What is the breeding method and breeding price of monkey-faced orchids?

Monkey-faced orchids really look like monkeys, and have a monkey's tail. Keeping a monkey-faced orchid at home is like having a naughty animal at home. What are the breeding and breeding methods of monkey-faced orchids? What is the price of monkey-faced orchids?

Culture methods of monkey-faced orchids:

1. Selection of basin soil

It is not difficult to raise monkey face orchid, choose a good medium, generally use bark, perlite and peat moss mixture, you can cover the basin soil with water moss, keep water breathable, shade in summer, prevent direct sun exposure, environmental humidity should be humid, not too dry.

2. Reproduction

Monkey face orchid is generally sown and propagated, and the seeds are sown on the seedling basin without covering the soil. It can be sown when it gets a little cooler in autumn.

Keep the pot soil slightly moist, transplant when growing 2 to 3 true leaves, and take care of it, it is relatively small.

3. Humidity and watering

It likes slightly moist basin soil, so it should be watered frequently in summer, it doesn't matter if the environment is a little dry, (no stagnant water, don't be caught in the rain), if you grow more luxuriantly, you can pick the heart properly and bloom more flowers!

It generally blossoms in April to May, the flowering period is very long, of course, there are summer and autumn flowering varieties, ornamental is also good!

4. The right temperature

Monkey face orchid another not very good place is afraid of heat, summer is like succulent, more delicate, so you can spray water around the cooling, rainy days do not need!

In general, it is best to survive the winter above 5 degrees in winter, and it is also good for it to have an indoor temperature of more than 15 degrees.

5. Appropriate sunshine except in summer, it can see light as much as possible. It is also the kind of plant that can not be exposed to the sun. It likes the sun better, but it can not be exposed directly. Only when there is enough sunshine can it grow better and bloom more flowers.

Summer proper shade, just like raising succulent plants, high and low temperatures will stop growing.

Florescence is generally moved back to indoor breeding, which helps to prolong the flowering period, and it is best to put it on the southeast windowsill with ventilation and shade. Don't blame me for not teaching you.

6. Introduction of fertilization

This plant does not need to apply fertilizer frequently, generally it is thin fertilizer less, summer and winter do not apply fertilizer, spring and autumn can apply thin fertilizer frequently, the amount must be less, generally it is ordinary diluted liquid fertilizer! Note:

You can't be outside in the rain on a cloudy and rainy day. after all, it's a potted plant. It doesn't matter if you can move into the house and raise it for a few days.

Summer precautions:

Summer should be watered in the early morning or in the evening, you can often spray plants, do not water in hot weather, especially do not take the water to the sun.

Its seeds are easy to scatter when they are mature, so it depends on whether you want to harvest them or not, but it also depends on whether you have pollinated or not pollinated.

Its flowers look really strange!

Breeding methods of monkey-faced orchids:

Monkey-faced orchids are generally sown and propagated, and they can also be propagated with twigs cuttings or pots.

1. Sowing seeds

Generally sowing in autumn, humus soil and sand mixed, generally with perlite or fine sand mixed peat soil, the seed is very small, so can not be sprinkled with flowers, generally soaking basin, let water seep in from the hole at the bottom of the basin.

Sowing seeds at about 15 degrees, sprouting in two weeks, transplanting with 3 to 4 true leaves is the safest, and keep the basin soil slightly moist.

2. Ramets are all carried out in spring, and when changing pots, the whole plant is pulled out, the basin soil is removed, cut with a sharp knife and divided into several plants, each plant must have more roots, and some old leaves can be removed properly after ramet, which can increase the survival rate.

After dividing the plant, soak it with carbendazim or chlorothalonil for 5 minutes, dry and then serve. (do not water frequently after ramet, give a small amount at a time, spray more)

Watering too much is easy to rot the roots, when the ramets are dead, it will be sad.

What is the price of monkey-faced orchids:

Monkey-faced orchids are relatively rare in the market, with a price of about 200 yuan, higher requirements for temperature and soil, and easier to raise to death.

Monkey-faced orchid breeding and breeding methods are introduced here, quickly raise a monkey spirit at home.

Monkey face small dragon orchid culture method one of the rare orchid species

Monkey-faced small dragon orchid belongs to perennial grass flowers, opposite in leaf axils, funnel-shaped, yellow, usually with purplish red patches or spots, very beautiful. Next, let's take a look at the breeding method of monkey-faced dragon orchid with Xiaobian, and see how the orchid with monkey face is vividly called "monkey-faced orchid".

Introduction of Monkey face Little Dragon Orchid

A strange orchid grows in the foggy forests of southeastern Ecuador and Peru, which is vividly called "monkey-faced orchid" because of its monkey face. This kind of orchid usually grows nearly 2000 meters above the line of sight and is very secret, so it is difficult to find. This orchid can blossom in any season and gives off a smell similar to that of ripe oranges.

Monkey-faced Dracula simia "Dracula" means "little dragon", representing the two long thorns and two long sepals of this orchid, while "Simia" represents a more striking and bizarre feature of the orchid, the monkey face. It is vividly called "monkey-faced orchid" because of its monkey face, and its scientific name is monkey-faced small dragon orchid. In addition to the monkey face, this orchid has two strange features, namely, two long thorns and two long calyx.

The "monkey face" and "monkey mouth" parts of the orchid are the lip petals of the small dragon orchid, the parts like three large petals are actually sepals, and the parts like the monkey's forehead and nose are stamens and columns. In 1978, botanist Carl Ruhr named the orchid.

1. Morphological characteristics

Monkey-faced small dragon orchid is a perennial grass flower, which is often cultivated for 1-2 years. It is 30cm to 40cm tall and the stem is stout and hollow. Middle reciprocally opposite, broadly ovoid. Flowering from April to May, opposite in leaf axils, funnel-shaped, yellow, usually with purplish red patches or spots, very beautiful.

The stem is stout, hollow, and takes root on the nodes. Leaves alternate, broadly ovoid, nearly equal in length and width, slightly narrower in upper part. Sparse racemes, flowers opposite in leaf axils, funnelform, yellow, usually with purplish red patches or spots, seeds fine.

The Corolla background color of the cultivated variety is different shades of yellow, with red, purple and brown spots of different sizes and shapes.

2. Ecological habits

Monkey-faced dragon orchids are often found by botanists in the forests of Ecuador and Peru at an altitude of 2000 meters. Keep plants partially shaded, prevent exposure to the sun, and maintain a certain degree of humidity.

Monkey face small dragon orchid likes cold climate, can tolerate cold, but can not suffer frost injury, and can withstand 2 ℃ low temperature in winter. Like moisture, like enough light, grow well on fertile soil.

The culture method of monkey face small dragon orchid

1. Humidity management

Monkey face small dragon orchid likes the drier air environment, overcast and rainy days are too long, easy to be infected by bacteria. For fear of rain, keep the leaves dry at night. The optimum air relative humidity is 40 ~ 65%.

2. Temperature management

Monkey face small dragon orchid likes cold climate, afraid of hot, difficult to spend summer; not resistant to frost, when the temperature drops below 10 ℃, it will go into dormancy. The most suitable growth temperature is 15-28 ℃.

3. Lighting management

Monkey face small dragon orchid in late autumn, winter, early spring three seasons, because the temperature is not very high, it should be given direct sunlight, in order to facilitate its photosynthesis and the formation of flower buds, flowering, fruiting. If you encounter hot weather or in summer, you need to shield it from about 50% of the sun.

For indoor maintenance and viewing after flowering, it should be placed near the southeast doors and windows in order to prolong the flowering period and increase the number of flowers as much as possible.

4. Fertilizer and water management

There is not much demand for fertilizer and water, and they are afraid of applying fertilizer indiscriminately, applying concentrated fertilizer and partial application of nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, and are required to follow the principle of "frequent application of light fertilizer, less and more times, and complete nutrition":

5. Spring and autumn

These two seasons are its peak growing season. Fertilizer and water management circulates in the order of "Huabao"-- "Huabao"-- clear water-- "Huabao"-- "Huabao"-- "Huabao" at least twice a week. The interval period is about 1-4 days for outdoor maintenance, shorter intervals during sunny days or high temperatures, longer intervals or no watering during rainy days or low temperatures. Keep it indoors for 2-6 days, with shorter intervals during sunny days or high temperatures, longer intervals or no watering during rainy days or low temperatures.

6. Summer

It is the season of slow growth, so it is necessary to control fertilizer and water properly. Fertilizer and water management cycle in the order of "Huabao"-clear water-clear water-"Huabao"-clear water-clear water, the interval period is about 1-4 days of outdoor maintenance, and the interval period is shorter during sunny days or high temperature periods. The interval period is longer or not watered during rainy days or low temperature periods; in indoor maintenance days, the interval period is shorter in sunny days or high temperature periods, and longer or unwatered in rainy days or low temperature periods. Water it in the morning or evening when the temperature is low, and spray the plants frequently. Watering time should be arranged as early as possible when the temperature is low in the morning.

7. Winter

During the dormant period in winter, the main task is to control fertilizer and water. Fertilizer and water management circulates according to the order of "Huabao"-clear water-clear water-"Huabao"-clear water-clear water, the interval period is about 7 ~ 10 days, the interval period is shorter during sunny or high temperature, and the interval is longer or not watered during rainy or low temperature. Watering time is arranged as far as possible when the temperature is high at noon on a sunny day.

During the growing period, the heart was picked many times to promote branching. It is cultivated in low temperature greenhouse in winter and cultivated in open field after early frost in spring. Seeds are easy to scatter when they are ripe and should be harvested in batches at the right time. It can also be propagated by cutting, cutting the tender stem and cutting it in the wet soil, which is easy to take root; because the stem is creeping and taking root at the node, the stem segment that takes root can be planted separately. The cultivation site is best selected in the semi-shady place to prevent the western sun, and at the same time, increase the application of organic fertilizer to promote seedling and flower propagation. The plant can tolerate low temperature of-20 ℃. Sow and reproduce. Pot sowing in September, sowing soil can be mixed with loam, rotten leaf soil and sand. Because the seeds are small and the Xinjiang soil should be thin, the basin soaking method is used to keep the basin soil moist. Sowing at the right temperature of 12 ℃ 15 min, 7 Mel 14 days to sprout, and 3 Mel 5 true leaves, move to 7-9cm basin, keep moist, often topdressing, timely adjust the basin distance, not make crowded.

Like moisture, like plenty of light. Grow well on loose, fertile, well-drained soil.

The breeding mode of monkey-faced small dragon orchid

Monkey face small dragon orchid common reproduction with sowing, can also be tender wood cutting or branch propagation.

1. Sowing and reproduction

Pot sowing in September, sowing soil can be mixed with loam, rotten leaf soil and sand. Because the seeds are small and the Xinjiang soil should be thin, the basin soaking method is used to keep the basin soil moist. Sowing at the right temperature of 12 ℃ 15 min, 7 Mel 14 days to sprout, and 3 Mel 5 true leaves, move to 7-9cm basin, keep moist, often topdressing, timely adjust the basin distance, not make crowded.

2. Ramet propagation

Ramet time: preferably after soil thawing in early spring (February or March).

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

Disinfect in a basin:

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.

Management after ramet:

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, so 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 1 ~ 3 times a day (spraying more 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.

Transplant in pot:

When the seedlings are installed in a basin, a coarse-grained matrix or ceramsite with a thickness of 2-2 cm is first put into the bottom of the basin as a filter layer, which is sprinkled with a fully mature organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer with a thickness of about 1-2 cm, and then covered with a layer of matrix, about 1-2 cm thick, and then put in the plant to separate the fertilizer from the root system and avoid root burning.

The substrate used in the basin:

The following peat + perlite + ceramsite = 2 + 1 peat + slag + ceramsite = 2 + 2 + 1 sawdust + vermiculite + medium coarse river sand = 2 + 2 + 1. Pour water once after putting on the basin and keep it in a shady environment for a week.

When transplanting the seedlings, first dig the planting hole, sprinkle a layer of organic fertilizer at the bottom of the planting hole as the base fertilizer (base fertilizer), the thickness is about 4 ~ 6 cm, and then cover a layer of soil and put it into the seedlings to separate the fertilizer from the root system and avoid burning roots.

After putting it into the seedling, backfill the soil, cover the root system, and trample the soil with your feet and water it once.
