How to raise Cateran Flowers methods and points for attention of Carter Orchid Culture

Cartland is an outstanding orchid variety, very beautiful, it likes a warm environment, adaptability is also relatively strong, as long as there is the right temperature and soil, can survive, so how to raise beautiful Cateran flowers in the end? what do you need to pay attention to when breeding? Let's take a look.

How to raise Cateran flowers

First, the ripe fruit was selected, then the fruit was soaked in 0.1% mercury solution for 20 minutes, then the fruit was rinsed with sterile water for 4 or 5 times, and then the white powdery seeds were inoculated into the seed germination liquid medium for culture. a week later, the embryo germinated, and a green protocorm with a diameter of 1-2mm was formed in 20 days, and then the formed protocorm was inoculated on the seedling medium with a straw. Complete plantlets can be formed in one month, and can grow into strong plantlets after 45 days of culture. finally, when the test-tube plantlets can grow to 3 cm high, they can be transferred to natural light for 1-2 weeks, and then they can be planted.

Methods and points for attention of Carter Orchid Culture

I. Culture methods

1. Temperature

The suitable growth temperature of Cartland is 20-30 ℃, then 12-24 ℃ in March next year, 25-30 ℃ in the daytime and 15-20 ℃ in the middle of the night. The daily difference of 5-10 ℃ is the best. In order not to let it enter the semi-dormancy state, the temperature of the greenhouse should reach more than 10 ℃ in winter.

2. Lighting

Cartland is suitable for growing in a semi-overcast environment, and the pseudo-corm with too much light is easy to burn and induce other diseases. 50-60% of the light should be shaded in seasons other than winter.

3. Moisture

Cartland has a high air humidity, sufficient water in the growing season, but not too much watering, especially in winter, when its plants are in a semi-dormant state, watering should be controlled. Otherwise, it is easy to lead to rotting roots and death.

4. Fertilizer

Cartland needs relatively little fertilizer, which needs to be fully mature. Stop fertilizing when the temperature is above 32 ℃ or below 15 degrees Celsius, and during flowering and dormancy, so as not to damage the rhizome.

Matters needing attention in aquaculture

1, cultivate Cartland do not change the direction of the flowerpot at will, if constantly change its line of defense, due to light, can cause fleshy petiole atrophy, if the leaf twisted yellow, it will affect flowering.

2. Pest control, common pests include shell insects, whitefly, small pocket moth and slug.

What if the leaves of Cateran flowers turn yellow?

1. Water yellow: due to excessive watering, the soil is wet for a long time, the air permeability is relatively poor, and even part of the fibrous roots become rotten. At this time, watering should be reduced and watered reasonably according to the demand.

2. Fat yellow: it usually refers to excessive fertilization, which shows that the tip of the old leaf turns yellow and falls off. Although the new leaf is relatively thick and shiny, it is generally shown as concave and convex. If it is a valuable flower, you can sprinkle a layer of cabbage or radish seeds and pull it out a few days after emergence in order to consume nutrients.

3. Dry yellow: due to the lack of water or dehydration for a long time, although the color of the new leaves is relatively normal, the lower leaves gradually dry yellow and become aging.

4. Alkali yellow: this mainly occurs in some acidic soils in the south, while the alkaline water quality in the north shows that the leaves gradually fade and turn yellow, or even fall off. The easiest way is to pour fermented rice washing water or Rain Water.

How to trim Cartland

1. Disinfect the scissors used for pruning each time, put them in a cool place to dry and trim them.

2. Cartland generally has more flowers, not many will not bloom at the same time, when some flowers bloom, some flowers have withered or turned brown, so cut off these withered flowers in time to avoid affecting flowering.

3. If you want to blossom again in the coming year, it is best to cut the inflorescence axis from the base. When the substrate is aging, it should be changed in time, and the pots should be changed in May or June when the new leaves grow. It is best to put a layer of water plants on the original water plants and put them in a slightly larger flowerpot.

Although the Cateran flower is good-looking, if it is not careful in the planting process, it is prone to leaf yellow, insect pests and other problems, so in view of these situations, the editor also introduces the corresponding solutions one by one, and we can do the prevention work in advance. In addition, timely pruning is quite necessary if the Cateran flower is to grow better.
