How to raise potted Buddha beads and orchids?

Buddha beads hanging orchids, also known as Buddha beads, emerald beads, green bells, etc., are succulent plants of the Compositae family. Like hanging orchids and other plants, the branches will grow downwards and form numerous vertical vines. Round and thick heart-shaped leaves are like a string of wind chimes swaying in the wind. The florescence is generally from December of that year to January of the following year. Let's take a look at how to raise potted orchids.

The growth habit of Chlorophyllum

Buddha beads and orchids like a warm, humid, semi-overcast environment. Strong adaptability, more resistant to drought and cold. Like loose and fertile soil rich in organic matter. It grows best in the environment of warmth, high humidity and strong scattered light. Instead of soil, it grows better in loose sandy loam. Generally suitable for growth in medium light conditions, but also resistant to weak light. The suitable temperature for growth is 1525 ℃, and the overwintering temperature is 5 ℃.

The Propagation method of Cymbidium

1. Cutting propagation: the branches of Orchidaceae are very easy to take root, and can be cut off in spring and autumn. Half of them are buried in sand or loose soil to keep moist but without stagnant water. They will soon take root for planting.

2. Ramet propagation: ramet propagation can be carried out in other seasons except that the temperature in winter is too low to be suitable for ramet. When the potted plants were planted for 2 or 3 years, the dense potted seedlings were removed from the old culture soil and divided into two to several clumps when the pots were changed in spring.

3. Stem propagation: Magnolia can also be propagated by using the small plants on the walking stem. In the growing season, the small plants on the stem are cut and planted in the culture soil or water. After the small plants grow roots, they are transplanted into the basin.

How to raise potted Buddha beads and orchids?

1. Soil: the root system of Cymbidium is very shallow and can be planted in shallow pot. Generally, tiles are used to cover the bottom hole, and a layer of cinder or coarse sand is laid to increase air permeability and filtration (especially when commonly used plastic pots are planted). The soil had better use rotten leaf soil (the fallen leaves of autumn and winter trees are mixed with a certain amount of crushed soil. Mix in a certain amount of sand (the ratio of soil to sand is about 1:3).

2. Watering: Buddha beads hanging orchid is easy to rot in summer, watering should not be too frequent, it needs to be watered with a small spray can.

3. Temperature: the orchid is warm and humid, cold-tolerant (low temperature of 0 ℃ in Jianghuai area), high temperature, and the optimum temperature is about 20-28 ℃. It grows slowly at high temperature and low temperature, and almost dormant in high temperature environment.

4. Fertilization: "thin fertilizer" should be applied frequently in spring and autumn. Spraying 1 ~ 3 ‰ nitrogen fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaf surface is beneficial to make it more green and fat and improve the ornamental value.

5. Disease: there are few diseases and insect pests, and aphids are one of them in spring. Wipe off or spray 1500 times omethoate in time to kill. The damage of mites in summer and autumn needs to be killed with 1000 times triclofenac. Pay attention to ventilation and increase leaf humidity, can reduce the infection of mites.

Matters needing attention of Buddha beads and orchids

1. Temperature control: Fozhu Cymbidium prefers warm and humid climate and is not resistant to cold. It grows fastest at 20-24 ℃, stops growing at more than 30 ℃, and leaves are easy to turn yellow and dry tip. Therefore, summer heat prevention and cooling should be paid attention to ventilation, and cultivation should be carried out in the greenhouse in winter. The overwintering temperature should be 10 ℃, not lower than 5 ℃.

2. Light regulation: the outdoor cultivation of orchid should pay attention to shading in summer, so as not to make the light too strong, otherwise sunburn is easy to occur. Pay attention to daylighting when overwintering in the shed in winter to prevent the lack of light and the color of the leaves.

3. Regulation and control of water and fertilizer: in the spring and autumn growth peak season, the watering should be adequate, the basin soil should always be moist, and the branches and leaves should be sprayed with water close to room temperature to prevent dry tip, but not stagnant water. Apply rarefied liquid fertilizer once a month in the peak growing season, water less in winter and stop topdressing.
