In the cold and humid soil or rock with an altitude of 300 to 1200 meters, you will see such a plant. Its flowers are very strange and unique, just like a small pocket. Because of its unique charm, it also has a very nice name. There are also some places we need to pay special attention to when breeding, so let's have a look!

I. light

In the season with high temperature and strong light, shading is needed. 80% shading combined with spraying water on the leaves in the morning and evening can make the leaves more shiny and reduce the incidence of Paphiopedilum. In winter, we should give them enough light.

2. Soil

The requirements for soil are very high. The cultivated soil should have good drainage function to ensure that its roots will not be anoxic. If the place where Dulan is produced is very dry and has less rainfall, then the soil must be moist enough.

3. Water

Use soft water to water the flowers. If you can use rainwater to water the flowers, the effect will be better. But watering can not be too much, can not make water in the basin, otherwise it will cause more bacteria in the basin, it will make the cucurbit rots until it has died. When the temperature is low in winter, the water temperature will also be very cold. At this time, the water can't be watered directly. It needs to be placed for a period of time or heated to make the water temperature not so cold before watering. In summer, spray with a watering can, which can also improve the humidity in the air. Not only in the basin can not water, leaves can not water Oh, or leaves will rot.

IV. fertilization

When fertilizing, we must follow the principle of less and more frequently. Only Cucurbita with larger plants can apply more fertilizer. The choice of fertilizer is generally the finished fertilizer on the market, for example, organic fertilizer can make it flourish. Proper fertilization can make the growth of Paphiopedilum more prosperous. If the fertilizer is enough, the plant will get sufficient development and blossom soon, but if the fertilizer is not enough, it can only bloom in another year.

5. Change basin

Timely and industrious change of pots can make Dulan grow better. You can change the basin every two years. If you have energy, it will be better to change the basin every year. When changing pots, be sure not to destroy the plant tissue. If the basin is accidentally pulled and broken, it will be infected with Pythium. We suggest that you can use charcoal powder to prevent
