Propagation methods and matters needing attention of Cymbidium

The shape of Cymbidium is very beautiful and is loved by flower friends, but the cultivation difficulty of Cymbidium is not as simple as imagined. If properly maintained, Cymbidium will be very beautiful when it blossoms. Some flower friends will want to breed Cymbidium by themselves, what method should be used to operate it? What problems should be paid attention to in the process of reproduction?

1. Split-plant method. Ramet after flowering. A brief dormancy period before the new buds grow up. Pour the mother plant out of the basin. Then remove the culture medium, withered yellow leaves, old pseudobulbs and rotten roots. Cut off too many pseudobulbs with a sharp knife for ramet. Each clump should have 3 pseudobulbs of 2 Mel. One of them must be newly formed. And then wash it. Put it in the shade for 1-2 days and plant when the root is slightly whitish and there is no obvious dry shrinkage. The root is softer this way. It is not easy to break in operation and easy to survive. In order to prevent the wound from being infected with germs, the incision can be coated with plant ash or sulfur powder.

2. As a seedling production unit, plant tissue culture can be used to propagate a large number of commercial seedlings with a very small amount of materials.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Cymbidium

Speaking of Cymbidium, I believe most people do not know that this is a kind of Shenmen flower. Different from natural orchids such as Phalaenopsis, Cymbidium is a kind of artificial hybrid, and Cymbidium is not a kind of flower, but a general term for the varieties of Cymbidium cultivated by artificial hybridization with bright colors and large flowers. So what kind of flowers is this Cymbidium, and how should it be planted? Now let's take a look at it together.

Brief introduction of Cymbidium

Cymbidium is cultivated by artificial hybridization, also known as Cymbidium, Cicada and Cymbidium. Cymbidium is mainly distributed in southwest Guangxi, southwest Sichuan, southwest Guizhou, Yunnan and southeast Xizang. Cymbidium cymbidium has long green leaves, rough flower posture, bold and magnificent, is the world-famous "orchid star". With the delicate fragrance and elegance of the national orchid and the rich and colorful of the foreign orchid, it is very popular in the international flower market and is deeply loved by flower lovers.

Growth habits of Cymbidium

Cymbidium is native to southwest China, with green leaves and normal flower diameter, growing in moist streams and ditches or in the semi-shady environment under the forest. In general, the temperature for the growth of Cymbidium is about 10 degrees Celsius. Normally, Cymbidium will blossom at the door from February to March every year, but if the temperature of the growing environment is too low, the leaves of Cymbidium are yellow at that time. The flower bud does not grow, and the flowering period will be delayed and will not bloom until April or May.

The main planting method of Cymbidium is to propagate separately. The ramet propagation method is not only simple to operate, but also has a high survival rate of Cymbidium. Split propagation of Cymbidium is selected during the dormancy period after the flowering period of the plant. First, dry the cymbidium properly to make it less white and softer, then cut the plants with orchid seedlings, and use sulfur powder or carbon powder to prevent Cymbidium infection. After the ramet, leave it dry for 2 days and then pot it. In general, Cymbidium can only split once every 2 or 3 years, and can not often propagate, which is not good for the growth and development of Cymbidium.

Matters needing attention in Cymbidium Culture

Cymbidium likes moisture and light. In terms of water quality, Cymbidium has higher requirements. This is because Cymbidium is sensitive to calcium and magnesium ions in water. If the humidity of the surrounding soil is not enough, the plants of Cymbidium will underdevelop, so the leaves of Cymbidium will become thicker, narrower and yellow, so we should pay attention to watering Cymbidium when breeding. In addition, light is also an important reason that affects the normal growth of Cymbidium. Cymbidium likes warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is necessary to add auxiliary light to Cymbidium in winter and shade it in summer.

Conclusion: when Cymbidium is blooming, the temperature should be controlled between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius, and it should not be placed in a hot and dry place, otherwise the flowers will soon turn yellow and fall off. The above is the introduction of Cymbidium culture methods and matters needing attention. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Cymbidium

Cymbidium is native to tropical plants in India, and was later introduced into southern China and bred after crossing with local orchids. This plant has bright colors, large flowers and good ornamental value. It can be cultivated in scenic spots or potted indoors. However, many people do not understand its breeding methods and do not know what to pay attention to in cultivating this kind of plant. Today, the editor will give you a specific introduction.

Culture method

1. Soil

In order to cultivate Cymbidium, the choice of soil is very important. It likes loose, breathable and well-drained soil. It can usually use rotten leaf soil to grow Cymbidium, and it can also use moss charcoal shavings and bark blocks to prepare basin soil. It can not use ordinary culture soil, because their ventilation and drainage are relatively poor, after planting will lead to the root rot of Cymbidium.

2. Moisture

Cultivation of Cymbidium can only be properly watered to make it grow normally. Cymbidium, a plant that likes high temperature and high humidity, should give sufficient water to its roots in spring, summer and autumn, and spray water to the leaves in time. However, after flowering in early spring, Cymbidium will enter a short dormant period, which is necessary to reduce the water supply and wait for the new buds to grow larger before they can be watered more.

3. Sunshine

Cymbidium is a sunny plant, it likes to grow in a sunny environment, but it can not accept strong light, it is best to put it in an environment with plenty of scattered light, but after entering the flowering period, Cymbidium should be placed in a place with weak light, so that its flowers can be more beautiful.

Matters needing attention

During the cultivation of Cymbidium, we must pay attention to the prevention of diseases and insect pests, leaf spot disease, gray mold and other diseases should be timely sprayed carbendazim, after the occurrence of insect pests should be caught in time, or spray drugs. In addition, when cultivating Cymbidium, we should also pay attention to pruning. Its pseudobulbs generally contain more than four leaf buds, so that their nutritional molecules must be removed completely.
