Introduction to the experience of Orchid Culture in Xijin Bridge

In fact, I am still a rookie in orchid cultivation. Although I have been in contact with orchids for ten years, it is only after the improvement of hardware facilities in 2023 that orchids have improved slightly. This year, Song Mei and Xishen thought they were the most proud of themselves, so they took it to the Internet to show off in order to win a little applause, but the praise of the orchid friends was unexpected and frightened me. I really don't dare to be the first person in Chinese dill. Guolan online hiding dragons and crouching tigers, experts such as clouds, let me introduce experience, there is really a suspicion of playing tricks. But the kindness of the orchid friends is difficult to resist, I will just say a few words. If there is anything inappropriate, please criticize and correct it, and we will discuss it as throwing a brick to attract jade.

First, more buds: to have more buds of bluegrass, the premise is to raise the roots well, multi-seedling conjoined. In order to raise roots well, first of all, according to the growth habits of orchids, it is necessary to simulate the field growth environment of orchids (it is best to go to the mountains to observe their growth environment). Temperature, humidity, ventilation and light are timely adjusted in the process of orchid growth throughout the year (shade culture is mainly used at high temperature). Secondly, for beginners who raise orchids, the planting materials should be light. My plant material ratio is: fairy soil 20%, ceramsite 10%, gold stone 70%, basin surface to apply a few magic fertilizer. Other fertilizers (especially foliar fertilizer) should be used as little as possible. Secondly, each orchid friend's cultivation environment can not be the same with different watering. Remember one thing, bluegrass is happy. With regard to the watering time, Yuyao Yilan's predecessor Wang Shuping said in a book: "Orchids should be nurtured for a day after watering." It inspired me a lot. So when the temperature is above 10 ℃, I choose to water it at night. After watering, blow dry the leaves as soon as possible. After the root is cultivated, you can use as little medicine as possible, or even not. Usually use two or three times a year to prevent it. During the budding season in July and August every year, the temperature difference between day and night should be widened and the water should be controlled once or twice, but not too dry.

Second, post-bud management: bluegrass should pay attention to proper shading after budding, keep the humidity about 80%, the temperature should not be too high, and the basin soil should not be too wet. The winter temperature should be controlled below 20 ℃ as far as possible, and then after full vernalization, otherwise the flower rod will not be pulled high in the coming year.

3. Flowering: the best flowering temperature is 10 ℃-18 ℃ for Cymbidium and 16 ℃-24 ℃ for Cymbidium. Bluegrass is dried in front of the bud pull rod, wet after the start of the pull rod, and the bud is opened to choose dry or wet culture depending on the variety. In order to make the flowering direction consistent, we should first make use of the light drive of the plant as far as possible to make the bud face the same direction, and then, depending on the basin condition a few days before the bud opens, manually adjust and fix the bud orientation that is not in line with the expectations (one or two days). As for how to fix it, you can give full play to your creativity.
