2. temperature. The temperature requirement is quite high, and the suitable growth temperature is 20-30℃, and the growth will stop below 13℃. The lowest temperature in winter should not be lower than 10℃, otherwise the base of the plant will rot and the whole plant will die. When the temperature is higher than 30℃, we should pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling.
3. Humidity. In the growing period, the principle of "dry but not wet" should be mastered when watering the tiger orchid. When new plants germinate at the root neck in spring, water should be appropriately increased to keep the soil in the basin moist, and no water should be accumulated in the basin in rainy season. Usually you can scrub the dust on the leaves with clean water to keep them clean and bright.
4. water. Hupilan also has a high demand for water, is drought-tolerant and can adapt to harsh environment, so it can't be watered too often, otherwise it will cause root rot, so it can be watered more in spring, but there can't be water accumulation. Generally speaking, if the soil is loose, it needs to be watered twice a week, but it only needs to be watered once in winter because of the climate.
5. soil. The soil of Populus euphratica must be loose and breathable, otherwise it will make it difficult for water to evaporate and lead to root rot. Change the pot every two years.
6. Fertilize. Hu Pilan doesn't require much fertilizer, so pay attention to thin fertilizer and apply more fertilizer. Generally, Devodo series liquid fertilizer with the ratio of 1:400 is applied once every 10~ 15 days to ensure vigorous growth. Stop fertilizing in winter, or use Devodo bio-organic fertilizer (granules) to bury it shallow along the edge of the flowerpot without liquid fertilizer.
7. Flowering. Here, it should be emphasized that flowering Hupilan is relatively rare, that is to say, not every plant will bloom, nor will it bloom every year. It may only bloom once every few years or even once every ten years, so it takes patience and perseverance to plant this kind of flower. Careful care may actually bloom.
8. Reproduction. Ramet method: almost all varieties of Hupilan can be rameted by ramet method, which is usually carried out in spring combined with changing pots. The method is to cut the overgrown leaf cluster into several clusters, each cluster should have a section of rhizome and sucking buds besides leaves, and then pot them separately. Cutting method: when the temperature is above 65438 05℃, the yellow-edged or silver-striped variety Hupilan can be cut. The method is to take 5- 10 cm long leaves, dry them a little, and then plant them in the sand. When cutting, it must not be reversed. Pay attention to keep a certain humidity, and they can take root in a month.
9, pests and diseases, Hubei orchid common diseases mainly include leaf spot and anthracnose, at this time can be sprayed with 50% carbendazim for treatment; Common pests are harmed by weevils. At this time, each bag of mirex 1 kg water can be sprayed.
