What are the four major characteristics of naturally strong seedlings? Explained clearly in one go
Collected in Yingjing County, Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, this flower has a well-formed display, with relatively thick petals and leaves, and good flower retention, never curling back even until the flower fades. Its leaf type is large floating leaf, with wide leaves, the upper half bulging like a fish belly and tapering to a point! After Xuelin He, this variety is another high-end red lotus variety of Chun Jian. It is also one of the flagship varieties of the "Hometown of Lotus Petals."
Whether it is strong or not is not judged entirely by leaf width, leaf length, number of roots, or leaf color.
Any grass with strong upright growth is generally greenhouse grass grown with chemical fertilizers or hormones.
Avoid touching grass that is strongly upright, with several seedlings squeezed together and all tips sealed.
Naturally strong grass of any variety will have four major characteristics:
1. Leaf shape spreads apart in an inverted V. The wider the spread, the larger the pseudobulb, and the stronger the plant. If the pseudobulb is large, the leaf shape will definitely spread apart from the pseudobulb in an inverted V;
2. Buds emerge at an angle, and the spacing between seedlings is large. If the pseudobulb is large, the buds will definitely grow out at an angle; when seedlings emerge at an angle, the road becomes wider, and several seedlings will definitely not be squeezed together;
3. Leaves are somewhat twisted and have a woody texture. The leaf texture is thick and substantial, and any variety will be somewhat twisted. Naturally grown seedlings with good light have a woody texture and woody grain in the leaf texture, feeling hard in the hand.
4. Old seedlings have slightly withered tips. If the tips are not withered, they must have grown in a greenhouse water-curtain orchid room, not naturally grown seedlings;
Overall: The leaf shape of a pot of naturally strong seedlings looks somewhat wild and chaotic as a whole. Spread apart in an inverted V, new seedlings emerging at an angle, twisted leaf shape, slightly withered tips, hard and stiff, the whole thing will definitely look somewhat wild and chaotic.
When selecting orchids by leaf count, generally choose Chunlan with more than 5 leaves, Jianlan with more than 4 leaves, and Huilan with more than 7 leaves!
