How to raise wine bottle orchid culture methods and matters needing attention

Wine bottle orchid, it is estimated that many people have not heard of it, but have seen it. The stem of the wine bottle orchid is slender, but the root is relatively thick, just like a wine bottle, the shape is unique. And its leaves are thin and long, like willow leaves as natural and soft drooping, looks very elegant and beautiful, deeply loved by everyone. So do you know the culture technology of wine bottle orchid? Next, let's learn about it with the editor.

How to raise wine bottle orchid

1. Soil: Jiupinglan prefers loose sandy soil and humus soil, which is resistant to drought and barren. Potted soil to choose good drainage, you can use 3 parts of fertile garden soil and 1 part of cinder mixed, and then add a small amount of bean cake or chicken manure as base fertilizer.

2. Sunshine: the wine bottle Lanxi has plenty of sunshine, but it also has a certain ability to withstand shade. If the light is not enough, the leaf growth is weak, and the plant growth is not strong. It should be placed in a place with sufficient light in spring and autumn, and should be properly shaded in summer, otherwise the leaf tip will be scorched and the leaf color will turn yellow. In order to prevent the growth deviation of the plant, the pot was rotated 180 °every 4-6 weeks.

3. Humidity: the wine bottle orchid prefers a humid climate, and the relative temperature of the growing air is 70-80%. If the humidity is too low, the lower leaves will yellowing and fall off, while the upper leaves will not be glossy.

4. Moisture: because the stem can store water for use when water is scarce, it is especially resistant to drought and can grow normally without watering for half a year. Watering to basin soil moist for the degree, grasp the principle of dry rather than wet, avoid stagnant water in the basin, otherwise fleshy roots and stems are easy to rot. When the temperature drops after the end of autumn, the amount of water should be reduced to improve the cold resistance of the tree.

5. Fertilizer: spring, summer and autumn are the peak growth season of wine bottle orchid. Liquid fertilizer or compound fertilizer is applied every 2-3 weeks to promote base expansion. When applying fertilizer, we should pay attention to increase the amount of phosphorus and potassium, and the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 5:10:5. Stop fertilizing in winter.

6. Insect pests: wine bottle orchids sometimes suffer from leaf spot disease. Bordeaux solution can be sprayed once every half a month (1). Bug bugs, whitefly and scale insects can be sprayed with 1500 times of omethoate emulsion.

7. Pruning: cut off the branches of the wine bottle in winter, such as thin, sick, dead, too dense, etc.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of wine bottle orchid

1. When wine bottle orchid is cultivated, its light should be controlled, and when cutting propagation, it is inseparable from light, because cuttings should continue to carry out photosynthesis to produce nutrients and rooting materials to supply its rooting needs.

2. When the wine bottle orchid is cultured in summer, it is necessary to strengthen the convection of the air so that the temperature in the body can be released. Raise it in half-shade, or give it 50% shade. Spray 2-3 times a day to cool down and add air humidity.

3. When breeding in winter, it is necessary to put it in a place with bright indoor light. If it is outdoor farming, wrap it in a film to survive the winter, but uncover the film every two days when the temperature is high at noon to let it breathe.

4. When applying fertilizer, we must pay attention to increasing the fertilizer of phosphorus and potash, and the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 5:10:5. Stop fertilizing in winter.

5. During the dormant period in winter, the application of fertilizer and water should be well controlled. General fertilizer and water management should be cycled in the order of fertilizer, water, water, fertilizer, water and water every 3-7 days. It can be fertilized vaguely after winter and before spring, but it is not watered.

What if the bottle orchid is too high?

First of all, we need to find a tool sharp enough to do this. The next step is to choose the location of the knife. Many friends who have just raised this plant do not know where to start, but it is actually very simple. In general, after the plant has grown for a period of time, we will find that the root is getting harder and harder, the hardness of the stem from the root to the top is decreasing, and the softer it is at the top. If we cut the part relatively high, that part is too tender, very easy to lose moisture, but also easy to be eroded by bacteria to the wound surface, so that the cut plant is not easy to root, and the wound is easy to soften before healing. So we have to choose the hard position that is not too far from the rhizome. Generally, we can choose the place where the plant 1ax 3 is cut, and if the plant is too high, we can go further down. Find a good position, you can put the knife, pay attention to the cut out of the plane as flat as possible.

What about the rotten roots of wine bottle orchids?

1. The common reason for root problems is that there is too much water and the basin soil is too wet. This plant itself is a very drought-tolerant plant, so too much water is completely harmful to it, long-term high moisture conditions erode the roots of the plant, the rhizome is very easy to rot. Therefore, watering should be controlled at ordinary times, and be careful not to let the soil in the basin accumulate water. Do not let it get caught in the rain on a rainy day, but also to prevent stagnant water. if it is watered by Rain Water and there is no timely dehumidification, the roots of the plant will certainly begin to blacken and rot after a period of time.

2. If there is a problem with the root, it is possible that the plant is sick. There is a kind of bacteria that will erode its rhizome, causing the root to blacken and rot, so we can find it in time and treat it as soon as possible. In the early stage of the disease, we diluted agricultural streptomycin according to 1RU 1000 and sprayed it on the place where the plant became sick, or we could pour 65% dimethazone diluted by 1RU 800, which had a good effect.

As mentioned above, the wine bottle is evergreen all the year round, which can be used to decorate the room or balcony, and it can also purify the air, absorb formaldehyde and other benefits. If you are friends who cultivate flowers and plants, you might as well cultivate wine bottle orchids.
