The leaves of tiger skin orchid are straight and straight more than 1 meter.

Tiger skin orchid, also known as tiger tail orchid, tall and straight handsome, green leaves, easy to cultivate and feed, what lazy flower friends like. A friend often posted her tiger skin orchid in her circle of friends, growing more than 1 meter, which caused a lot of praise at the bottom, and she was so beautiful. Recently, when I was going to visit her house, I just asked her what skills she had to take care of the tiger Pilan.

Friends are also more straightforward and are happy to share her care experience. She said, in fact, the maintenance of Tiger Pilan is very simple, as long as you do the following steps, you can easily burst the basin, the leaves rub long, higher than Yao Ming may be oh.

1. The choice of basin

The tiger Pilan in a friend's house is really too tall and is tied to a fixed shape with a ribbon, otherwise it is easy to grow askew. Maintenance of tiger skin orchid generally use 20-30cm diameter flowerpots, with white plastic pots or purple sand flowerpots for the best, every 2 years or so to change pots, when changing pots than the last time 2 size can. If it grows faster, it should be changed for a year, otherwise the basin is too small to prevent its growth.

It is best not to water the pot for half a month before changing the pot, so that you can turn around the pot wall with a wooden pole when you change the pot, and gently pour out the pot soil without hurting the root system. 1-2 years of basin soil will generally be a little stiff, this is also one of the reasons for growing flowers and changing pots, basin soil hardening, the root is difficult to breathe, affecting growth. In peacetime maintenance, it is recommended that we use microbial organic nutrient solution, which can not only supplement nutrition, but also activate the soil and loosen the soil and improve the soil environment.

2. Matters needing attention.

It is critical that potted soil can directly absorb the source of nutrients by plants. The principle of soil allocation is to be fertile, breathable and fertilized. Many experienced flower friends will do this in the pot. At the bottom of the pot, it is OK to put a layer of broken bricks or cinders or small stones. This is to ensure that the pot soil is breathable and easy for the roots to breathe.

Next is the secret of her friend to make the tiger Pilan grow very tall. it turned out that she buried a layer of soybeans on the top of the air. This soybean is really a flower-growing baby, and many flower pots can be used, because soybeans are high in nitrogen and can provide nutrients to green plants in the later stage. Yellow leaves alone are not good enough. We have to do a good job in the next step.

The friend also mixed the eggshell, leaves and the soybeans, and the fertilizer fermented slowly at the bottom of the basin, fully ensuring that the tiger skin orchid in the basin was not fat. If you want to imitate, it is recommended that you first cook these eggshells, soybeans and bark, and then put them in a flowerpot, which will be safer.

Then fill in a layer of rotten leaf soil, which is fine, so it can play the role of keeping fat. Before using this soil, it is best to use medicine or fire sterilization before use. there are many insect eggs in the soil, which is also the root cause of diseases and insect pests. Then you can water the pot and keep it in a cool and ventilated place.

This tiger skin orchid grows so well that after two months, we have to fertilize regularly in time, but we also have to pay attention to the application of thin fertilizer. we use flowers with strong roots to know how to supplement fertilizer with organic nutrient liquid, which is pure plant fermented organic fertilizer, which is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It is used 500 times diluted during the peak growth period, once a week, 1000 times diluted at other times, and once every 10 days. Hupilan is more likely to explode.
