"except formaldehyde plant" what are the breeding methods and matters needing attention of tiger skin orchid? How often is it watered? Attached: tips for growth and height

Tiger skin orchid, also known as tiger tail orchid, thousand-year-old orchid, is a perennial evergreen herb of Asparagus. In addition to providing viewing, the biggest feature of Tiger Pilan is that it can purify the air. What are the breeding methods and precautions for Tiger Pilan? How often is it watered? What are the secrets of growing taller?

First, Tiger Pilan

The lower part of tiger skin brandy has a rhizome. Leaves clustered, fleshy linear-lanceolate, hard leathery, erect, base slightly furrowed; dark green, with horizontal stripes of light green and dark green on both sides, slightly powdered. Raceme of white to light green flowers with a sweet and elegant fragrance; flowering in spring and summer.

The common cultivated varieties are:

1. Phnom Penh tiger skin orchid: the shape is similar to tiger skin orchid, but the leaf edge is inlaid with golden broad spot band.

2. Short-spiked tiger skin orchid: it is a dwarf species with a plant height of about 10 to 20 centimeters. It is a mutant of Phnom Penh tiger skin orchid. Its leaves are short and wide, and it grows with gyration overlap.

3. Scallion leaf tiger skin orchid: also known as pillar leaf tiger skin orchid. The leaf is cylindrical, the whole leaf is about the same thickness up and down, the end is slightly pointed and thin, the leaf surface has a longitudinal shallow groove, and each leaf grows independently.

Tiger skin orchid is native to ten arid areas of Africa and southern Asia, and is cultivated all over China. It has strong adaptability, warm and humid sex, drought tolerance, light tolerance and shade tolerance. The requirement of soil is not strict, and the sandy loam with better drainage is better. The suitable temperature for its growth is 20 to 30 degrees, and the overwintering temperature is 10 degrees.

Tiger skin orchid can be propagated by ramet and cutting. The ramet is carried out every spring, that is, the whole plant is removed from the basin, the old culture soil is removed, the rhizome is exposed, and it is divided 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 degrees. The mature leaves are cut into 7-8 cm long segments, which are 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. Adventitious buds and roots can grow from the incision in about a month, and new plants can grow. The seedlings of Phnom Penh and variegated leaf varieties are green seedlings, and Phnom Penh and spotted mausoleum disappear, which reduces the ornamental value, so these varieties should not be propagated by leaf cutting, but can only be propagated by ramets.

In pot cultivation, rotten leaf soil and garden soil can be mixed in the same amount and a small amount of mature base fertilizer can be used as substrate. It grows well under the condition of sufficient light, except in midsummer to avoid the direct sun, other seasons should accept more sunlight; if placed in the indoor light is too dark for a long time, the leaves will be dark, lack of vitality. In addition, if it is placed indoors for a long time, it is not suitable to suddenly move directly to the sun. It is better to move to the light first, so that it can have an adaptation process to see the sun again, so that the leaves will not be burned. Watering should be appropriate and master the principle that it would rather be dry than wet. 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 thin liquid fertilizer is applied once or twice a month in the growing season to ensure that the leaves are green and thick.

Second, the culture methods and matters needing attention of tiger skin orchid.

I. the culture method of tiger skin orchid

1. Selection of flowerpots for tiger skin orchid culture

(1) flowerpot requirements: muddy flowerpots, plastic pots, porcelain pots and pottery pots can be used for cultivation.

(2) flowerpot size: Tiger skin orchids can be planted in pots with a diameter of 16 to 30 cm. The root system of tiger skin orchid is not deep, but the selection of high-footed flowerpot is beneficial to the beauty of plant shape.

2. Preparation of basin soil for tiger skin orchid culture.

Tiger Pilan likes loose, medium-fertile, well-drained sandy soil, but the soil requirements are not strict, good drainage can be. Families can use the following formula: the ratio of garden soil to rotten leaf soil to sand is 5: 2: 3, and the ratio of peat soil to rotten leaf soil to sand to perlite is 4: 2: 2: 2.

3. Watering method of tiger skin orchid culture.

Tiger Pilan prefers moist soil and is more resistant to drought. Spring is the growing season of new leaves, and there will be new buds in the root neck, which requires a little higher moisture and can keep the basin soil moist. After the leaves grow, it is better for the basin soil to be moist, that is, the topsoil is dry and watered. When the temperature is low in winter, keep the basin soil dry and not dry, and watering in winter should stick to the basin and irrigate along the basin, so as not to cause rot in the human leaf cluster.

If the soil is well drained, it can be irrigated once every 3-5 days; if the drainage is not good, it can be watered once every 5-7 days. When the light is strong in summer, it can be watered a little more frequently than in winter, but not too frequently. Because it is a drought-tolerant plant after all, if it is watered more, it will make the leaves white and the stripes will fade, which is not conducive to the growth of Tiger Pilan.

4. Fertilization method of tiger skin orchid culture.

Tiger Pilan does not have high requirements for fertilizer. When the new leaves sprouted in spring, 10 times of rotten liquid fertilizer or 1000 times of flower more general fertilizer was applied once or twice.

New leaf growth season topdressing 2 to 3 times mature 20 times liquid fertilizer, or a thousand times flower more general fertilizer, once every 10 to 15 days. When applying rotten liquid fertilizer to Hu Pilan, use a thin nozzle spray pot to slowly irrigate along the mouth of the basin, do not pour the fertilizer into the leaf cluster, otherwise it will cause the leaf base to rot.

5. the four seasons management method of tiger skin orchid culture.

(1) Spring management

Change the basin when the temperature is stable above 15 degrees in spring. Tiger Pilan usually changes pots every 2 to 3 years.

Tiger skin orchid has strong nature and strong adaptability, which is resistant to both sun exposure and semi-shade, so it is easy to cultivate and manage. Spring is the season for the growth of new leaves. Potted plants should be cultivated on the windowsill with light to keep the potted soil moist and fertilized. Sufficient light can not only provide sufficient photosynthetic nutrients for its growth, but also make the new leaves stout, and the patterns on the leaves are significant and bright. After the new leaves of Tiger Pilan grow, they can be moved to a brightly lit place to watch.

(2) Summer management

Tiger Pilan likes high temperature and can withstand strong light. However, the summer light is strong, and the leaf color of tiger skin orchid is easy to aging, which is not conducive to ornamental. In summer, the tiger skin orchid cloth should be placed on the balcony in the semi-shade or in the bright place of indoor light, and the basin soil should be watered and fertilized properly after seeing the dry soil. When the temperature is hot, it should be sprayed around it every day to increase air humidity and pay attention to strengthening indoor ventilation.

(3) Autumn management

The light of tiger skin orchid should be gradually increased after the autumn temperature is cool, such as suddenly moving the tiger skin orchid arranged indoors for a long time to outdoor strong light, the leaves are easy to be burned by the sun.

In autumn, tiger skin orchid should be moved outside to receive appropriate low temperature exercise, appropriate cold resistance exercise can increase its cold resistance, after exercise, tiger skin orchid can withstand a low temperature of about 5 degrees. Tiger Pilan should be moved indoors before frosting.

If the indoor temperature can be maintained above 10 degrees in winter, it is not necessary to move outside for cold-resistant exercise. However, it should also be gradually moved to the windowsill with light for cultivation.

(4) Winter management

Tiger skin orchid is not resistant to cold and can survive the winter safely when the room temperature is above 5 degrees in winter. In winter, tiger orchid should be placed on the windowsill with light to cultivate, so that the basin soil is partial, such as the basin soil is wet at low temperature, which is easy to cause rhizome rot.

If the indoor temperature can be maintained above 10 degrees, tiger skin orchid still grows slowly, should be wet between dry watering, do not apply fertilizer.

II. Points for attention

The main results are as follows: (1) Hu Pilan is not strict with the soil, and the basin soil can be made of rotten leaf soil and 1/3 river sand. It is usually maintained in a well-ventilated sunny place. Watering should be dry and wet, especially in the seedling stage, not too much watering, otherwise it is easy to cause rhizome rot, or even death.

(2) in summer, you need to move to the north balcony or where there is bright scattered light indoors, and spray water on the leaves once or twice a day to keep the air moist and make the leaves green. The rarefied liquid fertilizer with the combination of nitrogen and phosphorus was applied every 2 to 3 weeks in the peak growing season. If only nitrogen fertilizer is applied for a long time, the markings on the leaves will become dim.

(3) keep the room sunny enough in winter, control watering, but still spray warm water on the leaves every 5 to 7 days to keep the leaves clean and prevent dust. The indoor temperature is not lower than 12 degrees. The pots are changed every 1 to 2 years in combination with ramet in spring. As the tiger skin orchid leaves grow upright, it is appropriate to choose a tube basin to show that the plant is compact and beautiful.

(4) the leaf shape of tiger skin orchid is straight, much like a sword. The leaf surface is striped like a tiger's tail, very charming, the leaf is thick and hard, the leaf tip is pointed and thin, and the plant is erect, like a green samurai. Installed in the study, the corner of the hall or the center of the {Sui round conference table with large and medium-sized conference rooms, the four seasons are green, quaint and vigorous, which is a symbol of strength and courage, giving people a feeling of excitement and excitement.

Third, the breeding methods of tiger skin orchid culture.

(1) ramet propagation

In combination with changing pots in spring, the orchids were planted separately in a clump of 3 to 5 leaves.

(2) Leaf cutting propagation

It can be carried out in late spring and summer. Phnom Penh tiger skin orchid cuttings of Phnom Penh easy to disappear, it is best to use the method of propagation.

Analysis on the reason why tiger skin orchid is not tall

First of all, look at the varieties. Some varieties themselves do not grow very tall. for example, some dwarf varieties are only 20 centimeters tall. if it is not a variety problem, it is necessary to find the reasons from their daily maintenance, mainly as follows:

First, the temperature is too low or too high, if you put it below 10 degrees or above 30 degrees for a long time, you will not be able to grow well, and naturally you will not grow high.

Second, root rot, which is mainly caused by improper watering. If there is too much water, root rot will naturally affect growth.

Third, the light is unreasonable, some people grow flowers never let it see the sun, this is not conducive to the growth of tiger Pilan, naturally does not grow tall.

Fourth, the shortage of fertilizer, which is a common problem, even if there is not enough fertilizer, fertilizer is mainly nitrogen.

In a word, as long as there is suitable light, moderate watering, reasonable fertilization and suitable temperature, the breeding of tiger skin orchid can be very good.
