Let's take a look at whether the orchid will bloom or not.

Will the orchid blossom?

The orchid will blossom. In people's impression, the one-leaf orchid does not blossom, but it is not. It usually blossoms in April, with a short stem and a solitary flower at the top of the stem, which is borne on the rhizome exposed below the foliage, covered with lobes, purple-brown, dark spots on the outside, a pistil in the center and a large stigma covering the stamens. Fruiting after flowering, green spherical berries, shaped like spider eggs, are held by leaves, so a leaf orchid is also known as a spider egg.

Culture method of one-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.

What if the leaves of an orchid turn yellow?

1. the light is too strong

[reason] one-leaf orchid bogey is in direct sunlight, and short-term sunlight exposure may also cause leaf burns and yellowing, reducing ornamental value.

[methods] one-leaf orchid can be cultivated in bright indoor all the year round, but it can not be placed in direct sunlight either indoors or outdoors.

2. Too little light

[reason] one-leaf orchid is extremely shady and can be watched for months even in a dark room, but too dark for a long time is not conducive to the germination and growth of new leaves. If the light is too little in a dark place for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow.

[methods] if it is placed in a dark room, it is best to move it to a place with bright light for a period of time to facilitate growth and viewing, especially during the period from the germination of new leaves to the growth and maturity of new leaves.

3. Overwatering

[reason] overwatering is also one of the reasons for the yellowing of the leaves of Cymbidium, which likes water and has a certain tolerance, even if it is dry for several days, it will not die, but if too much watering will affect the respiration of the roots and cause the leaves to yellowing.

[methods] the watering of Cymbidium should be dry and wet, not too much, but not too little, and sufficient water is needed during the growth period.

4. Excessive fertilization

[reason] Cymbidium does not have a great demand for fertilizer, so it is best to apply light fertilizer each time. If too much fertilizer is applied, it will burn roots and destroy the growth of Cymbidium, and the leaves will turn yellow due to fertilizer damage.

[methods] dilute liquid fertilizer can be applied 1-2 times a month to promote the germination and robust growth of new leaves, to ensure that the leaves are beautiful and bright, and not to apply too much fertilizer.

5. Pest infection

[reason] Red spiders are very easy to appear in orchids maintained indoors, and insect pests are also the reason for the yellowing of leaves.

[methods] the two sides of leaves should be checked frequently, and triclofenac and nisolan should be sprayed in time.
