How do you breed Cartland at home?

Cartland is "after the orchid", extremely beautiful, flowers can be as big as human palms, easy to plant in the southern home, but also strong fecundity.

A simple method of plant division can be used to propagate at home. However, Cartland is slightly different from other Magnolia in terms of ramets, such as Paphiopedilum and Cymbidium, as long as they are divided from the base. In particular, Huilan, like the national orchid, "orchid head" (false bulb), connected to each other.

Cartland is mostly connected by stolons, which are divided into single-leaf varieties and double-stemmed varieties. The leaves are all connected to the "orchid head".

The new stem grows from the fixed buds differentiated from the basal nodes of the orchid head. In other words, "orchid heads" are not connected to each other, but stolons serve as their "underground bridges". Therefore, the ramets should be cut between the two "orchid heads" when propagating.

You can use a new blade or a sterilized knife as a cutting tool. Do not break it by hand or cut with a blunt knife, as this will squeeze the stolon and damage the cell tissue of the incision.

If the knife is not disinfected, but has cut the orchid strain with filtered virus (Boras), the virus will be transmitted through the incision and will not be cured. If the tool is disinfected with fire, it must be cool before use.

The incision should be disinfected with "Daxian" powder or charcoal powder.

On the "old orchid head" side, you can make a group of three gladiolus (three "orchid heads") [Jishan Huayao], while on the near new bud side, you can make a group of two gladiolus, or a gladiolus plus a new bud that has just grown.

If the "old orchid head" is withered and brown, it can be cut off, but if it is still green and solid, even if the upper leaf is cut off from the "orchid ring", it can still be retained because there are still nutrients.

Do not breed alone, or a "old orchid head" only connects a half-aged gladiolus, otherwise its growth will be weak in the future and it will be more difficult to blossom.

In the south, it is appropriate to split in the spring and autumn rainy season, not in the rainy day or too cold season.

After the ramet, it can be planted in the mango bone (snake sawdust) and covered with charcoal at the bottom; in the dry season, it is covered with a layer of wet water moss to moisturize. The "blue head" should be exposed on the mud surface. Flowerpots should be made with plain roasting pots.
