How to plant Hericium erinaceus (cultivation methods and precautions of Hericium erinaceus)

Monkey face orchid, also known as monkey face orchid, is a small epiphyte belonging to Orchidaceae. Its flower shape is strange and big, and it is rich in colors. Mostly used for potted plants, hanging pots or chlorophytum cultivation, it is very suitable for green decoration of room windows, balcony walls, commercial building windows and the entrance of exhibition halls. Let's take a look at the cultivation method of the monkey face orchid!

Growth habit of Eupatorium odoratum

Eupatorium adenophorum needs a cool growth environment, which makes it difficult to spend the summer and is not tolerant to frost and cold. 10 ~ 25℃ is the suitable culture temperature. In warmer areas in the south, it can be planted in outdoor semi-shade or plastic greenhouse all the year round. In the Yangtze River basin or the northern region, it should be cultivated in a medium-high temperature greenhouse. In late autumn, winter and early spring, the temperature is not very high, so direct sunlight should be given to help plants form flower buds, blossom and bear fruit. In case of high temperature weather or summer, the humidity should be increased and covered with sunshade net to cool down, and the temperature below 10℃ should be kept warm.

Breeding method of Eupatorium odoratum

1. Substrate: Monkey-faced Xiaolong Lanxi is an acidic substrate, which requires looseness, ventilation and good drainage, and can keep the roots moist without water accumulation. Orchid cultivation substrates can generally be used. When the seedlings are put into pots, coarse-grained substrate or ceramsite with a thickness of 2-3cm is put into the pot bottom as the filter layer, and some Austrian green granular controlled-release fertilizer is sprinkled on the filter layer as the base fertilizer, and 2-3g is applied to each pot, covering a layer of substrate with a thickness of about1-2cm, and then plants are put in to separate the fertilizer from the roots to avoid burning the roots.

2, moisture: the original environment of the monkey-faced little dragon orchid is relatively dry, and it is easy to be infected by germs when the rainy days are too long. Therefore, the relative humidity in the growing period should be kept between 50 ~ 75%. When the temperature is about 20℃, just keep the indoor natural environment. When the temperature reaches above 25℃ in summer, artificial humidification is carried out, generally using fans and water curtains or using high-pressure spray system, but avoiding spraying water on the blades. When the humidity is too high, it is necessary to ventilate more, otherwise pests and diseases will easily occur. Generally speaking, the amount of water required by Eupatorium adenophorum depends on the substrate used. If you use aquatic plants, water less. When the substrate is 70% dry, water it in time.

3. Fertilizer: Eupatorium odoratum requires less fertilizer, and the general fertilizer concentration is 3000 times. During the growing season from May to June, it should be applied 65,438+0 times every two weeks, and the root zone should be irrigated with liquid fertilizer and sprayed on the leaves. The growth period is dominated by nitrogen fertilizer and balanced fertilizer, and mixed fertilizers with N:P:K=30: 10: 10 or 20:20:20 are commonly used. N:P:K= 10:30: 10 mixed fertilizer is commonly used in flowering period. It is best to apply fertilizer at night, and water it 1 time the next morning. At the same time, spray 1 time on the leaves every week at the flower bud stage, such as special flowering fertilizer for orchids, Huabao No.3, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, etc. Make the flower arrow stronger and the flower more colorful.

Propagation method of Eupatorium odoratum

1. Plant division: Generally, the plant division of Eupatorium odoratum is carried out before the germination of new buds in early spring. First, take the mother plant out of the flowerpot, remove the excess matrix, try to separate the knotted root system, and cut it from the stem base with a sharp knife. Each new plant should keep two or more plants with certain roots, and apply a brush dipped in sulfur powder or carbendazim powder to the wound to prevent the wound from being infected with germs. After dividing plants, new plants can bloom in the same year.

2. Sowing: Eupatorium odoratum can pollinate itself, but the seeds are easy to disperse, so it should be harvested in batches at the right time. Because the seeds of Cymbidium goeringii are small, they are usually planted in greenhouse in autumn, and the seedlings are raised in flat or plug plates. Seeds do not need to be covered with soil, but should be fully illuminated after sowing, and generally emerge in about 25 days. Don't water too often at seedling stage, just keep the substrate moist. At the same time, spraying 1 fungicide every week requires transplanting 2 ~ 3 real leaves at a time. When the height of seedlings is greater than 10 cm, they can be planted in flowerpots, and the sown seedlings can bloom within 1 ~ 2 years.
