Does golden butterfly orchid belong to the breeding method of Oncidium and matters needing attention? When will it blossom? How do you breed?

Oncidium originated from the United States, Mexico, Guyana and Peru, so the breeding methods and points for attention of Oncidium? When will it blossom? How do you breed? It is understood that Oncidium likes to be moist and semi-shade. in addition to watering to increase humidity, it is necessary to often spray water to the leaf surface and the ground. Timely increase of air humidity is very important to the growth of leaves. Hard leaf-shaped varieties have strong drought tolerance and will not dry to death without watering for a long time in winter.

First, the breeding methods and matters needing attention of Oncidium?

Soil requirement

Oncidium likes a relatively dry environment. Before planting, cover the bottom of the flowerpot with a layer of broken tiles and bricks, and the soil has better drainage and air permeability. You can choose 4 parts of broken fern root, 1 part of peat soil, 2 parts of broken charcoal, 2 parts of vermiculite and 1 part of water moss.

Light and temperature requirements

Oncidium likes a semi-shady environment and can be maintained under full sunshine in winter without shade and can promote plant flowering. Shading should be done in other seasons to prevent leaves from being burned.

Different varieties of Oncidium have different requirements for temperature. The temperature of thick-leaf varieties should not be lower than 12 ℃, and the most suitable growth temperature of thin-leaf varieties should be 18-25 ℃, while that of thin-leaf varieties should be 10-22 ℃ and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 8 ℃.

Water and fertilizer requirements

Oncidium likes a drier environment and can be watered when I am dry on the surface of the soil. In the growing season, the amount of water can be increased appropriately, and it can be irrigated once in the morning and evening to ensure that there is no stagnant water. Reducing the amount and frequency of watering in winter, water control is beneficial to flowering. Stop watering when the temperature is below 10 ℃ to avoid frostbite.

In spring and autumn, organic fertilizer dies every 20 days, with a balance of elements, root irrigation or leaf spraying. Don't apply fertilizer when the temperature is too low in winter.

Note:

Time to change basin

Changing the pot of Oncidium is usually after flowering. The seedlings of Oncidium should be chosen before the growing period, such as when the weather is cool after early spring and autumn. When changing pots, change large pots or part of the soil according to the growth of the plant.

Watering method

Summer needs to pay attention to shade, when the temperature is high, it should be cooled in time. In the midsummer season, water is watered once a day and thoroughly, that is, water flows out from the bottom of the flowerpot. Usually, the soil is watered when the soil is half dry.

When will it blossom?

The flowering period of Oncidium is generally in the middle of October every year, and its flowering period is relatively short, beautiful and beautiful, and there are many varieties of flowers, which are very ornamental.

However, because of various species and different growing areas, the florescence is different and there is no fixed florescence.

Oncidium is an important raw material for potted flowers in the world.

Third, how to reproduce?

1. Ramet propagation

Oncidium is a compound-stemmed orchid, which will grow into seed plants after maturation. we need to wait for these plants to grow false bulbs, and then cut off the seed plants, usually cutting off the false bulbs with two buds. This can be directly planted in a basin with water moss, and the air humidity needs to be higher, which can promote the false bulbs with buds to grow new buds and roots more quickly.

This method of ramet propagation is usually carried out after Oncidium blossoms or in spring or autumn.

2. Tissue culture and propagation.

When using this method of propagation, the buds from the minister of Onciolange are needed. First, 70% alcohol is used to disinfect the surface of the buds. After disinfection, the buds are cleaned with sterile water, cut thinly and inoculated on the previously prepared medium. Maintain a certain warm environment, usually more than 20 days later will grow new buds, and roots, about 100 days will grow two or three leaves, this is a complete seedling.

However, the technical requirements of this kind of cultivation are relatively high, and we are not commonly used in daily flower cultivation.

3. Aquatic culture

This kind of training method is also very technical. Oncidium's aquatic culture needs to be cultivated in a professional hydroponic flower base for more than half a year, so that Oncidium can grow aquatic roots and can fully adapt to the still water environment. It is also very beautiful to plant Oncidium in the water, and it is very beautiful and generous to put it in the family environment or the working environment. The aquaculture of Oncidium will become a new trend in the future.
