How to manage the gentleman s orchid after it blooms?

Clivia. It is a common foliage plant, with arrow-shaped leaves and plump branches, which is very suitable for indoor farming. For many people who like to grow the orchid, they are very concerned about whether the orchid will bloom and whether it will produce seeds.

The flowering of the Monarch Orchid is a very exciting thing because its flowers are bright and beautiful, and they are very attractive. However, not every plant blooms as desired. The flowering period of the orchid is generally relatively short, only about 2-4 weeks, and its flowering time is relatively fixed, generally in spring or autumn.

In addition to proper light and temperature, the flowering period of the orchid will also be affected by other environmental factors, such as moisture, fertilization, etc. If the cultivation conditions are not ideal, the chances of flowering will be smaller.

As for whether the orchid bears seeds or not, it depends on whether the flowers are pollinated successfully or not. The flowers of the orchid are usually self-pollinating and can also be dispersed by insects. After successful pollination, the flowers will gradually wither and the inflorescence will develop a bract-like structure that contains seeds.

The bracts then gradually swell and become strong. Under the right conditions, the bracts will split open, revealing the seeds. If you are interested in planting Orchid seeds, you can collect these seeds, treat them properly, and plant them to create a brand new Orchid plant.

In general, the orchid is more likely to bloom and bears relatively few seeds. If you expect the orchid to bear seeds, you need to promote flower pollination in the right environment and conditions, and carry out seed collection and planting.

After flowering, the orchid will produce seeds, usually cut off the flower stem after flowering to prevent its seed phenomenon, because the seed reproduction is relatively slow and will affect the growth of the orchid after flowering, the orchid usually sends out the seed buds from the stem, when the seed buds have 2-3 root systems, they can be removed and planted.

After flowering, the orchid can be repotted or not repotted to loosen the pot soil, and the appropriate amount of compound fertilizer or long-term base fertilizer should be buried after the loose pot soil, which is conducive to the nutrient supplement of the flowering orchid, and do not bask in the sun after loosening the soil to prevent dehydration, which can be placed in an indoor sunny and ventilated place. Usually watering should not be too wet to prevent moisture from rotting and dying.

When the seeds of the orchid grow and mature, the skin turns red and is very soft when pinched, it means that it has grown mature, and it can be pruned off.

It takes about 9 months from the beginning of growth to maturity, and if the time is short, the survival rate of the seeds is low after sowing.

After cutting, it is left to dry, and sowing can only begin after 2-3 days.

It usually blooms in the second year.

If you want to raise the Junzi Orchid to bloom, many flower friends feel the same, it is not possible to get 3 or 4 years of hard work, but there are also flower friends who have reported that the Junzi Orchid that has been raised for more than a year still blooms, which makes many flower friends envious, we don't doubt that this is indeed the case, they have exclusive cheats, let us study and study together.

If you want to raise the Junzi Orchid to bloom in more than a year, you only need to remember five words in the cheats: soil, fertilizer, water, light, and temperature, which is very simple. Let's learn these five moves of the gods, and you can also become a martial arts master after learning.

01.Earth. It is best to use coniferous soil for potting soil, because this soil is very close to the nutrient soil composition of the origin of Orchid, which is suitable for the growth habit of Orchid.

Coniferous soil flower friends know that its porosity and air permeability are very good, and it also has a certain amount of organic matter and trace elements that can be absorbed by Junzi Orchid.

02.Fat. Chase liquid fertilizer all year round, and apply liquid fertilizer with moderate intensity every half month.

What is liquid fertilizer? It is fermented soybean cake water, freshwater fish water, etc. This can make the Monarch Orchid grow leaves in winter and roots in summer, which greatly shortens its growth cycle, which is the most important trick.

03.Water. Whether the nutrients in the soil can be absorbed by the orchid depends on whether these nutrients can be dissolved by water, at this time the water we water should be treated, that is, use an iron pot to fill tap water, and then put a permanent magnet in the iron pot, and the watering water can be placed in the light for 2 days, which can be used to water the orchid.

04.Light. Junzi orchid likes weak light exposure, suddenly placed in the strong sun exposure, placed behind the curtain in summer to scatter sunlight, which is conducive to the early growth of Junzi orchid.

05.Lukewarm. In the previous article, I said to flower friends that in order to make the orchid bloom, the temperature difference is very important, that is, the temperature difference between day and night is best about 10 degrees, so if the temperature difference is not large, keep it warm, it is difficult for its flowers to bloom.

If flower friends want to raise a one-year-old Junzi Orchid to grow about 10 leaves, and want to make it bloom and bear fruit the next year, this martial arts cheats have to be practiced.

Fine sand, rotting oak leaves (crushed), perlite mixed at the end of the year to make a substrate, after disinfection, use a shallow pot, put the Junzi orchid seeds in the pot, cover with the substrate (half a centimeter thick) compacted, water thoroughly, keep the temperature above 25 degrees, often keep it moist, (note that the high temperature water is perishable) can generally germinate.

1.When the orchid blooms, it will have fruit pods, and when it wilts, there will be seeds inside.

2.If you want to keep the seeds, don't cut off the stems, let it bloom naturally, and let the seeds ripen slowly.

3.Pinch the fruit when it is about to ripen, if the texture is firm and there is a sound when pinching, it means that the sedan chair is about to ripen, just take out the seeds.

4.In addition, during its flowering period, the nutrients consumed by the sail fiber are relatively large, and it is necessary to timely fertilize and replenish the nutrients to promote its recovery as soon as possible.

To grow buds, the plant must grow for about three or four years, with more than 12 leaves, that is, 6 pairs of symmetrical leaves, and then under the right climatic conditions, it will grow buds and open beautiful flowers.

In the natural environment, the orchid generally begins to grow buds around November, and blooms around New Year's Day to the Spring Festival, and the flowering period can be as long as about 30 to 50 days.

In order to ensure that the orchid grows buds and blooms, the following three points must be done well in the maintenance process, otherwise it will be difficult to bloom.

The first point: the light temperature should be appropriate.

Orchid is a tropical plant that is both resistant to heat and cold, and is suitable for growing in a semi-shady environment.

When the temperature is too high, it is necessary to do proper shading treatment, maintain the light transmittance at about 40%, and control the temperature of the environment at about 18 28, which is conducive to the differentiation of flower buds and the normal growth of plants.

The second point is that the supply of nutrients should be sufficient.

Junzi orchid likes fertilizer, and before giving birth to flower buds during the flowering period, it is necessary to ensure that the supply of nutrients is sufficient.

In the growing period, the application of well-rotted liquid fertilizer along the edge of the potting soil watered, can not splash the fertilizer liquid on the leaves, fertilization 1 2 days after the appropriate amount of water to dilute the fertilizer effect, about 24 hours before fertilization do not water, to avoid too much water caused by water accumulation, resulting in root rot.

The third point: the appropriate amount of watering should be kept moist.

The roots of the orchid have a certain drought tolerance.

Before and after flowering, the amount of watering should be reduced, and the potting soil should not be too wet or too dry when watering, and the watering principle of "seeing the dryness and seeing the moisture" should be followed, so as to keep the potting soil moist and not damp, and keep it moist and not waterlogged.

If you use household tap water, you must first put the tap water into a pot and put it for more than 48 hours before using it, otherwise it will affect the normal growth and flowering of the Gentleman's Orchid.

After extracting the buds, the orchid needs to be placed in a place with sufficient scattered light to allow it to have suitable light. It is also necessary to apply fertilizer such as bone meal or fermented fish offal, soybean cake water, etc., and pay attention to less nitrogen fertilizer. And to do a good job of temperature control, it is best to control the temperature between 15-20 at this time, so that the flowers will be more vivid and beautiful after flowering.

1. Suitable lighting

After the orchid extracts the flower buds, it needs to have suitable light, so that it can fully photosynthesize, and then when it blooms, the flowers will be more beautiful and bright, it likes to grow in a semi-shady environment, so it can not be exposed to strong light, only need to have enough scattered light.

2. Reasonable fertilization

After the orchid is extracted from the flower buds, it should be applied with a bone meal or fermented fish offal, soybean cake water and other fertilizers, which can make its flower color bright and the flowers increase, if the nutrients are insufficient, its flower color will become lighter, and pay attention to less nitrogen fertilizer when fertilizing, and stop fertilizing after the plant blooms.

3. Temperature control management

After the orchid extracts the flower buds, it also needs to do a good job of temperature control management, if the temperature is not suitable, its flowering effect will become worse, at this time it is best to control the temperature between 15-20, so that its flowers will be more lush, and it is also necessary to pay attention to the temperature difference between day and night to maintain about 8, so that it can better store and digest nutrients.

When does the Monarch Orchid bloom.

Junzi orchid is commonly known as Chinese orchid, spring orchid, orchid, orchid, peilan, mountain orchid, national fragrance, air friend Liangju Guxian, Xiangzu flower, generally described as a gentleman. The common cultivation method of Monarch Orchid is soil culture. Soil culture allows plants to absorb nutrients from the soil, supplement fertilizers, and also allow plants to absorb them.

Therefore, soil culture can maintain the Gentleman's Orchid for the longest time. Orchid likes warm weather and grows at a temperature of 20-25 degrees. If the indoor temperature is above 15 degrees Celsius in winter, it can continue to grow.

It generally blooms in November-December and generally blooms for 20-30 days. Orchids usually die in January-February.

Treatment method after flowering.

After the orchid blooms, it is necessary to prune first, cut off the residual flowers and old leaves on it, loosen the densely overlapping branches and leaves, and then loosen the flower soil and take away the residual flowers and leaves that fall in the pot. After that, water every four days or so to keep the soil slightly moist until it recovers.

1. Prune. After the flowers of the orchid wilt, the first thing to do is to prune. Excessive nutrients are consumed during flowering. The old leaves can be cut off in time, and the leaves that are too dense can be thinned to reduce consumption and help them regrow.

2. Watering. When it blooms, it can be watered with a small amount of water. When the soil is dry, it can be watered once to make it permeable. Generally, it should be watered once every 4-5 days. After each watering, it needs to be cured in a ventilated place.

3. Fertilization. After flowering, you can apply flower fertilizer appropriately to provide nutrients for it. But it should be noted that the amount of application should not be too much, it should be thin and diligent. If fertilizer damage occurs, recovery can be affected.

How to raise a gentleman's orchid with more flowers.

Orchid should be watered appropriately to keep the soil in the pot moist and not damp. If there is no need for watering on a rainy day, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer is generally used, which can promote the germination of side buds, increase the number of flowers, and effectively prolong the flowering period.
