On the soil or rocks at an altitude of 300 meters to 1,200 meters in a cold and humid environment, you will see such a plant. The flowers it blooms are very strange and unique, like a small pocket. It has a unique appearance, so it also has a very nice name. There are also some things that require special attention when breeding, so let’s take a look!
1. Lighting
1. Light
In seasons with relatively high temperatures and strong light, shading should be carried out. Shading 80% of the light and spraying water on the leaves in the morning and evening can make the leaves more shiny. , can also reduce the incidence of Paphiopedilum. In winter, it needs to be given enough light.
2. Soil
Its effects on The soil requirements are very high. The culture soil must have good drainage function to ensure that the roots will not be deprived of oxygen. If the area where Paphiopedilum is produced is very dry and has relatively little rainfall, then the soil must be sufficiently moist.
3. Watering
Use Water the flowers with soft water. If you can use rainwater to water the flowers, the effect will be better. However, do not water too much or allow water to accumulate in the basin. Otherwise, bacteria in the basin will increase, causing the Paphiopedilum to rot until it dies. When the temperature is low in winter, the water temperature will also be very cold. At this time, the water taken out cannot be used to water the flowers directly. It must be left for a period of time or heated so that the water temperature is not so cold before watering the flowers. In summer, you can use a watering can to spray, which can also increase the humidity in the air. Not only cannot water accumulate in the basin, but also in the leaves, otherwise the leaves will rot.
4. Fertilization
Fertilization Always follow the principle of less but more diligent. Only the larger plants of Paphiopedilum can be fertilized more. The choice of fertilizer is generally the finished fertilizer on the market. For example, organic fertilizer can make it grow lushly. Correct fertilization can make Paphiopedilum grow more lushly. If you fertilize enough, the plant will develop sufficiently and will bloom soon, but if you don't fertilize enough, you will have to wait another year to bloom.
5. Repotting
Timely and diligent repotting can allow Paphiopedilum to grow better. You can change the pot every two years. If you have the energy, it will be better to change the pot once a year. When repotting, be careful not to damage the plant tissue. If you accidentally pull and break it when repotting, it will become infected with Pythium. It is recommended that you use charcoal powder for prevention.
