Why do the Jianlan leaves I bought look like the leaves of Molan?

The growth habit of Jianlan is similar to that of Molan, but Jianlan mainly grows in the valley walls of deep mountains and valleys, and there are many Jianlan on the slopes and stone crevices with good water permeability and moisture retention.

Differences in morphological characteristics.

The biggest difference between Molan and Jianlan in terms of morphological characteristics is the leaves, which can be easily distinguished by the leaf characteristics. The leaves of the Mo Lan appear to be wider, whereas the leaves of the Jian Lan are narrower. If you look at the leaf bone from the backlight, you will find that the accessory veins of Jianlan are relatively transparent, while the accessory veins of Molan are dark green and not very transparent.

The difference in flowering period.

The flowering period of the orchid is from October to March, and the flowering period of the orchid is usually from June to October.

The cultivation and management of Jianlan is the same as that of ordinary orchids. The requirements for flower pots are not high, the diameter of the flower pot is about 20 cm, the height is about 25 cm, as long as the pot bottom has a drainage hole, it can be used to plant Jianlan. Jianlan likes 3-5 seedlings gathered in a pot, apply a little trium fertilizer, conducive to growth, conducive to strong seedlings, conducive to flowering, generally not suitable for single seedling planting.

Although a single seedling can tiller new seedlings, it is not conducive to growth, and single seedling planting does not bloom. The basic requirement for orchid flowering is that three plants are conjoined and five leaves must flower.

Orchid pot planting material configuration. The bottom of the orchid pot is filled with small stones or broken tiles to one-third of the height of the pot, and the planting material is selected from the fire soil and peanut shells or pond mud to be dried into blocks and knocked into granules. Its fire soil particles are the best.

Light is the key to the growth of orchid seedlings, which determines the yellow-green leaf color and the height of the plant shape. The light is too strong, the leaves are yellowish, and the orchid seedlings are strong and short; The light is too weak, the leaves are dark green, and the orchid seedlings are slender and tall. The suitable shade of light is 65%-75%.

On the indoor table, it should be close to the window, but not in direct sunlight. to prevent scorched tails. Maintain ventilation to prevent germs from entering.

Orchid pot humidity. Although the orchid appears noble, it is necessary to overcome the psychology of being too spoiled, pay attention to its growth rules, and watering must be mastered to see dry watering, not dry and watering, and watering thoroughly. Observe whether the orchid pot should be watered, and take the hand touching the orchid soil not sticky, or the orchid soil has just seen white as a reference.

When watering, it is necessary to ensure that the whole pot is evenly watered and watered thoroughly to ensure that the root direction is evenly distributed. You can use a large basin to fill the water, and then place the basin in the water to let the water seep through the hole in the bottom of the basin.

Hello, maybe it's the variety.

Jianlan: terrestrial plants; The pseudobulb is ovate-shaped and enclosed within the leaf base. Leaves 2--6, ribbon-shaped, shiny, 30-60 cm long, cm wide.

The flowering period is usually from June to October. Born under open forests, in shrubs, beside valleys or in grasses, it has high horticultural and herbal value.

Mo Lan is much bigger than Jianlan.

The biggest difference between Molan and Jianlan is the secondary vein on the leaf, the secondary vein of Jianlan is more transparent when observed from the leaf bone, while the secondary vein of Molan is opaque and dark green.

Jianlan blooms in summer and autumn, while Molan blooms in winter and early spring. The leaves of Jianlan are narrower and thinner, and the leaves of Molan are wider and thicker.

The main ways to distinguish are as follows:

1. The difference in appearance: Mo Lan is a wide leaf, and Jianlan is a thin leaf.

2. The difference between the secondary veins is that the secondary veins of the leaves are more transparent, while the secondary veins of the Molan are opaque and dark green.

3. The difference in flowering time: Jianlan blooms in summer and autumn, while Molan blooms in winter and early spring.

4. The difference from the leaves: the leaves of Jianlan are narrower and thinner, and the leaves of Molan are wider and thicker.
