Cultivation methods and precautions of Hedinglan

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: Crane orchid likes warmth, and the specific suitable range is between 18 and 25 degrees. Since it is afraid of cold, it is safer to keep the temperature above ten degrees during the winter, and the minimum should not be lower than six degrees. In addition, since it will hibernate, the temperature should not be too high.

2. Light: The crane orchid does not like light very much, but it cannot be in complete darkness either, as it will affect its growth to a certain extent. Therefore, generally speaking, a semi-shaded place is the most suitable. When there is mild astigmatism, it can be allowed to receive light, but it must be shaded in summer.

3. Watering: Crane orchid likes moisture. In addition, it also has requirements for the humidity of the air. Therefore, not only do you need to keep the substrate moist, but you also need to spray some water on it from time to time. However, when the plant is dormant, the humidity should not be too high.

4. Fertilization: The growth trend of the crane orchid is relatively fast, so it needs to be fertilized regularly. Generally speaking, the interval can be two weeks or three weeks, and liquid fertilizer is mainly used.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by division and can be propagated in large quantities. In spring, it is more appropriate to carry out. Generally speaking, for a vigorously growing plant, it can be divided every two or three years. After taking out the plant, clean the soil around the roots and separate the plant from the pseudobulb. After that, just plant them separately without damaging the bulbs.

2. Repotting: Repotting can be done once a year or two years. Similarly, the best time to repot is in winter. Generally speaking, it can be done together with division. The soil used can be humus, river sand, or a mixture of peat soil, moss and other materials.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: During the rainy season, a common disease is "white silk disease". In addition to using lime and other preventive measures, more ventilation is also needed. There will also be "anthracnose", which can be prevented and controlled with Bordeaux mixture, spraying once every half a month.

2. Pests: There is mainly one type of pests, called "orchid lice", which can be brushed off with a brush or sprayed with pesticides.
