Pearl orchid cultivation methodZhulan, also known as Jinzulan, is a plant of the Chrysopogonaceae family and the Chrysopogon genus. Zhulan can be propagated by cuttings, division, and layering. Pearl orchid generally grows in areas with an altitude of 150-990 meters. It prefers a warm, humid and ventilated growing environment. It is not resistant to direct sunlight and likes shade. It is suitable for planting in loose, fertile, humus-rich and well-drained soil. When growing indoors, place the pearl orchid in a bright, diffused light location to avoid direct sunlight. Water it appropriately during daily care, keep the potting soil slightly moist, and take warming measures in winter. As for the culture soil, it is best to choose loose, breathable, and well-drained humus soil. Watering methodThe root system of Pearl Orchid is relatively weak, so generally you cannot water it too much, but you cannot water it too little either. Note that in spring, it is only necessary to water it once a day. If it is in the hot summer, you should consider watering it once in the morning and evening. If it is in the drier autumn, you should also spray some water on the leaves frequently. Fertilization methodFor Zhulan, it is important to grasp the timing and temperature when fertilizing. Fertilize frequently during its growth period so that the flowers will bloom better and the fragrance will be stronger. Fertilizers can generally be considered to be human feces and urine. If it is not convenient, cake fertilizer can also be used. Pruning methodsThe stems and branches of the Pearl Orchid are relatively weak, so we cannot let it grow continuously, otherwise it will easily fall to the ground. When the Pearl Orchid is still a seedling, we should start pinching the tips to allow it to grow more branches. When we encounter old leaves, we should also be careful to remove them. Precautions for pearl orchid cultivation1. During the growth period of pearl orchid, there will be insect pests, the most common ones are aphids, red spiders, and scale insects. When insect pests occur, it is necessary to spray pesticides in time to kill them. 2. The pearl orchid is relatively shade-tolerant and suitable for growing in semi-shade. It cannot tolerate strong light, and shading measures need to be taken in summer, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and wither, and its ornamental value will decrease. 3. The temperature in northern regions will drop sharply in October, so the pearl orchid should be placed in an environment with sufficient light in time. The potting soil should be kept moist, and the air should pay attention to the humidity. The room temperature should be kept above 15 degrees. If it is lower than 5 degrees, the plant will be frostbitten. |
