The difference between Cymbidium and Cymbidium chinense

White grass is also a kind of ornamental plant, the leaves are delicate and soft, many people will plant white grass. But what is the difference between the white grass and the orchid?

I. the difference between Cymbidium and White Grass.

White grass and Cymbidium are often mistaken for Cymbidium because their color and plant shape are very similar. However, if you pay attention to the observation, you can tell the difference between the two. Although the leaves of Artemisia mandshurica are similar to those of Cymbidium, the stem will grow away from the root, and there will be plantlets growing on the stem, but the grass does not have this characteristic. The hypertrophic root of white grass is not found in Cymbidium, which is the best sign to distinguish between the two.

Second, how to raise hanging orchids?

1. Watering: Cymbidium is different from other plant species, its roots are very large, so it has a strong ability to store water and has a good ability to resist drought. Therefore, as long as the right amount of water can be, you can grow vigorously. Don't have too much, or the roots will rot and the plant will not grow.

two。 Fertilization: for the plant to grow vigorously, it is sometimes not enough to rely on nutrients in the soil, and some fertilizer is needed. Organic fertilizer can be used, such as bone meal, eggshell and so on. The frequency is about once a week to ten days. In this way, plants not only grow luxuriantly, but also have glossy leaves.

3. Lighting: the hanging orchid itself likes semi-shade. If you want it to thrive, it needs semi-shade maintenance, not to be directed by too strong light. The specific shading is about 50% to 70. If you keep it at home, you can put it behind the curtains.

Third, how to raise white grass?

1. Temperature and light: the temperature suitable for the growth of white leather is 22-28 ℃. If the temperature is below 15 ℃, it will fall into sleep, and the leaves will gradually turn yellow and wilt. White grass likes to have enough scattered light, and avoid strong direct sunlight in summer.

two。 Change water: the root of white grass is easy to rot in the initial stage of hydroponic culture, and the rotten root needs to be changed and removed every day. When the root system adapts to the aquatic environment and no longer rotten, change the water every 2-3 days, and change the water 10-15 days after it grows and takes root.

3. Fertilization: nutrient solution is added when changing water. When the growth of white leather is relatively rapid, nutrient solution should be added to provide nutrition for growth. When the summer weather is hot, you can often spray water to the leaves to keep the air moist and clean.

Cymbidium and white grass are similar in shape, so when buying flowers, you must distinguish them carefully so as not to be deceived.
