How to find good orchids on the mountain? Home flower-growing tips

To collectorchidsand good orchids, you must pay attention to the following points: 1. Look at the mountain. If you see many China firs, many moso bamboos, or planted forest, or severe cutting and clearing, do not enter this mountain; mountains where cattle and sheep have beenorchidsare also very rare. 2. Entering the mountain. Mountains and water are connected; if the mountain has broadleaf forest and also moso bamboo, and the trees and bamboo grow well and are rarely damaged, the low shrubs and grasses are not dense, and there is a large water channel leading into the mountain, you can enter this mountain. 3. Direction. When entering the mountain, remember the direction in which the sun rises; no matter which mountain you move around to, remember that east-facing mountain hollows generally have moreorchids. Of course, there are also special cases. 4. Orchid location.Chinese cymbidiumgenerally grows in places closer to water and more humid, near the middle of the mountain, but it also grows in areas near the mountaintop, and also on slopes or on slopes that are relatively open and flat.Goering cymbidiumgenerally grows between the middle and the top of the mountain, in drier places, and in places where the mountain is relatively high.Four-season orchidis more flexible,Faber cymbidiumandGoering cymbidiumare found in similar places. 6. Good orchids. Once you find a patch of orchids, there is often a fine specimen among them, so you must search carefully; do not overlook under dead trees or among grass and leaves either. Those growing under large trees, with roots entangled with tree roots, may have distinctive features. Those growing under or near cliffs often include fine specimens. Damp, gloomy places often hide fine specimens too. Places with snakes and other relatively dangerous conditions also often have good orchids. 7. Feeling. Encountering good orchids is also often related to feeling; it seems to be a matter of fate as well, obtained without any effort, something that can only be sensed, not explained. However, in practice I have found that theorchid's growth is also greatly related to the mountains and waters, terrain, climate, trees and so on of each place; it is not something a single formula can be applied to. Only by relying on experience plus feeling can you get twice the result with half the effort. In addition, I have found that after finding a good orchid in one place, wanting the good dream to come true again is almost impossible. Perhaps this is heaven's will: a good orchid can only grow a little in one place; if there is more, it loses its value. After I dug up good orchids such as golden-edge golden-striped, silver-edge silver-striped, silver-striped, scape upon scape, Crystal Dragon, dwarfFour-season orchid, and Tycoon (round-tipped broad-leafed dwarfChinese cymbidium) and others, I repeatedly revisited the old spots many times, hoping good things would come in pairs, but the result was wasted effort. Among the above seven points, the first two are the most important. If you misjudge the mountain and enter the wrong mountain, that day's time may be wasted completely, and you will be tired half to death, utterly exhausted.
