Four seasons Cuiyu lotus (standing leaf lotus) Jianlan

Flower name: four Seasons Cuiyu lotus (standing leaf lotus) content: in 2002, the flowers went down the mountain from Fujian, and the flowers collected roots / put corners / thick / beautiful, and the tongue did not hang downhill. Cuiyuhe was excavated in Yongfu Town, Zhangping City, Fujian Province in 2002. The orchids of the town have a long history, and the famous Yongfusu, Daye iron (Fuzhou lotus), Daye Longyan, etc., are all excavated in the local Lannong. In the winter of that year, I accidentally saw a picture in Mr. Lu Yihe's house. The flowers had been in full bloom for more than ten days, but the flowers were a little old, but the color was very green. What attracted special attention was that there were as many as 13 flowers, and what was even more amazing was that they were about to wither as big as their tongue. Mr. Lu was introduced to visit this orchid at the Yilan farmhouse of his fellow townsman. It is reported that in the 1990s, his eldest son went to Wuyi Mountain in western Fujian to buy a truck of downhill orchid hair with a group of leaves standing upright, so he thought it was lotus pigment-big leaf iron, so he picked out the seed, and then encountered a serious frost, leaving several abortive seedlings, which had been planted until they bloomed and stood up. So I sincerely asked for the consent of the old farmer and transferred, then bought dozens of heads (seedlings) back to Shantou. However, because the orchid is a land border and cultivated with all-saprophytic soil, the root is very fat and elongated in parallel (not the straight root of the current planting basin). In the process of digging, the connection between the root and the Reed head was broken, and after returning to Shantou, it was planted with hard material in a small plastic basin and burning soil, resulting in heavy losses and nearly half of the deaths and injuries. it was not until the second year that strong seedlings were avoided and weak seedlings grew. It is also caused by this.

Jade lotus leaves are tall, salty and fierce, although the wild can be tamed, but the leaves are still very distinctive, with 30-35cm long leaves, pedicure pedicures, dark green leaves, quick tail of leaf snakes, large and round Reed heads, stout roots, and easy to identify (at present, there is a variety of four seasons because the leaves are similar to Cuiyu lotus, so people with good intentions pretend to use it as Cuiyu lotus, please pay more attention to identification, in case you are deceived.)

Cuiyuhe is a multi-flowering species, and I suspect it is related to Cymbidium in western Fujian, because Cymbidium blossoms in mid-spring, and the early flowers of the Orchidaceae in the four seasons also come to flower, from its color, multi-flowering (usually there are more than 8 MUE and 9 flowers), which is the same as that of Cymbidium. The flower scent is also close, so it is a little skeptical and needs to be studied by experts.

In addition to the emerald jade lotus, its petals are also very thick and round, so the flower guard is very good, from flowering to withering, the Ruyi tongue is on the wing and does not hang down. it is one of the few new varieties of orchid in the four seasons. Moreover, the outer three valves ratio at 2:1, embrace, hold the flap slightly open, cover Ruyi tongue, forming a near-round middle palace, just right. The size of the flower is similar to that of the king of the lotus, which is of medium-to-upper size and is extremely fragrant.

The rate of long buds of Cuiyu lotus is about 100%, and it can sprout three times in two years, but it takes more than a month from small buds to evergreen leaves, grows quickly after leafing, and is very slow when it knot (because of its large Reed head, it can store energy slowly), generally strong Reed head, if it is well planted, it can sprout for 5-6 years.

As the Cuiyu lotus root is thick, usually management requires more nourishment than other orchids, so that it will be stronger, bloom bigger and brighter, conditionally put some rotten cake fertilizer on top and slowly supply it, and add some chemical fertilizer to help it thrive.
