Three traps should be avoided in purchasing Phalaenopsis seedlings.

Now it is the@#@136@#@season for Phalaenopsis seedlings. According to China's consumption habits, the sales peak of Phalaenopsis finished flowers is concentrated on the eve of Spring Festival. Therefore, the Phalaenopsis seedlings purchased by the manufacturer at this time are basically 2.5-inch medium seedlings, that is to say, according to the normal growth cycle of Phalaenopsis, the seedlings of this specification can just catch up with the flowering before the Spring Festival next year.

However, many manufacturers have experienced such embarrassment, they obviously bought 2.5-inch seedlings, but can not bloom as scheduled, suspected that there is a problem with the seedlings, but the seedling supplier said that there is a problem with the manufacturer in the production process. Who is the one who is the true and who is the false? For this reason, industry experts remind producers to pay attention to the following three aspects when purchasing seedlings.

The lower the price, the greater the risk. Some production enterprises covet cheap, buy seedlings do not look at quality, only look at the price, think cheap seedlings can reduce production costs, but do not know that there is a huge risk hidden inside. The same is a 2.5-inch Phalaenopsis seedlings (seedlings), some priced at 8 yuan, some sold only 4 yuan, such a disparity in prices is really puzzling. However, according to industry experts, the current price of Phalaenopsis seedlings is basically more transparent, if the price difference is too much, buyers should be vigilant, calmly analyze whether this attractive price is "pie" or "trap".

Confusion container concept At present, the market sales of Phalaenopsis seedlings are usually divided into 1.5 inches, 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches three specifications, where the "inch" does not refer to the market inch, but refers to the inch. According to the international unified conversion formula, 1 inch =2.54 cm, the diameter of a 2.5-inch Phalaenopsis seedling container should reach 6.35 cm. However, experts in the industry remind buyers that when judging seedling specifications, they should not only look at the size of the container, but also carefully observe the leaves and roots of the seedlings. Sometimes, although the diameter of the container reaches the corresponding specification, the number of leaves of the seedlings is not enough, the root system is not developed enough, and it is not up to standard. In order to shorten the seedling growth cycle, some seedling suppliers often implant substandard seedlings into large containers to deceive buyers. Experts point out that if the container does not match the seedling, it will also affect the normal growth of the seedling.

Maturity trap producers in the purchase of Phalaenopsis seedlings, in addition to depending on the size of specifications, but also must learn to identify maturity. If the manufacturer buys a 2.5-inch seedling, it can be moved to a 3.5-inch seedling container for cultivation immediately after returning, which means that the purchased seedling is a 2.5-inch mature plant. Industry experts pointed out that the so-called mature plants are also divided into different stages, Phalaenopsis from bottle opening to planting, time not less than 4 months is likely to cultivate 1.5 inch mature plants; from 1.5 inches long to 2.5 inches, at least 3 months to cultivate 2.5 inch mature plants, generally speaking, the standard 2.5 inch mature plants should grow 1 big leaf; The 3.5-inch mature plant not only has 4 and a half large leaves, but also 3 of them must be grown in the 3.5-inch container, so that it is in line with the normal growth standards of seedlings.

Experts suggest that when purchasing seedlings, in addition to carefully screening the number of leaves and the fullness of roots of seedlings, manufacturers should also verify with seedling suppliers whether the purchased plants are mature plants, and at the same time shop around to accumulate more experience and avoid being cheated as much as possible.
