How to water the iron orchid (how often) the breeding method of iron orchid

Planting a plant in a cold winter will make everyone feel that it brings a kind of vitality in winter and adds a brushstroke to the monotonous color of winter, not to mention that the color of iron orchid is lilac, very fresh and elegant, and iron orchid is relatively easy to grow. There are many ways to breed. Let's introduce the specific operation of each way of reproduction.

How to water the iron orchid (how often)

Tieran prefers the environment of high temperature and humidity and is not resistant to low temperature and dryness. The growth environment should have sufficient light, and the soil requires loose, well-drained rotten leaf soil or peat soil. The temperature in winter is not lower than 10 ℃. If you see the soil dry, you can water it and keep it moist. Usually about 2-3 small amount of water will be fine.

The Propagation method of Tielan

1. Sowing and reproduction

The seeds of Cymbidium are generally obtained by artificial pollination, and the seeds should be sowed immediately. The sown soil can be mixed with peat soil, perlite and river sand. Before sowing, the soil needs to be sterilized. Then the seeds are evenly scattered on the soil and covered with plastic film, without the need to cover the soil.

The best temperature for germination is between 24 ℃ and 26 ℃, and the seedlings can emerge in one to two weeks. When the seedlings produce 3 to 4 leaves, they can be transplanted to other flowerpots.

2. Ramet propagation

The best time for ramification is from April to June. When the sucking bud grows 3 to 5 leaves and the height is 10 cm, first pull the whole plant out of the basin, clean up the soil, then break off the sucking bud, then disinfect the wound and dry it naturally, and finally insert it into the suitable soil. At this time, it is necessary to ensure the moisture of the soil and air, do not let the sun shine directly, and wait 1 to 2 months later, the new root system will grow out. It can be maintained according to the normal maintenance mode.

3. Cuttage propagation

Cutting propagation is also a common propagation method for flower friends. when the tillering buds of Tielan grow to 10 cm high and produce 3 to 5 leaves, they can be cut off directly, the wound should be disinfected and dried, and then inserted into coarse sand or perlite, as after ramet, it is necessary to ensure the right amount of moisture in the soil and air, do not let the sun shine directly, and wait 1 to 2 months later, the new root system will grow out. It can be maintained according to the normal maintenance mode. The selection of tillering buds is very important, not too big, not too small.

What if the iron orchid turns green?

Iron orchid is an ornamental plant of the genus Tieran in the pineapple family. A characteristic of the pineapple family is that the flowering plant will slowly turn green at the end of its growth, and finally wither. The simplest case is the ornamental pineapple. Friends who have raised ornamental pineapples can recall whether the flowers of the ornamental pineapple were originally red, and then slowly the bottom began to turn green and then withered.

Iron orchid is no exception. Generally, the viewing period of the flower bud of iron orchid is 4 months. with the passage of time, the bud of iron orchid begins to turn green from the bottom, which indicates that it begins to enter the withering period. if the plant is healthy, there will be a new seed plant in the perennial root, which is synchronized with the natural withering of the flowering original plant, which is a signal of reproduction. Hua you can split the plant when the new seed plant grows up to a certain size. This can extend the life of Tielan.

How to make Tieran blossom in winter

1. Don't use the fertilizer you used in the past. If you want to turn it into a fertilizer with more K and less N, some friends may think that if you want to blossom well, you need to add more P fertilizer. In fact, this is not the case with every plant. Especially in the three weeks before you want them, you don't need to use any fertilizer, but if you water them, you can do it at the previous frequency.

2. when the bud gradually changes color, it is not the cause of the lack of sunlight, but a sign that the flower will wither soon. At this time, you can choose to remove the bud directly, so that they can grow lateral buds, withered spikes can be removed directly, the temperature should be controlled between 20-25 ℃, and if there is no problem with humidity, they can blossom again after a period of time.

The iron orchid that blossoms in winter is really beautiful, but while it is beautiful, it is also prone to some minor problems, such as green leaves and insect pests, which will affect the growth of iron orchid. However, today we introduce some prevention and control methods, as long as we take precautions in advance to minimize its damage.
