Seeding technique

Sowing method

February orchid can be sown in two ways: sowing and drill sowing. The row spacing during drill sowing needs to be 15 ~ 20 cm. After sowing, it needs to be turned over and buried with tools. If conditions permit, it can be sown with special tools or machinery. However, no matter which method is used for sowing, it needs to be leveled and suppressed in time

Sowing period

The best sowing date of February orchid is August, which can not exceed September and 10 at the latest. If it is sown late, small seedlings are easy to cause overwintering death

Seeding rate

2 g / m2, drill sowing can save about 20 ~ 30% of the sowing amount compared with sowing. If the soil preparation quality is good, the soil fineness can relatively save the sowing amount

Strictly control the sowing depth

Shallow sowing is appropriate. When the moisture content of seedlings is guaranteed, the sowing depth can be 1-2 cm, and the sowing depth of plots with poor moisture content is 2-3 cm

Maintenance skills

Soil

February orchid has low requirements for soil. Loose and fertile sandy soil with good drainage is preferred. Potted February orchid has relatively high requirements for basin soil. Mix 6 parts of garden soil, 1 part of plant ash and 2 parts of perlite evenly, and place sufficient base fertilizer in the basin

Illumination

February orchid is a plant with short sunshine, so the sunshine time every day is not too long. It can be illuminated indoors with scattered light

Temperature

February orchid is cold resistant, and the most suitable temperature for growth and flowering is between 15 ~ 25 degrees

Fertilization

In February, Lanxi is fat, and sufficient fertility can promote its flowering and fruiting. Fertilize 4 times a year. Flower bud fertilizer in early spring, strong fertilizer after flower withering, strong fruit fertilizer after fruit setting and strong seedling fertilizer before winter

Insect diseases

Common pests include aphids, snails, Pieris rapae, leaf miner, etc. If pests are found, drug control must be carried out in time< span>
