Sowing method of Orchid in February

Sowing time:

February orchid sowing usually takes place in autumn, and the best time is August. If it is too late, the seedlings will die because the seedlings are too small to stand the cold.

Seeding rate:

The number of seeds per gram of Cymbidium is about 300-400, and the suitable sowing rate is 1 kg / mu, usually 1-2 grams per square meter.

Sowing depth:

Strictly control the sowing depth, shallow sowing is appropriate, to ensure that the emergence of soil moisture in the case of sowing depth of 1-2 cm, poor soil moisture sowing depth of 2-3 cm.

Sowing method:

The sowing method of orchid in February can be divided into two ways: sowing and strip sowing, the row spacing of strip sowing should be controlled between 15-20cm, after sowing, it needs to be dug up and buried, and if conditions permit, special tools or machinery can be used to sow seeds, but no matter which method is adopted for sowing, target leveling and timely suppression should be carried out after sowing.

Cymbidium has a certain ability of cold resistance, but attention must be paid to keeping warm in the seedling stage after sowing, otherwise it will lead to the death of seedlings caused by freezing injury. In addition, before reproduction, the soil should be renovated to ensure that the soil is loose and fertile, and watering should be increased according to the growth of seedlings. When the buds grow into seedlings, it is necessary to increase fertilization to give them the nutrition they need for growth, and to increase some light exposure to increase photosynthesis to promote plant growth.

Conclusion: the sowing method of February orchid is introduced here, so those who are interested should try it as soon as possible.

February orchid planting method February orchid language

Pueraria (February blue), genus of Cruciferae, annual or biennial herbs. It is called February Blue because the blue-purple flowers begin to bloom around the second month of the lunar calendar. Grow in plains, mountains, roadsides, the edge of the ground. Low requirements for soil light and other conditions, cold and drought resistance, tenacious vitality. So how to grow orchids in February? February orchid language, how long is the orchid flower in February? When will the orchid sow in February?

The planting method of February orchid:

1. Soil: February orchid is not strict with soil. It is best to choose sandy soil that is loose, fertile and well drained. Potted February orchid has higher requirements for basin soil. Here, it can be considered to choose 6 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of perlite and 1 part of plant ash to mix evenly, and the base fertilizer in the basin should be enough.

2. Lighting: as February orchid is a short-day plant, daily sunshine does not need too long, indoor light can be illuminated by scattered light.

3. Temperature: due to the cold resistance of February orchid, the temperature control can be extensive, and the most suitable temperature for growth and flowering is between 15 and 25 degrees.

4. Fertilization: orchid likes fertilizer in February. Sufficient fertility will not only make February orchid grow faster, but also promote the flowering and fruiting of February orchid to fertilize four times a year. Flower bud fertilizer in early spring, strong fertilizer after flower fade, strong fruit fertilizer after fruit setting, strong seedling fertilizer before winter. If 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution is sprayed once at the flower bud stage and the young fruit stage, the flower color will be more beautiful and the fruit will be fuller.

5. Insect diseases: the common pests in February orchid planting are aphids, cabbage insects, snails, leaf miners and so on. If pests are found, drug control should be carried out in time.

6. Pruning: in order to maintain a good ornamental effect of February orchid, it must be controlled not to make it sturdy, and it is generally trimmed to a height of 10 ~ 15 cm with a lawn mower during the fruiting period.

Orchid language in February

The flower words of Yuelan: humility and simplicity, selfless dedication. It is an annual or biennial herb. It is called February orchid because it begins to bloom blue-purple flowers around the second month of the lunar calendar. It is also because it is said that Zhuge Liang used to pick tender shoots as dishes when he led the army to battle, so he got the name Zhuge vegetable.

Legends related to February Orchid

According to legend, Zhuge Liang became Liu Bei's military commander, director of military food and taxes. As Liu Bei has a large number of troops and horses, the relative demand for food and forage is greater, and the burden on the people is even greater. For example, if the people do not have enough to eat and wear, the people will be unstable. On one occasion, Zhuge Liang went on a micro-clothing tour and saw a dish called "Mangjing". She learned from the old farmer that this dish was full of treasures, leaves and stems could be eaten, and leftovers could be made into pickles. When it was not picked up, it could become the head dish.

Zhuge Liang was very interested in this dish. He asked the old farmer about the yield and planting method of "Mengjing" per mu, and ordered soldiers to open up wasteland to grow this vegetable. On the one hand, it could be used as livestock feed, which was both economical and affordable, and killed two birds with one stone. So Zhuge Liang ordered the local army to plant "Mangjing" widely, and the military grain was sufficient. Later generations called this dish Zhuge vegetable.

Orchid florescence in February

February orchid blossoms from April to May and the fruit period is from May to June.

In February, the plant height of Cymbidium is 20-70cm, usually 30-50cm. The stem is erect and has only a single stem. The basal and lower cauline leaves are pinnately parted, the leaf base is heart-shaped, and the leaf margin has obtuse teeth; the upper cauline leaf is oblong or narrowly ovate, the leaf base clasping is auriculate, and the leaf margin has an irregular serrated structure. Racemes terminal, bearing 5-20 flowers, petals with fine veins, flowers are mostly blue-purple or light red, with the extension of flowering, the color gradually fades, and finally becomes white. The florescence is from April to May and the fruiting period is from May to June. Petals 4, long ovate, with long claws, claws about 3-6mm, petal length about 1-2cm; stamens 6, filaments white, anthers yellow; calyx slender and tube-shaped, blue-purple in color, sepal length about 3mm. The fruit is cylindrical and 6-9cm long. The top of the pod has a slender beak. The fruit has four edges and contains a large number of small dark brown seeds. The seeds are ovate to oblong. When the fruit is ripe, it will crack naturally and the seeds will pop out.

Also more shade-resistant, used as ground cover, the covering effect is good, the chlorophyll is lush, a piece of green, make people like. It has strong adaptability and can grow from Northeast and North China to East and Central China. In case of heavy frost and snow in winter, although some leaves will be frozen, they can still sprout, blossom and bear fruit in early spring. It is not strict with the soil.

February orchid has strong vitality and strong adaptability to the northern environment, especially in winter, it has a strong ability of cold tolerance in northern winter. February orchid especially like the dark and humid growth environment for water, light requirements are not high, in the soil is suitable to grow in slightly alkaline soil. It is a kind of evergreen plant that is evergreen all the year round. It blossoms first in early spring and means to report spring. It is a very simple and lovely plant.

Planting method of February orchid 1. Planting method

Pueraria lobata is mainly propagated by seeds with strong regeneration ability, and the newly fallen seeds will germinate and grow new seedlings soon after withering: in the soil without ploughing, the artificially sown seeds can also grow seedlings and have a strong ability to resist weeds. Therefore, cultivation and management can be relatively extensive and easy. Some of the fresh seeds just harvested have the physiological phenomenon of post-ripening, the germination rate of early sowing is low, and the shade lasts for 1-2 months or even longer. The sowing time can be in summer or autumn, but August to September is the most suitable. There are 300 seeds per gram, and the sowing amount is about 1 kg per mu. If calculated according to each square meter, it should be 1: 2 grams per square meter. If spray seeding is adopted, it is best to increase the amount per unit area by 1020%.

2. Pot planting method

Mix the basin soil with garden soil, perlite and plant ash at 6:2:1, apply sufficient basic fertilizer when potting, and move the basin to a sunny place for routine fertilizer and water management.

3. Cultivation and management

Compared with other flowers, cultivation management is relatively extensive and does not need more maintenance. Cold tolerance, negative tolerance is strong, with a certain amount of scattered light, it can grow normally, blossom and bear fruit. It is not strict with the soil. It is best to choose sandy soil that is loose, fertile and well drained. As long as timely watering, fertilization, a little management can grow healthily. Fertilize 4 times a year. Flower bud fertilizer in early spring, strong fertilizer after flower fade, strong fruit fertilizer after fruit setting, strong seedling fertilizer before winter. If 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution is sprayed once at the flower bud stage and the young fruit stage, the flower color will be more beautiful and the fruit will be fuller. Florescence is from early spring to June. The pod is long-striped and ripe in June. Seeds dark brown, ovate. Zhuge cabbage has lush green leaves in winter and early spring flowers bloom. In case of heavy frost in winter, it is necessary to strengthen frost prevention measures. In order to eat, ramets should be carried out frequently to promote the germination of tender stems and leaves.

Matters needing attention in planting orchids in February

1. Soil: February orchid is not strict with soil. It is best to choose sandy soil that is loose, fertile and well drained. Potted February orchid has higher requirements for basin soil. Here, it can be considered to choose 6 parts of garden soil, 2 parts of perlite and 1 part of plant ash to mix evenly, and the base fertilizer in the basin should be enough.

2. Lighting: as February orchid is a short-day plant, daily sunshine does not need too long, indoor light can be illuminated by scattered light.

3. Temperature: due to the cold resistance of February orchid, the temperature control can be extensive, and the most suitable temperature for growth and flowering is between 15 and 25 degrees.

4. Fertilization: orchid likes fertilizer in February. Sufficient fertility will not only make February orchid grow faster, but also promote the flowering and fruiting of February orchid to fertilize four times a year. Flower bud fertilizer in early spring, strong fertilizer after flower fade, strong fruit fertilizer after fruit setting, strong seedling fertilizer before winter. If 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution is sprayed once at the flower bud stage and the young fruit stage, the flower color will be more beautiful and the fruit will be fuller.

5. Pruning: in order to maintain a good ornamental effect of the wildflower combination in the landscape layout, it must be controlled not to make it sturdy, and it is generally trimmed to the height of 10-15cm with a lawn mower during the fruiting period. In addition, when preparing land for autumn sowing, it is necessary to remove ground debris that hinder better contact between seeds and soil, including litter. At present, in the field of landscaping, it is the direction of future development to create natural and diverse landscapes, explore plant application forms that return to nature and return to nature, and build an economical and sustainable ecological environment. The combination of wild flowers can create a natural and beautiful landscape effect, and it has the characteristics of extensive management, rich species, wild interest, low cost and long viewing period, so it will become the most unique element in the field of landscaping and will be widely used.

Sowing points for attention: sowing time can be in summer or autumn, but August to September is the most suitable. There are 300 seeds per gram, and the sowing amount is about 1 kg per mu. If calculated according to each square meter, it should be 1: 2 grams per square meter. If spray seeding is adopted, it is best to increase the amount per unit area by 1020%.

6. Insect diseases: the common pests in February orchid planting are aphids, cabbage insects, snails, leaf miners and so on. If pests are found, drug control should be carried out in time.

Symptoms: in the early stage of the disease, yellow-green, polygonal spots appear on the leaf surface. Subsequently, a white downy mildew layer is produced on the back of the spot, causing swelling, bending and green petals on the stems and flowers.

B, pathogen: the pathogen is a fungus of downy mildew. The disease mostly occurred on the lower leaves of Orchid in February. Especially in April, the weather is cold and humid, and the plant is more susceptible to disease. Planting too densely can also lead to the disease.

C, diagnosis and countermeasures: select ventilated and transparent areas for planting. The planting density is reasonable. Spray 50% Phytophthora 500 times.

7. Weed management

Watering before sowing promotes the germination of weed seeds in the topsoil layer, which can germinate within two weeks if the soil moisture is moderate. Do not plough the soil again, or you will bring more weed seeds to the topsoil. Herbicide spraying can basically eradicate weeds, but be sure to rest for a period of time before sowing, because herbicides have a killing effect on any plant.

When using chemical herbicides, we must pay attention to safety and avoid chemical residues affecting the germination and growth of flower seeds, so the seeds of general wild flower combinations should be reserved for 3-4 weeks of recovery period in the soil before sowing, and then plant wild flower combinations, because the widespread use of herbicides may lead to the delay of seed germination or the weakening of flower seedling growth.

Remove weeds in time during flower seed germination so as not to spread. If conditions permit, weeds should be pulled up as soon as they are found. In addition, a more effective way is to use broad-spectrum herbicide or cut it off with a lawnmower (or irrigation cutter). Be sure to get rid of the weeds before they drop their seeds. Many annual or perennial weeds can be controlled with professional herbicides. These herbicides do not affect the growth and development of broad-leaved plants and can be used in wild flower combinations. They can be sprayed very well on new seedlings.
