The culture method of pearl orchid

Pearl hanging orchid, also known as emerald pearl, originated in southern Africa, because it is a hanging orchid-shaped plant, so it is widely cultivated all over the world. Next, let's take a look at how to grow pearl orchids at home.

The pearl orchid gets its name because of its bulging, full green oval leaves shaped like pearls. Also known as jadeite bead, lover's tears, Buddha bead hanging orchid, jadeite bead, green bell, green bell. The florescence is usually from December of that year to January of the following year.

Pearl orchid prefers loose and fertile soil rich in organic matter. It grows best in the environment of warmth, high humidity and strong scattered light. High temperature and humidity should be avoided in summer, otherwise it is easy to rot stems and die. Potted flowers can be cultivated in rain-proof shade. After autumn, the plant will resume growth, increase light, and topdressing liquid fertilizer, as well as blue pearl orchid and brown pearl orchid.

Different flower species have different requirements for temperature and environment. Pearl orchid has certain requirements for the environment, and pearl orchid prefers a warm, humid, semi-overcast environment. I like loose and fertile soil rich in organic matter. It generally grows best in places with medium light. However, the adaptability of pearl orchid is still relatively strong, more drought-resistant and cold-resistant.

Pearl orchid is a more delicate plant, in summer should avoid high temperature, high humidity, high temperature, high humidity can easily lead to rotting stem death. After entering autumn, the plant of Pearl Cymbidium will resume its growth, so it should be fertilized with more light. In the process of cultivation, watering the pearl orchid must remember the principle that it would rather be dry than wet. When the weather is dry, you can spray water to the leaves and vines to make up for the lack of water and keep the beads green and full. Pearl hanging orchid bogey shade, avoid high temperature and high humidity, exposure will burn beads.

The pearl orchid can be propagated by cuttings, and its branches and vines can easily take root. Cut off a few branches in the spring and autumn, bury half of them in the loose sand, keep them moist but without stagnant water, and root out in about half a month. The pearl orchid can also be propagated by using the small plants of walking fools. In the growing season, cut off the small beads on the stems and plant them in the culture soil or in water. Wait until the roots of the small plants grow before they can be transplanted in the hanging basin.

Culture of Pearl Cymbidium

1. The leaves are succulent and succulent, so they are resistant to drought. Watering should be dry rather than wet in cultivation, which is one of the keys to success. When the weather is dry, you can spray water to the leaves and vines to make up for the lack of moisture and keep the beads green and full. Prefer semi-shade, sun exposure may burn beads, too weak light will not grow strong.

2. The root system of the plant is very shallow and can be planted in shallow pot. Generally, tiles are used to cover the bottom hole and covered with a layer of cinder or coarse sand to increase air permeability and filtration (especially when plastic pots are commonly used nowadays). It is best to use rotten leaf soil (the fallen leaves of trees in autumn and winter are mixed with a certain amount of broken soil to be exposed. Mix in a certain amount of sand (the ratio of soil to sand is about 1:3).

3. Sex is warm and humid, cold-tolerant (low temperature of 0 ℃ in Jianghuai region), high temperature, and the optimum temperature is about 20 ℃-28 ℃. The growth is slow at high temperature and low temperature, especially when the temperature is more than 30 ℃, it is almost dormant. It should be irrigated and fertilized less, otherwise the roots are easy to rot, which is also one of the keys to successful cultivation.

4. In the spring and autumn when the growth is exuberant, "thin fertilizer" should be applied frequently. Spraying 1-3 ‰ nitrogen fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaf surface is beneficial to make the pearl more green and fat and improve the ornamental value.

5. There are few diseases and insect pests, and aphids are one of them in spring, which should be wiped off or sprayed with 1500 times omethoate in time, while mites in summer and autumn should be killed with 1000 times triclofenac. Pay attention to ventilation and increase leaf humidity, can reduce the infection of mites.
