How to grow Cymbidium chinense

First, take two flowerpots, one big and one small, and put the smaller pot in the big pot. Put dirt between the two pots. Note that if there is a hole in the bottom of the small basin, the hole needs to be blocked and cannot leak, while the large basin needs to leak. Pour water into the small basin, let the water gradually into the large basin, let the soil adhere to a certain amount of moisture. For branches and leaves, choose relatively thick and robust branches, preferably new ones that grow in the same year, which need to be five to seven centimeters long. Cut off the bifurcations of the branches, remove the leaves below and insert them into the soil. It will almost take root in a month or so.

Planting methods and matters needing attention of Cymbidium chinense

1. Soil: Magnolia lanceolata likes a warm, shady and humic environment, and the requirements for soil are suitable for cultivation in humic acid soil with good drainage. If pot cultivation is carried out, rotten leaf soil or peat, perlite and river sand can be mixed to make cultivation soil for planting.

2. Temperature: when the orchid overwinters in winter, the winter temperature should be controlled above 10 degrees Celsius.

3. Lighting: Cymbidium is fond of a damp environment, so during its growth, you should pay attention to shading. You must not expose yourself to the sun in the open air in summer. In this case, it is likely to cause sunburn in flowers.

4. Watering: the golden millet orchid loves the humid environment, so it is necessary to keep the soil and air moist through long-term watering. However, we should pay special attention to avoid stagnant water.

5. Fertilizing: it is recommended to apply liquid fertilizer every one to two weeks to ensure the nutrients needed by the plant, which is conducive to the growth and flowering of the plant.

6. Precautions: pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, especially not to form stagnant water.

Propagation method of golden chestnut orchid

1. The method of striping propagation

This method of reproduction is not easy in the cold or overheated season, preferably in the rainy season. Put two or three overgrown branches (preferably vigorous branches with a two-year growth period) together and bury them three or four centimeters deep in the soil. It can be separated from the mother pillar in two months and cultivated separately.

2. Ramet propagation

If ramets multiply, it is best to operate when the pot needs to be changed in spring. The selection of plants that are three or five years old can only be carried out when there are 15 to 20 branches. Pay attention to the ramet. Give the mother plant a bonus of two or three clumps, and each clump needs at least two or three branches with thriving roots.

After dividing it, you can plant it in a basin, put it in a cool place and water it thoroughly. Spray water once or twice a day for 15 days, wait for recovery and vitality, apply a little fertilizer, and you will be able to breed normally after 15 days.

3. Cuttage propagation

The cuttage method works very well when it germinates in spring.

What if the golden chestnut orchid leaves fall?

Every spring, a part of the golden chestnut orchid will wither naturally and new branches will sprout from the rhizosphere at the same time. At this time, care must be taken in watering. Magnolia can only grow in acidic soil, especially afraid of wet water, once the water in the basin will dry branches and leaves, therefore, the pot should be small, and should use a shallow basin. Topdressing twice in May and September, do not topdressing in other seasons, do not splash fertilizer droplets on the leaves. If the leaves fall seriously, pour the basin to see if the roots are rotten, change the loose and breathable soil containing humus, use a shallow basin and put it in the place of air circulation under the flowers and trees in the flower bed, the humid environment can meet the requirements of air humidity, less watering, and most of them can be relieved. If the leaves are not too serious, just put them in the semi-shady ventilation place after loosening the soil.

The method of planting golden chestnut orchid is as above, and friends who like it can try to plant it.
