Appreciation of the works of "Flower Path".

(1) Replanting Landuo as a potted plant, but due to the limitation of potting soil, the roots are grown when cultivated to a certain period; Therefore, it is necessary to add replanting every year so that the potting soil can be renewed, and the method is as follows: (a) the period of repotting must be appropriate, otherwise it will be harmful and unprofitable; Chunlan and Chuanlan should be between March and April, Jianlan should be between April and May, and Huilan should be between February and March. In short, it is the most suitable before and after flowering. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info (B) choose a pot The pot is better to burn the mud, and the shape should be high and deep; The new maker must first spray it with water and moisten it slightly, and wash the old basin inside and out; The mouth of the basin should be large, about one foot in diameter, the bottom diameter should not be too sharp, about six or seven inches, and its height should be about eight inches; Each pot can be planted with 20 seedlings (one tsubaki is a bud, five or six upper leaves, and a total root below. The management of the mud must be thorough, and if you are not careful, you will be injured by drought; Therefore, it is better to use purple sand basin or glaze basin, and the color should be white, purple, black, etc. [Ethereal Monk Self-Explanation: 1. The size of the orchid basin may refer to the ancient basin. 2. Explain that the mud basin must be drought-proof, and the purple sand pot or glaze basin must be stain-proof. (c) Turning the pot is the most suitable once a year, if it is not turned for many years, the roots are densely knotted, and it is not easy to fold; The method first digs around the basin with a bamboo knife, turns out the roots, goes to the soil, and then washes them with water to expose the roots; Then cut the roots with sharp scissors, divide them into several clusters, and cut off the rotten or broken roots; Then wash it, put it in a cool place, at least half a day to dry, if soaked in disinfectant solution is better, then it can be potted. (d) with soil should be used in Zhejiang Yuyao or Fenghua Golden Goose mud, black pine, this is the best humus; However, it must be sieved first, and the large grains are used to fill the bottom of the pot to facilitate the water, and the small grains are used for the upper layer to make it easy to take root. [Ethereal layman self-solution: If today's granular humus is used, because the granular humus soil retains water, drains water, and is breathable] (E) There are small holes in the bottom of the basin, usually three holes, or only one large hole, and near the edge of the pelvic floor, it is still advisable to drill six or seven small holes; When potting, fill the hole with several layers of brown skin to prevent the invasion of ants and worms, cover the mussel shell, and then spread fire soil or bricks and tiles, charcoal, etc., about two inches thick; It is covered with coarse-grained mud about an inch, and slightly compacted, so that it can be irrigated in the future, so that the soil will not fall and there will be gaps; So add half an inch of fine soil, and then put in the orchid grass (the orchid grass has at least three or more), at this time there must be two people, one person will combine the orchid number of chun, and the other person will support it with both hands, and then the orchid will gradually add the fine mud evenly, and slightly suspend the root straight; and add soil to the roots, shake the pot finely, so that the soil and the roots are close to each other; Then add the soil to the mouth of the basin half an inch, the supporter slightly pulls up the orchid, then the root can not be bent, and at the same time to the finger to pluck the soil solid, and pull the soil slightly to make the grave rise, the pot is slightly lower around it, like a steamed bun; Immediately, a level spoon of pit sand powder is buried around the pot and mixed with soil as base fertilizer; So far, most of the things are completed, if the potting soil is damaged by rain, you can plant Cuiyun grass (commonly known as Jijiao Mountain grass), if the soil is loose and not easy to pile up in the center, you can spray it slightly with water, and the soil is agglomerated and easy to protrude; After that, it is placed in a wooden barrel of clear water, so that the water can penetrate from the hole in the wall and go up, and when it penetrates to the basin surface, it can be placed in a cool place; From now on, do not rain or blow strong winds, and after a week, you can put it in a fixed place.

(2) The position of the place should be open in the east to attract the morning light, and the same is true for the north and south, so as to enjoy the cool breeze, and the bamboo forest or tree shade in the west, so that the west of the sun can be shaded; The terrain should not be too narrow or too wide, from the east of the bamboo forest or tree shade, it is better not to be three or four feet, so half yin and half yang, ventilation, cool and pleasant, the most suitable for the blue; Gailan is high in nature, so it is advisable to fill in the orchid four or five feet high, and the mud ground must be covered with coarse coal chips; Then place the shelf of the pot orchid, there are two types: (a) the wooden frame type rests on the ground with wooden or stone strips, high and low two layers, [ethereal layman self-explanation: according to the pictures in the book, such as flower stands. Seek its ventilation; Put a shallow basin on the shelf, [ethereal layman self-explanation: according to the pictures in the book, such as the water tray of the flower pot, it needs to be larger] Fill it with water, and then take a small pot of lodging water basin, and then sit on it on it, [Ethereal layman self-explanation: According to the picture in the book, do not soak the water at the bottom of the pot, just like the high-waisted orchid basin today, do not fill the bottom of the tray with water over the bottom of the orchid pot, seal the bottom hole of the orchid pot, otherwise it will cover the air and stain the tide; The water in the basin is less than the hole at the bottom of the basin, which can be both breathable and humidified. If so, it can prevent the invasion of ants. (b) Suspended wooden or iron frame, four or five feet high, with four sets of iron cans on each four-legged basis, with fire oil or stinky potion in the middle, to prevent ants from climbing on; So the pot orchid is suspended in the middle, this style is the best. [Ethereal layman's self-explanation: according to the pictures in the book, like today's hanging orchid basins] potted orchids are usually placed under the curtain canopy, if it rains heavily, it will suffer greatly, and the curtain water will drip into the pot, its water will be fixed, and the roots will not rot; Therefore, it should be covered with a blue cloth curtain, (preparation method: the cloth should be thick, first coated with tender tofu, flattened with bamboo slices, occluded cloth holes, and then coated with tung oil three or four times to dry in the shade. Beat the tsubaki tightly, in order to replace the curtain berth; Tsubaki is about more than a foot high, if it is in the event of a storm, you can also sit back and relax. Although the blue cloth has been exposed to the sun, it still feels cool, but it is a pity that it cannot be fully covered; Therefore, in case of scorching sun, the curtain should be hung around: hang down the curtain on the southeast side before noon, roll it up in the afternoon, and hang down the northwest two curtains, so that it will not shoot in. In winter, it should be moved into a greenhouse or grass hut that uses sunlight and heat, do not freeze, and the house should be dry and free of water vapor; And prevent the eaves water from dripping into the pot, so as not to rot the roots; You can't leave the house until late March, [Ethereal Layman's Self-Explanation: This time refers to the lunar calendar] If the climate has not yet turned peaceful at this time, it is okay to stay for a few more weeks.

(3) Irrigation Irrigation should be inspected daily to check the dryness and wetness of the potting soil and then decide, not too wet, not too dry, to moisturize; The water must be clean, in the past, the orchid was planted, and the main water fell from the sky and the stream, and it was not suitable to irrigate with river water and well water; Yu then disagreed, because the stream water can only be obtained by those who live in the mountains, and if the water falls in the sky and feels lacking in the drought, then there should be a remedy, and the first thing to help is to help it, so it is not impossible to water it with tap water and river water; only

Flower Sutra (20 photos) is stored in the tank one day before, and the dirt or alkaline juice sinks before it can be taken and used, and the Gailan is most afraid of dirt and contains salty and other minerals also. The method of watering, every early morning or evening, see that the pot surface soil has dried up or the green cloud grass is slightly soft, you can water it; And because the potting soil is high and loose, it is not appropriate to sprinkle it with a very fine watering can, and it must be sprayed carefully, not too much, and it is not suitable to spray the center of the bluegrass, otherwise the roots are easy to rot. Each irrigation should be stopped when the potting soil is already wet, but from November to late February, [ethereal monk self-explanation: this time refers to the lunar calendar] watering should not be wet, so it has entered the cold winter, only so that the water in the pot can evaporate without hindering the bluegrass itself, and it is enough to water once every three days; From the beginning of March to the beginning of June, [Ethereal Monk Self-Explanation: This time refers to the lunar calendar] must be once a day or every other day, so that new leaves germinate in the season, the potting soil should be moisturized, and the sun should not be directly exposed, and then the new leaves can be green and slender; From mid-June to late September, [ethereal layman self-explanation: this time refers to the lunar calendar] once a morning, and then in the evening to inspect, if the potting soil has dried, it is advisable to water it again, so that the potting soil can be moisturized, and can help the evening dew, as much as possible and permeate the leaves, and this season is very new roots, water is not allowed or lacking; After mid-September, [Ethereal Layman's Self-Explanation: This time refers to the lunar calendar] must pay attention to the dryness and wetness of the potting soil every day, dry is watered, wet is allowed to be done; Although watering in winter can be reduced, it is still necessary to pay attention to it every day. When watering again, it is advisable to avoid it, and the water should not be flushed directly, otherwise the leaves will be stained with sludge and zoom, and the back of the leaves should be cleaned immediately.

(4) Cover the curtain where the orchid is placed, and cover the curtain to prevent rain; There are also curtains from time to time, but heavy rain must move the orchid into the room, and then move the curtain under the sunny day, which is very troublesome; Therefore, if the orchid is placed under the curtain canopy, the curtain should be paid close attention to. From late May to mid-June, [Ethereal Layman's Self-Explanation: This time refers to the lunar calendar] from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., outside the top curtain, side curtains should be hung around to prevent sun exposure; From mid-June to early July, [ethereal layman self-explanation: this time refers to the lunar calendar] The climate is hot, from 10 o'clock in the morning to 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the curtain must be covered; From mid-July to early September, [Ethereal Layman's Self-Explanation: This time refers to the lunar calendar] from 9 a.m. to 5 or 6 p.m. must extend the curtain covering time to prevent the scorching sun from wreaking; Until the end of September, the curtain covering time is shorter, and the deeper the autumn, the longer the sun should be; If it is delayed until mid-October, there is no need to cover the curtain [Ethereal Layman's Self-Explanation: This time refers to the lunar calendar]. The curtain is about six feet high, the higher the better, and it must be cheerful; Although the management is a little inconvenient, I can't take care of my ears.

(5) Fertilization orchid likes fertilizer, so when turning the pot, the pot should be surrounded by pit sand powder three or four places, but not directly touch the roots; The amount of pit sand application depends on the amount of Tsubaki grass; About one-third of a tablespoon can be used for three tsubaki orchids, half a spoonful can be applied for six tsubaki orchids, and one spoonful can be applied for ten tsubaki orchids. In the past, people used bird's nest and beef bone meal, etc., soaked for a year, and then applied it after it was ripe, which was close to the ideal and too wasteful; Some people also pour it with bath water, which seems to be too filthy, and bean husk or soybean meal water is also too hot; Therefore, it is appropriate to pour the smoked soup of rotten domestic animals and soak it in an iron bucket; In particular, river mussels and shrimp are mashed and spoiled; When applying, take two parts of this juice, add eight parts of water, and do it within a week after the spring equinox or after the Mid-Autumn Festival; In addition, lettuce leaves and broad bean shells, after more than three months of soaking, take two parts of the yellow color of the juice, add eight parts of water and apply; After tasting the small shrimp rotting, immersed in water, the initial turn red, turn black, take one part of the yellow plum season, and nine parts of water, and pour it when the soil is dry, it is also effective - but if the decay period is too short, the smell is strong, it is easy to attract flies to gather, cause its damage, and it is advisable not to water. The fertilization period is always the most appropriate to apply during the three-star period after the flowers; Usually, take one part of the river mussels, fish and shrimp and other rotten water (clean if clear water), and nine parts of water, and pour it after the potting soil is dry. Fertilization should not be too much, if the summer application is too diligent, to the autumn still autumn leaves, the shape is short and weak; When the spring leaves are born in the next year, they will be harmed; After many years, the bluegrass shrinks and dies day by day; Therefore, when it is time to fertilize, it must not be taken out casually.

(6) The native valley of Tibetan orchid in winter is not afraid of cold, but transplanted in pots, but it is coquettish; Therefore, after winter, it is advisable to move into a greenhouse that uses sunlight and heat, but the indoor should be dry, if there is water vapor, dripping from the eaves, the root is easy to rot; It is especially appropriate to be able to put it in the grass house, but it should not be frozen, and there should be glass windows in the south, which can be opened during the day, and the daylight can be rayed to keep warm, and one or two lamps should be lit on frozen days to increase the heat of the room.

(7) When the flower stalk is drawn, first identify its size, leave up to three stems in each pot, and remove the remainder; It is also advisable to remove the flowers after they have bloomed enough, so as not to consume nutrients after a long bloom, and even hinder the growth of flowers in the next year. Orchid leaves two stems at the beginning of each pot, picks one stem after three days, and leaves at most five or six days when the flowers bloom and the last flower, that is, it should be pulled out; When pulling the roots, one hand to pluck the roots, one hand to pull the roots, and not to damage the roots, but if you are greedy for convenience, cut it with scissors, it is afraid to leave the bottom stem and still consume nutrients, so it is appropriate to pull it out in the end. In short, the method of planting orchids should be carefully managed, and the gardener should not be relied upon, and everything must be done by himself. The ancients had a recipe for raising orchids: "Spring does not come out, and there is no frost, snow and cold wind; In summer, the scorching sun is most avoided; If it is not dry in autumn, water more fertilizer or bean juice; (It is not suitable to apply fertilizer for this season, so when the roots have grown, there is no need for fertilizer, but the potting soil should always be moistened.) If it is not wet in winter, it should be hidden in a greenhouse or soil pit. This is indeed the gist of planting orchids. This article comes from the first edition of the 38th year of the Republic of China, the first edition of the "Book of Flowers" written by Huang Yueyuan, the fourth chapter of the root flowers, the second cultivation method of the first section of the orchid.
