How to propagate onion orchid? propagation method / sowing propagation / ramet propagation of onion orchid

Onion orchid is a plant native to South America, which was introduced to China. Now there are people raising it in many parts of our country. As more and more people breed it, how to reproduce onion orchid has become a relative problem among people. What are the breeding methods of onion orchid? Next, the editor will take you to learn about it.

First, how to reproduce onion orchids

On how to reproduce onion orchid, in fact, it can be roughly divided into two propagation methods: sowing and ramet, and the survival rate is quite high, but the premise is that the method is correct. Below, there is a detailed explanation of the reproduction method of onion orchid, which can be understood by interested friends.

2.Propagation methods of onion orchid

Sowing and reproduction

1. Seed harvesting

After the green onion orchid blossoms, the seeds will mature in about 15-20 days, at this time we can harvest them, and soak the seeds in water for 3-5 days after harvest.

two。 Soil selection

In the breeding method of onion orchid, the choice of soil is a very important part, in this respect, we can choose more loose humus soil, this kind of soil has better drainage, can make onion orchid better absorb nutrients.

3. Sowing method

In the selection of soil and seeds, we can sow, onion orchid seeds are relatively small, so when sowing we need to sow seeds and fine sand mixed sowing, after sowing we need to cover the soil above 2cm, and then a water on it, generally 15 days or so can be germinated, and then follow-up maintenance.

Ramet propagation

1. Ramet method

In the propagation method of onion orchid, split propagation is a more commonly used one. First of all, we need to dig out the mother plant from the basin soil, and then separate the root system with scissors, and each plant that does not come out has to have a root system. We have to remember this, and then we can plant it.

two。 Planting method

After the split is good, we can plant the ramet directly in the selected soil and pour water through it. the choice of the soil is the same as above, and then we can sprout new roots after about 3-4 weeks, and then we can carry out normal conservation. Conservation methods you can refer to the culture methods of onion orchid, here the editor will not introduce too much.

How do onion orchids propagate separately and how to sow and reproduce?

Onion orchid, Latin name: (Zephyranthes candida), perennial herb, bulb ovate, about 2.5cm in diameter, with a conspicuous neck, neck length 2.5-5cm. Leaves narrowly linear, fleshy, bright green, 20-30 cm long and 2-4 mm wide. Native to South America and the western Indian Ocean Islands, it is now planted all over China. It likes plenty of sunshine and is resistant to semi-shade. It is often used as an edge material for flower beds, and it is also suitable for green space cluster planting. It is most suitable to be used as a ground cover plant in the lower half-shade of the forest, or planted beside a courtyard path. It has the effect of reducing swelling and dispersing blood stasis.

Propagation technique of green onion orchid

Ramet time

After the soil was thawed in early spring (February and March).

Ramet method

Take the mother plant out of the flowerpot, shake off the excess potted soil, separate the root system as much as possible, and cut it into two or more plants with a sharp knife, each with a considerable root system. and its leaves are properly trimmed to facilitate survival.

Disinfection in pots

Soak the split plant in 1500 times chlorothalonil solution for five minutes, then take out the cold dry, and then serve. You can also irrigate the root with chlorothalonil immediately after potting. Put the ramet into the basin and irrigate the root or water once. Because its root system is greatly damaged and its water absorption capacity is very weak, it takes about 3-4 weeks to recover new roots. Therefore, it is necessary to control watering within 3-4 weeks after ramet to avoid rotting roots, but the transpiration of its leaves is not affected. In order to maintain the water balance of the leaves, it is necessary to spray the leaf surface 1-3 times a day (spray more at high temperature, less spray at low temperature or no spray at low temperature). Don't fertilize it these days. After the split, but also pay attention to the sun is too strong, it is best to put in the shade to maintain.

Sowing and propagation techniques of onion orchid

Sowing time

Sowing method

The seeds of onion orchids mature about 20 days later and should be harvested in time, because it is the rainy season at that time, and it is very easy for seeds to germinate on the plant. Because it is afraid of heat during the whole growing period, and the optimum temperature for sowing is 15-20 ℃, autumn sowing is often carried out after the middle and last ten days of September.

Matrix disinfection

The best way to disinfect the sowing substrate is to stir-fry it in a pan, which can kill most diseases and insects.

Temperature management

Like warm climate, but summer high temperature, muggy (more than 35 ℃, air relative humidity more than 80%) environment is not conducive to its growth; the winter temperature is very strict, when the ambient temperature is below 10 ℃, it can not safely survive the winter when the frost occurs.

Pest control

Green onion orchid is mainly damaged by insect pests, such as onion orchid night moth, mainly harmful to onion orchid, red red, Lycoris and other plants, is a secondary pest. When Spodoptera litura is serious, it can eat up all the aboveground stems of onion orchid. Although the stems and leaves of onion orchid were eaten by the insect, the aboveground part could still germinate and grow, without causing the death of onion orchid, but its growth potential was obviously weakened.

Prevention and cure method

Turn the ground in winter or early spring, dig out the overwintering pupae and reduce the population number; when the larvae occur, spray 1500 times of rice, 1500 times of Lesbon or 800times of phoxim EC, and choose to spray when the larvae come out in the morning or evening. The control effect is better.

Through the detailed introduction of this article, I hope you can gain something! Thank you for your support and attention to the succulent flower bed!

There are generally two propagation methods of onion orchid, the sowing method and the plant division method, and the plant division method is more commonly used. The seeds of onion orchids mature about 20 days later and should be harvested in time, because it is the rainy season at that time. It is very easy for seeds to germinate on the plant. Because it is afraid of heat during the whole growing period, and the optimum temperature for sowing is 15-20 ℃, autumn sowing is often carried out after the middle and last ten days of September. [ramet time]: after the soil was thawed in early spring (February and March). [ramet method]: take the mother plant out of the flowerpot, shake off the excess potted soil, separate the root system as much as possible, and cut it into two or more plants with a sharp knife. Each plant should have a considerable root system, and its leaves should be pruned properly to facilitate survival. [disinfection in a basin]: soak the divided plants in 1500 times chlorothalonil solution for five minutes, then take out cold and dry, and then put on the basin. You can also irrigate the root with chlorothalonil immediately after potting. [post-ramet management]: after filling the pot, the ramets were irrigated with roots or watered once. Because its root system is greatly damaged and its water absorption capacity is very weak, it takes about 3-4 weeks to recover new roots. Therefore, it is necessary to control watering within 3-4 weeks after ramet to avoid rotting roots, but the transpiration of its leaves is not affected. In order to maintain the water balance of leaves, it is necessary to spray the leaf surface one or three times a day (more spraying at high temperature, less spraying at low temperature or no spraying at low temperature). Don't fertilize it these days. After the split, but also pay attention to the sun is too strong, it is best to put in the shade to maintain. [pot or transplant]: first put a thick substrate of 2cm thick as a filter layer at the bottom of the basin, and then put in the plant.
