The leaf tip is round, the leaf is short, thick and hard, and the width of the adult leaf is 8.5 cm and the length is 30 cm. It is named because of the short diameter of false scales and small veins. It is a famous greenhouse flower, suitable for indoor culture. Let's take a look at the breeding methods and matters needing attention.

Growth habits of Cymbidium brevifolia

Cymbidium is not only afraid of heat but also not cold-resistant, it likes semi-overcast and humid environment, and is afraid of strong direct sunlight. The best temperature for growth is between 18 and 28 ℃, and the growth is inhibited below 10 ℃ and above 30 ℃. Like a ventilated environment, like deep, fertile and loose soil, suitable for growing in loose and fertile slightly acidic organic matter soil.

The shape characteristics of Cymbidium brevifolia

The main results are as follows: 1. The leaves of the short-leaf orchid stand on both sides, there is a gap between the leaves, there is no overlap, the bottom leaf has no hard bend at the base of the leaf, the leaf tip is flat, round, obtuse, no sharp tip, no pocket spoon.

3. The veins of Cymbidium brevifolia are relatively straight, the distance between longitudinal veins and transverse veins is small, the transverse veins are roughly uniform and rectangular, neatly arranged, and the veins at the leaf tip are compact.

4. The arrow of the short-leaf magnolia is stout, the flower stalk is short, the flower is 2-5 union, the flower is smaller than other varieties, and the pistil protrudes the Corolla and globose fruit before the flower opens.

Culture method of Cymbidium brevifolia

1. Soil: short-leaf orchid belongs to fleshy root, which is suitable to grow in loose, fertile and breathable soil, and the fertile and loose neutral or weakly acidic soil is the best choice. the choice of soil is the first key factor for the success of the cultivation of Cymbidium, which can be mixed with 65% humus soil, 20% net sand and 15% fine furnace ash.

2. Watering: keep in mind a principle of watering short-leaf magnolia, that is, if you do not need watering, you must water thoroughly. If it is watered too little at one time, it will do great harm to the magnolia. Watering time is also very fastidious, generally in the morning or evening watering is appropriate, hot summer noon is not suitable for gentleman orchid watering. When watering, you should avoid being unfaithful in love, so as not to fester.

3. Fertilization: the choice of phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer is beneficial to the growth, and nitrogen fertilizer can be applied less. Be sure to grasp the amount when applying fertilizer, too much is easy to cause the symptoms of scorched leaves of Cymbidium. Before entering the winter flowerpot, you can use bone meal, fried sesame seeds, cooked soybeans or compound fertilizer to water every 15 to 20 days.

4. Temperature: the optimum temperature of Cymbidium brevifolia is 18-28 ℃, and it is best not lower than 10 ℃. 0 ℃ Cymbidium will be frozen, and heat preservation measures must be taken in winter. After the flower stem is extracted, the indoor temperature should be maintained at about 18 ℃. High temperature can easily lead to small flowers and short florescence. If the temperature is too low, the flower stem will be short and the florescence will be earlier, which will affect the quality and ornamental value.

5. Lighting: short-leaf magnolia prefers scattered light and can not be directed by strong light. In winter, we should pay attention to the demand for light of the orchid. The orchid raised indoors can have enough light in the house, especially the orchid that is about to blossom, needs sufficient light to ensure the healthy development of the bud. The environment with good ventilation and suitable light is conducive to prolonging the flowering period.

6. pour the pot: the orchid grows up just like a child can't sleep in a small bed. At this time, you need to change a larger flowerpot for the orchid, that is, the so-called "pour the pot and change the soil." Spring and autumn is the best time for Cymbidium to change soil, because at this time, Cymbidium is full of vitality and will not affect the growth of plants because of moving to another environment.

Points for attention of Cymbidium angustifolia

1. Avoid bright light, especially in the hot summer, put the orchid in a well-ventilated environment where there is no direct light. Gentleman orchid is a medium-light flower, can not bear the summer sun exposure, suitable for the soft light in spring and autumn.

2. Some people raise Magnolia in porcelain pots, plastic pots or purple sand basins for beauty, but the air permeability of these containers is very poor. After watering in summer, it is easy to cause rotting roots due to poor permeability, difficult air circulation and blocked breathing of the roots.

3. It is not suitable to use the soil that is too raw. When choosing the breeding soil of Cymbidium, we must choose the soil that is fully fermented. If you choose unfermented horse dung or peat soil, as soon as these soils are put into a basin, they will produce high temperature and burning after fermentation in a high temperature environment.

4. When watering the orchid, do not pour dirty water, the leaves should be kept clean at all times, when there is dust, you can use gauze dipped in clean water, do not use dirty water to irrigate the orchid, this will easily cause the roots and leaves to rot and turn yellow.

5. Short-leaf magnolia should not be fertilized in summer, because summer is the dormant period of magnolia, so it is not suitable to apply fertilizer, as long as it is properly watered.
