How to raise tiger orchid culture methods and matters needing attention

Cymbidium is a common herb, which was previously produced in Africa and then introduced and planted in China, and now it is widely distributed. Because its tiger ear orchid has a high ornamental value, it attracts a lot of people's breeding. However, before breeding, we must understand its breeding technology is an issue that we are more concerned about.

How to raise the tiger orchid

1. The pot soil is a mixture of rotten leaf soil, coarse sand and peat. Fertilizer should be applied every ten days during the growing period of the plant, and the amount of fertilizer should not be too thick or excessive. When the basin soil is dry in summer and autumn, it should be watered in time and thoroughly. The winter tiger orchid will enter a semi-dormant state for a short time, so it should be watered less and placed indoors in the sunny place.

2. Shading should be carried out when the light is strong in summer, and the management of light and water and fertilizer should be strengthened in autumn, so as to promote the good development of inflorescence and benefit the graceful posture of the whole plant. The suitable temperature in the growing period is 18-24 ℃, and the temperature should be kept at 13-15 ℃ in winter.

Culture method of Cymbidium

1. Soil. Tiger orchid prefers slightly acidic soil. And the air permeability of the soil is better, so we can choose slightly acidic sandy soil, that is, a mixture of rotten leaf soil, peat and coarse sand. This is beneficial to the fluidity of air and the permeability of water in the soil layer, and is beneficial to the growth of Cymbidium.

2. Temperature. The growth temperature of Cymbidium is suitable for 16-21 ℃ in daytime and 10-12 ℃ at night. Because of its poor cold resistance, the winter temperature should not be lower than 5 ℃ and should be kept indoors or in a greenhouse to survive the winter.

3. Light. It is required that the tiger orchid like the semi-shady environment, especially in the dead summer, the tiger orchid should not be exposed to the sun, but it should not be in a completely dark corner, which is not conducive to the growth of the tiger orchid.

4, moisture: in the growing period of the tiger orchid, to keep the basin soil moist, to be slightly dry, to avoid rain, the basin soil can not accumulate water, otherwise it will cause the bulb to rot. Bulb rot is a disease caused by infection caused by a variety of fungi and a small number of bacteria. This can lead to the inability to pull out the tender stems or hinder the growth of the leaves, turn yellow to red or green, and eventually wither or even die.

5. Fertilization: during the growing period, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer should be applied every half a month. Promote the growth of tiger orchid and reduce diseases and insect pests.

Matters needing attention of tiger orchid

1. Tiger orchid likes sunny, warm and well-ventilated growth environment and is not resistant to severe cold. when it is cold in winter, it is most prone to frost injury, and its leaves will rot, wither and then fall, and the stem of the plant will also become dry.

2. so when it is cold, put it in a place with light on the balcony to give enough sunshine; when the weather is cold, you can wrap the plant with plastic film and take anti-freezing measures. Pay attention to ventilation, but do not let the plant face the tuyere.

Leaf spot of Cymbidium and its control methods

The main results are as follows: 1. The most common disease in the disease cycle of tiger orchid is leaf spot disease, which will seriously affect the leaves of plants, make them yellow gradually, and eventually lead to wilt. Sometimes it can lead to abnormal development of leaves or non-flowering. Reduce the normal growth of plants and the beauty of plants.

2. The cause when the tiger orchid has this condition, it shows that the plant growth environment is not suitable. It may be caused by inappropriate fertilizer and water.

3. We can fertilize the plants on time and on time, the specific time is that once every three months, the demand for light is very large, except summer, other seasons need to strengthen the light, if the sun is not enough, it can lead to thin leaves and even threaten the health of plants.

When the tiger orchid is cultivated, the good soil should be selected first, and then the light and temperature should be adjusted. After that, it is necessary to strengthen the management of water and fertilizer, too much or too little will be disadvantageous to its growth. When the tiger orchid is cultured, leaf spot is the most common, so it is also very important to prevent and cure the leaf spot.
