The culture method of perfume Oncidium, learn five skills to make its flowering time longer.

The perfume Oncidium belongs to Orchidaceae and Oncidium. It is native to Central and South America. It is very popular because it has good branching, elegant flowers and bright colors. It has been planted in Zhejiang and other places in China. Because the color of lips has become the most popular plant of Oncidium in recent years, what is the culture method of Oncidium? Let's get to know it.

Culture method of Oncidium perfume

The perfume Oncidium prefers the warm and humid climate, and it is more adaptable to the strong light environment than the ordinary Oncidium varieties. At the same time, it has strong drought tolerance and can be watered thoroughly and rewatered. Because of its pseudobulbs, ramets are usually used in reproduction. In addition, it has general requirements with soil and fertilizer.

1. Soil: many flower friends say that Oncidium perfume is only suitable for planting in the south, but in fact, if it is given a suitable environment according to its habits, it can also be reflowered in the north, in which the soil should be mainly pure water moss. Can be in the inside if some sawdust, charcoal wood to improve air permeability.

2. Temperature: usually, the temperature should be kept above 13 degrees to allow it to grow normally, so it is best to keep it warm in winter, it is best to put it in an environment with a temperature of 15-25 degrees, so that it can achieve the best state of growth. it can also avoid a lot of breeding problems.

3. Lighting: in the breeding method of the perfume Oncidium, its biggest difference is that it can adapt to sunlight, but it still needs proper shading in summer, so outside of winter, it is best to guard against the balcony near the north at other times. You can see some sunshine, but it won't let the light be too strong.

4. Watering: the perfume Oncidium has strong drought tolerance, so watering can wait until the soil is dry before watering, but we must pay more attention to observation. If the soil is dry and not watered for too long, it will cause the plant to yellowing due to lack of water, so try to avoid this situation.

5. Fertilization: we know that the roots of Oncidium are relatively weak, so thick fertilizer can not be applied, some compound fertilizer can be sprinkled around the soil for 2-3 weeks, and some water containing phosphate fertilizer can be applied before flowering. In principle, thin fertilizer is applied frequently.

Matters needing attention in raising perfume Oncidium

1. Refuse to be exposed to the sun: in a strong light environment, the perfume Oncidium has a certain ability to adapt, but it must not be exposed to the sun all day in summer, otherwise most plants are unbearable, light will cause the plant to appear gray, and even infected with anthrax.

2. Flowering maintenance: the flowering time of Oncidium is relatively short, but we can also use some techniques to prolong its flowering period as far as possible, such as when blooming, put it at a temperature of about 25 degrees, where scattered light can be seen, and then appropriate watering, you can watch the flower for as long as a month.

3. Propagation skills: the reproduction method of Oncidium is mainly based on ramets, cutting off its daughter plants with false bulbs, and then replanting them in the matrix dominated by water moss to ensure high air humidity. After a period of time, it can sprout new buds and roots.

The Culture method of Oncidium the florescence of Oncidium

Oncidium, also known as Oncidium, Dance Orchid, Cymbidium and Golden Phalaenopsis, is a subfamily of Orchidaceae. Today, we will introduce the breeding methods and florescence of Oncidium.

Culture methods of Oncidium:

1, soil quality: Oncidium is suitable for growing in ventilated and drained soil, usually made of fern root, charcoal, moss, pozzolanic ash, broken bricks, bark and other materials, and can be mixed with fine fern root, peat soil, charcoal, vermiculite (perlite), broken bricks (broken stones) according to 4Rule, 1V1V1V1V1, and had better be added to the bottom of the basin by adding 1R3 broken stone (broken bricks) to facilitate drainage and ventilation.

2. Temperature: the suitable growth temperature is 12: 33 ℃, thick-leaf varieties prefer temperature, the optimum temperature is 18-25 ℃, thin-leaf varieties like cold and cool, the best temperature is 10-22 ℃. Plants stop photosynthesis below 12, the winter temperature should not be lower than 10 ℃, if the temperature exceeds 6 to 8 hours, it will die and die low, and the summer temperature exceeding 33 ℃ is also not conducive to growth. The flowering time can be increased by lowering the temperature as appropriate.

3. Sunshine: Oncidium can not accept direct sunlight except winter. It needs to cover 40-50% of the shade in summer so as not to delay growth, or even die of sunburn. The sun is relatively less strong in spring and autumn, which can cover 30% of the shade. Pay attention to the control of shading range, too much will make the plant underexposed to light, thus affecting flower bud differentiation, development and flowering.

4, moisture: like the humid environment, the growing period should not only water the basin soil early and late, but also spray water to the leaves and the ground to strengthen the moisture in the air and promote the growth of flower stems. There is no need to water at low temperatures in winter. Of course, there are great differences in the demand for water among different varieties, such as Oncidium without false bulbs, which is not tolerant to drought and is often watered as soon as it is dry.

5. Ventilation: all Oncidium need to be ventilated, especially the strains with false corms and thin leaves, which are too stuffy and prone to diseases. In the hot summer, it is not only necessary to water and spray water to the plant and the surrounding environment, but also to strengthen ventilation to facilitate cooling.

6. Fertilizer: fertilization should be carried out according to the variety and growth stage. A little slow-release fertilizer can be used for base fertilizer, and 1500-2000 times liquid water-soluble quick-acting fertilizer can be applied every 2-3 weeks, or solid fertilizer can be applied. The compound fertilizer of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus can be applied evenly outside the flowering stage, and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be supplemented to facilitate flower bud differentiation and flowering when the flowering stage is approaching. Stop fertilizing when you see the flower stem or when the temperature is below 10 ℃, and fertilize again after flowering.

7. Diseases and insect pests: Oncidium generally has shell insects, snails, whitefly and other pests, especially in the rainy season, snails frequently go out and can regularly sprinkle lime powder around, shell pests can be sprayed 800 to 1000 times liquid speed to kill or scale Ling, 3000 times liquid speed aphid aphid or aphid lice can kill whitefly. The main yellow leaf disease, try to keep hygienic, pesticide spray thoroughly, leaf back, corner and ground all should be sprayed, greenhouse disinfection once a month.

The florescence of Oncidium:

Oncidium is very beautiful, so do you know when it will blossom? When will we be able to see the blooming Oncidium to decorate our interior space? Due to the great differences in the characters of varieties, there are also great differences in the methods of cultivation and management. its flowering period is not fixed and can bloom as long as the plant is mature.

Oncidium is the general name of Oncidium in Orchidaceae. There are more than 750 native species in the world, and most of the commercial varieties used in commerce are hybrids. Its distribution area is wide, including tropical zone, warm zone, alpine temperate zone and cold zone. Therefore, the growth and florescence of Oncidium are different.

More information on the culture methods of Oncidium 1. Soil

Oncidium needs rich and breathable soil, which can be covered with a layer of broken tiles at the bottom of the flowerpot before planting. The soil is often mixed with bark, fern root, water moss, charcoal and so on.

two。 Light

Oncidium likes semi-shady environment, the light should not be too strong or too weak, otherwise it will affect flowering, summer need shade to avoid burns, winter can receive light all day.

3. Temperature

The suitable temperature for growth of Oncidium varieties is different, the suitable temperature for thick-leaf varieties is 18-25 ℃, which can not be lower than 12 ℃, and the suitable temperature for thin-leaf varieties is 10-22 ℃, the lowest temperature can not be lower than 8 ℃.

4. Watering

Oncidium prefers to be dry, as long as the soil surface is slightly dry, but there can be no stagnant water, the amount of water and frequency should be reduced in winter, and the temperature of water should not be too low.

5. Fertilizer application

Because Wenxin applies organic fertilizer every half a month in spring and autumn, it can water roots or leaves. There is no need to apply fertilizer because of the low temperature in winter.
