Preservation method of Edible Fungi and Analysis of Leaf wrinkle of Cymbidium

Sometimes flower friends will encounter the leaf wrinkle of Cymbidium and think that it may be caused by improper maintenance. in fact, this phenomenon is mostly related to varieties, such as Finch orchid, Henglan and so on. It will not affect the healthy growth of Cymbidium in the future. There are also many articles on the Internet about the causes of leaf wrinkle of Cymbidium, but most of them are different opinions. Let's take a look at a more comprehensive analysis.

This article is extracted from Mr. Liu Xiaozhong's "Identification, appreciation and cultivation skills of Changchun Magnolia"

There are too many reasons for the wrinkling of the leaves of Cymbidium. 30 years ago, Cymbidium seldom pleated, perhaps because of the size of the quantity, only the dyeing factory sometimes appeared wrinkles longitudinally, but not dead folds. Some people call it "railway orchid". In the past 10 years, the pleating rate of Cymbidium has gradually increased.

Over the past 10 years or so, some people say that pleating is due to hypertrophy, others say that it is due to lack of water, and still others say that the temperature is low. I have done experiments, and the experiments have proved that we can still make pleats even if we don't give a little bit of fat, so we can negate hypertrophy, put it in the best temperature zone and in the middle of summer, and we can also make pleats even if we permeate water once a day. Can it be said that it has anything to do with water? Therefore, none of the above reasons can be established.

What if a beautiful orchid plant is pleated? Do everything possible to save it. Those who hold the view of hypertrophy: lose weight. Those who hold the view of low temperature: warming. Those who hold a small view of water: increase the amount of water. But none of them worked. While there was no way, some people came up with a way to think that pleating was "tight", that is, the leaf sheath was wrapped too tightly, so they made bold sacrifices, simply cutting the leaf sheath with a knife, then splitting it to both sides, and then fixing it with a rope. As a result, the pleats are still beaten in the same way (some people clip arrows in the same way).

All of the above has been seen by the author, and more than one person has done so.

The power of seed germination can not be underestimated. No matter how hard the land is, you have to take root and grow leaves, and the leaves stretch out quickly when you see the sun. Can the leaf sheath of Cymbidium restrict the normal growth of leaves? It is so unnatural that even if the leaflet is trapped and does not stretch in the leaf sheath before it is stretched out, the leaf should gradually unfold after it grows, but this is not the case. The cubs of some large animals have to run with their mothers in order to survive, and their bodies are very big. It is also inconceivable that their mothers can also give birth to them, but it is natural that they must be born. This is normal. It seems that the pleating of the gentleman orchid is not caused by external causes.

Organisms have evolved in the same direction of better survival, and if not, this species will be eliminated. The existence of species is "natural selection". Among the materials we can see, observing the shape of wild magnolia, although it is not as good-looking as the variety we improved and bred, it is not as ugly as pleating. I think those bad nature has eliminated it a long time ago.

In cross breeding, although hybridization is complex, it is not messy, so it is necessary to follow certain laws, otherwise it will be eliminated by nature. The pleating of the magnolia is probably the disaster caused by the wrong hybridization.

It can only be said here that it is very likely that the words are not very certain. After years of observation, I found that the proportion of pleating is related to the shape: the pleating rate is inversely proportional to the length of petiole (neck), that is, the shorter the neck is, the higher the pleating rate is; it is directly proportional to the degree of head circle, that is, the higher the pleating rate is; inversely proportional to the size of the body, that is, the larger the body is, the lower the pleating rate is; it is inversely proportional to the ratio of length to width, that is, the larger the ratio is, the lower the pleating rate is.

If the above observation is correct, then the excessive pursuit of short, ultra-wide and ultra-small neck may be the reason for the pleating of gentleman orchid.
