To Zhang Fan's surprise, the family who lived in the old village chief's house actually knew him and greeted him.

"Brother Fan, you are a celebrity now, we know you, what's so surprising?" said a young man younger than Zhang Fan with a smile, with a slight admiration on his face.

People of his age are especially prone to worship people. Zhang Fan's family history made him admire him very much, and he was able to accumulate a net worth of more than 100 million yuan in one year, which he thought was a legend.

However, coming to Zhangjiazhai for the New Year this New Year has nothing to do with his admiration for Zhang Fan.

"This is my grandfather, and you are the same as Brother Fan. He introduced.

Like-minded?

Zhang Fan was stunned, what kind of industry would it be to be a person in the same way as him?

looked at the old man in front of him, it didn't look like he was engaged in vegetable and fruit planting. Could it be......

"Zhang Xiaoyou was in the limelight at the bonsai fair last time!" the old man smiled.

Sure enough, it's Lan You. Playing with flowers and plants, it seems that the elderly are dominant. It is not difficult to understand that the retired old man has nothing to do, and always has to find something to pass the time.

Playing chess, planting flowers and grass, walking dogs and teasing birds, calligraphy and antiques, have all become the direction they consider.

"Luck, luck!" Zhang Fan said modestly.

The old man shook his head, he felt that behind a certain success, there was an inevitable truth, even if there was an element of luck.

"When I came to your Zhangjiazhai, I knew why such high-quality orchids can be produced, and your environment here is really good. The old man sighed.

He is used to living in the city, and as soon as he arrived here, he obviously felt light, and the environment and climate were really indescribable. Such an environment creates the best orchids, not without a trace of relevance.

In addition, the cultivation and management of the young man in front of him must also have some unique methods and opinions. Of course, that's all a secret, he won't inquire, at most he is curious to visit.

"It's really a great place to retire. The young man interjected.

Zhang Fan was speechless, and it didn't seem to be a compliment, right? Is it only suitable for the elderly? Almost everyone here said so.

Don't make it happen in the future, their Zhangjiazhai is full of old people to settle down.

The young man also felt that there was something wrong with his words, and hurriedly explained: "Livable, livable! Brother Fan, don't you know? Some people on the Internet have selected your Zhangjiazhai as the most livable village in the province. ”

Zhang Fan was not very surprised, with the blessing of the pure bottle space, it could not become a livable village, so his golden finger was too wasteful.

In the future, not to mention the most livable in the province, even if it is the most livable in the world, he dares to vouch.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Don't believe me? As he spoke, the young man handed over his phone.

Zhang Fan glanced at it roughly, the vote was quite high, their Zhangjiazhai was thousands of votes higher than the second place, and the advantage was too great.

Subsequently, the old man wanted to take a look at the flowers and plants that Zhang Fan had cultivated.

With such a simple request, Zhang Fan had no reason to refuse, nodded and said: "Then everyone communicates with each other, and we need more guidance from our seniors." ”

The old man with thinning hair smiled: "Don't look at my age, in fact, I haven't been in contact with orchids for a long time, and my predecessors don't dare to call themselves up, so I don't want to teach you more." ”

The young man beside him couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but roll his eyes when he looked at the old man and the young man politely.

"My grandmother and I went to the temple to offer incense first. The young man spoke.

His grandmother is an old feudal, as long as she encounters a temple, she must go to worship it, and she will be at ease, but she does not have a particularly dedicated religious belief, and all the gods and Buddhas worship it, which is quite a bit of a "rather kill the mistake, don't let go" posture.

Zhang Fan and Zheng Lao went to his family's flower garden for a walk, which opened Zheng Laoda's eyes and his eyes lit up.

Here in Zhang Fan, he saw many rare varieties of flowers and trees, some of which were even worth millions of dollars. A small flower garden is a huge asset.

Seeing that Zheng Lao was standing in front of a bush of phalaenopsis, he couldn't move his footsteps, and his eyes were staring for a long time, Zhang Fan knew that this little old man really liked that bush of phalaenopsis.

Orchids have always represented noble and elegant temperament, and orchids are also the four famous flowers in China. In fact, orchids are not only valuable in China, but also many orchid varieties in the world.

Phalaenopsis is a relatively high-end flower, Phalaenopsis is delicate and beautiful, it is like a butterfly flying when it blooms, making people feel picturesque and dreamy.

Of course, many phalaenopsis orchids on the market are actually not very valuable, and most ordinary people can afford to play and can buy them for a hundred or dozens of yuan.

The more top-level ones are only in their early 10,000s, and compared with the rare varieties of lotus petal orchids in front of Zhang Fan, there is a huge gap in price.

"Does Zheng Lao have research on Phalaenopsis?" Zhang Fan said with a smile.

Zheng Lao observed carefully for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your bush of phalaenopsis is the most amazing I have ever seen. Each strain is a mutated variety, and the direction of mutation is not very different, and the color is different. It is obviously a cluster of orchids of the same species, but it has a visual impact of thousands of purples and reds. ”

What's even more incredible is that some of these mutations are something he has never seen.

In other words, there are several phalaenopsis orchids, which are the first mutant varieties to be introduced, which are very rare.

"Phalaenopsis is not very valuable, if you like it, I will give you a few plants when the time is right. Zhang Fan said.

As the Spring Festival approaches, it is the period when phalaenopsis is rushing to open, and this time is not very suitable for dividing.

"That's a good feeling, thank you!" Zheng Lao suddenly showed an extremely happy smile.

He has studied phalaenopsis orchids, so he naturally understands that orchid strains are not a casual thing.

Due to the relatively developed root system of orchids, the development is limited by flower pots, and there is nowhere to stretch in them, so fertilization and watering are very unfavorable. Moreover, the pot is more crowded, the air permeability is poor, it is easy to be threatened by pests and diseases, and it is also difficult to divide the plants.

Therefore, it is usually planted every two or three years before changing the pot, and if the variety is more valuable, it can be changed every three or four years. However, the root system in the pot is not the same, the potting soil, diseases and pests are different, and the time of dividing will be different.

Zhang Fan here, directly let them grow in a huge wooden basin, and there are holes at the bottom of the wooden basin, which is conducive to drainage and leakage.

If we divide the plants before flowering, there is a risk that the plants will bloom less or no flowers. If the leaf buds are divided at the time of tillering, there is a risk of injuring the leaf buds. Moreover, the varieties are different, the living environment is different, and the interference from the outside world is different, so the time of dividing different varieties of orchids will be different.

When the orchid blooms, its growth and development are in a diapause stage, after flowering, the reproductive genes will begin to dormant and begin to enter the growth stage again.

Therefore, it can be repotted within half a month after the flower falls, so that the flowering of the plant will not be affected, and the leaf buds of the plant will not be damaged. Dividing at this stage will also help the leaf buds to differentiate better.

In general, this time is the most suitable time for dividing.
