Methods for dyeing and culturing butterfly orchids

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for dyeing and culturing butterfly orchids. The dyeing method comprises the following steps: (1) selecting butterfly orchids with flowers; (2) providing a dye solution; and (3) infusing the dye solution into peduncles by virtue of pressurized infusion, thereby changing the color of petals. The invention also relates to a method for culturing the butterfly orchids with a target color, and the method adopts the butterfly orchid dyeing method provided by the invention to dye the butterfly orchids. The methods provided by the invention have the advantages of being simple and easy to carry out, small in injury or damage to the peduncles, good in dyeing effect, symmetrical and uniform in coloring, avoiding fading, having no influence on a blooming period basically, and keeping the petals in a perfect condition, and the like, and the inflorescence is complete, thereby increasing color expressive force and ornamental values of the butterfly orchids, and having a very high commercial value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of moth orchid cultivation, in particular to a moth orchid dyeing method. Background technique [0002] Phalaenopsis is native to tropical and subtropical regions. Its flower shape is like a butterfly and its posture is graceful. It has the reputation of "Queen of Orchids". [0003] At present, there have been many studies on Phalaenopsis, but these studies basically focus on the cultivation of Phalaenopsis, such as the method of tissue culture, the tissue culture medium used, the environmental conditions of cultivation, the control of flowering induced diseases and insect pests, preservation and reproduction (For example, see CN201510307605.X, CN201310668438.2, CN201410679032.9, CN201310379176.8, CN201310664054.3), but there are very few research results on the flower color of Phalaenopsis, even if the common Phalaenopsis in nature is red and pink. , white, yellow, relatively single color, lack of blue-purple, green...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the cost and technical difficulty of changing the color through genetic engineering and other means are very high, the cycle is long, and the practicability is low.

In addition, although a method of dyeing petals by inserting fresh-cut flowers into a dye solution by absorbing dye from the stem end of the cut flowers has been proposed, this method requires the use of transpiration pull and capillary action by transpiring the water of the cut flowers. The dyeing is attracted to the petals. This method is not suitable for fresh cut flowers of Phalaenopsis, mainly because the flower stems of Phalaenopsis have a low degree of capillaryization, and it is not easy to effectively attract the dye solution from the stem end to the phalaenopsis through capillary action. Petals, on the other hand, Phalaenopsis is a precious flower, very delicate, Phalaenopsis flower stems with low capillary degree need to significantly increase the water transpiration rate to attract the dye solution to the petal part, and excessive water transpiration can easily lead to petals Irreversible wilting, which shortens the ornamental life of Phalaenopsis cut flowers and reduces their ornamental value

In addition, Phalaenopsis cut flowers only account for a part of Phalaenopsis products. In view of the precious and delicate characteristics of Phalaenopsis, a considerable proportion of Phalaenopsis products mainly exist in the form of potted flowers, and for Phalaenopsis in the form of potted flowers, it is Unable to dye by absorbing dye from the stem end

[0005] During the dyeing process of Phalaenopsis, it is difficult to inject the dye into the pedicel, and if the pedicel is damaged too much, it will easily affect the length of the flowering period.
