How to identify rare orchids by leaves

Check the leaves: this fake method includes rubbing or even scraping the edges or raised veins of the leaves, causing certain damage, and even drawing lines on the leaves with pigments; Or pretend that orchids with poor growth or even diseased spots are "exotic leaves" or "spotted" plants.

The method of cracking is to carefully check whether the leaves are intact, whether there is dirt pollution, whether the patches or yellow parts can still carry out photosynthesis, and whether they are healthy and shiny. Otherwise, it is suspected that the leaves are fake and pretend to be famous orchids.

In addition, flowers, roots, plants and varieties can also be identified.

1, check the flowers: This method of counterfeiting is to cut the flowers of rare orchids, insert them in the reed head of ordinary orchids or between two leaves, and fix them with glue. Or inject chemicals into the orchid reed head to make it bloom white flowers. The reed head of this orchid usually rots. Only by careful observation can we see whether we can find subtle clues.

2. Check the roots: cut the roots of other orchids into the roots of rare orchids without roots and pretend to be healthy and rare orchids for normal sales.

3. Check the plants: In this case, it is common to sell young orchids as short orchids or sell yellow-leafed orchids as "spotted" plants.

4. Check varieties: In this case, other flower varieties similar to orchids are sold as orchids. In this case, it depends mainly on the root. The roots of orchids are mainly fleshy roots as big and round as chopsticks. Others, such as Ophiopogon japonicus, are fibrous roots, and the roots of Cynanchum multiflorum and Cymbidium hybridum are twisted and thin.
