At that time, there were thousands of pots of magnolia, and now they only cost a few hundred yuan.

Gentleman orchid, this is a kind of ordinary flowering plant, although it blossoms brightly, generous, ornamental value is high, but it will not be hyped to "sky-high price". But just a few years ago, about seven or eight years ago, gentleman orchids could not be supported by ordinary flower friends. Because at that time, the market of gentleman orchid was crazy. Let's see if the flowers can be raised, but forget it.

I still remember that at the Changchun Gentleman Festival, a pot of magnolia was marked to a sky-high price. Unexpectedly, a small pot of magnolia, but with a special variety, was marked for 99.99 million yuan. This is a hundred million less!

It is this basin of "Tianjiao No. 1", even the pollen of Magnolia is 10,000 yuan each, well, the flower friends are short-sighted. Some flower friends commented that this is not a gentleman's orchid, this is a national treasure. Speaking of hype at that time, some flower friends said, "Grandpa sold orchids to his son!" Son sells orchid to uncle! Uncle sold orchids to his father to play in his own pot!

Why did the gentleman orchid at that time be hyped with such a high price?

First of all, there are vendors driving profit in the market, and secondly, the growth of Cymbidium is slow, the production cycle is long, and some excellent varieties with short, wide and thick leaves have been cultivated for at least three years. In addition, the cultivation of Cymbidium mainly depends on artificial cross pollination, so it virtually pushes the whole market up.

When the gentleman orchid is hyped too much, the next thing is to go downhill.

Today's gentleman orchid, no matter what kind, there is no "sky-high price". Even if it was such a high-value gentleman orchid at that time, it is now only a few hundred yuan a pot.

Market return to rationality, but also let more flower friends raise a gentleman orchid. After all, this kind of flower is so beautiful. Moreover, the magnolia blossoms twice a year, and if it is raised well, it will blossom three times. In addition, its life is very long, some of my old flower friends, they raise a gentleman orchid for 20 or 30 years.

In fact, it is not so difficult to raise a gentleman's orchid. As long as you master its growth habits, it will be easy to raise. For example, to give the gentleman orchid bright scattered light, give it a well-ventilated position. It is necessary to see dry and wet in watering, and the basin soil had better be prepared by itself, and the humus-rich and loose and fertile acid soil should be mixed with rotten leaf soil, pine needle and garden soil.

In addition, there are some tips to raise orchids, such as diluting beer with water and watering it, which can prevent arrow entrapment, and watering orchids with Amoy rice water after fermentation can make the roots more developed. Dissolving with potassium dihydrogen phosphate powder and spraying Cymbidium with water can make the leaves more green and avoid the occurrence of yellow leaves and spots. Wait, there are too many tips, so we won't share them one by one. We'll talk about it in the next issue.
