Xiao Peach Hong's experience in raising Orchid

'Little Peach Red'is a variety of Jianlan. It has green leaves and unrestrained leaves, and its leaf tips often have a little light yellow. Its flowers are yellowish green with red stripes, and its lips are scattered with red spots. Because it is coarse and easy to raise, it has become a famous product of Jianlan favored by beginners. "diligent flower" is a term in flower cultivation, which means that a certain flower blossoms frequently and diligently. In my short years of orchid cultivation experience, I think Xiao Taohong should be regarded as a diligent variety of orchids. My peach pot has been raised for six years, in addition to the first year of pot domestication, the next five years, three rounds of flowers every year, each set of arrows or seven or eight or two or three branches. From July to the end of September every year, you can enjoy its delicate flowers and pleasant fragrance. Peach red blossoms diligently, but it also needs careful maintenance. My experience is: 1. It is best to grow it in an open tile basin. The tile basin is not only permeable and breathable, but also easy to walk alkali, and the open tile basin is more conducive to the contact between the root and the air. In addition, the use of tile basin is also convenient and simple to judge the dry and wet condition of basin soil. If you gently flick the basin wall with your hand, the sound is too heavy, it is too wet; if the sound is clear, it is too dry. Be sure to wash the tile basin and expose it to the sun before use, enlarge the bottom hole to the size of the egg with tools, and buckle the self-made breathable screen. two。 The cultivation substrate is based on the principle of looseness and ventilation. The roots of orchids need to be breathable, and Xiao Peach Red is no exception. No matter what substrate is used to cultivate orchids, its air permeability should be fully considered first. I grow orchids using a mixture of cinder and sawdust. Cinder has been sterilized at high temperature in the process of combustion, and it contains a variety of minerals and trace elements, which is especially conducive to the growth of Langen. Sawdust should be picked up freshly shaved, clean and nutritious, and the combination of the two satisfies the habit of orchids liking and cleaning, being angry and disgusted with rich fertilizer. In addition, remember that when planting orchids, sprinkle a layer of coarse cinder particles not less than 5 cm thick at the bottom of the basin. Quail eggs are the most suitable size, which is more conducive to drainage and ventilation. 3. Moderate fertilization. Orchid evil thick fertilizer does not mean that there is no need for fertilization, especially for diligent flower varieties, in order to make it blossom several times, moderate fertilization is essential. What I do is to apply a thin fertilizer once a week to orchids that grow well and have the conditions for flowering. In addition to diluted milk, I do not use any self-made organic fertilizer, because in the process of growing orchids, I found that orchids are very clean. No matter how careful they are, they will always bring in some dirt, weigh the pros and cons, or use chemical fertilizer safely. Just remember that orchids that apply chemical fertilizer need to take a bath more often and wash thoroughly. What I do is to rinse with the shower head until there is a lot of running water at the bottom of the basin. 4. Moderate light. As the saying goes, "the growth of all things depends on the sun". Although orchids are shade-tolerant plants, moderate light is also a necessary condition for promoting flower bud differentiation and orchid growth. Spring is the new bud growth period, the sun is more mild, can give 8 points of light, that is, moderate shade. The light in summer and early autumn is so hot that it can only give 5 minutes of light, that is, as the saying goes, flowers are cool. And pay attention to prevent the sun from shining on the orchid after rain, which will cause fatal injury. The weather is cool in late autumn, and the light is no longer hot, but you can see more light than in summer, preferably in the morning and evening, at noon and in winter. Temperature control and watering frequency and water quantity are also very important, which should be explored and summed up according to the specific situation. Beginners can buy a book on orchid cultivation to get a taste in practice, and I won't repeat it here. After meeting the above requirements, I believe you can also have a pot of peach red, when a beautiful and handsome peach red frequently patronize your study or courtyard, you will feel sincerely like me: life, really good!
