What are the orchid plants
Sharing with everyone the orchid plants and the related experience of planting the top ten cheapest and easy-to-care-for orchids, the following is a detailed introduction.
Orchids have always symbolized elegant taste because they have been praised by scholars and literati since ancient times. With the rapid expansion of various orchid gardens, the cultivation of orchids has also been expanded. Especially the following 10 orchids, which are vigorous and reproduce quickly, are abundant in various orchid gardens, and therefore are very cheap and suitable for ordinary people to raise.
1. Black orchid ~ Qihei
Among the five main varieties of orchids: Cymbidium, Jen Cai, Hui Cai, Han Cai, and Black orchid, the easiest to care for is Black orchid, and the cheapest and easiest to raise variety is "Qihei". The first orchid of Meimei is Qihei, and it is because of this orchid that she got into the hobby.
The price of Black orchid Qihei is very low, as low as 3 or 4 yuan per plant, which is really a bargain. The cheapest orchid should be Black orchid Qihei, so when you buy orchids, you don't have to worry about getting the wrong version and not getting the right Black orchid Qihei.
Although the price of Black orchid Qihei is very low, it doesn't mean it's not beautiful. On the contrary, its appearance is quite good, with wide and upright leaves, like a sword standing straight; it's easy to bloom, the blooming period is from January to March every year, during the Spring Festival, so it's also called "New Year's orchid"; it has many flowers on one stem, a flower stem can have more than ten flowers, the petals are long and the color is brownish red, with a strong fragrance.
One of the particularly good advantages of木兰起黑 is that it has a strong ability to sprout new buds, that is, after the blooming period every year, many leaf buds will sprout from the base. Generally, a mother plant can sprout at least one or two new buds, and sometimes up to three or four, so if your Black orchid is originally three or four plants, by the second year, it is very likely to be more than ten plants.
2. Black orchid ~ Jinhua Mountain
This variety of Black orchid is very similar to Qihei, the most obvious difference is that Jinhua Mountain is a line art orchid, that is, the edges of the leaves have golden edges. Even when not in bloom, the leaves have excellent ornamental value.
Jinhua Mountain is as tall and magnificent as Qihei, with upright leaves like a sword, developed roots, and particularly strong vitality. It is the easiest to care for among all orchid varieties, very diligent in flowering and grass, and is an excellent choice for beginners to practice, easily achieving a sense of accomplishment.
The price of Black orchid Jinhua Mountain is about the same as that of Black orchid Qihei, both very cheap. Personally, I think it's fine to choose either of these two orchids to raise.
3. Jen Cai ~ Jinqi
Jinqi is a variety of Jen Cai orchid, a relatively beautiful line art orchid variety. The highlight of the whole Jinqi orchid plant is not how beautiful its flowers are, but that the tip of its leaves is golden yellow, graceful and lovely, and looks good no matter how it is placed.
Jinqi not only has beautiful leaves but also beautiful flowers. We all know that Jen Cai orchids are easy to grow flower buds, known as the "four seasons Jen Cai orchid". Therefore, Jinqi can not only be appreciated for its leaves but also for its flowers, with a strong fragrance and considered an excellent orchid variety.
The price of Jinqi is particularly cheap, currently about 15 yuan per plant, and buying a 4-plant cluster would cost about 60 yuan.
