When buying orchids with buds out of season, you should see carefully. Second, they cannot be raised.

This is a cymbidium, which came down the mountain in March this year. At that time, the cymbidium grew in a relatively bare place at the top of the mountain, and it seemed that it had suffered frost damage last winter. There is no bud when going down the hill, and the seedling body is very poor.

After putting on the pot, the seedling body has not recovered. On July 5, it was found that there was a bud, and there were two new seedlings. This is obviously abnormal. Cymbidium rarely produces buds in this season, and its new seedlings are also the kind of "undersea seedlings," which grow outward from the middle of the roots, which feels very laborious.

With regard to orchids coming out of season, there are two situations. First, the spring missed flowering, or was affected by external forces and failed to bud, generally in this case the seedlings are not weak, there are sufficient conditions and energy to bud. But most of the flowers are not as good as those in season.

And this is obviously not the case with this cymbidium. This is the second kind, the plant has a kind of reproductive information, once it feels that its life is running out, it will use all its energy to reproduce. Flowering is only the first step in reproduction, which is an instinctive reaction formed by plants in the process of evolution. According to the textbook, this is the reproductive growth of plants.

For the first kind of orchid, the good farmer suggested that the bud should be removed, and that a strong seedling is the key. After all, out-of-season orchids are not fragrant and beautiful enough, so there is no need to lose a good opportunity to raise seedlings.

On the other hand, the second kind of seedling is basically unable to feed. The good farmer also saw on the Internet some time ago that some people were selling this kind of out-of-season orchid seedling with a bud. Of course, they would clean up the orchid seedling and then make up a story for it. It can often sell at a good price.

But orchid friends, especially novice Orchid friends, mistakenly think that this kind of orchid has new buds and buds, so it feels like picking up a bargain. But do not know that those new buds are actually waste buds, the bud is impossible to come out, and the most important orchid seedlings cannot be raised at all.

Therefore, when you encounter this kind of out-of-season orchid, you must take a closer look at it carefully. Is its seedling strong enough? Whether it missed the flowering period, or whether the reproductive information burst out of the bud before death.
