How to make Moran bloom
As a traditional and precious orchid variety in China, Moran is deeply loved by flower growers for its elegant flower appearance and elegant aroma. However, many flower lovers often encounter the problem of plants not blooming or having a short flowering period during the maintenance process. This article will systematically analyze the necessary conditions for flowering of Cymbidium and the key points for flowering management from environmental control to maintenance details. Temperature control: The key to creating the best growth environment for Cymbidium flowering lies in temperature management. The temperature difference between day and night needs to be maintained at 8-10℃, and 25℃ during the day and 15℃ at night are ideal. Special attention should be paid to cold protection during the flowering period in winter. When the temperature is lower than 10℃, it is recommended to move it indoors and use a pot insulation method: place the cultivation pot into a large flowerpot, and fill the gap between the two pots with moss or foam particles. Light management: Balancing light intensity requires 4 hours of scattered light every day, and you can directly contact the sun before 9 o'clock in the morning and after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Use a sunshade net to filter 50% of the light during strong light periods, which can be judged by the status of the leaves: the leaf color is yellow and green, indicating excessive light, and if the dark green is dark, the light needs to be increased. Scientific water control: Accurately grasp the watering amount during the flower bud differentiation period (October to November), implement the principle of "alternating dry and wet": the substrate surface is dried by 3 centimeters before watering thoroughly, and cooperate with the pot knocking method to listen to the sound and identify the humidity. When watering, inject it slowly along the wall of the basin to prevent water droplets from staying in the center of the leaves. It is recommended to use a long-spout pot with rainwater at pH 6.0 -6.5 for irrigation. Nutrient supply: Staged fertilization plan applies orchid special fertilizer (N-P-K=7-9-5) every 20 days during the growth period (March to September), and applies potassium dihydrogen phosphate (1:1500) during the bud appearing period. Self-made organic fertilizer needs to be completely decomposed: mix bean cake, bone meal, and egg shell at a ratio of 3:1:1, seal fermentation for 60 days, and then dilute 50 times for use. Guidelines for fine maintenance during the black orchid period, maintain a constant temperature of 18-22 ° C during flowering, and maintain the air humidity of 60%-70%. Pay attention to ventilation when using the humidifier and open windows twice a day (avoid direct air vents). Solid fertilizers were discontinued and foliar spraying of alginate (1:2000) every 10 days was replaced. Cut off residual flowers in time when found and retain 2cm flower stems to prevent infection.
After mastering these maintenance tips, it is recommended to establish a maintenance log to record changes in temperature and humidity, and coordinate with regular rotation of the flowerpot (45° each time) to ensure uniform light reception. Through three years of systematic observation, it was found that the flowering rate of scientifically maintained Cymbidium can be increased by 80%, and the longest flowering period can be extended to 45 days. As long as you follow the laws of plant growth, every orchid farmer can harvest a full room of fragrance.
