Culture methods and matters needing attention of lipstick orchid when will lipstick orchid bloom

Lipstick orchid, also known as flower vine grass, is a perennial evergreen trailing herbaceous flower of the genus Gesneriaceae. Leaves ovate-opposite, slightly fleshy. Inflorescences multi-axillary or terminal, the shape is very similar to lipstick, calyx tube-shaped, much like lipstick tube-shaped shell, so it is called lipstick hanging orchid. Its thick green leaves coupled with bright red, strange Corolla, quite loved by people, is a good product in the family room hanging flowering plants. But do you know its breeding method and related knowledge when you plant lipstick orchid? Now let me introduce it to you in detail.

First, the culture mode of lipstick orchid

I. the mode of culture

Lipstick orchid culture method is simple, usually extensive management, too careful will only be counterproductive, the cultivation soil quality of loose and fertile sandy loam is better, drainage is good. The best temperature is 15 ℃ and 25 min. The growing period of lipstick orchid is from March to September every year, and the water demand is large, so it is necessary to water and spray frequently to increase humidity, and gradually reduce the amount of water after autumn to improve the cold resistance of the plant.

Lipstick hanging orchid in a year in addition to the midsummer noon strong light should be properly sheltered, other times should be given sufficient light, especially in winter. Like semi-shady environment, if the light in the place is too strong or insufficient, the leaves will easily become light green or yellowish green, lack of vitality, lose their due ornamental value, and even die, such as direct sunlight, dry air, which is most likely to cause scorch. therefore, it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and pay attention to maintain environmental humidity, avoid continuous high temperature and humidity, drainage, poor ventilation will cause decay.

1, suitable for soil: lipstick hanging orchid soil with loose and fertile sandy loam is better, and the drainage is good. The pot soil is slightly acidic, and the pot culture soil made of peat soil, sand and vermiculite can be used, and an appropriate amount of calcium superphosphate is added.

2. Lighting: like the semi-overcast environment. In addition to the strong light at noon in midsummer, adequate light should be given at other times of the year, especially in winter. If the light is too strong or insufficient in the placement site, the leaves will easily become light green or yellowish green.

Temperature: lipstick hanging orchid should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and pay attention to maintain environmental humidity. Avoid continuous high temperature and humidity, poor drainage and ventilation will cause decay. Lipstick orchids are not hardy and need to be indoors in winter.

4, watering frequency: the basin soil should always be kept moist, avoid stagnant water in the basin, so as not to cause root rot. The water demand during the peak growth period from March to September is relatively large, so it is necessary to often water and spray to increase humidity; the autumn weather is gradually cool and cold, and the amount of water and fertilizer should be gradually reduced. The basin soil should be slightly dry in winter.

5, pruning tips: when the growth is exuberant, you can pick the heart properly to promote branching. After the winter flowering period, the residual stems that have flowered should be cut off in time, which can save nutrients, promote new branches and make them blossom.

Matters needing attention for lipstick hanging orchid

1. Avoid stagnant water, which must be paid attention to. Stagnant water will cause lipstick hanging orchid to rot.

2, avoid the scorching sun exposure, lipstick hanging orchid like semi-shady environment, although the need for sufficient light, but if the light is too strong, is not conducive to growth, especially in summer.

Second, when will the lipstick orchid blossom

The main reason for the big difference in florescence is that, on the one hand, there is a great difference in climate between the north and the south, and on the other hand, the ability of man-made to change the environment is very strong, not just in terms of natural flowering.

Lipstick orchid should apply less nitrogen fertilizer during flowering, improve the intensity of indoor light, control the lower room temperature, and promote its flowering. After the winter flowering period, the residual stems that have flowered should be cut off in time, which can save nutrients, promote new branches and make them blossom. Sometimes the top bud of lipstick hanging orchid will be necrotic for no reason, which is caused by the lack of calcium fertilizer, then appropriate amount of calcium fertilizer should be applied, and the phenomenon of top bud necrosis will disappear.

Lipstick orchid is not cold-resistant, the breeding method of lipstick orchid needs to be indoors in winter. Lipstick hanging orchid on the air humidity requirements are not strict, indoor air is not too dry can adapt. The suitable growth temperature of lipstick orchid culture method should be about 25 ℃, and the overwintering temperature should be above 12 ℃. If it is found that the leaves turn red, either the light is too strong or the room temperature is too low, the room temperature should be raised in time. If the room temperature is too low, it will cause the leaves to fall off and the branches to dry up. If the culture method of lipstick orchid is suitable at room temperature, its florescence will be concentrated from December to February of the following year. At this time, we should apply less nitrogen fertilizer, improve the intensity of indoor light, control the lower room temperature, and promote flowering. After the winter flowering period, the culture method of lipstick orchid should cut off the residual stem after flowering in time, which can save the consumption of nutrients and promote new branches, and make it blossom. Sometimes the apical bud of the flower will die for no reason, which is caused by the lack of calcium fertilizer. At this time, the culture method of lipstick should apply appropriate amount of calcium fertilizer, and the phenomenon of terminal bud necrosis will disappear. Lipstick magnolia is mainly propagated by cymbidium. Cut 10 to 15 cm long tip, insert it in clean river sand, keep proper room temperature, take root and survive after a month, and transplant 4 to 6 plants in each pot. The culture method of lipstick orchid in summer can be directly inserted in the basin soil; it can be carried out all the year round in the greenhouse. When the growth is exuberant, the heart can be properly removed to promote branching.
