When does the orchid Tie Gu Su bloom? Blooming period introduction
Orchids have been loved by Chinese people since ancient times, and have always been regarded as a symbol of purity and elegance, ranking fourth among the top ten famous flowers. Generally, orchids are easy to grow, but not easy to bloom. Here is a brief introduction to a variety of Cymbidium ensifolium, Tie Gu Su, and its care methods.
1. What is Tie Gu Su
Tie Gu Su, also known as Qiu Su, is a high-quality plain-hearted flower variety of Cymbidium ensifolium, very suitable for growing at home. Tie Gu Su has stiff, straight, lean leaves, pure and flawless flowers, and a clear, mellow, elegant fragrance. It is a fine specimen among orchids. Tie Gu Su is robust by nature, propagates quickly, is easy to care for and manage, and is not too expensive.
The blooming period of Tie Gu Su is in the two seasons of summer and autumn, and it blooms irregularly. Unlike wild Tie Gu Su, which can bloom two or three times a year, artificially cultivated Tie Gu Su, although easy to grow, does not bloom very easily. This is caused by it leaving the natural environment it loves, and by care methods that differ slightly from its living habits.
2. How to grow Tie Gu Su
Although artificially cultivated Tie Gu Su does not bloom easily, if cared for properly and its wild growing environment is simulated, blooming every year is not difficult. Here is an introduction to how to grow Tie Gu Su well.
1. Appropriately increase light. Light is a necessary condition for the chlorophyll in orchid leaves to carry out photosynthesis and accumulate nutrients. Appropriately increasing light can promote the differentiation of flower buds.
2. Reasonably increase phosphorus fertilizer. The element phosphorus can promote well-developed roots and the development and formation of reproductive organs. Using slow-release phosphorus-potassium fertilizer can meet its continuous nutrient needs, laying the foundation for Cymbidium ensifolium Tie Gu Su to bloom.
3. Pay attention to reasonable division of clumps. Tie Gu Su especially likes to grow in clusters. A single plant or a small number of plants makes it hard to bloom, while if grown in clusters, blooming is somewhat easier.
4. Pay attention to water control during the flower bud differentiation period. Normally, watering should not be too frequent, and during its flower bud differentiation period, watering should be even less, so that the flower bud differentiation of Tie Gu Su speeds up.
5. Appropriate rain exposure. With appropriate rain exposure, orchids will visibly grow more vigorously. After rain exposure, they must be quickly aired out so that no accidents occur.
The above is some little knowledge about Tie Gu Su. Tie Gu Su is now also highly praised in the orchid world. I hope all friends who love growing orchids can grow more beautiful orchids, outstanding and elegant in their own right.
