How to grow the beautiful crown orchid

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: 20 to 30 degrees is generally suitable for its growth. It is not very cold-resistant, so it is not widely distributed in the north. If you grow it in a place with cold winter climate, you need to place it in a greenhouse or keep it indoors.

2. Light: It likes semi-shady environment, and diffuse light can meet its growth requirements. In order to make it grow better and bloom more, place it under mild light. When encountering strong light, block it. Generally speaking, shade is only required during the summer.

3. Watering: The Beautiful Crown Orchid likes moisture, but it is best not to water it to the point of water accumulation. In addition, the water used should be slightly acidic, otherwise its roots will easily rot. Furthermore, the best time for watering is in the morning or evening. It is not suitable to water at noon.

4. Fertilization: It requires more fertilizer and can be fertilized once every two weeks. You can use farmyard manure, dilute it, and pour it along the edge of the flowerpot, but avoid getting it on the leaves.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: One method that can be used is tissue culture, which is more suitable for large-scale reproduction and cultivation. After the seeds are taken out, they are placed on a petri dish and then induced to germinate. Afterwards, transfer the buds to the culture medium to induce clustered buds, which are then continuously divided and subcultured for proliferation and differentiation.

2. Repotting: Since the beauty crown orchid has strict requirements on soil quality, it is best to change the pot regularly if you grow this flower at home. Generally once a year or two years. There are many restrictions when choosing new soil. Not only the air permeability and fertility should be considered, but more importantly, the pH value. Acidic soil is best. In addition, do not damage the root system when removing the plant from the pot or putting it back into the pot.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Diseases: There are many common diseases. For example, "white rot" and "anthracnose". Generally speaking, the frequency of various diseases is relatively high in summer and autumn, and they can be prevented in time and treated when discovered.

2. Pests: Types include scale insects, etc. Households can use substances such as alcohol to eliminate them, or spray pesticides to prevent and control them.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: There is no record of it being toxic. In addition, it can also be used as a medicinal material.

2. Can it be raised at home? Yes, but its distribution range is relatively narrow and it is basically only found in the south.
