Whether the growth momentum is strong or not is an important condition for the selection and aesthetic appreciation of orchids.

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

Orchid friends all know that the selection and aesthetic appreciation of orchids have various conditions and requirements, such as petal shape, color and so on. However, the issue of growth potential does not seem to be talked about much in all kinds of orchid works. in fact, it is very important and should be paid enough attention to.

The growth potential mentioned here mainly refers to the genetic factors, but does not discuss the decline caused by improper cultivation or sick thin seedlings. Emphasize the growth potential, the first is whether the growth potential of the plant is strong? Plants with strong growth potential should have a high seedling rate under normal environmental conditions, produce new leaves quickly, grow healthily, and eventually grow into strong seedlings with plump, clear and elastic leaves. Even in the hot and dry time, the leaf "seems to have a sense of dehydration" is not heavy.

It shows exuberant vitality and gives people a feeling full of vitality. At the same time, only such plants have strong adaptability and resistance, are not easy to get diseases and insect pests, and are easy to develop, popularize and spread. In fact, the plants and leaves of the most popular famous products often have this quality. Such as Song Mei, Wang Zi, Zheng Tonghe, especially Zheng Tonghe, are praised as "Ye Zi is born strong, therefore, whether it is sagging or completely drooping, the majestic momentum is not affected."

The second is the flower, no matter which kind of variety, its opening should show such a process: the bud is full, sprout at the right time, after reaching the height of the variety, arranging the bell (especially refers to the multi-flowering cymbidium, lotus petal orchid, etc.), showing Phoenix eyes, blooming. And within three weeks, the scape is strong, the floret stalk is not soft and drooping, and the petal shape and color are basically unchanged. Some orchid friends summed it up as: perfect flowering process, good flower guard.

The most powerful famous products in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not only Song Mei, Wang Zi and Zheng Tonghe mentioned above, but also the best of Jiyuan and Huilan. Cheng Mei and Xie Pei are such good varieties of jade, graceful and durable. Yunnan's "four" traditional famous products are big and small snow, Weishan cinnabar orchid and Tonghai sword all show such excellent characteristics. On the contrary, if the flower blooms on the potted noodles, the arrow is weak and the hairpin is soft, and it becomes ugly after three days, this kind of flower can only make people feel depressed. Even if it has some merits and is favored for a while, it is difficult to have real vitality and will eventually be eliminated. We orchid lovers should aim to collect excellent varieties with exuberant vitality and durable potential of leaves and flowers. Once obtained, it is carefully cultivated, so that the value plant can be grown and eventually spread. This is the real success of an orchid lover.

Orchids, you are a good teacher on the way to raise orchids.
