Planting techniques of potted orchids in family

Chlorophytum is not only an excellent pendent foliage plant in the room, but also a good indoor air purification flower. Chlorophytum has a very strong absorption of toxic gases, so chlorophytum also has a "green purifier" laudatory name. The most prominent feature of spider plants is that mature plants occasionally grow stems, flower pavilions are slender, longer than leaves, and drooping; racemes are simple or branched, and sometimes clusters of 2-8 cm strips of leaves grow on the upper nodes of the inflorescence. Flowers bloom in spring and summer, and indoors in winter. Let's learn about the method of planting spider orchid together with Xiaobian.

Sexual preference warm and humid, semi-overcast environment. It is adaptable, drought resistant and cold resistant. Do not choose soil, in loose sandy loam growth better. Light requirements are not strict, a boat suitable for growth in moderate light conditions, but also resistant to weak light.

In addition to winter temperature is too low to be suitable for plant division, other seasons can be carried out. Potted 2-3 years of plants, in the spring when the pot will be dense seedlings, remove the old culture soil, divided into two to several clusters, respectively potted into new plants. Chlorophytum can also be propagated by small plants on the stem. In the growing season, the small plants on the stems are cut off, planted in culture soil or water, and transplanted into pots after the small plants grow roots.

Chlorophytum pot commonly used moldy soil or peat soil, garden soil and river sand equal mix and add a small amount of base fertilizer as substrate. Change the pots every 2-3 years and recondition the culture soil. Its fleshy root water storage tissue developed, drought resistance is strong, but 3-9 months growth peak period water demand is larger, to often water and spray, in order to increase humidity.

Nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer, but Jinxin and Phnom Penh varieties should not apply excessive nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the line spots on the leaves will become less obvious. Chlorophytum like semi-shady environment, such as the place where the light is too strong or insufficient, the leaves will easily become light green or yellow-green, lack of life, lose its ornamental value, and even die.

Indoor cultivation of spider orchid should pay attention to the following 8 points:

1. Substrate: Chlorophytum has strong adaptability to various soils and is easy to cultivate. Available fertile sandy loam, humus soil, peat soil, or fine sand soil plus a small amount of base fertilizer for potted soil.

2, reproduction: usually with the division of the plant method of reproduction, in addition to the winter temperature is too low is not suitable for division, other seasons can be carried out. Can also be cut flower stems with air root seedlings potted another culture.

3, light: hanging orchid happy semi-shady environment, can be cultivated in bright indoor all the year round. Often cultivated indoors, should avoid direct sunlight, need to cover 50~70% of the sunlight. In this way, it can grow luxuriantly and the leaves are beautiful.

4, temperature: spider orchid high temperature resistance. The suitable growth temperature is between 15-30℃, and the winter overwintering temperature is above 10℃.

5, humidity: like humid environment, in order to make the spider fresh and green, you can often spray water to the leaves.

6, watering: hanging orchid love wet environment, pot soil easy to keep wet often. However, the fleshy roots of the crane can store a lot of water, so they have strong drought resistance and will not dry up for several days without watering. Winter 5 degrees below, less watering, pot soil not too wet, otherwise the leaves easy to yellow.

7. Fertilization: Liquid fertilizer is applied every 2-3 weeks during the growing season. Variegated varieties should apply less nitrogen, otherwise white or yellow markings on the leaves will become less visible. Stop fertilizing when the ambient temperature is below 10 ° C.

8, pruning: usually cut off yellow leaves at any time. May turn over the basin once a year in March, cuts off the old root, the rotten root and the redundant fibrous root. Cutting off some of the old leaves in the early and middle of May will promote the germination of more new leaves and small spider plants.
