What is the breeding method of Wandailan? What is the difference between Wandailan and Qiandailan?

Wandailan is widely distributed in Southeast Asia, Australia and some tropical island countries. The flower is beautiful and elegant, not only as a potted plant, but also as a favorite of flower arrangement gardeners. So, what are the breeding methods of Wandailan? What is the difference between Wandailan and Qiandailan? Let's get to know it together.

1. The growth habits of Wandai orchid

Wandailan is afraid of cold and heat, waterlogging and drought. Even the high temperature of 35 degrees in summer has little effect on its growth, and many flower farms in Thailand are very extensive in planting Wandailan. They are often nailed into small square frames with wooden strips, in which a few pieces of charcoal, broken bricks or coconut clothes are put in, and some even use only a nylon rope to tie up its plants. Hanging in the orchid shed or under the tree, often sprinkling it with water and fertilizer can also grow leaves and blossom, so it doesn't take much thought to breed Wandai orchid.

2. Culture methods of Wandai orchid

1. Selection of basin soil

Wandailan's root is aerial root, as long as it is a well-drained medium, such as snake sawdust, broken bricks, charcoal, coarse gravel sand, etc., whether used alone or mixed is a very good basin soil.

2. Light temperature

Wandailan usually needs strong light, 40-50% shading net is needed in the local high temperature season, and there is no need for shading in winter. Wandailan likes the high temperature environment, and the most suitable temperature is 20-30 degrees, even if the summer temperature is higher than 30 degrees.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Wandailan must ensure adequate moisture and air humidity in daily management, maintain exuberant growth under natural conditions in the rainy season, and keep air humidity around 80% in dry season. Wandailan needs more fertilizer than other orchids, so during the period of vigorous growth, diluted fertilizer can be applied every 7-10 days, and the best fertilizer is the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium at 10:10:5.

4. Change the basin

Wandai orchid should not change the basin frequently, unless it is disturbed by diseases and insect pests, it can only be changed once every 3 years. If the basin is to be changed, the spring orchid is about to enter a vigorous growth period, which is a good time to change the basin.

III. The difference between Wandai Orchid and Qiandai Orchid

Wandailan is a typical epiphytic orchid, its calyx is well developed, and its two lateral calyx are larger, which is the most conspicuous part of the whole flower, but its petals are smaller, its lips are smaller, and its flower patterns are very diverse, some of which are reversed and twisted, some are round and flat, and its florescence is very long, and a flower can even bloom for several weeks in a row. On the other hand, the plant of Qiandai orchid is relatively short, its size is only about half of that of Wandai orchid, and its flowers are colorful. There are flowering varieties all over the year, but most of them are concentrated in spring or summer and autumn, and the changes of flower color are also very rich and varied.
