Scientific selection of Orchid plants is the key to good Orchid cultivation

Carry forward the national orchid culture and spread the knowledge of orchids

With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, the plant materials for orchid cultivation have been changed from soil culture to breathable replacement, and granular plants with more stable characters have been planted. Up to now, there are a variety of plants that can grow orchids, which can be described as rich and varied. Although there are many kinds of plant materials to choose from, after all, orchid cultivation itself is quite technical, and it is not easy to succeed. Most veterans have found out orchid plants suitable for themselves after time, but we novices are still very confused. We still don't know how to choose orchid plants in the face of a wide variety of orchid plants on the market, and we still don't know how to use them. Choosing orchid plants is the key to growing orchids, and it is also the most important link to reduce the mortality of orchids. Most people's orchids often suffer from diseases because of improper selection of plant materials, therefore, if we can let everyone know what kind of plant materials are suitable for the growth of orchids, they can be used with high efficiency, convenience and high safety factor. Then it will be easy and easy for us to raise orchids, which is also one of the keys to reduce the technical difficulty of orchid cultivation. Please finish carefully and be sure to subvert your cognition. It will be of great help to your future career in Yilan.

First of all, we must break through the concept of soil when we cultivate orchids. We can't raise orchids well with soil, and we must choose granular plant materials. In recent years, a type of orchid plant widely used by orchid lovers is the Chinese chestnut king orchid plant, which has been developed and produced by the orchid bar for many years. It has been upgraded and iterated many times, and its producing area is Dahongshan, Hubei, one of the three main producing areas of Cymbidium in China. The ingredient is an irregular particle made from the fully fermented bark of chestnut and pine. Its weight is very light, it is drained and moisturized, it is rich in orchid bacteria, it is nutritious enough, it can be used in open bags, and there is no need to fertilize. It is a very simple and efficient organic orchid plant material.

The chestnut ingredients it contains, that is, cork for making bottle corks, are now exported in large quantities to Europe, especially France, to make wine bottle corks, which is also a natural good port for all kinds of blue bacteria and a variety of microorganisms beneficial to the growth of orchid root. At the same time, it is not suitable for the growth of miscellaneous bacteria. Of course, taking it as an orchid plant material also needs to go through some special processing, based on the advantages of this Chinese chestnut king orchid plant material. More and more people use Chinese chestnut king orchid plants to cultivate orchids, and they have become the first choice for flower lovers to cultivate orchids, but we must pay attention to fakes and fakes when choosing and buy them, and we must buy them through the regular channels of the orchid bar. If you search for "Chestnut King" in a certain treasure, you can find it to avoid being deceived and losing money and grass.

First, the traditional cultivation of orchids has always been the art of promoting the growth of orchids by optimizing the growth environment of symbiotic bacteria. As long as we can create an environment conducive to the growth of orchid flora and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, orchids can grow well, and the growth environment of wild orchids provides us with an optimized model for the growth of favorable orchids. Chestnut king orchid plant is a natural harbor for all kinds of orchid bacteria and a variety of microorganisms beneficial to the growth of orchid root, and at the same time, it is not suitable for the growth of miscellaneous bacteria. Veteran orchids all know that they rely on the symbiosis between the roots of orchids and orchids to obtain nutrients, but in the actual cultivation process, few people know whether there are orchids in their orchids and the state of orchids in orchids. How does the mixed situation of bacteria and orchid bacteria affect the growth of orchids? for the majority of orchid lovers, it is necessary to have a clear idea of these problems. It is possible to raise orchids better. This kind of plant material is only suitable for the growth of blue bacteria and is not conducive to the reproduction of miscellaneous bacteria. This is proved by our ten years of practice, observation and summary. Because of the good symbiosis between orchid root and orchid fungus, the blue hair root is long and white, and can be maintained for 2-3 years. According to the relevant identification, there are a large number of orchid bacteria, such as Armillaria, Umbrella, dry bacteria, Fungi, Umbrella and other beneficial microorganisms in this plant, which is very suitable for the growth of Langen.

Second. Chestnut king orchid plant material also has a very prominent advantage: because it is a granular organic plant, so its air permeability, asphaltene and moisture retention are very good, but also rich in orchid, and can provide sufficient nutrients for orchid and orchid root without fertilization. The chestnut bark inside is soft and contains a lot of air, and the stagnant water can be photographed immediately after watering and can effectively retain moisture. Using this kind of orchid plant material to cultivate orchids will not worry about the rotten roots caused by too much watering, and the moisturizing effect is very good at the same time, which is very conducive to the growth of orchid roots.

Third. Chinese chestnut king orchid plants are developed and produced according to the growth environment of orchids in nature. Orchids mostly grow in the place where pine bark, pine needles, chestnut bark and chestnut leaves fall off and accumulate. The orchids grow in this place will be very luxuriant, at the same time, the flowers are fragrant, the matrix in this place is loose and fertile, rich in organic matter, breathable and water-soluble, suitable for the growth of orchids. It is the growth substrate of orchids selected by themselves in nature. after many observations, it is found that the decay of pine bark or pine needles will produce a kind of fungus beneficial to the growth of orchids, just like Poria cocos grow on the roots of pine trees. Poria cocos like the probiotic flora produced after pine bark rot, and shiitake mushrooms are grown in rural areas when chestnut trees are crushed and processed and inoculated with shiitake mushrooms. This is because chestnut fragments are not easy to grow miscellaneous bacteria and are suitable for the growth of Lentinus edodes flora. Chestnut bark and pine bark are used as the main material to simulate the growth environment of orchids as much as possible, constantly thinking of ways to update and iterate. as far as possible to be better and more perfect, so the orchids using Chinese chestnut king orchids grow very well, with thick buds and strong seedlings, but the orchids still bloom and fall without fertilization in the later stage. A few seedlings of grass grew into a large pot in three or four years, and the orchid seemed to still grow on the mountain. whenever the pot was changed, the orchid root was almost full of pots, white and long, and very stretched, but the plant material was much less assimilated, decomposed and absorbed by the orchid root. Some pots almost have only three or two handfuls of plant material left.

Fourth, the use of pine chestnut king orchid plant material has the effect of rapid rejuvenation of rotten roots and weak seedlings of orchids. When using pine chestnut king orchid plant material, most of the orchids were spore-shaped, and the number was small. Orchid spores in the king orchid plant material will transform into orchid bacteria and multiply over time, and gradually increase, and there is even no flora after cooking. However, once the Chinese chestnut king orchid plant comes into contact with the root of the orchid, the orchid bacteria in the root of the orchid will infiltrate and propagate rapidly in the Chinese chestnut king orchid plant, gradually increasing. The growth of orchid root and the increase of orchid bacteria, the process of absorbing each other's secretions and feces for their own use, we call it "synchronous action". Careful orchid lovers who grow orchids with Chinese chestnut king orchids can find that there are a lot of white bacteria in the plants. This kind of bacteria is what we often call orchids, and we also become "probiotics", but there is another situation in which the bacteria are green, and this is miscellaneous bacteria. We also become "anaerobes", this kind of miscellaneous bacteria is caused by poor ventilation, we need to strengthen ventilation!

The characteristics and advantages of the above four aspects are all in all aspects of orchid cultivation, which more or less reduces the technical difficulty of orchid cultivation, and relatively greatly improves the probability of success in orchid culture. There are still many advantages of this kind of planting material. First introduce the above four aspects, so that the majority of orchid enthusiasts have a preliminary understanding. Interested orchids can first plant a few pots to try. Because the producing area of this kind of plant material is regional, orchid friends who are not in the production area can choose and buy it online, such as searching for "Chestnut King" in a certain treasure or "reading the original text" in the lower left corner. A good plant material can easily raise orchids and get twice the result with half the effort. The plant material can be used immediately by opening the bag or mixed with stones at 1:1. Beginners recommend it to be mixed with stones, and veterans use it directly.
