May I ask why the little tiger Piran inserted by the Phnom Penh Tiger Piran leaves does not have Phn

There are many varieties of tiger pill orchid, there are dwarf, there are very tall grown, there are Phnom Penh, there are yellow hearts, the most common in the market is the tiger pill orchid of Phnom Penh, the maintenance of the tiger pill orchid in Phnom Penh is also relatively simple, its breeding method is mainly through the ramification or cuttings of propagation, if we use the leaves of the tiger pill orchid of Phnom Penh to take cuttings, he will grow out of the seedlings will not take Phnom Penh, that is, the atavism, so we want to cut the Phnom Penh tiger pill orchid, get the Phnom Penh tiger pill orchid, the method of cuttings is not reliable at all, it's hard to make it still have Phnom Penh. If we want Phnom Penh's tiger piran to keep Phnom Penh all the time, we can only multiply it by dividing it.

The so-called branch is that we raised the Phnom Penh tiger pill orchid to raise a pot, it completely burst the pot, the pot can not be filled after we go to change the pot for it, change the pot at the same time with the branch, break its various plants, divide it into several parts of cultivation to different pots, and then raise them to raise the pot, the growth is not a problem, the pot is very simple, so that a pot can become more pots. But we must remember that there is a thick rhizome at the bottom of the tiger pill orchid, we cut it from the middle of the rhizome connected by the two tiger pill orchids, and after the incision, the wound is smeared with carbendazim or plant ash, and then put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry, generally for 2 or 3 days, drying is to prevent wound infection, and it will not grow roots after planting.

Directly heal the wound, infect the soil with bacteria or fungi will lead to rotten, dry the wound thoroughly and then plant, it will grow roots directly will not be a problem. As long as the wound is dried and planted, you can directly water him, and then the watering can take root, which is very simple.

For Phnom Penh Tiger Piran, it is a variety of Tiger Piran, if we use leaf cuttings can grow roots, can grow buds, but after cuttings propagation, Phnom Penh Tiger Piran seedlings will appear atavistic phenomenon, that is, become ordinary Tiger Piran, if you want to breed Phnom Penh Tiger Piran, you can only through the method of dividing. Raising tiger piran we must be equipped with good air permeability sandy soil, the easiest way to use river sand and nutrient soil, such as humus soil, according to the ratio of 1:1 to mix well, river sand will sieve the powder, planting tiger piran is very easy to use, the usual maintenance process of the pot soil dry to water it thoroughly, regularly supplement it with 1 2 times of fertilizer a month, fertilizer as far as possible to choose with multi-element fertilizer supplement, so as to ensure good ventilation under the premise, you can raise tiger orchid can grow very fast.

A few seedlings are planted in a large pot, and they can be completely raised in a year, but it is in a dormant state in the northern winter, and the temperature is low in the winter, and it is in a dormant state, so we must put it in a sunny place to ensure that the potting soil is slightly moist, and it is best not to water it in a winter, and do not fertilize it, even if the leaves are slightly shrunken and pumped, but in the spring we water and fertilize and then keep up, and we will soon be able to recover, so that there will be no problems in winter. This is also a small detail that needs to be paid attention to in the maintenance of tiger piran.

After the tiger pill orchid cuttings grow, why is there no Phnom Penh? Here's why.

Tiger piran is native to North Africa, where the climate is hot, and long-term growth has formed a growth gene that is sensitive to cold. If you choose to propagate in winter, it will not only affect the normal growth of the mother plant, but also cause the failure of sucking buds to take root, resulting in the failure of ramet. Tiger Piran does not have high requirements for soil, only has three characteristics: loose, breathable and slightly acidic.

If you choose sticky, compact, coarse and alkaline soil for branch propagation, it will hinder the respiration and rooting of the bud, and in serious cases, there will be decay, and finally lead to the failure of branch propagation.

The structure of the tiger pill orchid through transplantation has changed, causing Phnom Penh to degenerate.

It is likely that there is a lack of nutrients, properly supplement some nitrogen and potassium fertilizers to promote the growth of plant rhizomes, and place them in a ventilated place with regular watering.

Because the tiger pill orchid is suitable for ramification. Propagation by cuttings is only suitable for varieties with leaves without golden yellow borders or silver veins, otherwise the yellow and white markings on the leaves will disappear and become an ordinary variety of tiger piran.

Dividing propagation method: generally combined with spring repotting, the overgrown leaf cluster is cut into several clusters, each cluster in addition to the leaves, but also a section of rhizome and bud sucking, respectively, on the pot planting.

Phnom Penh and spotted leaf varieties of tiger orchid, the seedlings propagated by leaf cuttings are green seedlings, and the Phnom Penh and spotted leaf lings disappear, for these varieties should not be propagated by leaf cuttings, and can only be propagated by ramets.

Phnom Penh tiger tail orchid once propagated by cuttings, the cultivated seedlings often do not see its most striking Phnom Penh, the original Phnom Penh is a very special chimera color spots, can not be unconditionally inherited.

Chimeric colored spots are different from nuclear genetic colored spots, such as the white stripes on watermelon peel pepper grass, which can be stably inherited from cuttings or tissue culture seedlings; It is also different from cytoplasmic genetic color spots, such as geraniums often have plastid variations, resulting in green and white spots on the leaves, this color spot is also relatively stable, and seedlings with color spots can be obtained by cuttings. It is more different from the heredity of non-chimeric colored spots, such as the markings on the leaves such as cold water flowers and spotted begonias, which are separated by the epidermal cells on the underside of the leaf shed tissue, forming a bubble-like tissue, which shows color differences under scattered light, because it is genetically homogeneous, whether it is cuttings or tissue culture seedlings, the markings on the seedlings will not disappear.

The genetic inheritance of colored spots in chimeras is complex. Among them, the distinguishing chimera is relatively stable, while the peripheral chimera and the periphery distinguishing chimera are prone to interlayer substitution and bud transformation, showing the instability of the color spot traits, just like the leaves of the Phnom Penh tiger tail orchid, which is green in the middle and golden yellow on both sides, and the gold edge is mutated from the inlay. The cells in the mutated markings have different heritability from the cells in the original green part.

Thus, the plantlets regenerated by the green part have a green color, while the plantlets regenerated by the markinged leaf cuttings disappear with Phnom Penh. The fundamental reason is that the cells in the yellow part do not contain chlorophyll, and the ability to carry out photosynthesis and self-made nutrients is poor, and the ability to regenerate is much lower than that of the green tissue part, resulting in interlayer substitution.

In view of this, if we want to obtain a plant with stable Phnom Penh traits, the only way to propagate it is to adopt the dividing method.
