Digging up a rare orchid worth 300 yuan - sell it or not?

Promote Chinese orchid culture, spread orchid knowledge

I live in a remote rural area. In the countryside, there is no shortage of anything except flowers, grass and trees. Although the local farmers do not have the money to buy cars or build Western-style houses, as long as they are a bit diligent, they can go into the mountains to dig up some medicinal herbs or wild vegetables to sell, and they can still make some money. Having enough to eat is not really a problem.

Recently, while a farmer was digging medicinal herbs in the mountains, he saw two orchid plants with dragon eggs. A boss from out of town saw them and offered 300 yuan for him to sell them to him, but he refused to sell. I think everyone is very curious about what kind of orchids these are, right? Let us take a look.

1. A red-leaf Ji orchid with a big clump of dragon eggs

2. A thin-skinned dwarf grass with dragon eggs

Some people think 300 yuan is not a small amount. Although these two orchid plants have some special characteristics, they are still just gamble grass after all, and it is not certain that they will produce any precious flowers. Besides, the farmer lacks experience in growing orchids. These little orchids will take at least 4.5 years to bloom. In that case, it really puts him in a difficult position. Most people might end up killing them halfway through. Many suggestions are that it is better to sell them. First, he will not kill them in his own hands; second, 300 yuan is not a small amount either.

The editor personally thinks that these two orchids are very distinctive. Indeed, good mountains and good water produce good plants. It is also a kind of luck for the farmer to dig up such precious flowers and plants. But the farmer has little experience in growing orchids. If he kills them, it would instead be a pity for these two orchids. It would be better to hand these two orchids to professionals to grow. If they really produce precious flowers, the farmer will also have done a meritorious deed.

Having said that, the editor here will teach everyone a few tips for growing orchids.

Tip one: cleverly control the moisture of the orchid soil.

Tip two: give appropriate nutrients during the flowering period, and apply fertilizer appropriately.

Tip three: when the flower scape grows to 10 cm long, you can appropriately change the position of the light.

Have you all remembered these small tips? I hope they are helpful to you who love growing orchids.

Growing flowers suits many people and is not very limited. There are also quite a few people who like flowers. I think people, like flowers, do not know how long they must wait before they can bloom into delicate and beautiful flowers. Growing flowers appropriately can cultivate the mind and character. Orchids are a good choice for us. Of course, for fellow beginners at growing flowers, you should prepare in advance, learn more, consult professionals more, and then grow such an orchid. I hope your orchid blooms into beautiful flowers and gives off a charming fragrance. Author: Rural Old Ge
