It is warm and humid, half-shaded, cold-resistant and extremely shade-resistant. It is native to all provinces and regions in southern China and is now cultivated all over China. Let's take a look at how to raise one-leaf orchid.

Cultivated varieties of one-leaf orchid

1. Variegated leaf orchid: spotted leaf orchid alias golden spider holding egg, spotted leaf spider holding egg, star spot spider holding egg, is a cultivated variety of one leaf orchid, with milky white or light yellow spots on the green leaf.

2. Golden leaf orchid: Golden leaf orchid alias golden spider holding egg, white spider holding egg, is a cultivated variety of one-leaf orchid, and there are light yellow vertical lines on the green leaves.

Ramet Propagation of Cymbidium chinense

1. Ramet time: the ramet propagation of Cymbidium can be carried out in combination with changing pots before the new buds germinate, usually after the soil is thawed in early spring (February and March).

2. Split method: take the mother plant out of the flowerpot, shake off the excess potted soil, separate the root system as much as possible, and cut it into two or more plants with a sharp knife. Each plant should have a considerable root system, and its leaves should be pruned properly to make each clump with 3 to 5 leaves, in order to survive.

How to raise a leaf orchid?

1. Soil: Magnolia lanceolata has less strict requirements for soil, and it is more resistant to barren, but it is better to use loose and fertile slightly acidic sandy loam. When potted, rotten leaf soil, peat soil and garden soil can be mixed in the same amount as substrate.

2. Watering: during the growing period, one-leaf orchid should pay more attention to adding water, because this is the most critical time, the basin soil should be kept moist, and the foliar water can be humidified frequently, and the amount of water can be reduced appropriately after autumn.

3. Lighting: one-leaf orchid is a light-loving plant, so it can be cultivated in bright indoor all the year round, but no matter indoors or outdoors, it can not be placed in direct sunlight. A short period of exposure can also cause a leaf orchid burn. Proper shading can be used to control the intensity of light.

4. Fertilization: one-leaf orchid can be applied base fertilizer before planting, and rotten leaves are generally selected, while liquid fertilizer can be applied once or twice a month during the peak growth period in spring and summer to ensure that the leaves are beautiful and bright.

Matters needing attention in culturing Cymbidium mongolica

1. One-leaf orchid should be fully watered in the growing season, keep the basin soil moist, and often spray water to the leaves, so as to sprout and grow new leaves, and the amount of water can be reduced appropriately after the end of autumn.

2. In addition to controlling temperature and moisture, one-leaf orchid culture should pay special attention to whether it is sick or not, and cut off and burn the diseased leaves in time to reduce the source of infection.

3. Before the onset of the rainy season, spraying 50% Baig or Baogong wettable powder 1000 times, 25% carbon tetralin wettable powder. Once every 10 days, prevention and control 3 times 4 times.

4. Cymbidium is a shade-tolerant plant, the light should not be too strong, otherwise it will cause leaf yellowing or disease. Too much irrigation, especially in winter, can lead to root rot and leaf yellowing.

5. The maintenance of Euphorbia angustifolia in the greenhouse can increase the night temperature of the greenhouse, increase the ventilation time during the day, and reduce the humidity and fog duration in the greenhouse, so as to achieve the purpose of disease control.

6. In the peak growth period of spring and summer, one-leaf orchid is applied once or twice a month to ensure that the leaves are beautiful and bright, and can be cultivated in bright indoor all the year round, but no matter indoors or outdoors, they can not be placed in direct sunlight.
