Biological characteristics of Stone Olive

Stone Olive is the pseudobulb or whole plant of the Orchidaceae genus Stone Olive, which can be eaten fresh or dried. It is a perennial herbaceous plant with thick, short and creeping rhizomes. The pseudobulbs are oval or round with 2 leaves. Racemes are born at the top. The flowering period is from April to May, and the fruiting period is from November to next. February of the year. Through research on the site environment and growth characteristics of wild Shixiantao, Liu Baocai and others found that the germination period of Shixiantao buds is from July to September. If the top of the rhizome is damaged during the germination process, the germination speed will be accelerated. Under normal circumstances, it takes about a year to form a pseudobulb. If only one bud of a stone olive plant germinates, only one pseudobulb will be formed. If multiple buds germinate, multiple pseudobulbs will be formed. Generally, the size of pseudobulbs is related to the growth environment and growth conditions of the plant itself.
