The propagation method of Chinese chive orchid and the difference between flowering stage and onion orchid

Leek orchid is very good-looking, vitality is also very tenacious, whether in dry places or relatively humid places are able to grow, what is the breeding method of leek orchid? When will it bloom? what's the difference between onion orchid and onion orchid?

The propagation method of Chinese chive orchid:

To reproduce by separating bulbs or sowing.

Like to moisten fertile and well-drained soil.

It can be planted by split plant or bulb.

It can be carried out all year round, but it is the best in spring. As long as the root of the ball is dug up, 3-5 balls are planted in each place and watered to maintain proper humidity, it is very easy to survive. When digging up the bulbs, be careful not to hurt them. If there are too many leaves and flower stems, cut off the upper part and keep the complete bulb and 6-8 cm leaves for planting. If the bulb has germinated buds and fully watered after branching, it can still blossom.

The method of dividing balls can be carried out in spring and autumn.

The planting depth is slightly exposed at the top of the bulb, and the bulb is divided once every 2 to 3 years. Potted plants should have plenty of sunshine and fat water. After a batch of flowers fade, the water should be controlled for 50 days and 60 days, and then the normal water supply should be restored. Such alternation of dry and wet can promote multiple flowering, which can blossom 2 or 3 times a year.

The florescence of leek orchid:

Like warm, moist, sunny, but also resistant to semi-overcast. It is suitable for sandy loam with good drainage and rich humus. The florescence is from June to September.

Distribution area of leek orchid:

Native to Central and South America, it is transplanted to tropical and subtropical regions and propagates with seeds, but it is customary to transplant bulbs.

The difference between leek orchid and onion orchid:

Green onion orchid leaves are round, upright and not easy to bend or lodge, while leek orchid leaves are flat, wider and easier to bend or lodge.

But flowers, green orchid flowers are generally white, chive orchid flowers are generally pink, leek orchid flowers are slightly larger than green orchid flowers.

The breeding method and pest control of Chinese chive orchid, the difference between it and onion orchid

Leek orchid is large in shape, pink, petals slightly curved; small leek orchid is thick peach red, adult each bulb can blossom, clump of flowers, brilliant in the sun, charming, loved by everyone. What is the breeding method of leek orchid? What are the methods of its diseases and insect pests? Come and learn from the editor.

Reproductive methods and pest control

It can be planted by split plant or bulb, which can be carried out all the year round, but it is the best in spring. As long as the root of the ball is dug up, 5 balls are planted in each place, and the watering is kept properly.

The humidity is very easy to survive. When digging up the bulbs, be careful not to hurt them. If there are too many leaves and flower stems, cut off the upper part and leave the complete bulb and 6Mel 8cm leaves for planting. If the bulb has germinated buds and fully watered after branching, it can still blossom. [6]

The seeds of Chinese chives usually mature from September to October. Because of its long flowering period, the time for seed collection is not concentrated. Pay attention to observe that when the pericarp changes from green to black, select full and full seeds to be harvested in time, otherwise the fruit will crack and it will not be easy to collect once it falls off. After the fruit is collected, it should be dried in time, and after the peel is cracked, it should be threshed in time, and the pure seeds can be obtained by removing sundries. Because the cold tolerance of Chinese chive is slightly poor, it should be sown in spring.

Preservation of seeds: as the seeds of leek orchid are relatively small and have low water content, after fully drying, the seeds to be processed can be stored in Kraft paper bags to prevent mildew and rot.

Diseases include leaf rust and spot disease; insect pests include grubs. Small leek orchid has strong resistance to diseases and insect pests. When the disease occurs, the whole plant can be sprayed with 1RU 3000 methyl topiramate, and the underground pests can use phoxim to irrigate the plant.

Fertilization: when potted, combined with changing pots, changing soil and applying base fertilizer every year, organic fertilizers such as oil meal, compost or nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be used once every 2 to 3 months, increasing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer in proportion, which can promote bulb hypertrophy and bloom well.

3. Watering: onion orchids should be watered adequately during the growth period, and it is appropriate to keep the basin soil moist, but not stagnant water. When the weather is dry, water is often sprayed on the leaves to increase air humidity, otherwise the leaf tips are easy to yellow and wither.
