Flower cultivation skills: the gardener teaches you how to raise fresh and refined nail orchids!

Whenever I see the fresh and refined nail orchid, I really have the feeling of watching Yang Liping dance. This kind of orchid is very similar to the nails of beautiful women dyed with Cordan, and has a very high ornamental value. The old gardener Xiaobian first came into contact with nail orchid in a leader's home. When he saw such a beautiful orchid at first sight, he was immediately attracted. After going back, in order to make the courtyard more fresh and refined, I bought two nail orchids. After groping, the warm home Lao Hua gardener Xiaobian summed up the experience of raising nail orchid.

Keep a pot of nail orchid, mainly at four o'clock.

First, soil:

Nail orchid should be planted in a natural sandy substrate with good air permeability and rich in decay, this kind of slightly acidic iron-containing soil is more conducive to the root growth of this plant, and can be planted in tile pots when it is young, because the soil is easier to dry in this container, which is more beneficial to the rooting and development of nail orchid. 2 when it is transplanted in a porcelain pot or purple sand pot after 3 years, it needs to wash the root.

Second, lighting:

Like most orchids, nail orchids like cool and ventilated environments. Wild orchids grow in deep mountains and valleys, so be sure to avoid direct sunlight or hang them directly under the eaves (especially in summer), so that nail orchids can easily die. The right thing to do is to raise it in a place that can be illuminated by scattered light, so that it can enjoy enough light without being too violent.

Third, humidity:

Since it already grows in a humid environment, it is best to maintain a stable high humidity environment for the nail orchid. This kind of orchid is very afraid of drying, but do not water it too hard, and you can increase the humidity by spraying. It won't damage the plant. And if watering should be reduced to keep the potted soil dry, put it thoroughly in a cool and ventilated place for 10 days to half a month after transplanting, keep the potted soil moist and take care of it gradually.

Fourth, temperature: nail orchid is originally a tropical plant, but because it grows in high mountains and deep valleys, the most suitable temperature is 15-30 degrees Celsius. More than 35 degrees Celsius most affects growth and development, while the lowest temperature below 10 degrees is easy to frostbite. So if it is cultivated in places with four distinct seasons, it needs to be provided with air conditioning and heating in summer and winter, respectively. Keeping it at a temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius is the most favorable for growth and flowering.

Note: the seed of fingernail orchid is very fine, in which there is only one immature embryo, and the seed coat is not easy to absorb water, so it cannot sprout naturally if sown by conventional methods. Therefore, it is also necessary to use orchid or artificial culture medium to give nutrients to the seeds of fingernail orchid in order to let it grow bud embryos, and it is best to choose seeds that are not cracked. Our family farming, generally buy young plant breeding, do not need to cultivate their own. Do you want to move this empty valley orchid growing in the depths of the forest gully back home?
