The flower language and symbolic meaning of vase orchid?

Bottle orchid, an evergreen plant native to Mexico, looks like a big wine bottle, hence its name. Bottle orchids belong to ornamental flowers. Decorating the living room, study and hotel gives people a very novel and unique feeling. Let me show you the flower language and symbolic meaning of vase orchid.

The flower language and symbolic representative of vase orchid: elegant and elegant.

The stem of Cymbidium hybridum is vigorous and powerful, and its base expands like a wine bottle, forming its unique ornamental characteristics; Its leaves are terminal and drooping like umbrellas. It is an excellent variety of tropical foliage plants and is widely introduced and cultivated in China. Various specifications can be planted as interior decoration: small plants are planted in exquisite pots and placed on desks and countertops, which look elegant and exquisite; It is planted in medium and large potted plants to decorate halls, conference rooms and reception rooms. Very tropical, quite enjoyable.

It can bring you a personality as bright as the wind, and any difficulty is just a kind of exercise for you, so don't worry about it.

Plant morphology of cymbidium

Bottle orchid, with fleshy underground roots, upright stems and hypertrophy at the lower part, looks like a wine bottle; The bark of the cork-thick swollen stem is grayish white or brown. Leaves are attached to the top of the stem, slender and linear, leathery and drooping, and the leaf margin is serrated. The epidermis of old plants will crack and look like tortoise shells, which is quite distinctive. Leaves linear, entire or denticulate, soft and drooping; These flowers are small and white.

Cultivation techniques of cymbidium

Breeding mode

In the process of small plant growth, we should strengthen the management of fertilizer and water, apply dilute liquid fertilizer frequently, and add potassium fertilizer to facilitate the expansion and enrichment of stems. Sex, like sunshine, can be oriented all year round. Even in hot summer, leaves will not burn if they are continuously exposed to the sun. But it is not cold-resistant, and the north needs to enter the room before the first frost and place it in a warm and sunny place. The suitable room temperature is about 65438 00℃. If it is lower than 5℃, measures should be taken to prevent freezing injury. Temperate zone is between Qingming and Grain Rain, and cold zone is after long summer. Because the vase orchid is drought-tolerant, it should not be watered too much, otherwise the roots will rot easily. Spring and autumn must be dry and wet, summer should be moist, and winter soil should be watered when it is dry. In the growing season, dilute liquid fertilizer is applied every half month for outdoor cultivation; Granular fertilizer should be applied indoors to avoid air pollution. Potted plants should be made of equal amounts of fertile sand, garden soil, humus soil and coarse sand. Change the basin soil in spring or autumn every year to maintain the permeability of the basin soil. Whether you put the pot or change it, you should expose the swollen part of the base outside the soil for people to watch.

sow seeds

For tiny seeds that are difficult to pick up by hand or other tools, soak one end of a toothpick with water, stick the seeds on the surface of the substrate one by one, cover the substrate with a thickness of 1cm, and then put the planted flowerpot into water, the depth of which is 1/2 ~ 2/3 of the height of the flowerpot, so that the water can be absorbed slowly. * * This method is called "pot bubble method". For large seeds, you can pick them up by hand or other tools, put them directly into the substrate and sow them at a spacing of 3×5 cm. After sowing, the substrate is covered, and the covering thickness is 2-3 times of the seed thickness. After sowing, the sowing substrate can be soaked with sprayer and fine-hole shower, and then watered when the soil in the basin is slightly dry. Still pay attention to the watering intensity and don't wash the seeds away.

After sowing in late autumn, early spring or winter, in case of cold wave and low temperature, the flowerpot can be wrapped with plastic film, which is convenient for heat preservation and moisture retention; After the seedlings are unearthed, the film should be uncovered in time, and the seedlings should be exposed to the sun before 9:30 am or after 3:30 pm, otherwise the seedlings will grow very weakly; After most of the seeds come out, the seedlings should be properly spaced: pull out the diseased and unhealthy seedlings and let the remaining seedlings have a certain spacing; Most seedlings can be transplanted when they grow to three or more.

Seed selection: before sowing, seed selection is directly related to the success of sowing.

1, it is best to choose the seeds harvested that year. The longer the seeds are stored, the lower the germination rate.

2. Choose seeds with full grains and no deformity or deformity.

3. Choose seeds without pests and diseases.

Disinfection: Disinfection includes two concepts, one is the disinfection of seeds, and the other is the disinfection of sowing substrates. Seeds are generally soaked in hot water at about 60℃ 15 minutes, and then germinated in warm water 12~24 hours. The best disinfection method for sowing substrates is to fry them in a pot, so that any pests and diseases can be scalded to death, but for a large number of sowing substrates, fungicides should be added for disinfection.

Accelerating germination: soak the seeds in warm water 12~24 hours until the seeds absorb water and swell.

Cutting propagation method

Young cuttings are often used in late spring and early autumn, or old cuttings are used in early spring.

Cutting substrate: it is nutrient soil, river sand, peat soil and other materials used for cutting. Medium and coarse river sand can also be used, but it should be washed with clear water several times before use. Sea sand and river sand in saline-alkali areas are not suitable for the growth of flowers and plants.

Selection of cuttings: when cutting, when the plants grow vigorously in late spring and early autumn, choose the thick branches of that year as cuttings. After cutting off the branches, select the robust parts and cut them into 5~ 15 cm long segments, each with more than 3 pieces. When cutting, it should be noted that the upper cut is cut flat at about 1 cm above the last leaf node, and the lower cut is cut obliquely at about 0.5 cm below the lowest leaf node, and the upper and lower cuts should be flat. When cutting hard branches, after the temperature rises in early spring, choose the strong branches of the previous year as cuttings. Usually, 3~4 knots are reserved for each cutting, and the cutting method is the same as that of twig cutting.
