The breeding method of goldfish Cymbidium

Goldfish hanging orchid, as its name implies, is like a goldfish. Whenever it is in full bloom, its red flowers are like goldfish jumping in the blue waves. Such a wonderful potted plant is really worth cultivating!

Goldfish orchid is a very popular potted ornamental plant in recent years, with emerald green leaves, strange flower shape, dilated abdomen, shaped like orange-red small goldfish, extremely lovely, is a very good ornamental plant. So, how do goldfish orchids reproduce?

The propagation of goldfish Cymbidium can be divided into three methods: sowing propagation, split propagation and cutting propagation. However, because the seeds of goldfish orchid are not easy to obtain, the method of sowing is rarely used to propagate, and the method of cutting is commonly used to propagate.

The method of top branch cutting or stem cutting can be used in cutting propagation. It can be carried out all year round, and it is best to do it indoors after flowering. Cut the annual branch treaty 10-15cm, keep 3 Mel 4 leaves, remove the basal pairs of leaflets, and insert them into the sand. Cover with glass or plastic film, control the temperature at 20 ℃, and maintain high air humidity. Rooting can be achieved in about 3 to 4 weeks. Two months after survival, the heart is removed to promote more branches, to facilitate more flowers, and then it can be planted on the pot. The seedlings did not bloom in the first year, and red flowers spit out in the axils of the leaves at the end of the weeping branches after 2023.

Goldfish orchids are propagated by cutting. In spring and autumn, the length of branches is about 10 cm, and 3 to 4 nodes are cut as cuttings, which are inserted in a bed with coarse sand as substrate to maintain high humidity and temperature of about 20 ℃, which is easy to take root and survive.

Cutting propagation is divided into top branch cutting and stem cutting. The cutting propagation of goldfish orchid can be carried out throughout the year, and it is best to carry out indoor propagation after flowering. Cut the annual branch treaty 10~15cm, retain 3 Mel 4 leaves, remove the basal pairs of leaflets, insert them into the bed made of river sand or vermiculite, maintain high humidity and stable temperature, cover the cuttings with glass or plastic film, control the temperature at 20 ℃, and maintain high air humidity for about 3 to 4 weeks.

After taking root and surviving, it is necessary to strengthen the maintenance and management of goldfish orchid, promote the growth of new branches, and start to pick the heart two months after survival to promote more branches to benefit more flowers. After 1 Mel for 2 months, it can be planted in the pot. The seedlings did not bloom in the first year, and orange-red flowers spit out in the axils of the leaves at the end of the weeping branches after 2023.

When the flowers are in full bloom, the orange flowers are particularly attractive, one by one hanging on the branches, with green leaves, like little goldfish playing in the water plants.
