Introduction of Yu Fenglan
Yu Fenglan was appraised by an expert of orchids such as Lang Yiyong of the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His scientific name is Habenarialuci da wall.exLindl., which is one of Yufenglan. Founded in August 1992 in Gaozhou City. The ground plants are about 50cm, and the flowers are thirty or forty, and more than sixty. The flower shape resembles a crested head. On both sides of the "Crested Head", there are two petals that follow the back and the top, like the ears; the mouth is not fully open, the tongue is half-extending, and the tip of the tongue is topped with a scorpion. The throat is slanted behind and suspended under the item. When the flowers are full, the layers are stacked and interlaced with other organs. The whole plant is like a delicate pagoda.
Yufenglan "Fengtou" has various forms such as flat extension, extension, and subduction, and looks like a group of phoenix trees and wants to fly separately. It is called the wonder of the orchid world.
Cultivation Techniques of Yufenglan
Yufeng Lanxi cultivates substrates with good drainage performance, such as peat soil, vermiculite, perlite, fine bluestone, rock wool, finely divided bark and coconut fiber, and the species originating from limestone areas are also added to the matrix. A small amount of alkaline medium, such as limestone, oyster powder or broken eggshells. If it is a perishable substrate, it is best to change the pot once a year to avoid plant death due to matrix decay, but it needs to be carried out during the dormant period. It is forbidden to transplant during the growth period.
The size of the potted pot is determined by the size of the root. Generally, a small pot with a diameter of 8 cm to 12 cm is suitable. When planting, the roots should not be buried too deep. After planting, the water can be poured once, and the substrate should be kept dry to avoid the roots from germination and decay. It is not until the temperature rises around the Ching Ming Festival in the following year that watering begins and the substrate is kept moist. After the sprouts grow, it is best to give a half-sunlight growth environment, and apply one long-acting slow-release fertilizer at the beginning of the growth, or apply the thin organic liquid fertilizer once every 2 weeks until the flower buds form, but when fertilizing Keep away from the roots and avoid fat damage. During the growth period, there is a common hazard, and it is the most embarrassing during the rainy season in early summer. It is necessary to spray the drug at the right time. Do not wait until the flowering is done. If there is no special need, it is still necessary to water the flowers after the flowering, and the watering can be stopped until the leaves begin to wither, causing them to go to sleep. It is usually not necessary to dig up the roots for storage. Simply move the pots to a dry, rain-proof place, and then move the pots or divide the balls in the spring.
Yufenglan prefers a well-lit environment. It is best to accept direct light before noon. When the light is sufficient, not only the plant is more robust, but also the flower is better. Because Yufenglan has underground roots, the cultivation medium needs to be well-drained to avoid the roots rot due to long-term humidity. It can be planted in a three-in-one medium (cultivated soil or peat soil + pearl stone + vermiculite), and the water is allowed to be The bottom of the basin flows out. If you buy the ready-made flowering plants at the flower market, don't rush to discard the plants after the flowers are finished. You need to water them normally until the leaves turn yellow. You can reduce or stop the watering. After the ground is dry, the underground roots will be dug. Stored in a zippered bag and placed in a cool place. After the tuber has been germinated (about 3 to 4 months per year), it is removed and planted. It is also possible not to harvest the roots and let them sleep in the original pots, and then manage them after the spring sprouts erupt.
If cultivated properly, the underground roots will proliferate every year. As long as the germinated roots are planted separately (using more than 3 pots), new plants can be obtained.
Yufenglan is easy to cultivate and does not occupy space. It is suitable for cultivation on window sills, balconies or indoor light. Her cultivation management method is similar to that of general half-day grass flowers. Even gardening novices can be planted successfully.
