Chunlan, as a leader among orchids, has won the love of many flower lovers with its unique charm and elegant attitude. In order for the spring orchid to thrive and bloom in full pots, it is very important to master the correct breeding methods and skills. Below, let's take a look at the cultivation of Chunlan.
1. Choose the right potting soil.
To cultivate Chunlan, we must first choose a pot with good air permeability and good drainage performance. Ceramic pots, plastic pots, etc. are all good options, but make sure that there are drainage holes at the bottom of the basin so that excess water can be drained. In terms of soil, Chunlan prefers fertile, loose, slightly acidic soil. You can mix humus, garden soil, river sand, etc. in a certain proportion to make soil suitable for the growth of spring orchid.
2. Control light and temperature.
Chunlan prefers a sunny environment, but too much sunlight can cause damage to it. Therefore, during the cultivation process, Chunlan should be placed in a place with good sunlight scattering and avoid direct sunlight. In terms of temperature, the suitable temperature range for the growth of Chunlan is 15-25 degrees Celsius. In winter, it is necessary to pay attention to taking warm measures to prevent Chunlan from freezing.
3. Reasonable watering and fertilization.
Chunlan prefers a moist environment, but too much watering can cause root rot. Therefore, when watering, the principle of "seeing dry and wet" should be followed, that is, watering after seeing the soil surface dry, and watering thoroughly at one time. In terms of fertilization, Chunlan needs a large amount of fertilizer during the vigorous growth period, and can be applied every 10 days or so. However, it should be noted that the fertilizer concentration should not be too high to avoid burning the roots.
Fourth, pest control.
In the process of growth, Chunlan will inevitably encounter some pests and diseases. Common diseases include leaf spot, anthracnose, etc., and the main pests are aphids, red spiders, etc. For diseases, carbendazim, chlorothalonil and other agents can be sprayed for prevention and control; For pests, insecticides such as imidacloprid and avermectin can be used for spraying. At the same time, it is necessary to keep the environment ventilated to reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases.
5. Repotting and pruning regularly.
Chunlan grows quickly, and regular repotting helps it grow better. Generally speaking, it is necessary to change the pot for Chunlan every 1-2 years. When repotting, the old soil should be removed, the dead and rotten roots should be pruned, and then repotted. In terms of pruning, in addition to removing diseased branches and leaves, pruning can also be carried out after the flowering period is over to promote the better germination and flowering of spring orchids.
6. Reproduction and conservation.
Propagation grafting is a commonly used breeding method for Chunlan, and the best season for grafting is usually spring. During the propagation process, it is necessary to select the appropriate rootstock and scion to ensure that the grafting site is tightly combined. After grafting, pay attention to keep the environment moist, well ventilated, and avoid direct sunlight. After the sprouts grow, it is necessary to carry out maintenance and management in time to ensure that the spring orchid grows strongly.
In short, cultivating Chunlan requires mastering certain methods and skills. Through the efforts of choosing the right potting soil, controlling light and temperature, reasonable watering and fertilization, pest control, regular repotting and pruning, and propagation and maintenance, I believe that every flower lover can make Chunlan bloom the most beautiful flowers in their own hands.
