Culture method of tiger tail orchid

Soil: Tiger tail orchid can use garden soil and cinder to prepare soil according to the ratio of 3:2. Watering: the basin soil is kept slightly dry, watered every 3 days in spring and autumn, every day in summer and 7 days in winter. Fertilization: fertilizer is applied once in about 15 days during the peak growth period, and stop fertilization in winter. Light: shade-resistant, but placed in a bright and ventilated place is more conducive to the healthy growth of plants. Temperature: the suitable temperature is about 16-30 ℃. When the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, it is necessary to increase the temperature and replenish the light in time.

First, choose soil

Tiger tail orchid likes to be cultured in loose soil, so it is necessary to choose suitable soil for culture. during this period, garden soil and cinder can be used in accordance with the ratio of 3:2, so as to make the soil fertile and loose. and has good drainage and air permeability.

Second, appropriate watering

When breeding tiger tail orchid, appropriate amount of watering is needed, during which the basin soil can be slightly dry, and it is not appropriate to let the basin soil be too moist to avoid rotting in the humid environment. Generally, in spring and autumn, water can be watered every 2-3 days. Watering can be carried out every day when entering summer, and watering should be reduced every 7 days when entering winter.

Third, stop fertilizing in winter

In winter, the growth rate of tiger-tail orchid will slow down, so it can not fully absorb fertilizer, so we can stop applying fertilizer at this time, but in the vigorous growth period of tiger-tail orchid, it is necessary to apply a small amount of fertilizer many times and give it sufficient nutrients. It is generally possible to chase fertilizer every 15 days or so, which is beneficial to the growth of tiger-tail orchid.

4. Adequate light

Tiger tail orchid is more shady, but it is not suitable for long-term breeding in a cool place, which will make its leaves grow too long, lack of luster and appear yellowing and rot, so it can be cultured in a bright and ventilated place and given sufficient light for photosynthesis. it is beneficial to the healthy growth of the plant.

5. Warm environment

Cymbidium is not tolerant to low temperature, so if it is to be cultured in a warm growing environment, the temperature should be controlled at about 16-30 ℃ during culture, which is conducive to maintaining the normal growth rate. In winter, it is easy to suffer frost damage due to low temperature, so it is necessary to increase temperature and replenish light in time to avoid the occurrence of low temperature below 5 ℃.

VI. Change the basin in time

Cymbidium grows relatively rapidly. In the process of culture, it is found that the flowerpot has limited the subsequent growth of the plant, so it is necessary to change the pot in time. After taking out the old flowerpot, it can be replanted in a breathable and large flowerpot.

VII. Prevention and control of diseases and insect pests

Usually, it is necessary to do a good job in the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests. If sick branches and leaves are found, they can be cut off with scissors and sprayed with carbendazim solution for sterilization and disinfection. It is also necessary to spray insecticidal agents regularly to prevent the breeding of germs and pests. It is beneficial to promote the healthy growth of tiger tail orchid.
