost time to build a house.
Yunxi secretly laughed in his heart, now it's okay, you can get a big cuttings pool next year, Fu Junzhuo, this kid, is still a good kid in general.
Yunxi let these people do it by themselves, and went back to the Ye family with Fu Junzhuo.
"Yunxi, what do you want all this sand for?"
"You don't know?" Yunxi was a little surprised, you don't know what you are blind, sure enough, children are children. However, Yunxi thinks that she is a very patient and gentle little girl. patiently explained his plan to Fu Junzhuo, and naturally got the admiring gaze of Fu Xiao's classmate, wow, Yunxi, you are so amazing, there is no need to say it at all, your star eyes can be perfectly expressed......
So I can't help but say that our Yunxi classmate is really good at brain supplementation.
When he got home, Yuanyuan boiled a lot of hot water, Yunxi carefully bathed the sand and bricks, and scalded the original soil in the orchid pot, and the orchid roots were also washed with warm water to clean up the rotten roots. Then install the proportion of seven particles and three humus mixed planting materials, plant the orchids from the new, water them, and sure enough, they were quickly left.
“OK! Nailed it. Yunxi clapped his hands happily.
“OK? What do you mean? "Yuanyuan and Fu Junzhuo are both good boys, just ask if you don't understand.
Yunxi scratched his head, "That, that's the meaning of completion and goodness, I learned it in Youzhou." ”
"OK, it's easy, I've learned."
