Cultivation methods, pot cultivation methods and maintenance management of multi-flower fingernail orchid

Multi-flower nail orchid should be planted in a well-ventilated environment, like shade, avoid direct sunlight, moist, dry, suitable for the use of sandy loam rich in humus. The following editor brings you a detailed introduction of the breeding methods and related knowledge of multi-flower fingernail orchid.

Introduction of multi-flower fingernail orchid

(scientific name: Aerides rosea Lodd.) Ex Lindl. Et Paxt.): the stem is stout, more than 5-20 cm long, and the leaf sheath is 2.5 cm thick. Leaves fleshy, narrowly oblong or banded, apex obtuse and not equilateral 2-lobed. Inflorescence leaves axillary, often 1-3, unbranched, longer than leaves; inflorescence rachis longer, ca. 1 petal similar to middle sepal; labellum 3-lobed; lateral lobes small, erect, auriculate, lower margin densely papillate, anterior dark purple; above densely covered with fuchsia spots, margin slightly irregularly serrate. Capsule subovate. Flowering in July and fruiting in August to May of the following year.

Phyllostachys polyphylla is born on the tree trunk of the mountain forest margin or sparse evergreen broad-leaved forest at an altitude of 320-1530 meters above sea level. Distributed in China, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam.

Culture method of multi-flower fingernail orchid

1. Pot planting method

The mud basin is filled with broken tiles, and the purple sand basin must be covered with perforated nylon gauze. Before planting, cover the basin with coarse stones, accounting for about 2 to 5 percent of the basin depth, rough stone culture soil, 3-5 centimeters thick, and then put in bluegrass. After preparing the orchid pot and plant material, put the orchid plant upside down (root on the top, leaf on the bottom) under the faucet and rinse with slow water, but the water pressure must not be too strong, so as not to hurt the orchid root and leaf. Grasp the orchid head with your thumb and index finger, hold the little finger against the edge of the basin, and fix the root with bamboo chopsticks. When you put it into the basin, try not to let the root touch the basin wall. When putting on the basin, pay attention to the root to self-expand, not curl.

Pour the pea-sized mixed gravel into the bottom of the basin to 1/3. Then pour in the medium-grain plant to four-fifths, fill it and try not to leave any space. When planting, hold the bluegrass in the left hand and add mud in the right hand (to prevent the soil from penetrating into the center of the leaves), and then lift the orchid plant slightly to make the roots stretch naturally. Then shake the basin while adding soil so that the soil is in close contact with the root. Then use your hands to press the soil around the stem, and finally make the basin slightly steamed bread (that is, slightly lower around the middle). Pull out the bamboo chopsticks and plant the material in a solid bowl. After filling the plant material, use large grain plant material to 1.5 cm away from the edge of the basin. Finally, pour the bean seed into the large plant, bury all the false bulbs in the soil, and then shake them fully. Gently press the plant with earth pressing tools and flatten the surface.

II. Maintenance and management

After the cultivation of multi-flower fingernail orchid, it is better to plant a little higher in the middle of the basin. After putting on the basin, water it immediately. There should be enough water for the first time. Finally, put the orchid bowl in the shade. Should not directly bask in the sun within a month, and control watering, should not be too wet, and then choose to place in the half-yin and half-yang, ventilated and breathable place where the sun is shining in the morning.

Watering in the peak period of orchid growth, once the lack of water in summer, the orchid growth is poor, orchids need eight points dry, two minutes wet. Watering should be in line with the principle of "dry is poured, wet is stopped, and properly dry". The water must be thoroughly watered, not half of it. Fertilization should be applied sparsely, eat less and eat more. Orchids do not need much fertilizer during the growing period. For strong orchid plants, dilute liquid fertilizer can be applied every 10-15 days. Mainly natural organic matter.

Ecological habits of Phyllostachys pubescens

Multi-flower nail orchid should be planted in a well-ventilated environment. Sex likes yin, avoid direct sunlight, like moist, avoid dryness, 15 ℃ to 30 ℃ is the most suitable for growth. The growth was poor above 35 ℃. The severe cold below 5 ℃ will affect its growth, at this time, orchids are often in a dormant state. If the temperature is too high and the sun is exposed, the leaves will burn or scorch within a day or two. If the temperature is too low and it is not transferred into the house in time, frostbite will occur.

Multi-flower fingernail orchid is a fleshy root, suitable for the use of sandy loam rich in humus, drainage performance must be good, humus leaf soil or mountain soil with more humus should be selected. The pH value of slightly acidic loose soil or iron-containing soil should be 5.5-6.5.

The function and use of multi-flower nail orchid

1. Ornamental value

Multi-flower fingernail orchid as an orchid plant, not to mention its other functions, just this looks unique, with a unique ornamental. Like many orchids, fingernails are purple as a whole. But the color on the flower branches is white, with purple spots, embellished with each other, it is quite interesting. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, although it does not conform to the appearance of peony roses, multi-flower fingernail orchid is still standing Ting, burning posture is eye-catching.

2. Decorative function

Multi-flower fingernail orchid has no toxic side effects, coupled with the appearance of Qingli, so it is very suitable for indoor pot planting. As long as it is a kind of plant, for the air can be more or less purified by photosynthesis, multi-flower nail orchid is rare, so you can see the ingenuity of the owner, but it is the most appropriate to be used as a family thing. It can bring the life of nature to the whole family and make life full of leisure.

3. Growth habits

Orchids generally grow on the hillside and valley walls of deep mountain valleys, sloping slopes or stone gaps with good water permeability and water retention, next to sparse mountain grass, and shaded by secondary trees.
