Orchid cultivation: the Secret of planting Orchid (turn)

Orchid cultivation: the Secret of planting Orchid (turn)

In mid-May, several orchid friends visited my "Xiaolan Garden" and praised the growth of orchids and some new practices. What's your cultivation secret? To make orchids grow so well. No. I'm just more careful than you in the following aspects.

First, study hard. First of all, we have strengthened the study of theory and read more books about orchid cultivation, especially for the two journals run by the Chinese Orchid Association and the Chinese Orchid Society, which are rich and applicable. Since 1999, it has been ordered every year, read every issue, and collated and applied some good experiences and methods. In addition, be good at communicating and learning with Lanyou, absorbing their successful experience, even if it is bit by bit. Naturally, one's own cultivation theory has been consolidated over time.

Second, be good at summing up. In the process of learning and communication, be good at comparing and summarizing, and find out the simplest method suitable for your own conditions. For example, many orchid books have introduced the methods of controlling shell insects, but in the fifth issue of "Chinese Orchid" in 2000, I read the article "simple prescription for Prevention and Control of Orchid scale insects" written by Mr. Luo Kangning in Guangdong Province. I think that the third party sprays leaves with vinegar and water, once every 5 days, three times as a course of treatment, this method is also simple and desirable, which not only reduces drug damage, but also satisfies the acidity of orchids, and the practice has proved that the effect is also good. I continued to use it. You see, none of my flowers have ever given birth to shell worms, which is not a bad method.

Third, attach importance to practice. On the basis of learning and summary, we should constantly explore, enhance our strengths and circumvent our weaknesses, and take measures to suit measures to local conditions and practice boldly in the light of our own actual situation. For example, when I saw the practice of "simple" greenhouse "good effect" by Mr. Li Lin of Yunnan Province in the third issue of "Orchid" in 2001, I boldly practiced it, that is, the several pots of orchids you saw in the garden covered with plastic film. This method is simple and easy, effective quickly, and the flowers are not yet scorched.

Fourth, dare to innovate. On the basis of successful practice, keep making progress and make some new attempts. For example, inspired by articles such as Yunnan Chen Shuqing's "High-rise balcony can also raise Orchid" and Mr. Li's "simple" greenhouse "good effect", combined with his own conditions, the present simple "greenhouse" Xiaolan Garden has been established. In the garden, regardless of the size of the pot, the number of flowers and seedlings is very vibrant, needless to say about blooming and sprouting.

This is my "secret", in fact, you have done a lot, but did not sum up.

The above is when communicating with Lanyou, talking about their own practices, it is not a trick, if you can give orchid friends some inspiration that is better, but also hope that the majority of orchid friends to give criticism and correction.
