Let's take a look at the seedling price and planting method of Bletilla striata together!

Breeding method of bletilla striata

1. Plant division: Bletilla striata is commonly used for plant division and propagation. Before the new leaves germinate in spring or after the ground withers in autumn and winter, the old plants are dug up and the pseudobulbs are divided into 3~5 plants. However, the propagation cycle is long, the efficiency is low and the seed consumption is large, which is difficult to meet the needs of mass cultivation.

2, sowing: Bletilla striata can be used to sow reproduction, but the seeds of Bletilla striata are very small and only a few cells constitute an incomplete embryo, so it is difficult to germinate and grow under natural conditions, and the cultivation of seedlings is more difficult.

3. Tissue culture: Bletilla striata tissue culture technology can rapidly propagate a large number of seedlings, usually sterile sowing on the culture medium, and clone propagation by tissue culture method after seed germination, so as to realize large-scale production of Bletilla striata seedlings.

Cultivation conditions of Bletilla striata

1. Soil: Bletilla striata is not strict with soil requirements, but loose and thick sandy loam and humus loam should be selected.

2. Temperature: Bletilla striata likes warm, slightly cold-resistant, and can be cultivated in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

3. Light: Bletilla striata is resistant to shade and strong, avoid direct sunlight, and its leaves are easy to wither when it is hot and dry in summer.

4. Moisture: Bletilla striata likes damp environment, is afraid of waterlogging, and does not tolerate drought. It needs to be watered frequently to keep moisture.

The planting method of bletilla

1. Soil selection: Bletilla striata should be well drained, sandy loam and humus loam with more humus, warm and slightly humid environment, not cold-resistant, and good drainage mountain planting should be selected as shady slope wasteland.

2. Soil preparation and ridge: plowing more than 20 cm of Bletilla striata planting land, applying 1000 kg of farm manure per mu, plowing the land again to mix the soil and fertilizer evenly, thinning and raking before planting, and making high ridges with a width of 130~150 cm.

3. Intertillage and weeding: Bletilla striata seedlings grow vigorously in May and June, and weeds grow very fast. Therefore, weeding should be carried out, weeding should be combined with loosening the surface of the bed, and weeding should be shallow to avoid root damage.

4, timely topdressing: Bletilla striata is a fertile plant, usually sprayed once a month potassium dihydrogen phosphate or thin human and animal dung urine, July to August to stop growing into dormancy, but to prevent weeds.

5. Irrigation and drainage: Bletilla striata likes damp environment, so it should be kept moist frequently. It should be watered in case of drought. It should be watered once in the morning and evening from July to September, but Bletilla striata is afraid of waterlogging. Drainage should be carried out in time to avoid root injury in case of heavy rain.

6. Disease and pest control: Bletilla striata black spot disease is sprayed with 70% thiophanate-methyl WP 1000 times solution, root knot nematode disease is irrigated with 3% furadan granules, cutworm can be artificially killed and trapped or mixed with toxic soil for control.
