Tiger pi orchid is a very beautiful ornamental flower, is a perennial herb, also known as tiger tail orchid, a wide variety of varieties, different varieties of tiger pi orchid its leaf shape, leaf color are slightly different, more common is the phnom penh tiger pilan, silver vein tiger pi orchid, as well as white jade tiger pi orchid, and dwarf leaf tiger pilan.
Tiger pilan although there are many kinds, but no matter which one variety has a very beautiful, unique plant type, elegant atmosphere, no matter what kind of decoration style, placed on a pot of tiger pilan, not obtrusive, in the display of the owner's home taste at the same time, there is a strong purification ability, according to the survey learned that a pot of robust long-leaf tiger pilan can purify a 10 square meter room about 70%, not only can purify the original harmful gases in the air, stagnant dust, but also purify the toxic gases left by the decoration and second-hand smoke, It has great benefits for the human body, is a set of ornamental and practical use of ornamental flowers, and tiger pilan almost does not get sick and pests, the requirements for ventilation are not high, suitable for indoor maintenance.
Tiger Piran is relatively good, not easy to die, but if you want to make it grow strong, new shoots every year, maintenance also needs some tips, now is the cold winter, the following we will share the basic maintenance of Tiger Pilan, and winter maintenance methods, winter tiger Piran, to achieve "1 more than 2 control", spring "new shoots" emerge in an endless stream, let's take a look at it!
Tiger pilan is very adaptable, relatively speaking, it is a good plant, the soil requirements are not high, home maintenance, that is, ordinary garden soil planting can also grow, but if you want it to grow strong, more new shoots, as soon as possible to grow a large pot, or to use loose and breathable soil, choose the right pot, pot and soil is the basis for its growth, use well, it is extremely beneficial to its later growth.
Tiger pilan this plant, the root system is divided into two kinds, the main rhizome is thick fleshy roots, in addition to the fleshy rhizome, there are many linear roots, and its new shoots are from the thick fleshy roots grow out, the thicker these fleshy roots, the easier to produce new shoots, and its flesh is horizontal growth, there is a certain water storage capacity, plus its leaves are also fat to store water, which caused tiger pilan, natural drought tolerance and fear of water, water is easy to rot roots, water control dry breeding is more conducive to the growth of its root system, So when we choose a pot for tiger pilan, we should use a slight caliber, not too deep pot, if it is for the sake of plant beauty, want to use deep pot planting, it is recommended to sweep more pottery or broken tiles at the bottom of the pot, which can not only increase drainage, but also more conducive to the growth of the root system.
To tiger pilan with soil, to meet the characteristics of breathable, permeable, light fertilizer, the simplest way to match the soil is garden soil, humus soil, river sand or vermiculite in a 1:1:1 ratio of the preparation, after the mixing, and then add one-tenth of the soil organic fertilizer as the bottom fertilizer (to decomposed cake fertilizer or sheep manure is the best), of course, you can also use ordinary nutrient soil and then add 1 part perlite 1 part organic fertilizer, so that the prepared soil, not only can promote its growth, but also conducive to the later water control, the growth of tiger pilan is extremely beneficial.
It is now winter, the temperature is low, is not conducive to the growth of tiger pilan, so the maintenance method, compared with the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, must also change, must meet the "1 more than 2 control".
1, more light
Tiger Pilan is naturally light-loving, in a well-lit environment, the leaves are more hypertrophied, the texture is clearer, and more love to shoot, as long as there is sufficient moisture, that is, the summer high temperature season, can also not shade, sufficient light is the basis for its growth.
Many people raise tiger pilan, raise and raise on the branches and leaves are soft, crooked east and west, can not stand upright, mostly because of insufficient light caused, tiger pi orchid this plant, nature likes light, but can also tolerate short-term semi-shade, can not long-term lack of light, otherwise the longer the weaker, slowly lose the ornamental value, very ugly.
In winter, the temperature is low, the light is weak, the tiger pilan is more sunny, sufficient light, can make its branches and leaves more robust, more photosynthesis, more nutrients, can improve its hardiness, after a winter of cultivation and recuperation, it can quickly resume growth in the spring, how long small buds, proper maintenance, but also flowering, fresh and elegant, fragrant and pleasant.
Above we have already said, tiger pilan root leaves have a certain water storage capacity, natural drought tolerance is afraid of water, water will rot roots, usually maintenance can not be too much watering, the general soil forty or fifty percent dry watering once, water control dry nutrition is more conducive to its growth, winter, low temperature, slow evaporation, tiger pilan growth will be much slower, the demand for water is less, so then the day must control water, control hands, less watering, more conducive to its safe winter.
Winter tiger pilan, must strictly abide by the principle of "see dry and wet", the soil is about 50% dry and then watered, you can also wait for its leaves to be slightly soft and then watered, so dry, so that its root system can not be frozen, improve its cold resistance, if the soil is too wet, the temperature is low, the root system is very likely to frostbite, root frostbite, and then want to raise it is difficult, so in winter must control water, can not be ignored, if the temperature is less than 10 degrees, you can completely cut off the water.
2. Fertilizer control
Tiger pilan grows slowly in winter, if the temperature is lower than 15 degrees, it will enter semi-dormancy, the temperature is lower than 10 degrees, it will completely stop growing, in such an environment can completely stop fertilizer, in a low temperature environment, it is fertilization, tiger pilan can not absorb, and may damage its root system.
However, the warm areas in the south or the heating place in the north, if the temperature can be above 15 degrees, tiger pilan can grow, can also be fertilized, but affected by the solar terms, tiger pilan in the winter growth will certainly be slower, fertilization can not be as frequent as spring and summer, it is recommended that 1-2 months can be used, with compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer, of course, you can also use foliage plant nutrient solution, directly buried in the surface of the pot, or mixed into an aqueous solution, irrigation can be.
In the winter, raising tiger pilan, as long as you can do these 3 points, more sun, water control, fertilizer control, you can safely survive the winter, in the spring, the weather is warmer, and then appropriately increase the fertilizer water (can be about half a month of compound fertilizer), it can quickly resume growth, grow new shoots, and in the spring and summer, new shoots emerge endlessly, one or two years can raise a large pot.
In order to meet its growth needs, it is recommended to turn the pot of tiger pilan once a year or two, change the soil once, and then add the appropriate amount of bottom fertilizer, if the plant type is too full, you can change a slightly larger pot, or separate the plant, so as not to affect its growth. The tiger pi orchid raised in this way has thick branches and leaves, clear texture and high ornamental value.
The above is what is shared today: "Raising tiger Piran in winter, doing "1 more than 2 controls", spring "new shoots" emerge in an endless stream, I hope you like it, see you in the next period!
