Culture of old seedlings of Cymbidium

0. The choice of pots is as small as possible, and the size is just right to put down the roots of the old grass.

1. The slicing and selection of old seedlings: preferably the third generation of grass, which can be covered by a single seedling. The second is the grass of the fourth generation, if the root is good and the seedling is strong, you can also cover it with a single seedling. 5. For 6 generations, it is recommended that 2 seedlings should be conjoined, not single seedlings.

two。 The timing of slicing old seedlings: some suggest slicing in spring, and some suggest slicing in autumn. Personally, I prefer autumn, late September. After a healthy three-generation old seedling is cut off, it will sprout within 45-60 days. And after the beginning of spring next year, the buds will grow very fast. If you plant it well, you will have an autumn bud. Note that this is the case of three generations of Lao Miao.

3. According to the personal experience of the seedling emergence rate of the old seedlings, the third generation seedlings, one upper-middle bud, the fourth generation seedlings, generally two weak buds, 5.6 conjoined buds, the buds will be weaker, generally have 2-3 buds. Therefore, only from the perspective of seedling emergence rate, the older the grass is, the more it will sprout. But. Why there are buts, please look at point 4, the strength of new buds.

4. The buds of the strong and weak seedlings of the third generation of new buds are generally not weak and are well planted. They can be rejuvenated in 3 years and see flowers. This is not the case with the fourth generation of seedlings, although they generally send Ssangyong, but the buds are small, grow slowly, and have a long way to go. Not to mention the 5.6 generation.

5. The maintenance of old seedlings after planting, must be less watering, the reason is that the basic metabolism of old grass is slow, to what extent? Basically the same environment, strong grass watered 2-3 times, old grass watered once. But my environment is dry, without watering for a long time, the basin noodles will be very dry, too dry basin noodles will affect the germination of old grass. Therefore, it is recommended to spread a layer of moisturizing soft plant material on the basin (a fragrance, the promised land is good). And, personal advice, bask in the sun. Usually this time is around the National Day, this time to bask in the sun. Is very necessary.

6. Maintenance of new buds to new seedlings after May next year, these new buds will generally be unearthed. Before the middle of May, again, bask in the sun. It should be shaded properly after the middle of May. In this way, when the new buds grow to September, the grass that grows well can grow into 7 and 8 points. At this time, the grass must be fertilized (I mean, must). It's so good for rejuvenation.
