One: self-preface

My hometown Chongzhou in Sichuan (the Shuzhou of Wang Bo, a poet of the Tang Dynasty) is today's Chongzhou), a small town unknown to the world, people here have loved to raise orchids since ancient times, and my father is an ordinary orchid lover. Under the influence of my father, I also like orchids very much. I remember a few months ago, when I just graduated from college and came home, in a chat with my father, when I learned that my father wanted to sum up his decades of cultivation and was limited to the level of written expression, I decided to use my summer vacation to help him write something. I also have some things and experiences that I have seen and heard in him over the years.

In my father's more than 20 years of orchid farming career, although he encountered many setbacks and many bitter things, he gained more than he lost. In these long years, he met people he respected, and made a lot of sincere orchid friends. I have also met a mercenary blue scam. There are many examples of all kinds.

As a kind of plant for people to watch, orchids are traded and circulated in the orchid boundary at an incredible price. The price of orchids is random and can only be estimated according to the history of raising orchids and the level of understanding of orchids. Although there is no definite standard, the price of orchids can be compared with similar varieties to make a reasonable price. Ye Yi and Qiye varieties can directly look at the physical transaction, as for colored flowers, strange flowers, petal flowers with high price, the result is that early ramet is not easy to blossom and new buds are thin. Some people do not wait for flowering, but only by virtue of leaves, new buds and other special forms, they are judged to be colored flowers, strange flowers, petal-shaped flowers, etc., and so on. As a result, most of the people have been deceived and there are many disputes. Therefore, this paper advocates raising orchids, appreciating orchids, buying orchids and selling orchids under the principle of "orchid is humanity".

Second: the basic knowledge of orchids

If you want to appreciate orchids and grow orchids well, you should know orchids

Orchid belongs to perennial orchid family, which has the most species and is the most ecologically evolved plant. It consists of flowers, leaves, roots and stems.

A: the basic structure of the flower: three petals, two sepals, a core column in the middle of one tongue petal, for people to appreciate.

B: the basic structure of leaves: it is composed of mesophyll tissue of upper epidermis and lower epidermis. It can perform light and respiration.

C: the basic structure of the root: the outer layer is a thick succulent layer of root bark tissue, the inner layer is a slender central column, with obvious root tip, and its function is to absorb nutrients for orchid plant growth.

D: the basic structure of the stem: it is composed of plant fiber, which has the function of storing water and nutrition, epiphytic flower bud on the stem, embryo tip of grass bud.

If you want to learn to raise orchids, you must understand the growth habits of orchids

In order to adapt to various growth environments, orchids have formed a variety of different growth habits. Orchids are divided into orchids, epiphytic orchids (epiphytic orchids), and then divided into high-temperature orchids, medium-temperature orchids and low-temperature orchids.

Orchids that grow in organic soil are called terrestrial orchids. Epiphytic orchids that grow on rocks and trees are called epiphytic orchids.

Orchids growing in high-temperature tropics with temperatures between 20 ℃ and 35 ℃ belong to high-temperature orchids, such as orchids.

Orchids growing in temperate regions with temperatures ranging from 18 ℃ to 30 ℃ belong to mid-temperate orchids, such as orchids and swords.

The orchids growing in the area with low bottom temperature and low light and the growth temperature between 5 ℃ and 15 ℃ belong to low temperature orchids, such as Magnolia and Cymbidium.

Orchids are divided into national orchids and foreign orchids. They are divided into two categories: orchids growing in the field are called native species, and orchids that are naturally crossed and artificially improved in the field are called hybrids.

The replicative species that carry out tissue reproduction by means of science and technology are called replicators.

Third: conditions for raising orchids

A site and equipment for raising orchids

The use of the courtyard Blue sheds and equipment should be done according to capacity, the principle is to strive to be sturdy, durable, practical, burglar-proof.

If there is a hospital dam at home to raise orchids, it is more advantageous than roofs and balconies. Especially at present, there are many houses, as long as they can leave a space of more than ten square meters, if they can make good use of them, orchids can still produce good results and big profits.

When designing an orchid garden in the courtyard, we should pay attention to the following points:

An Orchid Garden should try to choose the direction with good lighting, usually the north-south direction is the best.

B: enough space should be left around the Orchid Garden because ventilation is very important.

C: do not choose to install air conditioners, kitchen or range hood in Lanyuan.

Second, the following points should be paid attention to when raising orchids on roofs and balconies

In the city apartment building with every inch of land, the balcony can also raise orchids, as long as you are good at using them, you can still raise orchids. In the design of orchid garden on roof and balcony, we must pay attention to the measures such as strong structure, strong wind, strong sun, dryness, high temperature and so on.

Fourth, summarize the basic knowledge of orchid cultivation.

First, the environment should be suitable.

In a good environment, orchid management is extremely easy and can achieve the best results, on the contrary, it is not easy to manage, the effect is not good, orchids need roughly the same environment as human beings, such as cool in summer and warm in winter, if in such an environment, the ideal effect can be achieved.

Second, the temperature should be appropriate.

The growth of orchids is greatly affected by temperature. Orchids like high temperature during the day and low temperature at night. The reproductive temperature of most orchids is between 5 ℃ and 15 ℃, and the reproductive temperature of orchids is between 15 ℃ and 30 ℃, so if the location of your orchid garden can not meet the reproductive growth and growth of orchids, you should adjust the temperature moderately.

The humidity should be moderate.

Watering every day, the orchid will still dry up, this is the problem of air humidity, humidity is one of the four major elements of orchid growth, mentioned humidity some people will mistakenly refer to the problem of more or less watering in the orchid pot. in fact, it should refer to the humidity of the air in the orchid garden and the humidity of the cultivated soil in the orchid basin.

Orchids like the air with high humidity, because the roots, stems and leaves exposed outside the basin can absorb water in the air, so try to increase the air humidity in the orchid garden to more than 60%. However, air humidity is closely related to ventilation, poor ventilation, humidity will increase, good ventilation, air flow will be large, humidity will be reduced. But orchids like to grow only in an environment with good ventilation and high humidity. How to solve this contradiction? That should be dealt with by personal experience, which requires long-term practical experience in orchid cultivation.

As the old saying goes, watering for three years is not what it will be. This means how difficult it is to water the Orchid dialect. Indeed, if you don't study it carefully, you can't get started in three years, five years or ten years. It can be said that if watering is successful, cultivation will be successful, and if watering fails, cultivation will fail. In a word, the air humidity in the garden and the humidity of the culture soil in the orchid basin are related to watering.

To remind everyone, try to choose the watering time in the morning. It has been watered normally, but the orchid plant still has the phenomenon of water shortage of rolled leaves, so the air humidity must be increased and no more water must be irrigated. If the plant is watered too much, the orchid root will be soaked in the plant material with too much water, which will hinder the respiration of the orchid root, and the plant material will become acidic quickly. for a long time, it will produce soil infectious diseases such as root rot and blight, endanger the root system and accelerate the death of the orchid.

The fourth illumination should be suitable.

Orchids need plenty of light without too much light, which means orchids are suitable for growing in weak light. If excessive light is found, it will sunburn the chlorophyll on the leaf surface, yellowing the leaf color, curling and drying up. If you lose your beauty, your growth will decline. On the contrary, lack of light, slow germination, narrow leaves, small corms, thick green leaves, not easy to bloom or flowering.

Fifth, ventilation is better.

Good air flow can promote the metabolism of orchid cells and increase the production capacity of nutrients. Ventilation can also reduce the ultra-high humidity and temperature of the air and reduce diseases and insect pests. Ventilation is best to use the natural wind, such as summer can blow to the southwest wind, winter can block the northwest wind, which is related to the above-mentioned choice of the location of the Orchid Garden. If the natural environment cannot be ventilated, the air flow can only be regulated in an artificial way.

But note: the cleanliness of the flowing air is very important to avoid polluted air entering the Orchid Garden.

6. Fertilization should be moderate.

It takes 7-8 months for orchids to germinate to mature. During this long period of time, proper fertilization is needed. According to fertilizer composition, orchids can be divided into organic and inorganic fertilizers, but both organic and inorganic fertilizers must contain enough nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements. First of all, we must understand the role of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in plant growth and development.

Nitrogen (N) can promote plant branches and leaves to grow luxuriantly, the leaves are bright green, and there is too much nitrogen. Although the branches and leaves grow fast, they do not blossom, on the contrary, the old leaves are yellow and stagnant. Usually seedlings need more nitrogen.

Phosphorus (P) can promote plant root development, absorb nutrients, and promote flowering at the end of growth, on the contrary, it is not easy to blossom without phosphorus, so flowering plants must be supplied with more phosphorus.

Potassium (K) can promote the growth of roots, stems and branches, beautiful flowers and resistance to diseases and insect pests. Lack of potassium, the orchid plant is not strong, the flower color is not colorful, generally need more potassium on the seedlings.

For common varieties for the purpose of flower appreciation, attention should be paid to the supply of phosphorus and potassium and more light when culturing. For the purpose of leaf and flower art, attention should be paid to the changes of leaf and stem, nitrogen fertilizer should not be supplied too much, light should be absorbed more and humidity should be lower.

Should pay special attention, when fertilizing, must not fertilize too much at one time, too much, would rather a small number of meals.

Seven planting materials should be safe.

It is difficult to answer the question of which plant material can be used to get the best cultivation effect, according to your own actual situation. But the plant material used must be safe, easy to use, appropriate thickness, and the principle is loose, breathable, aseptic, diuresis and fertilizer conservation.

Six: talking about how to cultivate orchids in order to get rich

Put aside the art of orchids for the time being, and study them purely from the perspective of enterprises and economy. how can we make money in orchid cultivation? In every industry in the world, some people make money and some lose money, and the cause of raising orchids is no exception. The secret of growing orchids and getting rich is to follow the following principles to cultivate and manage.

1: buy promising orchids to breed. Whether you are engaged in production or the sale of goods, you must consider whether there is a broad market for goods, and so is the operation of orchids. You should first investigate in detail the future of the cultivated varieties and select the species that are welcome in the orchid world to cultivate. That is to say, before buying, you should consider whether you can sell it after breeding, and do not invest blindly on the spur of the moment.

How to choose promising orchids to breed is knowledge and a bit of luck. Before investing in orchids, we should extensively visit local orchid gardens and successful orchid friends, and sort out, analyze and judge and study the data obtained from various aspects. in this way, we can get some inspiration, but do not listen to one-sided words and the words of a few people, do the opinions provided by others have ulterior motives? In particular, careful analysis is required.

Generally speaking, orchids that have propagated in too many quantities cannot be invested; varieties that are not easy to cultivate and those with low reproduction rates cannot be invested; those that are too special to be easily understood or accepted by people with their characteristics cannot be invested; especially expensive orchids cannot be invested (this kind of investment is not only risky in the market, but also in cultivation).

2: appropriate capital investment should be made. The price of orchids is unstable, there will be periodic ups and downs, so the investment in orchids must not exceed their own economic capacity, so as to avoid the danger of bankruptcy when the orchids are depressed or unlucky, they should be prepared for three or five years without cost recovery, which will not affect the capital turnover of other businesses and the living expenses of the whole family. Assuming that the price falls after the investment, if the investment exceeds the load, knowing that there will be a good opportunity in five years' time, it will suffer a big loss if it is eager to sell because it is unable to support it.

The varieties purchased should not be thrown in one fell swoop and should not be too scattered. Orchid investors should not have absolute confidence in a certain variety and spend all their money on buying a variety. This practice will often go against one's wishes, there will be an irreparable situation, and it should not be too scattered to buy too many varieties. Make your orchid garden become a grocery store, the result is difficult to be famous.

It is best to choose three varieties that you are interested in to invest, so that your own orchid garden has its own focus and specialty, so that it can survive in the orchid world. In this way, I hope that at least one of the three varieties I have chosen will be lucky and make me famous and rich.

4: the cultivation result should be good. Since a considerable amount of money has been invested, it is necessary to pay more attention to the equipment of the Orchid Garden; first visit the Orchid Garden of a high standard, and then follow the example of the orchid friends who have achieved good results in cultivation and learn to build your own Orchid Garden with an open mind.

With an ideal orchid garden and good management, the reproductive ability of cultivated orchids is of course above the average level, but they should not be insatiably greedy. If they want to achieve better cultivation results, they should be heated and humidified beyond the limit or fertilized. It is the best policy to keep the orchids propagating smoothly. After such a proportional increase, the number is staggering after 5 years and 10 years.

5: do not sell prematurely. Orchids can reproduce constantly, and when they do not reach a certain number, they are eager to sell. The orchid garden you run will never have a chance for development. If you can persevere, wait until your orchid breeds to a certain number, sell part of the breeding every year, you can have income every year, and the scale of the orchid garden will expand year after year. Only in this way will their own Orchid Garden stand out and become the Great Orchid Garden of public attention.

My father raised orchids for many years and adhered to the above principles, so he could not be super-rich, but he would not be fruitless. Of course, in the long years of raising orchids, there have been failures. In hindsight, these failures were caused by temporary greed and forgetting the above principles. In short, engaged in the cause of orchid cultivation, should be carried out solidly, is the best policy. (to be continued.)
