Analysis of Sanlengjian, Cactus, and Yexian Grafted Zhanzhua Orchid
Today, let's introduce the content about the succulent plant Sanlengjian. This is an analysis of Sanlengjian, Cactus, and Yexian grafted Zhanzhua orchid. Let's take a closer look together.
Recently, I've been active on forums, discussing with plant enthusiasts and analyzing the pros and cons of Sanlengjian, Cactus, and Yexian grafted Zhanzhua orchid as follows:
1. Yexian
The Zhanzhua orchid grafted with Yexian has a good growth trend. However, during the transition from autumn to winter, Yexian enters dormancy, and the nutrients within Yexian are limited. The lignified parts are numerous (with less water and nutrient content), while the Zhanzhua orchid is already forming buds, requiring a large amount of nutrients. Before the heating starts (about half a month), symptoms such as bud drop and Yexian shrinkage appear (in the north, the climate is dry, and Yexian often dries up significantly), making it somewhat difficult to ensure that the Zhanzhua orchid blooms in the north. This is one of the main reasons why there are few online pictures of Yexian grafted Zhanzhua orchids in bloom; support is needed, otherwise, it cannot form properly.
2. Cactus
The growth of Zhanzhua orchid grafted with Cactus is similar to that of Yexian. During the transition from autumn to winter, the Cactus still has enough nutrients to support the Zhanzhua orchid's needs. Moreover, Cactus almost never enters dormancy. Above 10 degrees Celsius, and especially after the heating starts, its main drawback is rapid aging and difficulty in forming (finding a tall Cactus is indeed challenging, they grow slowly, and must be supported).
3. Sanlengjian
During the non-dormant period, the Zhanzhua orchid grafted with Sanlengjian should have the best growth, which can be described as rapid. During the transition from autumn to winter, it has a large amount of nutrients, which has no effect on the Zhanzhua orchid's bud formation and blooming. The nutrition can be considered rich (supporting until the heating starts, when Sanlengjian ends its dormancy), and it does not age easily. However, Sanlengjian is not very cold-tolerant, and there is a risk below 5 degrees Celsius with root growth. Friends without heating in the north should use it cautiously.
Summary: Cold tolerance - Cactus > Yexian > Sanlengjian
Growth - Sanlengjian > Yexian > Cactus
Blooming - Sanlengjian > Yexian > Cactus
Formation - Sanlengjian > Yexian > Cactus
Affinity - Sanlengjian > Yexian > Cactus (the affinity between the palm and finger is better)
