Learning before introduction of orchids

Author: Chi Rui Lan Yuan

Recently, several new orchid friends told me that many of the grass they bought were rotten, and there was no way to start with the introduction. I would like to talk about my feelings and learn together.

When it comes to introduction, we have to talk about several issues:

First, know the grass. Any type of color butterfly strange, its grass must have its own characteristics, from the grass type, leaf beetle, leaf tip and so on to judge whether there are fine flowers, look for some information to have a good look, although not absolute, but most of them are more useful. New orchid friends are not encouraged to gamble on grass, mainly to see flowers. If you don't understand, you can ask the like-minded orchid friends around you for advice. I saw several online sellers say that this is so-and-so plum, so-and-so lotus, so-and-so butterfly, so-and-so odd, but as soon as the grass looks impossible to blossom those good flowers, there are still many people participating in the auction, isn't it blinded day by day?

Second, the environment for planting and breeding should be improved. The environment of orchid cultivation is very important. If you want to raise orchid grass well, you can't do it without a good environment. Reference materials, visit other orchid friends there, learn more and communicate more. In view of their own environment, mainly focus on ventilation and humidity two problems, these two problems are solved, the fundamental problem of orchid cultivation is basically solved. As for orientation, although Lan likes Yin, it is better to astigmatism toward Yang. At present, according to the orchid environment that I have come into contact with, few of those who raise orchids are very good (I can barely). Therefore, do not have the conditions, do not panic to introduce.

Third, make more efforts in planting and breeding. Planting materials, watering, fertilization, pesticide application and so on must be mastered. Of course, the techniques of planting and breeding can be exercised in the process of planting. As a saying goes, if there is no diamond, it is best not to admire precious varieties. As a result, you fail in planting and breeding, and die in the end, so the loss outweighs the gain. It is suggested that the new orchid friends start with Jianlan, followed by lotus petal, and then spring sword. Once the technology is mature, you can make some good varieties to play with.

Fourth, figure out the categories. It should have been put in the knowledge of grass, but this problem is a little complicated, so let's talk about it separately. 1. To make a clear distinction between the categories; 2. To distinguish the specific varieties; 3. To distinguish the grass according to the middle areas between the north and the south. 4. To buy grass online and sell the old species back to the old species, it will be helpful for you to face up to it. By the way, I know a friend who has been selling grass for 2 years. Others give him a gift of spring, but he doesn't know him. Do you think his grass can sell well?

Fifth, state of mind. It is very important to have a normal mind to raise orchids. After early stir-frying and baptism, bluegrass is now heading towards the road of value return, and the price may still fall, but it has stabilized. Tens of thousands of people have moved in the past, and some can now be bought in the hundreds, so it is suggested that New Orchid Friends have the above conditions. you can act according to your ability and choose some good seedlings you like to raise, so that you can see flowers quickly and your interest will be higher.
