What are the culture methods and matters needing attention of Cymbidium

What are the breeding methods and precautions of spider orchid? Next, let's take a look together.

Chlorophytum comosum (Thunb.) Baker.），Chlorophytum, also known as: sarmentosetum, hanging orchid, fishing orchid, orchid, folding crane orchid, Western Europe, also known as spider grass or airplane grass, originated in South Africa. Monocotyledonous plant class, lily family, spider orchid belongs to perennial evergreen herbaceous plant, rhizome is unripe or slant unripe, have root of most fleshy. Leaves tufted, linear, slender, orchid-like.

planting conditions

If you want to make the maturity rate of its spider orchid higher, of course, it is inseparable from the surrounding environment. And what are the requirements for its environment?

1 soil: because of its strong adaptability, all kinds of soil can

2 light: spider orchid prefer to stay in the semi-shade, so all the year round can be cultivated in bright indoor, pay attention to in summer, do not expose the sun, to avoid its poor growth because of too much light.

3 Fertilization: Apply fertilizer once or twice in each growing season. But don't fertilize when the temperature is below 4 degrees

4 pruning: as long as the yellow leaves are often cut, in May, you can cut off some of the old leaves to ensure that they produce more new leaves.

5 Water: The spider plant likes a moist environment. So just keep the soil moist and it's OK.

There are several reasons why the tip of the spider plant will dry up. Generally speaking, there are several reasons for this:

1) The leaves of the spider plant touch obstacles such as walls for a long time.

2) There is water.

3) is harmful.

Watering method of spider orchid culture

Chlorophytum like humid environment, should maintain a high air humidity, growth period to keep the pot soil moist. However, due to the large amount of water stored in its fleshy roots, it has a strong ability to resist drought and will not dry up without watering for several days. Summer watering should be sufficient, and water should be sprayed on the branches and leaves every evening to keep the air moist. In early October, move it indoors and put it in the sun. When the temperature is higher at noon every 5~7 days, spray the branches and leaves with clean water close to room temperature. However, the basin soil should be dry.

Propagation method of spider orchid culture

Chlorophytum is very easy to reproduce, generally by plant division method, from spring to autumn can be cut at any time on the flower stem of the small plant planted separately, can also be separated in early spring old plant root cluster planted separately.

The propagation by plant division method can be carried out in all seasons except winter when the temperature is too low to be suitable for plant division. Potted 2~3 years old plants can be divided in spring when changing pots, watering should be stopped before dividing plants, so that the pot soil is properly dried to facilitate the emergence of plants; after the plants are taken out of the pots, the old culture soil is removed, divided into several plants, and planted in pots respectively.

When using the root-bearing seedlings at the tip of the flower stem for propagation, the root-bearing seedlings at the tip of the flower stem should be removed. Divide into small individual plants, and then plant them in pots. But planting should not be too deep, too deep is not conducive to germination, slow growth.

The above is the introduction of the cultivation methods and precautions of spider orchid, I hope to help you.
