II. Cultivation and management

Phnom Penh tiger tail orchid is strong in nature, and the fertile sandy loam can be used for planting. It can be planted indoors all the year round, and the growth will be better if the weather is warm and moved outdoors. From late autumn to early winter, it should be placed indoors when it is cold, preferably at 10. C above, and control watering. Stop watering if the room temperature is less than 5 ℃. Watering at low temperature often causes plant death. It is often impossible to see the leaves wilting and dying at that time, but when the spring is warm, the base of the leaves will rot, and the leaves will fall down one by one because of the base rot, and the whole plant will die. If it is not watered when the winter is cold and the winter is dry, even if the leaves on the ground are frozen to death, the underground buds can still grow new plants when the spring is warm. Phnom Penh tiger tail orchid leaves are strong, bright colors, full of life, suitable for indoor planting. In recent years, short-leaf varieties are more popular, while long-leaf varieties are more suitable for venue and hall layout. It is reported that it has the effect of absorbing formaldehyde and other harmful gases caused by interior decoration, so it is more popular.

After the temperature rises in spring every year, the whole plant is separated from the basin, the old culture soil is removed, the rhizome is exposed, and it is cut into several plants along its direction, so that each plant contains at least 4 mature leaves, and then planted in the pot with the new culture soil. The cutting propagation material is leaf (that is, leaf cutting), which can be carried out when the temperature is above 15 ℃. The mature leaves were transversely cut into 7 Mel 8 cm long segments, which were used as cuttings, dried slightly and inserted in the river sand. Be careful not to cut upside down when cutting; keep a certain degree of humidity, but it should not be too wet to avoid decay.

Usually scrub the foliar dust with clean water to keep the leaves clean and bright. When sprouting new plants at the root neck in spring, the basin soil should be properly watered to keep the basin soil moist; in summer high temperature season, the basin soil should always be kept moist; the amount of watering should be controlled after the end of autumn, and the basin soil should be kept relatively dry to enhance cold resistance. It does not have high requirements for fertilizer, and it applies dilute liquid fertilizer twice a month in the growing season to ensure that the leaves are green and thick.

The ornamental value of Phnom Penh Tiger Pilan is relatively high, and it has a strong ability to adapt to the environment, so it is very suitable for family planting and is used to decorate the study, living room, office and other places.
