White orchid is a famous ornamental flowers and trees, with white and elegant colors, charming fragrance, long flowering period, dense green branches and leaves, very high ornamental and beautifying value, simple maintenance, and more ways of reproduction. Grafting and striping are used more, while sowing and cutting are used less, but family breeding, grafting and crimping are enough.

Magnolia magnolia sowing and propagation

Sowing seedlings at the end of September or early October, harvest the mature fruit, take out the seeds, soak them in ash water for 2 days, then scrub the waxy aril, rinse them with clean water, and then sow the seeds. The seeds can also be washed and refrigerated with wet sand stratification method, otherwise they are easy to lose their germination ability, and they will be sown indoors in March of the following year and can emerge in about 20 days.

Cuttage propagation of white orchid

White orchid can be propagated by cutting, but the ability of reproduction and regeneration of white orchid is poor, so it is not easy to root and survive by cutting, so it is not adopted.

Grafting propagation of white orchid

White orchids are often propagated by grafting, generally using the 2-3-year-old Zhuo of Magnolia and Huanglan as rootstocks, and there are two kinds of grafting methods, one is by grafting, the other is by cutting.

1, lean on to connect: rely on the time, from spring to autumn, the whole growing season can be carried out. Most of them are carried out from April to July. The best place to lean on is 70 cm from the ground. After being tied up, it is wrapped in a mass of mud and wrapped in leaves to prevent Rain Water from scouring. It can be cut off after about 60 days. Grafting is an easier way to survive, but it is not as exuberant as cutting.

2. Cutting: in the middle and late September, the well-developed branches of Magnolia should be selected as the scion, the section of the rootstock and the scion should be closely combined, bound and mudded with plastic film strips, and the scion should be buried with soil to keep the soil moist. In northern China, the scion should be covered with straw in winter, and the mulch should be removed in the next spring. 4-5 buds in the upper part of the branch should be retained after germination, and the rest of the buds should be removed. After 2-3 years of routine maintenance, they can bloom.

Striping propagation of white orchid

White orchid striping propagation is also used in more ways of reproduction, mainly divided into ordinary striping and high branch crimping.

1. Ordinary pressing: the ordinary pressing is best carried out in February to March, cut the base of the branch to be pressed into half the depth, then cut a section upward, and then stick a tile in the middle, then gently press it into the soil without breaking it, insert it into the soil with "U"-shaped thick wire, fix it, prevent it from warping, and then pile it on the soil. After the root bud is sent out, the strip can be cut off and planted in spring.

2. High branch pressing: select strong and disease-free twigs (1.5-2 cm in diameter) on the mother plant before entering, cut the cracks in the lower part of the basin fork, then cover them with bamboo tube or bottomless tile pot, fill them with culture soil, tie them tightly with string on the outside, be careful not to touch them, often spray a small amount of water, keep them moist, and grow new roots around May of the following year.

Introduction to the breeding methods of White Orchid

White orchid plant shape upright branched, generous, in the south can be cultivated in the open courtyard, is the backbone of the southern garden tree species, potted can be arranged in the courtyard, hall, conference room, small and medium-sized plants can be displayed in the living room, study, has a high breeding value, let's take a look at the cultivation methods of white orchid!

Growth habits of White Orchid

1. Habits: Magnolia flowers like light, afraid of high temperature, not cold-resistant, suitable for slightly acidic soil. Like warm and humid, not resistant to drought and waterlogging, sensitive to sulfur dioxide, chlorine and other toxic gases, poor resistance.

2. Propagation: the propagation methods of white orchids are grafting, striping, sowing and cutting. the more commonly used propagation methods are grafting and crimping, while sowing and cutting are less, but they are used in family breeding. Grafting and striping are enough.

Culture methods of White Orchid

1. Soil: White orchid likes acidic soil, and the requirement of soil pH value is 5.5-6.3. it is best to use fertile, loose and well-drained soil. It can be prepared with 5 parts of pine needle rotten leaf soil, 2 parts of crude bran ash, 2 parts of coarse sand and 1 part of retted barnyard manure, and do not use fine sand or clay with poor permeability.

2. Sunshine: Magnolia magnolia is a positive flower, which needs plenty of sunlight and should be maintained on sunny ground with long sunshine and strong light during growth, especially during flowering. The light should not be less than 6 hours a day. If it is maintained in a shaded place, it will only grow leaves but not blossom, or blossom very little, the branches are slender, the leaves are light, and the leaves are thin and dull, which is disadvantageous to the growth. But in summer to avoid direct sunlight, 9 am to 4 pm to give shade, at the same time to spray water on the leaf and the ground to increase air humidity.

3. Temperature: White orchids like to be warm and afraid of cold, so special attention should be paid to protection to make them safe to survive the winter. It is generally moved into the room in late October and placed in the sunny place. it is better to keep about 10 ℃ at room temperature, not less than 5 ℃.

4. Watering: White orchid belongs to fleshy root, the potted soil is too wet, the leaves will wither and fall off, and even the rotten roots will die, and if they are too dry, they will wither and curl their leaves. They are flowers that are afraid of both waterlogging and drought. During the flowering period, when the petals are overstretched, it shows that the water is insufficient, and if the water is suitable, it is bract. The surface of the basin soil is dry, and when the soil is hard and cracked, it should be watered immediately. Watering requires that the water temperature and soil temperature must be the same, and can not suddenly pour cold or hot water. Spring and autumn generally can be watered once a day, hot summer, large evaporation, exuberant growth, can appropriately increase the number of watering and weight. When moving indoors in winter, you should refrain from watering.

5. Fertilization: White orchid flowers have a long flowering period and like fertilizer, but if there is not enough fertilizer, they will blossom less. Inappropriate fertilization will lead to excessive growth of branches and leaves and poor flowering. Before the germination of new buds from February to March, mature cake fertilizer was used as base fertilizer. Thin human feces and urine were applied during flowering, or 9 parts of fermented liquid fertilizer from bean cake, tea seed cake and fish bones were mixed with water, once every 3-4 days. Stop fertilizing half a month before entering the house for the winter.

6. Pruning: during the growth of white orchid, the plant should be pruned, the diseased branches and overgrown branches should be cut off, and part of the lower leaves should be removed so as to inhibit plant growth and promote more flowering of pregnant buds.

7. Insect pests: the main diseases and insect pests of white orchids are yellowing, anthrax, red spiders, shell insects and so on. Anthracnose can be treated with 50% carbendazim wettable powder 500 times, or 50% topiramate wettable powder 500 times, sprayed once every 5-10 days. Once red spiders and shell insects are found, they can be scraped off with bamboo. Red spiders can be sprayed with 1000 times of triclofenac or 1000 times of triclofenesulfone.

Points for attention of White Orchid

1. Soil requirements: 5 parts of pine needle rotten leaf soil, 2 parts of coarse bran ash, 2 parts of coarse sand and 1 part of retting barnyard manure can be used for cultivation soil which is required to be fertile, loose and well drained. Do not use fine sand or clay heavy soil with poor air permeability. The upper basin uses ventilated tile pots (plain burning pots), do not use glazed pots, porcelain pots, purple sand pots, etc., it is best to use deeper cylindrical flowerpots, buckle empty flowerpots under the pots, and erect them with bricks to prevent poor drainage; the bottom of the basin is paved with about 5 cm of slag and gravel.

2, suitable for water: White orchid belongs to fleshy root, the potted soil is too wet, the leaves will wither and fall off, even the rotten roots will die, and if they are too dry, they will wither and curl leaves. They are flowers that are afraid of both flood and drought. During the flowering period, when the petals are too open, it shows that the water is insufficient, and the suitable moisture is in the shape of a bud; the surface of the basin soil is dry, and the soil should be watered immediately when the soil is hard and cracked. Watering requires that the water temperature and soil temperature must be the same, and can not suddenly pour cold or hot water. Watering must be thoroughly watered, often half of the water will cause shallow roots. White orchids should not be watered in spring and autumn, they should be watered every day in midsummer and must be watered in the evening, and the amount of water should be reduced at the end of autumn and watered every 10 days in winter. The overcast and rainy season should be moved to shelter.

3. Like acid and fear alkali: White orchid likes acidic soil, and the requirement of soil pH value is 5.56.3. In the northern region, white orchids are not easy to raise because most of the water and soil there are alkaline, which dissolves the protoplasm of white orchid cells, resulting in slow growth and poor growth of flowers. Often irrigated with fermented Amoy rice water, the effect is better.

4. Do not apply thick fertilizer: White orchids like phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, but avoid high concentration, otherwise it will produce reverse osmosis and cause "physiological drought" of the plant, wilting in light and burning to death in heavy. The fertilization principle of white orchid is: "sparse application, regular application, evening application". Practice has proved that using thin human feces, urine and bean cake water mixed with smashed fish offal, rotten shrimp, chicken viscera, etc., after retting, it is applied every 3-5 days according to the proportion of fertilizer and water at 1:9, and calcium sulfate is added when it is applied, the effect is better, and the fragrance of white orchid can be strong.

The fengshui effect of how to propagate White Orchid

Many people will choose to plant white orchids in the courtyard at home. How do white orchids breed? Next, let's talk about the fengshui function of white orchid.

Propagation methods of white orchids:

1. Grafting propagation of white orchids

White orchids are often propagated by grafting. Generally, magnolia and yellow orchids are used as rootstocks. In June, the branches of white orchids can be grafted on the branches of magnolia and yellow orchids. Their incisions are 3-5 cm long and are tied tightly with plastic strips after joining. After about 3 months, the rootstock basically grows with the scion, which can be cut off from the mother plant and remove the upper part of the rootstock. It becomes a new plant.

2. Striping propagation of Magnolia

White orchid striping propagation is also used in more ways of reproduction, mainly divided into ordinary striping and high branch crimping.

1. Ordinary pressing: the ordinary pressing is best carried out in February to March, cut the base of the branch to be pressed into half the depth, then cut a section upward, and then stick a tile in the middle, then gently press it into the soil without breaking it, insert it into the soil with "U"-shaped thick wire, fix it, prevent it from warping, and then pile it on the soil. After the root bud is sent out, the strip can be cut off and planted in spring.

2. High branch pressing: select strong and disease-free twigs (1.5-2 cm in diameter) on the mother plant before entering, cut the cracks in the lower part of the basin fork, then cover them with bamboo tube or bottomless tile pot, fill them with culture soil, tie them tightly with string on the outside, be careful not to touch them, often spray a small amount of water, keep them moist, and grow new roots around May of the following year.

3. Sowing and propagation of white orchids

Sowing and raising seedlings at the end of September or early October, harvest the ripe fruit, take out the seeds, soak them in ash water for 2 days, then scrub the waxy aril and rinse them with clean water to sow the seeds; you can also wash the seeds and refrigerate them with the wet sand stratification method, otherwise it is easy to lose the seed germination ability. It was sown in the indoor pot in March of the following year, and the seedlings could emerge in about 20 days.

IV. Cutting Propagation of White Orchid

White orchids can also be propagated by cutting, but the ability of reproduction and regeneration of white orchids is poor, and it is not easy to root and survive by cutting, so most of them are not adopted.

There are more ways of propagation of white orchids, more grafting and striping are used, while sowing and cutting are less used, but for family breeding, grafting and striping are enough.

The fengshui function of white orchid:

1. Optimize home fengshui

Magnolia flowers like to be warm and moist, should be well ventilated, have sufficient sunshine, fear cold, avoid dampness, neither shade nor sunburn, which gives the owner a standard to judge whether the home environment is suitable for warmth, moist and ventilation. if a home's white orchid grows well, it proves that these writing conditions have been achieved. These conditions are the criteria for judging whether a house is good or bad. If you don't know whether your fengshui is good or not, plant a white orchid to judge.
