Miltonia

The main diseases and pests of the flower

In the event that miltonia falls ill, it is important to know how to care for it during this period. To do this, you first need to determine the cause of the disease.

• One of them may be waterlogging of the soil. The root system begins to rot, which can lead to the death of the entire plant. In this case, you should immediately remove the miltonia from the pot, trim off all affected parts of the roots, cut the sections with charcoal, and transplant into a new, clean, sterile pot. Watering for the next period should be reduced.

Another common problem is substrate salinity. The tips of the orchid leaves begin to dry, which means that it is urgent to switch to watering the flowerpot with soft warm water.

If the flower is in a room where the humidity level is too low, or there is a direct hit of the sun's rays on the orchid, the miltonia turns yellow. Accordingly, it is necessary to immediately correct the external influence.

Noticing black spots on the leaves, you should check for the presence of various pests on the back side: aphids, whiteflies, spider mites, etc. You can destroy them with special solutions "Mospilan" or "Bankol" (be sure to follow the instructions on the package).

What to do if you are lucky enough to buy a plant with damaged roots in the store, or the roots have rotted in the process of leaving? How to save miltonia? It is quite possible, although it will take a lot of time. The plant should be soaked in warm water (21 ºC) for about 3-4 hours every day. And additionally add a growth stimulant to the water every two weeks.

It takes a lot of effort to enjoy the flowering of miltonia. And nevertheless, this flower remains quite popular among lovers of home flowerpots. The main thing is not to forget to moisten the soil under miltonia and fertilize it in time, then you can enjoy bright flowering all year round.

Miltonia, one of the most popular orchids among amateur flower growers. And although it can be found on sale less often than phalaenopsis, they are equal in popularity. The secret lies not only in the bright beauty of the flowers, but also in the comparative unpretentiousness of this orchid.

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that you are unlikely to find “pure” miltonia on sale. Usually these are hybrids, or even Miltoniopsis.

But there is nothing terrible and contradictory in this. The existing differences between these orchids lie in the plane of botany as a science, from the point of view of amateur floriculture, it is one and the same plant.

The soil

Miltonia, like many other orchids, can be grown either on a block or in a pot. The ideal material for the block is a piece of balsa wood, but it is very difficult to get it.

However, you can replace it with an interesting snag for the aquarium, or a beautiful pine root found in the forest. Sphagnum moss or coconut fiber is tied to the block under the roots of the plant (you can do both together).

For growing in a pot, a substrate is selected so that the roots of the plant breathe. For stability, it is better to put a few ordinary stones on the bottom of the pot. A wine cork, pieces of pine bark 2-3 cm in size, polystyrene, a little birch charcoal are used as a substrate. The voids should be 1 / 3–1 / 4 of the total volume of the pot. The recommended soil acidity is pH 5.5 to 6.5.

Diseases and pests, control methods

Delicate greens and nutritious pseudobulbs attract all kinds of parasites. Spider mites often settle on orchids of various species and varieties. A pest with a red-orange calf multiplies rapidly, braiding leaves, peduncles, pseudobulbs, buds and roots with white cobwebs. A colony of ticks attacks all parts of the plant, quickly drinks juices, Miltonia withers and dies.

The colonization of ticks occurs through open windows, with a low-quality substrate when buying a new plant. Often, pests move to the "tropical beauty" from infected plants in a green corner. Dry air and substrate, rare spraying are favorable conditions for the development of parasitic individuals.

Spider mite control methods:

• rinse the roots, pseudobulbs, leaves, peduncle;
• collect all identified pests;
• remove items heavily damaged by pests;
• renew the substrate, dispose of the old;
• wipe the window sill and other areas next to which the flowerpot stood with soapy water;
• treat Miltonia with acaricides according to the instructions;
• watering the soil and spraying infected plants using chemicals is performed on the street or balcony, in a respirator, plastic glasses, gloves, closed clothes and a headdress. Do not allow the ingress of drops or inhalation of vapors / particles of acaricides to avoid intoxication.

After the orchid is cured, it is important to follow preventive measures:

• water the plant on time;
• do not allow the air in the room to dry out, in the heat and when the central heating is turned on, put the flowerpot on a pallet in which there is moistened sphagnum moss or "natural sponge", as a spore plant is often called;
• periodically wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or spray the flower according to the rules.

Other pests on plants of the Orchid family:

• aphid;
• thrips;
• shield.

To destroy harmful insects, a set of measures is carried out:

• processing with a strong soapy solution. During the day, there is a thin film on the plants, under which the parasites suffocate; it is easier to remove the sucked pests from the leaves and other parts of the plant;
• application of insecticides. In the treatment of orchids, the chemicals Karbofos, Aktara are used, in case of severe damage - the drug of the FOS group Aktellik;
• phytohormones and biological products Fitosporin, Epin, Zircon restore immune protection, stimulate vital processes in plants after stress against the background of transplantation and application of insecticides;
• moving a flower to a new substrate, disposing of old soil, disinfecting or replacing flowerpots, thoroughly cleaning the window sill, windows, washing curtains and tulle, sealing cracks in wooden frames - simple measures to reduce the risk of re-infection;
• for prevention, every month Miltonia is sprayed with folk remedies that repel harmful insects. Proven names: garlic tincture, decoction with onion peels or orange peels, infusion based on pyrethrum (a special type of chamomile).

Planting and transplant rules for miltonia orchids

The soil
for miltonia orchid

For growing
only special soil mixtures are used for orchids or bromeliads.
If this is not available in the flower shop, you can make it up
by yourself, mixing pine bark, fine-grained drainage and adding
more charcoal and sphagnum moss.

Correct
Miltonia orchid transplant

The transplant is carried out annually, completely changing at
doing this by growing the pot. Transplanted in spring or summer, after
flowering, while the day for transplanting is not chosen hot, cool. Wherein
the size of young shoots should be at least 5 centimeters.

The pot is chosen not very large, low and wide.
A couple of heavy stones are placed on the bottom, for stability, then a thick layer is poured
drainage and a layer of fresh soil and only then they transfer the orchid itself, falling asleep
all the voids are a new substrate. When transplanting, experts do not strongly recommend
to bury young growth in the soil. A layer of sphagnum moss is laid on top of the soil,
which is moisturized from time to time, trying not to allow it to be completely
drying out. After transplanting the first 4 days, watering the miltonia orchid is not
produced, but sprayed more often.

Miltonia candida. Orchi

Botanical description of the plant

Miltonia belongs to sympodial plants (its lateral shoots grow at approximately the same rate) with a height of no more than half a meter. Young shoots emerge from pseudobulbs (thickenings on the stem near the surface of the ground) 70–80 mm long and 40–50 mm wide.

The color of the pseudobulbs and leaves ranges from rich light green with a yellowish tinge to olive green, depending on the type of plant and the amount of sunlight it receives. The shape of the leaves is belt-shaped or linear-lanceolate. They are 35–40 cm long and 3 cm wide.

The orchid begins flowering with the ejection of a long peduncle stem, on which large flowers appear (about 10-12 cm in diameter). Their color is white, pink, purple, not uniform, but with a combination of several shades.

Reproduction of orchids by division at home

As already mentioned, the division method is generally suitable for sympodial species. Since all pseudobulbs are united by a rhizome, or as it is also called, a rhizome, new growths are just a matter of time

But it is no less important to know that it is necessary to divide the plants only in cases where the pseudobulb becomes very much and the entire root system no longer fits in the pot.

If you nevertheless decide to divide an orchid, the question of how to divide it without harm to the flower will certainly arise.

For this, it is important to determine where the rhizome is located, and to make division along it. It is extremely important that in each division there are at least 3 pseudobulbs, the more there are, the faster the orchid adapts after division

Another important feature of sympodial orchids is that the faded pseudobulb will no longer bloom, therefore, dividing the plant, you need to leave the old ones with new growths, they will nourish and support the young plant for the first time, and then dry out over time

The action plan for separation should be as follows:

1. We take the plant out of the pot and use a sterile tool to separate the pseudobulbs.
2. The rhizome slice should be processed. For this, a garden pitch is suitable or you can simply drip it with wax or paraffin.

For many adherents of phalaenopsis, who have not encountered other species before, the question of how to plant a dendrobium orchid becomes very relevant. It should be noted that, although dendrobium belongs to the sympodial species, division is not the only type of its reproduction. Sometimes children begin to grow on pseudobulbs, which eventually grow roots.

After the baby releases a new growth, followed by a new pseudobulb, and also grows sufficient roots for independent life, it can be removed with the help of a neat cut with a sterile sharp instrument.

Optimal conditions for growing miltoniopsis

Despite the conventional wisdom about the difficulties and failures in breeding miltoniopsis, caring for it at home is nevertheless quite simple. If you have recently purchased miltoniopsis, then caring for it after the purchase will consist in choosing the right place, maintaining the humidity and temperature of the room, watering and applying additional fertilizing. And then, as it grows, you will need to transplant it and know the basics of flower reproduction.

The plant does not need a lot of light. Illumination should be sufficient, but no more - partial shade is best. It is not necessary to keep a flower on the windowsill in spring and summer, it is possible in winter in cloudy weather. The most suitable place for miltoniopsis is the shelves and shelves in the back of the room.

This quality of miltoniopsis can be used when breeding the plant under full artificial light. Provided there is constant sufficient air humidity, it will grow well, perhaps, it will give fewer flowers, but it will develop and bloom.

Temperature and humidity

Miltoniopsis is thermophilic - temperature +25. +30 ° С is optimal for him. At the same time, it tolerates temperature drops to +19 well. +20 ° C. It must be remembered: the hotter it is in the room, the higher the air humidity should be, within 70 - 75% - this is the only way to ensure the normal growth and development of the flower. In addition, miltoniopsis needs a constant change of air - ventilation, that is, periodically it is necessary to force ventilate the room. Airing is also the prevention of fungal and other diseases resulting from high temperatures combined with high humidity.

What soil is best to grow miltoniopsis

When planting an orchid in the soil, it is important to know one of the most important rules: miltoniopsis is an epiphytic orchid. This means that the plant grows practically without land - in nature on vines, tree branches, rocks

Therefore, miltoniopsis roots do not need to be buried deep and tightly, but instead purchase a spacious container or pot with many holes on the sides or make holes in it yourself. Place a loose soil mixture in it and plant a flower so that the pseudobulbs are not completely sprinkled, but on the contrary, their top is on the surface. This is quite enough for the orchid to gain a foothold and start growing.

Basic requirement for soil

Watering rules

The main rule is not to flood the flower. Watering should be very moderate, and the soil should not dry out completely. It is best for the soil to be constantly slightly moistened. Since the humidity in the room will be high and the soil will be moist, this is quite enough for the orchid.

How and when to transplant a plant

Transplanting miltoniopsis is carried out as soon as the plant has grown and its young shoots have reached 7-12 cm in height. At this stage, the young shoots have already formed their own roots, and they are ready for rooting in a new place. When transplanting, carefully remove the flower from the pot, place its roots in warm (+ 35-38 ° C) water for a while to cleanse it from the soil, and then carefully separate the young shoots. The separation points can be sprinkled with charcoal or activated charcoal so that they dry out a little, and then plant the plants in pre-prepared pots with soil mixture

At the same time, the transplanted miltoniopsis is not watered for 2-3 days - this is important, then watering is introduced, as usual

Cytokinin paste for orchids

As already described above, experienced florists use special formulations of stimulants for the propagation of orchids. These include cytokinin paste. She is able to stimulate the growth of children, if for several years of flowering you have not noticed a similar phenomenon on your orchid.

You can buy it at any specialty store. The composition is used in small quantities, so one tube will be enough for you for a long time.

So, the application of cytokinin paste is as follows:

Pay attention to this stuff - Why does Benjamin's ficus shed its leaves?

• It is better to use the described tool on peduncles. Examine it carefully for a kidney. The upper or lower kidney should be processed.

• Remove the scales from the kidney using any object - a knife, scissors, scalpel. It will be safer if, before use, the item used in the future undergoes a disinfection procedure. The task of removing the scales is to get close to the light green point - this is the kidney. The whole procedure is done carefully so as not to damage the kidney.

• A small amount of paste - a 2 mm diameter ball - is applied to the kidney with a toothpick.Previously, the kidney can be scratched with a disinfected needle.

• Spread the composition on the kidney in an even layer.

The main condition in the use of this remedy is the observance of the amount applied to the kidney. Since excessive processing will lead to the fact that several peduncles or children are formed on one bud at once. And this leads to their death, because none of them will be able to develop fully.

Keep an eye on the treated kidney. If all the features are observed, kidneys will appear in 7-10 days, and then children.

In rare cases, new peduncles are formed. They are also allowed to grow, after which they are separated and do all the necessary steps for rooting.

Care errors and their elimination

The Miltonia orchid does not always grow and bloom the way the grower wants: problems arise with the leaves, buds, and the root system. There are several reasons, one of which: violation of the rules of care.

The table contains information on the action of negative factors that interfere with the development and flowering, recommendations are given for the correct conduct of agrotechnical measures:

Growing errors

Growing any orchid is a complex process that requires certain knowledge and skills. Novice flower growers often make mistakes that lead to flower diseases, it stops blooming and may die. Observing the external changes of the orchid, you can assess its condition and correct it in a timely manner.

The appearance of the plant will help determine what happened to the orchid, what care conditions were violated:

• If the buds have not yet had time to open and fall off, this indicates that it is hot in the room, the air is too dry, or the plant is standing in a draft.
• The flowering period has shortened - it means that the dormant period was too short and there are not enough nutrients.
• Yellowed leaves in miltonia indicate a lack or excess of nutrients or decay of the root system.
• Pale leaves - too much light and low nutrients, leaves darken in low light.

Caring for the Miltonia orchid during flowering

How to make miltonia orchid bloom at home?

Believe me, there are no special secrets here: you just need to provide the flower with proper care with the change of "seasons".

By adhering to the described rules of care, you can easily achieve flowering of the plant twice a year. The orchid needs a rest period every year. Then the first peduncle is formed, care with watering and dressing must be resumed. If there is a lack of moisture, the flowers may not open completely.

During the last stage of the ripening of the bud and the opening of flowers, the plant must be carefully shaded: during the day, cleaned into the depths of the room. A new flower arrow that appears will let you know that the flower is ready to grow, develop and bloom again. Flowering usually lasts five or six weeks.The flowers are extremely delicate, they cannot stand the open sun and insufficient watering. There is a possibility of dark spots on the edge of the petals.

Stable keeping conditions and irrigation with rainwater will make flowering longer. If there is an opportunity, for the winter, identify the Brazilian beauty in a greenhouse, where the temperature is constant and the lighting is stable, then it will bloom almost all year round.

Planting and transplanting

Priming

• Pick up the soil. What can it be? It is up to you to determine. We have mentioned some options;
• If you are cooking yourself, remember the ratio of the ingredients. And good preparation of the components (digestion, drying, grinding);
• And you can also find such a composition. The bark of coniferous trees. Peat and fern roots.

Capacity

As one gardener I know rightly says: “Don't stew in your own juice. You are not on a desert island! " Chat with amateurs and connoisseurs.

Especially with those who have experience in growing such plants. Including negative. And they will tell you:

• Large pot sizes are not suitable. The roots are not that big. It is not necessary to provide for growth;
• Transparent plastic will work very well;
• Choose a container with good drainage holes at the bottom. To ensure unimpeded water flow;
• Nice pot is good. And better - suitable for the plant.

Peculiarities

• Pick up and prepare a container and soil;
• To remove old soil, first place it in a container with warm water;

Important! Experienced flower growers leave part of the old soil when transplanting. The roots are used to

If it is of high quality, then the plant tolerates this process more easily.

• Remove damaged and dried roots;
• Treat the sections with activated carbon;
• Let the roots dry;
• Lay the drainage;
• Place the plant;
• Fill carefully with soil. The soil covers only the roots;
• There is no need to water the first two days.

Transfer. Technology. Nuances

Miltonia Orchid confirms its reputation for being capricious when transplanted. Well, she doesn't really like this process. So spend it carefully. In compliance with the rules and recommendations:

• Plants purchased from stores must be transplanted. If it blooms, give it the opportunity to bloom;
• Repot your orchid no more than 2 years later. 3-4 years as an ideal;
• But the circumstances must also be taken into account. Maybe more often:
  • What is the condition of the soil;
  • How plants feel;
  • Possible diseases and emerging pests themselves speak of the need to change the soil;
• Choose the right time: right after flowering. The leaves are still small.

How to transplant:

• Examine the roots and leaves carefully:
  • Remove dried leaves;
  • Assess the condition of the big ones. Maybe they have already served their time. For more free growth of fresh leaves;
• Control the planting depth;
• Don't bury new shoots;
• Find the best pot size. When transplanting, it can be 2-4 cm more than before;
• Prepare good drainage:
  • It can be polystyrene, expanded clay;
  • And even large pieces of prepared soil;
• Moisten the soil before placing it in the pot;
• Water after 2 days.

Growing problems

In captivity, the orchid is often attacked by pests and various diseases. In addition, many growers are faced with such a problem as the lack of flowering.

Why does not it bloom

Here are some reasons why miltonia stops blooming:

• temperature (sharp drops are allowed or it is not maintained at the proper level);
• lighting (direct sunlight falls on the plant);
• watering (over-irrigation and use of cold water);
• root system (it was disturbed during transplantation, due to the removal of a large number of roots, the plant cannot stay in loose soil).

Solutions to the problem:

• chemical treatment (use of growth stimulants for spraying);
• temperature (ensure smooth temperature jumps between day and night);
• watering (give the flower a slight drought);
• fertilizers (feed with nitrogen);
• pruning (trimming the peduncle near the dormant bud).

Diseases and pests

It is extremely important for an orchid to identify and eliminate a pest or disease in time, since under their influence it quickly loses its decorative effect and dies. To identify a threat in time, you need to know how it manifests itself:

To identify a threat in time, you need to know how it manifests itself:

1. Thrips. These pests usually appear due to low humidity. They coat the foliage with white patches, causing the leaves to turn silvery.
2. Shield. Its presence is evidenced by brown plaques on the leaves and a sticky substance on them.
3. Whitefly. Because of it, the leaves become covered with yellow spots and gradually begin to fade, die off.

You can get rid of all these insects with soap solution and insecticides (Fitoverm, Aktellik, Substral).

Due to abundant watering, the flower can be susceptible to various types of rot. They can be overcome by eliminating the affected areas and temporary drought, or by transplanting into a fresh substrate. Also, in miltonia, the tips of the leaves may begin to dry out. This indicates the salinity of the soil. To remedy the situation, you need to water the plant with rainwater.

As you can see, miltonia is a very capricious flower. She requires close attention to herself. Careful adherence to the rules will help not only avoid problems with the plant, but also allow you to admire the beautiful flowering for a long time. And it is worth the trouble of caring for a flower.

Varieties of miltonia with abundant flowering at home

If you look closely at (Miltonia), it becomes clear why they are called pansies. The flowers bear a great resemblance to pansies, or violets. Although these popular orchids form pseudo-bulbs, they do not have a strict dormancy period.

The leaves of the miltonia plant reach 40 cm in length and are distinguished by their color - yellowish with a gray tint. The axils of deciduous plates are the place of growth of peduncles, which adorn the velvety inflorescences of variegated flowers: white, pink, purple, red. Not only the wide palette of colors amazes the imagination, but also the original ornaments on the petals, which with their smoothness and gracefulness resemble the wings of a butterfly.

The perfect combination of exoticism and simplicity is the reason why every orchid connoisseur tries to decorate their greenhouses with this attractive specimen. Today, there are more than twenty types of room miltonia. The most popular ones are described below.

The dazzling (spectabilis) variety lives up to its majestic name. The large sizes of flowers with purple veins surprise with a palette of yellow-pink shades. Duration of flowering is more than 4 months - from the end of summer and throughout autumn. The yellowish leaf plates are belt-shaped. This type of miltonia flower is heat-resistant, since it can withstand both cold and rather warm temperatures.

Renyelli (regnellii) is a type of orchid with oblong leaves and a glossy surface. The half-meter peduncle of the plant is framed with fragrant flowers, the number of which ranges from 5 to 7 pieces. White petals are decorated with delicate purple stripes and snow-white border.

Yellowish (flavescens) miltonia is an Argentinean "beauty", the inflorescences of which stand out for their white "painting" on refined petals. Medium-sized flowers with a diameter of about 7 cm, their number on one peduncle reaches 10-15 pieces. With its abundant flowering, this type of miltonia in the usual home conditions pleases from the beginning of March to the middle of August. The foliage of the plant is pointed in yellow tones. Each individual leaf reaches about 40 cm in length and takes on a narrow belt-like shape.

The snow-white (candida) species of such a houseplant is decorated with 3-5 white flowers during flowering. Large size about 9 cm in diameter, attractive aroma and brown-red spots on graceful petals - these are the distinguishing features of the inflorescences of this variety of indoor miltonia.

Miltonia Klousa (clowesii) - indoor "beauty" with refined leaves of a narrow oblong shape of greenish color. Their length is about 40 cm, and in the fly they barely reach 2 cm. This species is distinguished by very long erect peduncles - more than 60 cm. Each of them has 7-10 exquisite flowers during flowering, which bloom alternately. The color of the petals is brindle, combining brown stripes with a light yellow background. Outwardly, the flowers resemble small stars 6-7 cm in diameter, the lip of which is in the form of a violin with wavy edges and purple-white colors. Such exotic inflorescences have a pleasant alluring aroma.

The cuneata (cuneata) variety of the miltonia domestic orchid shown in the photo is a striking representative of its family.

Elliptical leaf plates reach a length of more than 20 cm and a width of 3 cm. On a long erect peduncle, 5 to 8 flowers, about 7-8 cm in diameter, are successively placed. The delicate petals have the characteristic waviness of the edges and are decorated with small brown spots on a light yellow background. The flower's lip is trapezoidal with small reddish-purple specks.

Houseplant signs

According to folk signs and the teachings of Feng Shui, it is not recommended to settle the plant in the bedrooms of married couples. It is believed that this plant has energy vampirism and has its maximum negative effect at night.

It is believed that purple orchids help to increase work capacity. Red flowers are ideal for women who quit smoking and follow a healthy lifestyle. For career growth, it is recommended to grow yellow Miltonia in the office. Orange orchids help to achieve financial success, while white and pink orchids help to normalize the state of mind.
