Introduction of Orchids and Their Varieties (Orchid Appreciation)

Orchid is a succulent plant with gorgeous flowers. Its flowers can be spherical (composed of many star-shaped florets), and its leaves have different shapes. There are many kinds of light bulbs. Next, several common orchid varieties in life are introduced.

Let me talk about a few particularly beautiful potted orchid varieties:

1，Hoyacarnosajade

Green leaf bulbs are more suitable for beginners. This is the most common type of light bulb. Its leaves are oval, and they will grow very thick. It likes soft scattered light. If the temperature is not high in spring, autumn and winter, you can give more light to make its plants grow faster. To maintain potted bulbs, we should not only avoid frequent water supply, but also pay attention to maintaining high air humidity and good ventilation. If it is in a sultry environment, it is particularly humid.

The maintenance difficulty of light bulbs is relatively low, and they are all suitable for indoor window sill maintenance. Even if there is only about 3 to 6 hours of soft scattered light every day, they can grow and bloom normally.

Orchids can grow by climbing vines or be maintained in vertical pots. For example, on the east or south windowsill or balcony, the leaves are drooping. You can also set up a flower stand in a flowerpot and let it climb and grow. However, it should be noted that the growth rate of bulbs is relatively slow, so you must be patient when maintaining them.

The pot soil for planting bulbs should be loose, breathable and well drained. Generally, bulbs can be planted with coarse-grained peat soil mixed with granular stones (medical stone, ruby soil, deer marsh soil, diatomite or volcanic rock, etc.). ) According to the ratio of 65,438+0: 65,438+0, and adding a little slow-release fertilizer properly, root rot can be avoided.

In order to avoid frequent water supply, bulbs can be watered in time when the soil is 3 cm dry in the spring and autumn growing season, and watering should be controlled when the summer temperature is high (above 33 degrees) and the winter temperature is low (the minimum temperature should be kept above 5 degrees).
