Culture methods and matters needing attention of Cymbidium

Selection of cultivation substrate and pot

It is appropriate to choose a long barrel-shaped basin with porous bottom and four walls, and the cultivation substrate should choose bark blocks or fern roots with good air permeability and water permeability, and charcoal, ceramsite and other things should be added in the lower part of the basin to facilitate drainage.

Fertilization and watering

It is not suitable to water immediately after ramet planting. If it is found to be dry, water can be sprayed on the leaf surface and basin surface to prevent the leaves from drying up, falling off and pseudo-bulbs from shrinking. It can be watered after the new buds and roots grow. Watering in cultivation should depend on the weather and vibration. It depends on the wet and dry conditions. The ministry should be provided with sufficient water during the vigorous growth period and watered in time in the dry and hot seasons. When the temperature is low in winter, the watering times can be reduced. The ph for watering should be 6. 5. Cymbidium prefers fertilizer. After sprouting in spring, compound fertilizer with a concentration of 0.1% Mel 0.2% nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once a week. Or rotten thin cake fat and water. In the bud period, the available phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be applied in advance.

Culture method

1. Soil

In order to cultivate Cymbidium, the choice of soil is very important. It likes loose, breathable and well-drained soil. It can usually use rotten leaf soil to grow Cymbidium, and it can also use moss charcoal shavings and bark blocks to prepare basin soil. It can not use ordinary culture soil, because their ventilation and drainage are relatively poor, after planting will lead to the root rot of Cymbidium.

2. Moisture

Cultivation of Cymbidium can only be properly watered to make it grow normally. Cymbidium, a plant that likes high temperature and high humidity, should give sufficient water to its roots in spring, summer and autumn, and spray water to the leaves in time. However, after flowering in early spring, Cymbidium will enter a short dormant period, which is necessary to reduce the water supply and wait for the new buds to grow larger before they can be watered more.

3. Sunshine

Cymbidium is a sunny plant, it likes to grow in a sunny environment, but it can not accept strong light, it is best to put it in an environment with plenty of scattered light, but after entering the flowering period, Cymbidium should be placed in a place with weak light, so that its flowers can be more beautiful.

Matters needing attention

During the cultivation of Cymbidium, we must pay attention to the prevention of diseases and insect pests, leaf spot disease, gray mold and other diseases should be timely sprayed carbendazim, after the occurrence of insect pests should be caught in time, or spray drugs. In addition, when cultivating Cymbidium, we should also pay attention to pruning. Its pseudobulbs generally contain more than four leaf buds, so that their nutritional molecules must be removed completely.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Cymbidium

Brief introduction:

Cymbidium, also known as Simbilan and cicada orchid. Orchidaceae, Orchid plants. They are some epiphytic large flower species and artificial hybrids of Cymbidium native to India, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and southern China. Cymbidium is a general term for the varieties of Cymbidium which are cultivated by artificial hybridization with bright color and large flowers. There are about 48 species of Cymbidium. At present, there are nearly 20 original species used as hybrid parents, mainly epiphytes with large flowers and a small number of terrestrial species.

How to raise Cymbidium

Cymbidium is not a species of natural products, but produced by artificial hybridization. it first appeared in the United Kingdom in 1889, and then spread to Europe and the United States and other places, swept the foreign flower market. At present, Cymbidium has become the most quality category of orchids, with nearly 20000 cultivated varieties.

The tissue culture period of Cymbidium is longer, which is about 3 years. When the tissue culture seedling carries on the flower bud differentiation, it means that it has entered the growth period, that is, the normal flowering and growth. In the stage of reproductive growth, the lateral buds of the guardrail gradually develop into flower buds, and then the scape is produced. Generally speaking, the formation of flower buds is on the pseudobulbs formed by new buds, and basically each pseudobulb can form 1-2 flower buds.

After the formation of the flower bud, in order to make it blossom normally and the flower branches are beautiful, it is necessary to control the temperature around it. If the temperature is outside its normal growth range, it will cause its elongation and growth to be inhibited, which is not conducive to its normal flowering. The optimum temperature range for the growth of Cymbidium is 10-25 ℃, and the temperature should be controlled at night. It should not be too cold, and it should be about 10 ℃. Especially during the flowering period, the temperature should be strictly controlled. If you need to interfere with its flowering period to make it bloom longer, you can also maintain the temperature at 5-15 degrees Celsius during flowering, which can extend the flowering period for a quarter.

Culture methods of Cymbidium:

Propagation methods of Cymbidium:

The propagation of Cymbidium is usually propagated by ramets, which is not only simple, but also has a high success rate. The ramet of Cymbidium is best carried out during the dormancy period after flowering, when the flower does not need too much nutrients and the new bud has not yet grown, so it is more suitable for ramet. Cymbidium needs to take several steps before dividing its plants. the first step is to dry it properly for a period of time to make its roots white and soft. Then the orchid seedlings with 2-3 false phosphorus stems are cut and the cutting wound can be smeared with sulfur powder or carbon powder to prevent its infection. After intercepting, let it dry for 1-2 days and then pot, it can grow into a new plant. Generally speaking, robust plants can be divided only once every 2-3 years, not too frequently. New plants can't be watered immediately, but they can spray water on the leaves to prevent them from drying up and falling off.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Cymbidium

Cymbidium first bright light and refreshing and humid environment, in indoor breeding, we should pay attention to its temperature control and maintenance. The main points for attention in the culture of Cymbidium are as follows.

1. Fertilization: the fertilizer content in the growing period and catalytic period of Cymbidium is different, so it can not be generalized. In the growing period, it is necessary to apply a mixture of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, while in the catalytic period, it is necessary to appropriately increase the content of phosphorus and potassium, usually at 1:2:2. Fertilizers should also be strictly controlled by PH, which is usually between 5.8and 6.2mm. If the object of fertilization is small seedlings, its fertilizer concentration should be controlled at 3500 to 4000 times, while for medium and large seedlings, it should be reduced to about 2000-3500 times. In addition to summer, it is generally every three days to apply fertilizer, high temperature in summer, keep 1-2 times a month.

two。 Organic fertilizer: if the plant is in the tissue culture period, it should be applied once a month, which is composed of bean cake and bone meal at the ratio of 2:1 during the growing period.

3. Watering: watering and fertilization are generally used alternately, usually once a day in May and September. The high temperature in summer is twice a day from July to August. After entering the autumn, the flowering period can be watered every 2-3 days.

The flowering period of Huilan:

The florescence of Cymbidium is usually from October to April of the following year, which is its natural florescence. However, in order to achieve the long-term effect of blooming, many people now choose to use manual intervention in flowering. Strict management and maintenance is needed between the flowering stages of Cymbidium.

For example, light, to often turn the pot, so that the leaves of the plant can be evenly illuminated, will not produce the phenomenon of crooked. During its flowering period, attention should be paid to avoid being exposed to light for a long time, to prevent the color distortion of its flowers, and to prolong the florescence.

During the flowering period of Cymbidium, it is very sensitive to moisture, so it is difficult to control humidity. If it is too dry, it will cause the rhizome to shrink and the flowers will not grow normally. On the contrary, its root will also cause anoxic decay because of who divides too much, which is easy to cause diseases and insect pests. During its flowering period, it is necessary to give priority to wetting and strictly control moisture, preferably in the form of spray to ensure the moist and clean leaves, but to be careful not to spray on the flowers, but only on the leaves.

During the flowering period, it has a high demand for nutrition, especially phosphorus, potassium and other elements, which are most needed for flowering. Therefore, fertilizers should be replenished regularly. Generally, 0.1% 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution can be applied every month. In order to prevent the excessive dispersion of nutrients, it is also necessary to cut flowers and trim some residual flowers to promote the growth of other normal flowers and avoid the consumption of nutrients.

Cymbidium flowers:

The nickname of Cymbidium is Cymbidium, which has different nicknames in different countries. For example, in Japan, it is called "East Aram" and in Europe and America it is called "New Beauty Orchid". The flower posture of Cymbidium is rough and unrestrained, which has both the elegance of national orchid and the beauty of foreign orchid. Its flower language is rich and peaceful, noble and graceful.

Price of Cymbidium:

The price of Cymbidium varies from year to year according to the market. Generally speaking, during the holidays, the price of the flowers will rise accordingly. It also needs to be divided according to its quality. generally speaking, the wholesale price of the best Cymbidium with more than 4 arrows is 150-200 per pot. And in florist shops all over the country, it will go up a little bit. The mid-range of 3-4 arrows is about 100-150, and the price of Cymbidium is less than 100 yuan.
