When does a leaf orchid blossom? how can it be cultured in water?

One leaf orchid, this is a lot of people like breeding, grow that is really good-looking, when will one leaf orchid blossom? How to cultivate one-leaf orchid in water:

When does the leaf orchid blossom:

One-leaf orchid blossoms from March to April (in the natural environment), but if the family farming, the temperature change of the four seasons is different from nature, higher than the temperature of the same period, it will generally blossom early. However, the one-leaf orchid raised at home rarely blossoms, which is also related to the environment and cannot be forced.

How to cultivate one-leaf orchid in water:

1. Choose the appliance

According to the shape of the leaf orchid, choose the appropriate container, bottle, basin, tank, hydroponic container to look and complement each other. In short, whether it is purchased or made by yourself, it should look decent and elegant, and do not take an instrument and use it at will, so as not to affect the image and overall beauty of the orchid.

2. Remove the soil and wash the roots

We all know that the soil is organic matter and becomes inorganic after being converted to hydroponic culture, so before hydroponic culture, all organic matter attached to the roots should be cleaned so as not to affect the growth and the infection of diseases and insect pests after hydroponic culture.

The specific method of root washing is to dig the plant out of the basin, lift the stem with the right hand, gently hold the root with the left hand, and gently tap the root with the right hand to make the soil completely detached from the root system. Then soak the root in clean water for 15 to 20 minutes, gently wash the root with your hands, and change the water for 2 to 3 times until the root is completely cleaned. There must be no soil left, which is the key link of hydroponic cultivation of a leaf orchid, and we must not be careless.

3. Root trimming

After the soil is washed, it can be pruned properly according to the growth status of the plant. Cut off the old root, diseased root and yellowed leaves, because the hydroponic one-leaf orchid root is also the focus of viewing, so consider the beauty of shape when arranging the root system, after pruning, wash it again, and wash away the residue of root hair left by pruning, so as not to bring it into the water to cause pollution.

4. Root disinfection

After cleaning the roots, you also need to disinfect the roots. Prepare 0.1% potassium permanganate aqueous solution, soak the leaf orchid for 10-15 minutes, take it out and freshen it with clean water. Note that the root disinfection time should not be too long or too short, and the degree of potassium permanganate solution should not be too thick or too thin.

5. Conduct hydroponic culture

If it is a glass vase, because the glass is thicker and has a certain weight, you can carefully put a leaf of orchid along the root system into the vase to ensure that the plant is upright and can be fixed with some stones at the mouth of the bottle. Then add 2 stroke 3 water to the bottle to stretch the roots.

If it is a plastic vase, because it is relatively light, putting a leaf orchid may lead to top-heavy weight, so when hydroponic culture, add a certain weight of stone to the bottom of the bottle, and then insert the leaf orchid into the vase as before.

If it is a pot, tank or other cultivation utensils, or other flowerpots without bottom holes, the fixation of roots in the water should be considered when using.

A leaf orchid usually blossoms from March to April, so we should pay attention to the method of hydroponics.

Introduction to the method of hydroponic culture of Cymbidium mongolica and its matters needing attention in hydroponic culture.

Mention one leaf orchid, do you know about it? One-leaf orchid is a good foliage plant, its leaves are green and broad. One-leaf orchid is evergreen all the year round and will bloom. It is an excellent indoor ornamental plant and can also be hydroponically cultivated. Today, I would like to take you to learn about the hydroponic culture method of Yilan.

Hydroponic method

1. Selection of apparatus

According to the shape of the leaf orchid, choose the appropriate container, bottle, basin, tank, hydroponic container to look and complement each other. In short, whether it is purchased or made by yourself, it should look decent and elegant, and do not take an instrument and use it at will, so as not to affect the image and overall beauty of the orchid.

The above is the hydroponic culture method of one-leaf orchid that I have sorted out. I hope it can be helpful to the flower friends. Please continue to pay attention to the succulent flower bed and learn more about flower conservation.

Hydroponic plants and flowers to spend the winter attention to winter for our flowers and plants will face a test, according to my experience, the mortality rate of hydroponic plants in winter is higher than other times, almost all hydroponic plants are not as cold-resistant as potted plants. So to protect our flowers and plants from now on, the following brief introduction of some methods, according to their own situation, hands-on operation. Climate profile the weather in November can already be felt in the north. From time to time, there will be strong cold air, occasionally accompanied by the first frost, the rainfall will be much less or stop, and the temperature will drop day by day, gradually moving towards winter. Second, the temperature of hydroponic flowers many friends asked me, "what do you think is the minimum limit for hydroponic plants?" After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't come up with a definite answer. I can only say that my hydroponic plants can withstand 5 °, and my hydroponic plants below 5 °are not enough. (of most foliage green plants) however, if we want to improve the cold resistance of plants, we should do some cold resistance exercises in advance. Third, since the cold-resistant exercise of hydroponic plants is exercise, first of all, it explains two points: 1, the word "exercise" is a process, and if you can't stick to it, there will be no exercise; 2. The word "exercise" means that there must be a certain limit. Don't overdo it in order to have a good effect. Cold resistance exercise method of hydroponic plants: ① moves hydroponic plants to the sun to strengthen light, pay attention to cover containers with newspapers to prevent sudden rise in water temperature, algae, the effect of "light shear phenomenon" on plants, and round containers also prevent "magnifying glass" phenomenon from burning the roots of plants. Add nutrient solution regularly every week, choose flowering nutrient solution as far as possible, apply less nitrogen fertilizer and more phosphorus and potassium, in order to accumulate nutrients and improve cold resistance. ② moves plants to places with plenty of light to accumulate sufficient nutrients for the photosynthesis of flowers and improve the cold resistance of plants. ③ cold resistance exercise is to put plants outdoors or open windows when the temperature drops in autumn, so that plants go through a process of temperature change, physiologically forming adaptation to low temperature. To exercise the plants, under the conditions that the plants can bear, let the plants accept the exercise of lower temperature as far as possible, and let the plants gradually adapt to the low temperature environment, which is conducive to overwintering. It is more ventilated and windowed during the day, which is consistent with the outside temperature, you can open the window from morning to afternoon, but close the window at night, do not overtrain, it is impossible for plants to adapt to lower temperatures indefinitely, cold-resistant exercise is also impossible for plants to break through their cold-resistant ability, trained plants are only slightly more resistant to cold than plants without cold-resistant training. Don't mistakenly think that my plant is not afraid after cold resistance training. ④ above exercise is carried out under relatively normal temperature, if the plant suddenly encounters a sharp drop in temperature, it should be temporarily moved to the sunny place, close the window, wait for the temperature to rise slightly and stabilize after continuing to exercise, if you always forget to close the window, it is likely to lead to fallen leaves when the temperature drop is large. Remember not to blow the cold wind directly on the plants. Cold-resistant exercise is mainly for winter non-dormant or semi-dormant plants, winter dormant plants do not need exercise. The water temperature of ⑤ water exchange is not easy to deviate too much, otherwise there will be physiological disorders in the roots, which will affect the absorption of water and nutrients by the roots of hydroponic plants, and will also cause defoliation. ⑥ must enter the house at the right time, put it in a warm place or near the heater, and open the doors and windows in the first week to allow the plant to have a slight adaptation process. Do not exercise too much, lead to freezing damage, and do not put it near the heating too early to prevent entering the house too early to affect the accumulation of nutrients or consume nutrients prematurely, which is not conducive to hydroponic plants to pass the winter or grow badly in the coming year. As for the timing, he probably entered the house just before Frosts Descent to spend the winter. ⑦ put the plants into the house before frosting to prevent frost. ⑧ some plants do not need to be trained at all and will basically die in the process of training. For example, Anthurium andraeanum, colored leaf taro and other heat-loving plants will enter the house in November at the latest and freeze to death later. Fourth, the fertilizer and water management of hydroponic plants once a week in October, and the plants are still in the late growth stage. Add less in November, once or twice a month, and most plants are about to stop growing. After December to the beginning of spring, no nutrition, for most flowers, this season, the temperature is very low, most plants are dormant and semi-dormant, generally do not need fertilization. The water level is gradually falling. After all the flowers enter the room in the north, sometimes the heating is very hot, resulting in a very dry room, so we should pay attention to spraying water and moisturizing. Fifth, the cold resistance ability of hydroponic plants is statistically strong: iron tree, one-leaf orchid, hyacinth, calla lily, brown bamboo, cyclamen, dry golden lotus, gentleman orchid, crane orchid, cold water flower and so on. General cold resistance: Dishui Guanyin, green pineapple, hanging orchid, tortoise back, spring feather and other low cold resistance: red palm, colored leaf taro, epiphyllum, arrow lotus, cactus and so on. Six, several methods of hydroponic plant cold resistance 1, wrapping method with double plastic bag film with flowers with bottle cover, you can make their own diy, with wire as a frame, plastic bags as a film, or other better methods. Put it in a place with plenty of light indoors. Take off the mask in time to ventilate when the temperature is high at noon every day. Suitable for high-grade plants, artificial "microclimate" is conducive to maintain humidity, dustproof, cold, branches and leaves more fresh and lovely. 2. In the hydroponic culture of most woody plants, the yellow leaves should be removed, the old leaves should be built, and the long branches should be cut short. The main purpose is to prevent twigs and old leaves, and yellow leaves consume the nutrients accumulated by plants. 3. Pot planting method for many fast-rooting, fast-growing plants can be picked into the basin for the winter, less watering or no watering, no fertilization. In the coming year, we will change to hydroponics. 4. Accumulation method most hydroponic plants are placed at will. In order to spend the winter, they can be put together to give up their temporary beauty in exchange for their lives. When placed, they can be concentrated in a sunny place with enough light. And pay attention to some tips: Xiyang put the front row, Xi Yin put the back row, small front row, big back row, so that you can save space and central heating, which is conducive to unified management and heating. (in some areas where there is no heating, there is no need to install air-conditioning in every home.) Cold exercise (mentioned above, not described) hydroponic plants suitable for this season: by temperature: maintain at about 05 degrees: Hulk, brown bamboo, sprinkle gold, pocket coconut, ivy, white calla lilies, colored calla lilies, rubber trees, geraniums, flower goose paw wood, kidney ferns, iron ferns, etc. The more difficult ones can try: Zhu Jiao, Nanyang fir, Tianmendong. Maintain at about 10 degrees: in addition to the above, rich tree, gentleman orchid, dragon blood tree, pineapple, fish tail sunflower, green apple, spring feather, hanging orchid, tortoise back, dripping Guanyin, taro, crane orchid and so on. Maintain at about 15 degrees: in addition to the above, poinsettia, cyclamen, melon and leaf chrysanthemum, evergreen, variable leaf wood, bird's nest fern, reticulate grass, tiger tail orchid, pepper grass and so on. If it is more difficult, you can try: red cactus, cactus. 7. Clinical symptoms of hydroponic plants in winter generally hydroponic plants will have large and small symptoms in overwintering, such as wilting leaves, falling leaves, withered branches, falling fruits and flowers, but as long as they can survive the cold winter, they will win.
