Industry generally believe that the hairy crabapple spring grafting is difficult to bloom that year, fall grafting into a higher string of flowers. In fact, the spring grafting as long as the method is appropriate, not only can the year of flowering, and plant type is much fuller than the fall grafting. Practice two years, most of the winter buds and flowers. Now summarized as follows:
One, spring grafting culture soil should be loose, rich in organic matter, good ventilation and drainage. Anvil stakes selection of full cactus palms, on the pot to bury the soil does not fall to the extent that the planting of watering, to ensure that the temperature of the room or greenhouse conditions, about 20 days or so will be rooted, rooting can be grafted (palms on the pot that is grafting can also be, but the effect is a little worse). Grafting time to flower into the dormant period when the most favorable. The scion is huge, generally have 4, 5 branches, each branch 5 sections or more, so that after supporting the growth, artificial pressure landscape, the year can be molded.
Two, spring management after grafting into life, at the end of the dormant period of the hairy crabapple orchid, into the first rapid growth period of the year. Out of the room management to promote the main, can be composted liquid fertilizer (raw materials for the cake, fish water, composite fertilizer) thin application several times, when the season will be able to grow a molded umbrella-shaped branches.
Three, summer management summer, hairy crabapple orchid into the growth retardation period. At this time, high temperature and rainy, can be outdoors with a plastic shed, to prevent continuous rain caused by anvil stakes rot. Sheds can also be placed at intervals on the grass shed or linoleum blocks, both cooling, but also weaken the light intensity. At the same time to stop fertilizer, more foliar and ground sprinkling, to ensure its smooth summer and continuous growth.
Four, keep buds and flower promotion technology wood autumn hairy crab claw orchid into the second peak period, and has a short day conditions for flowering. Its pre-growth will continue to give birth to new stem nodes,
late flower bud differentiation into pregnant buds. As the two alternating periods have no clear boundaries, in order to ensure that the current year's flowering, must give up the stem node growth. Give weak light, keep dry (no water, no fertilizer), only a small amount of leaf sprinkling, not to make the flat stem dehydration and wilting can be, late autumn to increase the insulation measures (into the greenhouse at the right time), until there are some individual stem nodes buds, can be watered as appropriate. To be more than half of the stem section buds, the interval of half a month to apply two strong fertilizer, to ensure that the flowers are colorful. Another technique to promote flowering is also simple and easy to implement. After the fall will have been over the summer pot flower slightly control fertilizer, in mid-September after the short sun treatment. Daily 9-17 hours for the light time, the rest of the time are not allowed to see the light, generally two months to bud. This treatment is not only a large amount of flowering, and flowering time is greatly advanced.
