Culture method of jadeite orchid

Pots soil requirements: the emerald spider orchid can be cultured in shallow pots in moldy soil. Watering management: dry rather than wet when watering, but dry weather can be more to the leaves, vines spray water. Light and temperature: Jade spider orchid likes semi-shady environment should not be exposed to the sun, the suitable temperature for growth is about 20℃-28℃. Fertilization management: a small amount of nitrogen fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate should be sprayed to the leaves for many times, and omethoate and dicofol can be sprayed in the later stage to prevent diseases and insect pests.

1. Cultivation method of emerald spider orchid

1. Basin soil requirements

The root system of emerald spider orchid is relatively shallow, and it can be cultured in shallow pots. The soil is suitable for using moldy soil.

2. Watering management

The leaves of P. jadei are succulent, juicy and drought resistant. In the breeding process, watering is better than wetting, which is beneficial to improving the survival rate of plants. When the climate is dry, water can be sprayed on the leaves and vines to supplement the lack of water and keep the green and plump beads of P. jadei.

3. Light management

Emerald spider orchid likes semi-shady environment, should not be exposed to the sun, it will easily burn the pearl body, when the light is weak, the growth is not so vigorous.

4. Temperature management

Jade spider orchid likes warm and humid, cold resistance, high temperature resistance, can withstand 0℃ low temperature, suitable temperature is about 20℃-28℃, high temperature and low temperature growth is relatively slow, especially in the high temperature environment above 30℃, almost in a dormant state, so it needs less watering and fertilization, otherwise it is easy to lead to rotten roots.

5. Fertilization management

Spring and autumn plant growth is more vigorous, fertilization should be a small number of times, can often spray 1-3‰ nitrogen fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves, conducive to promoting the growth of more green and plump beads, improve its ornamental value.

6. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

Common diseases and insect pests of emerald spider orchid include aphids and mites. When aphids occur in spring, 1500 times solution of omethoate can be sprayed for control. When mites occur in summer and autumn, 1000 times solution of dicofol can be sprayed for control. At the same time, ventilation and increased leaf humidity are needed to reduce the incidence of diseases and insect pests.

Second, the reproduction method of the emerald spider orchid

1. Plant division and reproduction

Plant division is one of the propagation methods of Jadeite spider orchid. Plant division propagation should not be carried out in winter, because the temperature in winter is too low, which will lead to plant dormancy. Usually, plant division propagation can be carried out when Jadeite spider orchid changes pots in spring. During this period, the old culture soil can be discarded and replaced with new culture soil. Then the old plants can be divided into several clusters, separated and transplanted in new pots, which can become new plants.

2. Cutting propagation

Cuttage is another propagation method of emerald spider orchid, which is also a common method. During this period, you can choose healthy branches of emerald spider orchid, cut off the raised parts, and then bury them shallow in the soil. At first, you only need to pour water once, and wait for about 30 days to start sprouting.
