To cultivate Cymbidium, the most important thing is to select seeds and raise seedlings, so how to choose the seeds of Cymbidium? What are the methods of raising seedlings? Next, let's have a look with the editor.

First, how to select the seeds of Cymbidium?

Nine months after pollination, the fruit changes from green to yellow, from yellow to red, and the fruit begins to ripen. After the fruit is ripe, the whole fruit arrow should be cut off from the middle of the arrow stem and placed in a place of ventilation. After a ripening process of about 20 days, peel off the seeds, select those with full seeds, bud eyes, ready to sow, withered, no bud eyes, can be eliminated.

A fruit has at least one seed, up to 20 to 30 at most. Magnolia seeds contain more water and are not suitable for long-term preservation. Within a week after peeling, the seeds must be sown. If the time is too long, the seeds will dry up and the bud eyes will shrink, affecting the emergence rate. If the seeds want to be preserved for a long time, it is best to put the arrow late, or peel it out late after the arrow.

Second, what are the breeding methods of Cymbidium?

1. Seedling raising time

The seedling time of Cymbidium is generally in November to February of the following year, the key to raising seedlings is the temperature control, the temperature of raising seedlings is generally between 20-30 ℃, there must be a certain temperature difference, so as to ensure fast germination, sprouting neatly, before raising seedlings, it is necessary to prepare seedling utensils such as tile shallow basins, wooden boxes, small hole plastic baskets, etc., these instruments must have drainage holes or gaps, and the size of the equipment should be moved conveniently, with a depth of about 8-10cm.

2. Seedling raising method

(1) River sand seedling raising method

Sift the river sand into millet grains, rinse it with clean water, then boil or scald the river sand with boiling water for 3-5 minutes to eliminate harmful bacteria, then put the treated river sand into a container, scrape flat with a board, and arrange the bud eyes of the seeds neatly downward, depending on the number of seeds, the seeds can be denser, the seeds can be thinner, and the seeds can be covered with a layer of sand just over the seeds. 1cm from the top of the appliance, then pour water thoroughly, and then pour floating water once a day. After about 30 days, the coleoptile can grow.

(2) sawdust seedling raising method

Sawdust seedling is to select white pine, forged wood, or hardwood sawdust to wash clean, put in the utensil, flatten, put spacing, cover, watering and river sand seedling method is the same, the difference is sawdust seedling method, about a week earlier than river sand seedling method, pine needle seedling method, choose larch needle, soak it to make it water and clean, put in the appliance, press flat, put the seed bud eye down into it. Different from the above two seedling raising methods, the covering layer above the seed should be thicker, generally covering 1cm or so. Pine needle seedling raising method has a high emergence rate and is not easy to go bad. Pine needle seedling raising should keep the pine needle not dry or wet.

The above is the introduction of the orchid, when planting the orchid, choose the obvious protuberance in the seed hole, the more severe the bulge, the easier it will be to grow the bud. In fact, the gentleman orchid is easier to feed, as long as it is given sufficient growth environment, it can grow very well.
