After the "three passes", Hui Yongfa

Huilan, also known as Jiuzilan, Jiujie Orchid, Xialan, Xinglan. In recent years, due to the increasing number of Cymbidium exhibitions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places, people are deeply impressed by its Ye Zi male key, multi-flower coming out of the shelf, fragrance, elegant posture, the Cymbidium fever is rising day by day, and the price is rising all the way. As a result, the germination rate of the famous Cymbidium has become a hot topic among orchid friends. So, how to improve the germination rate of Cymbidium? Through four years of practice, I think we should pass the "three hurdles" well. First, to get through the hurdle of introduction, a strong seedling with a good root is the foundation. As the saying goes, "deep roots and luxuriant leaves". A good root system is very important for plant growth and development, especially for Cymbidium. Practice has proved that if the root system of Cymbidium is not good, even the germination rate of large seedlings is not high, even if the buds are easy to break. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring that the varieties are true, the famous cymbidium must choose big grass with good roots and strong seedlings. Although the price is high, it is easy to take pots, properly maintained, more buds and strong seedlings, and the rate of return is high. Second, through the cultivation of plant materials, pay attention to the adjustment of "even" is very important. Cymbidium has many leaves and flowers, small Reed head and limited storage nutrients. A large number of nutrients needed for nutritional and reproductive growth are mainly provided by soil nutrients absorbed by developed roots. This determines that the plant materials for the cultivation of Cymbidium must have complete nutrients, and efforts should be made to not only breathe and drain water, but also keep fat and moisture, that is, pay attention to the word "uniform". Therefore, in the selection of plant materials, it is better to use mixed plant materials according to local conditions, which can complement each other's advantages and have a good effect. In the practice of raising Christine, I have explored the three-in-one plant material of grub feces, sifted granulated orchid mud (shaped like millet grains), wind fossils (river sand, screened coal ball ash), so that it can be breathable, moisturized, drained and nutritionally complete. With this self-made plant material, with a suitable size of high pot suitable for deep planting, the top of the Reed head is covered with 2-3 cm of plant material, and the bottom of the basin is covered with a perforated beverage bottle as a hydrophobic cover, which is filled with bricks, accounting for 1/3 of the height of the basin, so that the bottom of the basin is both breathable and moisturizing, and has achieved very good results. The germination rate of the famous old species Cymbidium is more than 90%, and it is encouraging to grow into strong grass that year without fertilization. Third, get through the good environment and strive to create a small environment suitable for the growth of Cymbidium. Most of the cymbidium in nature grows on sunny hillsides with high altitude, moderate temperature, good ventilation and plenty of sunshine. After artificial cultivation, the big world becomes smaller, so we need to make efforts to create a small environment suitable for its growth. In view of the sunny characteristics of Cymbidium, whether it is planting in the courtyard or balcony cultivation, it is best to put it on a ventilated Xiangyang orchid rack, so that it can receive enough light and provide sufficient power source of photosynthesis as far as possible in spring, autumn and winter. to create more nutrients for Cymbidium growth. In order to improve the air humidity, the balcony should also take a variety of measures such as flume humidification, basin spray, humidifier humidification and other measures to make the air relative humidity not less than 40%. Only in a suitable environment can Cymbidium grow stronger and grow stronger and grow fragrant with each passing year. The germination rate of Cymbidium can not be forced, and cymbidium with poor roots and weak seedlings must not be forced to sprout blindly, otherwise, it will be like drinking doves to quench thirst. Although there are differences in germination rates of different varieties of Cymbidium, generally speaking, as long as we find out its habits, "prescribe the right medicine to the case" and strengthen management, the gratifying situation of Huiyongfa after the "three passes" will be realistic.
