Propagation methods of Phalaenopsis

Pedicel budding and reproduction

First cut off the post-flowering part of the pedicel, and then carefully use a blade to remove the bracts of the first to third internodes at the upper end of the pedicel to expose the bud points in the internodes.

Apply hormones such as sprouting agent or indolebutyric acid evenly with cotton swabs on the exposed Internode bud points.

After smearing, put the plant in a semi-shaded place and maintain the cultivation temperature of 25-28 ℃. Generally, the buds can grow leaves after 2-3 weeks, and grow into Phalaenopsis seedlings with 3-4 leaves and aerial roots after 3 months.

Finally, the seedlings are cut off and treated in the pot, and a new plant can be obtained.

Broken heart to accelerate budding and reproduction

First remove the heart leaf with the highest position at the top of the stem, and pay attention to destroying the growth point on the stem tip so that it can no longer grow upward.

After the wound is dried, it can be sterilized and sterilized with fungicides. After a period of time, 2-3 new buds can sprout on the stem nodes near the base.

When the new bud grows and the base grows out of the root, it can be cut off and planted, and a new plant can be obtained.

Stem-cutting breeding method

The principle of stem cutting and reproduction is similar to that of the second method, which also induces the growth of latent buds by destroying the growth point of stem tip.

After the plant grows until the stem node is longer, cut off the upper part of the plant with roots with sterilized blades or scissors and transplant it into a new basin to continue to grow. It is necessary to give an appropriate amount of water to the part with roots at the lower end. It will soon be able to sprout 1-3 new buds (the number is related to the characters and management methods of the plant).

If the stem of a plant is longer, it can be divided into several segments, each with 2-3 internodes, or a segment with more than 2-3 cm and more than one root, which may develop into a new plant.

If the roots of the plant have withered, this method will not work.

Methods of Phalaenopsis culture and treatment of common problems in Phalaenopsis culture

Phalaenopsis was born in the tropical rain forest, the nature likes to be warm and afraid of cold. The suitable temperature for growth is 15-20 ℃, and it will stop growing when it is below 10 ℃ in winter, and it is easy to die when it is below 5 ℃. Phalaenopsis, which is native to tropical Malaysia, belongs to the genus Phalaenopsis of Orchidaceae and is a perennial herb. The forest trees along the shores of hot and humid rivers are the places where Phalaenopsis grows. Phalaenopsis can protect itself from stress in low humidity because of its physiological structure, but in too humid environment, high temperature and high humidity are often accompanied by diseases. The most suitable range of relative humidity is 60%~80%RH.

Culture methods of Phalaenopsis:

1. Soil: pine needles, peanut shells, bark silk, clay balls and other materials can be selected as the substrate for breeding Phalaenopsis. Phalaenopsis has higher requirements for soil, which needs air permeability, decay resistance, micro-acid and water permeability. If you can't configure these materials, you can buy orchid for Phalaenopsis directly at the flower market. Phalaenopsis likes the breathable growth environment, it is recommended to choose a porous shallow basin, the basin height is less than the basin diameter is the best.

2. Temperature: the culture temperature of Phalaenopsis cultivated indoors is fastidious, and the suitable temperature for growth is between 15 and 20 degrees. Phalaenopsis is produced in the subtropics, when the temperature is low, the growth of Phalaenopsis will be resisted, when the temperature is 10 degrees, the growth of Phalaenopsis is directly stagnant. It is easy to die when it is less than 5 degrees. The winter weather in the north is relatively cold, and the indoor temperature is low, so you can turn on the heater. when the indoor temperature is below 10 degrees, you should take special care of Phalaenopsis. Put Phalaenopsis in the sunny place during the day to reduce the number of watering. Or by sprinkling water on the ground. It needs to be kept warm at night and bagged with orchid plants. When using heating equipment to heat orchid plants, we must be careful not to let the radiator get too close to the flowers.

3. Watering: high humidity is suitable for the growth of Phalaenopsis. Avoid making Phalaenopsis in a state of lack of water, especially during the growth period of Phalaenopsis. Once the frequent occurrence of water shortage will cause the leaves yellowing, and it is difficult to recover. Usually Phalaenopsis can be watered with a spray can. Water can flow down to the bottom of the basin to avoid watering too much water. But you must be careful not to let water accumulate in the heart of the orchid leaf. You can't sprinkle water on the leaves in winter.

4. Ventilation: Phalaenopsis is delicate, so choosing a ventilated environment will be more conducive to its growth. The muggy environment is not suitable for breeding Phalaenopsis, especially in summer in the south, pay attention to shading Phalaenopsis. Phalaenopsis is an epiphytic orchid with a sexual preference for semi-yin. The temperature is low in winter, so it should be ventilated at noon, but the tuyere should not be blown directly to the orchid plant. In spring and autumn, we should pay attention to protect orchids from light.

5. Fertilization: Phalaenopsis planted for one year or many years will change pots every year in late spring and early summer (May). Phalaenopsis that has just changed pots is in the recovery stage, so there is no need to fertilize the orchid plants. After a month of recovery, the orchid plant began to grow normally. That is to say, from June to September, the orchid plant enters the growth period and needs to be fertilized once a week. Suitable fertilizers for Phalaenopsis: foliar fertilizer, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, farm fertilizer fermented with water, special fertilizer for orchids, etc. During the growing period, Phalaenopsis can be fertilized alternately with foliar fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. If there are no these two kinds of fertilizer, you can choose to add water to ferment farm manure to irrigate fertilizer water. If there is special fertilizer for orchids at home, the special fertilizer for orchids should be applied directly.

6. Flowering maintenance of Phalaenopsis: during the 4-month florescence of Phalaenopsis indoors, keep indoor ventilation and temperature and control the temperature between 15 and 18 degrees. The flowering period is around the Spring Festival, and proper cooling can prolong the viewing time. The night temperature during flowering should be controlled between 13 ℃-16 ℃, but not less than 13 ℃. What should be paid attention to during flowering is gray spot, mainly due to not paying attention to the water droplets on the petals, or other diseases, which hinder the ornamental value of the flowers. Therefore, do not spray fat water on the petals.

Points for attention in Phalaenopsis culture:

1. In order to avoid the root rot of Phalaenopsis, do not pour too much water. It is best to check whether the cultivation medium is dry before watering.

two。 Temperature will affect the flowering of Phalaenopsis. Phalaenopsis blossoms mostly in early spring. The temperature at night is relatively low, which will affect the growth of orchids. So not blooming is sometimes caused by the same reason.

3. Family breeding of Phalaenopsis avoids excessive fertilization, and orchid plants are fertilized many times in a small amount.

4. Be sure to choose a breathable porous basin for planting.

Let's plant Phalaenopsis flowers together and exchange Phalaenopsis culture methods with flower friends.

The function of hanging orchid:

Phalaenopsis is native to the humid areas of Asia and gets its name because its flowers look like butterflies. Phalaenopsis has short stems, thick leaves, green leaves generally crawl on the flowerpot, bloom in spring, pedicels pull out from the leaves, dozens of centimeters long, flowers proudly independent, florescence as long as 60-70 days, known as "queen of flowers".

Culture of Phalaenopsis:

Phalaenopsis growth temperature should be 15-34 degrees, like high temperature, high humidity, ventilated environment. The growth stage is 26: 27 ℃ and the flowering stage is 19: 21 ℃. Direct sunlight is avoided in summer. Attention should be paid to keeping warm in winter. Phalaenopsis likes moist but afraid of waterlogging, so it should choose sandy soil with good drainage, watering once in the morning and afternoon in summer, watering less in other seasons, and watering once a week in winter. Spray the leaves when the air is dry, not on the flowers. Phalaenopsis needs to be fertilized all the year round. Phalaenopsis special nutrient solution can be used, and the flower stem needs to be cut off after flowering. / p >

The display of Phalaenopsis in the Center of Home

When Phalaenopsis blossoms, it is noble and generous, especially suitable for decorating well-lit rooms in conspicuous positions in the home, such as flower racks in the living room, bookcases, dining tables and so on. Phalaenopsis is a plant that metabolizes sedum acid and absorbs carbon dioxide at night.
