Selected rootstock hairy crabapple orchid to graft reproduction is good. Rootstock should be used for hardy and robust cactus, especially with a 2-year-old, tall and fat black spiny cactus grafted hairy crabapple orchid growth is the most robust. Grafting time in the spring and fall can be, such as the temperature is suitable, can also be carried out in winter, but must add plastic film insulation. Generally, cacti over 20 centimeters tall can be grafted on 3-4 pieces of scion at the same time. The top 1 piece, the following 5 centimeters below the left and right 1 piece. You can choose to spend a similar period of time, flower color different varieties of each piece of l, can also choose to spend the period of time farther away from the varieties (or cactus finger) each piece of. As for the grafting method, the press has mentioned, this is not repeated.
Select soil on the pot culture soil to sandy loam is preferred. The best is the mud, humus, garden soil mixed with an equal amount (or add river sand 10%), and mixed into the appropriate amount of fermented organic fertilizer, bone meal or calcium superphosphate as a base fertilizer, but also can be mixed with a small amount of grass ash, so that the PH value is neutral. When potting, to be first in the bottom of the pot on the high l/5-l/4 broken tiles or cut into l a 2 cubic centimeters of hard plastic foam, and then filled with people culture Shi. Fertilizer fertilizer hairy crabapple orchid every year, there are two peak for a long time and two semi-dormant period, according to this growth pattern of watering and fertilizer. Spring when the temperature rises to about 19 degrees, hairy crab claw orchid into the first peak period. Watering should be from half a month, a week gradually transition to 3-5 days a time, pots to see dry and wet and slightly wet is good. At the same time, about 10 days to apply a nitrogen-based all-vegetable compound fertilizer, thin fertilizer and diligent application. Summer when the temperature reaches more than 30 degrees, the plant is semi-dormant. To stop fertilizer, less watering, potting soil see dry and wet, to dry mainly. Fall into the second peak period. This period is mainly reproductive growth, water can be slightly more, potting soil see dry and wet, to slightly wet. But the middle of October should be a little dry, in order to facilitate pregnant buds. After the buds are still slightly wet mainly. From the beginning of autumn to the full bloom before, can be talked about by the thick application of phosphorus-based all-vegetable compound fertilizer, 10 days or so once. After the buds can also be sprayed to the foliar potassium dihydrogen phosphate, to promote the flower color color. Winter bloom period stop fertilizer, water should also be less watering. After flowering, apply a nitrogen-based liquid fertilizer to supplement the consumption of the flowering period. Thereafter a period of time without fertilizer, water 10 days and a half once a month, mainly dry. In addition, because the hairy crabapple orchid like moist, whether it is the peak growing season or semi-dormant period, should often spray water to the stem and leaves, to the stem surface slightly wet and not downstream for the best. Again, in the first growth season, you can also add 0.2% of urea and 1% of vinegar to the water mixed spraying, once a week. In the fall, add 0.2% potassium phosphate and 1% vinegar. Because like half-shade, so must be in different seasons to choose a different location.
If you want to make it open on the Fourth of July, from early August every day at 4 p.m. to move it into a dark room or cover it with a black cloth, the next morning at 8 a.m. to see the light again, after the buds and then into normal management, so that in October that is to be seen in flower. If you let it in the middle and end of October natural bud, and want to let it bloom early, you can move it to 20 degrees above the place, then November can bloom; if you want to delay the flowering period, you can move to 5-8 degrees of the place, so that the growth of stagnation, when you want it to bloom, and then move it to more than 12 degrees of the place, you can restore the growth of the place, and then bloom. In addition to the above points, but also pay special attention to the maintenance of the rainy season. At this time, such as outdoor planting, must be placed in a well-ventilated and shade and rain in a cool place, otherwise the rain is too wet pots, cacti easy to rot, will be affected by the hairy crabapple orchid.
