The difference between Mo Lan and Han Lan

Many orchid friends do not know the difference between Cymbidium and Cold Orchid, especially the difference between non-flowering period. Generally speaking, it is easy to distinguish between Cymbidium and Hanlan in appearance, but it is more difficult to distinguish between Cymbidium and Hanlan once they encounter slender leaves. In particular, the natural hybrid Su Lu of Cymbidium and Hanlan is more similar in appearance.

The following is a brief introduction to the difference between the two orchids:

The main results are as follows: 1. The leaf vein of cold orchid is more transparent than that of ink orchid, the leaf vein of cold orchid is more prominent on the back of leaf, while the leaf vein of Cymbidium is opaque and light green, and the leaf vein and mesophyll tissue are relatively smooth.

2. The cold orchid leaf beetle is relatively compact, not forked, and the top and bottom and size are the same, the tip and edge of the leaf beetle are often reddish purple, while the ink orchid leaf beetle is relatively sharp and not tight, easy to fork, the fork degree is larger, and the position of clinging to the base of the leaf is not as high as that of cold orchid. The upper part of the leaf beetle is more forked than the lower part, and the leaf beetle is often bluish purple.

3. The false bulb of cold orchid is relatively slender, while that of Cymbidium is relatively round.

4. when the leaf length is the same, the number of leaves per plant is more than that of Cymbidium, and the leaves of Cymbidium are rougher than those of Cymbidium.
