What are the breeding methods of tiger skin orchid in winter

There are many kinds of tigeria, but the most common breeding methods are mainly divided propagation method and cuttage propagation method, so we only need to pay attention to fertilization, pay attention to temperature, in the cold winter we can still cultivate beautiful tigeria, for the cold winter to increase a little vitality.

How do you raise tigeria in winter?

Plants will not freeze to death in winter, we must first understand its growth habits, tiger skin orchid adaptability, sexual love warm and humid, drought tolerance, love light and shade tolerance. The soil requirements are not strict, and the sandy loam with good drainage is better. The optimum temperature for its growth is 20~30℃, and the overwintering temperature is 10℃. Tiger orchid leaves have a high water content. If frostbite occurs, the cells will freeze and burst. It is easy to die from frostbite and weakness. Tiger orchid cannot survive at temperatures below zero.

1, try not to put it outdoors, keep the indoor temperature. The temperature must be above 5 degrees, if it is lower than 5 degrees, it should be placed indoors and heated for winter. Where there is no heating, you can put a transparent protective film on the tiger skin to keep warm.

2, because tiger orchid is desert plant, afraid of freezing afraid of waterlogging. In the absence of heating, air conditioning should stop watering, until the temperature is stable above 20℃ and then watering.

3. Do not fertilize in winter.

What are the breeding methods of tiger orchid?

1. Plant division propagation method

This method can be carried out throughout the year, but the temperature of the environment is required to be controlled between 15 and 20 ° C. However, spring and summer are the most suitable seasons, and spring can be combined with pot change for plant division. Basin soil selection basin soil should be selected loose, fertile, permeable sandy soil with good performance. First, remove the soil from the roots, expose the rhizomes, and divide the plants into several clusters (at least 2~3 leaves per cluster). Apply sulfur powder or plant ash to the incision and dry it before placing in the basin. Sprinkle some fine sand on the roots of the plants, which is conducive to survival, 2~3 plants per pot. After the plant is divided, the plant is watered sufficiently, and the plant is placed in a cool place for 2 to 3 days to adapt to the environment, and then the normal maintenance is performed.

2. Cutting propagation

Cuttage propagation method of tigeria is simple, as long as the room temperature is 15~25℃, cuttage can be carried out. Cutting method will mature leaves (more than one year old) cross-section into about 8 cm of small sections (can also be longer), shade air 1 to 2 days after the upright inserted in clean river sand (or pearlite, vermiculite), inserted 3 cm to 4 cm can be. After cuttage 1 month grows adventitious root, base grows a lot of new bud, wait to grow lobular hind, can transplant on basin!

How often do you pour water?

Tiger orchid likes warm and wet, but it is drought-tolerant. I like light, but I don't like bright light. Therefore, it is not possible to decide how often to water simply by time. Soil, light, season, and plant size all change the frequency of watering.

Therefore, according to their own tiger orchid situation, watering as appropriate.

If the soil is well drained, it can be watered once every 3-5 days; if the drainage is not good, it can be watered once every 5-7 days. In summer, when the light is strong, it can be watered slightly more frequently than in winter, but not too frequently. Because it is a drought-tolerant plant after all, watering too much will make the leaves white and the stripes will fade, which is not conducive to the growth of tiger skin orchid.

In summer, it should be placed in a semi-shady place to avoid strong light; in winter, it should be kept dry, and water in the flowerpot should be avoided, which will cause the leaves to rot. Finally, although tiger skin orchid can absorb formaldehyde, but the amount is very small, so can not rely too much on plants, the best way to disperse smell is to open the window ventilation!

Types of Tiger Orchid

What are the common varieties of tigeria, commonly cultivated varieties are:

1, Phnom Penh tiger tail orchid: shape similar to tiger tail orchid, but the leaf edge is inlaid with golden wide spot belt.

2. Short-spike Sanse-tail orchid: It is a dwarf species with a plant height of about 10-20 cm. It is a mutant species of Sanse-tail orchid with short and wide leaves and overlapping growth.

3, onion leaf tiger tail orchid: also known as column leaf tiger tail orchid. Leaves were cylindrical, the whole leaf thickness up and down almost, slightly tapered end, leaf surface has a longitudinal walk of shallow concave groove shape, each leaf independent growth.

Through the above introduction, we not only understand the common types of tigeria, but more importantly, learn how to reproduce and cultivate in winter, but no matter which method we use to plant, as long as we are careful, I believe we will plant a beautiful pot of tigeria.
