The method of Cuttage Propagation of Cymbidium how to prune the branches and leaves

Chiba is a potted orchid loved by the majority of flower friends, whose leaves are round or heart-shaped, branches and leaves are draped, and will hang down from all around the flowerpot, which is of great aesthetic value. However, this kind of plant grows rapidly, so it is very suitable for cutting to propagate, which is a welfare for many people. But when pruning branches, you still have to do it in your own way.

The method of Cuttage Propagation of Cymbidium paniculata

1. Time

In the time of cutting, spring cutting, summer cutting and autumn cutting are better.

2. Cuttings selection

When Cymbidium is cutting, it is very important to choose the right cuttings. The main requirement is to enrich the branches of Chiba, which is really long, about 5-10cm. When cutting cuttings, you should choose twigs, preferably those with top buds, and then remove the leaves at the lower end of the state and keep fewer leaves.

3. Specific methods

After the cuttings are treated, the cuttings can be cut, and a round flowerpot with a diameter of about 7.5cm is selected for cutting. the substrate for cutting is generally breathable mixed soil. Multiple branches can usually be cut in a flowerpot. Insert the branches into the soil, and the rest should be cut in the order from the center to the outside.

Cymbidium cuttings, generally in spring and summer cuttings rooting speed is relatively fast, 2-3 weeks or so, can take root. However, the growth of the thousand-leaf orchid is relatively slow, so choose a small flowerpot when cutting, and it is better to cut a whole flowerpot. When Cymbidium starts to grow, some fertilizers can be applied to promote growth.

How to prune the branches and leaves of Chiba

1. When pruning, you must not be distressed, and certainly not too ruthless. Restore the plant to its original appearance, cut it short properly, and keep the scissors as beautiful as you think. It is very resilient, so you don't have to worry that cutting off the branches and leaves will endanger its life.

2. When pruning, you should first cut off the dead or damaged branches (see that the damaged branches can be carried out at any time), and then cut off the branches that affect the beauty. In short, you should make sure that the branches are beautiful, and that the branches and leaves are not cut very neatly.

How to cultivate Chiba in hydroponics

1. Selection of hydroponic utensils

In hydroponic culture, it is necessary to choose a suitable container, preferably transparent glassware, so that it is easier to observe the growth status of the orchid, whether it needs to change water and how the roots grow. When hydroponics, the container you choose should be shorter and have a bigger belly, so it looks better. Those who are interested can also choose a fish tank and raise fish, that is, you can watch flowers and fish, killing two birds with one stone. You can also choose wide-mouth glass bottles, glasses and other containers to make hydroponic utensils.

In the early stage of hydroponics, we can choose a small container, and with the growth of Cymbidium, we can change to larger utensils.

2. Hydroponic culture medium

It is also important to choose nutrient solution when hydroponics. In hydroponics, it is best to use a special nutrient solution for soilless cultivation of foliage plants, and the water in the container can be changed every few days. In summer, you can use ordinary water instead of nutrient solution. The clear water should be precipitated in advance, and the water should be changed once a week.

3. Hydroponic training skills

Choose the right vessel and pour the prepared nutrient solution into the container. Remove the potted thousand-leaf orchid from the pot and remove the soil, wash the roots with clean water, cut off the old leaves and roots, and make them suitable for hydroponic use. Put the Chiba orchid in the vessel and comb the shape. Qianye Cymbidium hydroponics pay attention to the water is not too much, just to the rhizome is appropriate. Can apply some liquid fertilizer, fertilizer can not be too high.

How to fertilize the Chiba orchid

1. According to the status

Cymbidium is more in need of fertilizer support, adequate nutrients will also reduce its diseases and insect pests; the most obvious feature of the lack of nutrients is that the leaves will turn yellow. Adequate fertilizer can be applied before planting or when changing pots.

2. According to time

Growth period: spring and autumn are the most prosperous periods for its growth, and it needs a lot of nutrients, so fertilization has become very important, which can be carried out every 15 days.

Winter: to shorten the frequency of use in winter, you can operate once a month. If the winter temperature is too low, you can stop fertilization, and continue to apply fertilizer when the temperature returns to normal.

Summer: fertilization should also be suspended at the highest temperature in summer. Operation can not be given too much at a time, which is easy to cause damage to plants, the same can not be too long without fertilization, although it belongs to plants with a high survival rate, but if there is no nutrient supply for a long time, it will slowly wither.

For breeding Chiba, in addition to the correct daily maintenance, pruning is also a very necessary step. It grows very fast, and proper pruning can keep the plant beautiful, so flower friends don't have to be too distressed.
