Novice flower cultivation can start with Jianlan and Mulan, which are easy to raise at a low price. Spring Sword, Cymbidium and Jian Orchid in the north are more suitable for spring selection, extensive management, high temperature requirements, florescence is the severe winter season in the north, and the overwintering temperature should be guaranteed. According to the flowering period of orchids, the varieties can be matched reasonably:

For beginners to cultivate orchids and choose orchids, there are potted seedlings and bare-root seedlings on the market. Potted seedlings have purple sand pots and black plastic pots. Black plastic pot orchid seedlings grow vigorously, usually 5-8 seedlings, each seedling 2-5 leaves clustered on the oval pseudobulb, leaves erect like a sword, leaves thick, dark green, light, foil erect, sturdy, light brown, 50-80 cm high, 10 flowers per arrow, brown petals, fragrant, sorghum-sized white transparent honey spots connected with flowers and arrows, sticky, basin bottom and outside with orchid roots exposed, indicating that the basin has been serving for a long time.

There are no brown spots, rust colors, black spots, stripes and mechanical injuries on the leaves, and the leaf tips have not been trimmed. Purple sand basin in addition to the above conditions, to see whether the matrix is consistent. The orchid basin is new and bright, the matrix color is new, and there is no grass or moss in the topsoil. This is a new basin, so you should be careful in your choice.

For bare-root seedlings, such as robust growth, complete root system, no water stains and no disease spots, the leaves are longer than potted seedlings, and a clump of 3-5 seedlings can also be purchased from the end of February to the end of March. If the orchid seedling is bandaged with moss, the root system is less than 10 cm long, and the false bulb can not be bought with thin wire. Pot seedlings from early December to early March, buds should have 1 or 2 open, can tell the true from the false.

In the selection and purchase of orchid plant materials, there are two kinds of immortal soil: one mixed with broken red bricks, the other is not mixed, can be directly on the basin, it is breathable, anti-stagnant water, nutrients can be slowly released, and has a good effect on raising strong seedlings. But raising weak seedlings is easy to produce fat and injury spots. Soilless matrix water moss, coconut bran, pebbles and so on. Water moss light absorption, rapid development of orchid plants, convenient management, watering only once a month, rooting faster, white and straight, to shallow planting.

Enter the house with coconut bran in winter to prevent cold and dampness from injuring the root, but it is easy to hurt the root by watering carelessly. Stone orchid cultivation is convenient for watering, but it needs to be planted deeply, humus mixed with sand to stand seedlings with sufficient nutrients, but after the new orchids are slowly transferred to normal growth, the seedlings are strong and flowers are prosperous. Quercus variabilis leaf humus soil is good, gold stone is imported from Japan, and the cultivation effect is good.

After the purchase of orchid seedlings, it is appropriate to choose mud tile special orchid pots with a diameter of 20 cm and 23 cm, which can be planted with 2-3 clumps of spring orchids. Before planting, spread a layer of green window screen on the bottom of the basin with 3 pieces of potted slices, add 3 cm broken brick grains and charcoal, and then put in the plant material to stretch the root system of the orchid plant, and then add the plant material to 2 cm away from the basin mouth, and it is appropriate to use the soil close to the base of the leaves, so that the basin surface is in the shape of steamed bread and covered with green cloud grass or moss, using the basin bottom permeable method, the basin surface is 3 cm above the water surface, so that the basin soil is soaked, and the slow seedling is placed in a cool place for 7 days and then transferred to normal cultivation.
