ZYGOPETALUM.
This beautiful orchid with glossy leaves, is widely distributed in various regions, from lowlands to highlands seredney mark in South America. Of the 15 species zigopetalyumov, many are terrestrial, with repeated flowering, which lasts up to 8 weeks.Flowers are large, superb tones of lilac with white and light green, often used for cutting.Pseudobulbs covered with stipules. The generic name of this orchid is derived from the Greek - «yoked - Petal" referring to the built-up edge like a clamp at the bottom lip of the flower.
Temperature: Zigopetalyum - orchid loving the warm daytime content, while they have mild night temperatures between 10-18 degrees C. Lowering the temperature (up to 2-gradusovS) for a few hours each night will not hurt akklimatizirovannmu plant, but flowering may not be. The plant should be protected from temperatures below 11 degrees C. Always expose the plants from frost.Light: Good Zigopetalyumam provide full sun in the morning and afternoon most, but they must be protected from the hot midday sun. Light green leaves with a hint of yellow indicates that the sun longer than necessary, and dark green leaves indicate a lack of sunWater: Watering Zigopetalama - fine balancing act. They should be allowed to dry out completely, but also for waterlogging nihne disastrous. Polivodin once every seven - ten days - the norm. As with all other species of orchids, be sure to keep in mind when watering and climatic environment.Top dressing: fertilizer high in nitrogen (10.10.30) should be used from February to July, while the low-nitrogen (10-25-30) should be used from August until January. The dosage is one teaspoon per five gallons of water once a month.Planting: Transplanting every two - three years from February to June, immediately after flowering, the substrate for the transplant must be dry. The bark is suitable for mild summer climate, while a more acceptable - a special soil for orchids. It is used in the warmer summer climates.
Cattleya.
The family - Orchidaceae. Homeland - Central and South America.All Katla - epiphytic evergreen plants growing at home in the trees. At Katla creeping rhizome with 2-5 internodes, of which grow thicker stems - pseudobulbs with 1-3 oblong leathery dark - green leaf. Large flower lei category are different colors, from white to bright - red. They gathered in the brush, sometimes consisting of seven flowers. There are hybrids with a pleasant and delicate aroma. The duration of flowering from 35 to 60 days. New shoots appear at the bottom of the previous one.Accommodation. Katleya prefers warm and very bright room, protected from direct sunlight. It is recommended to have a plant on the window of the eastern orientation.During the period of growth it is necessary to maintain the temperature of 20-22 ° C, at night it can be 2-3 ° C lower.Care. During the growing season the plant requires moist air, and moderate watering.During the period of dormancy reduce watering. From May to October, the plant feed fertilizer for orchids, which make each 3 - or 4 - m watering. Transplanted leu cat every 2 years after flowering in the substrate consisting of a mixture of roots of fern and sphagnum moss, with the addition of charcoal and pine bark.Pests and diseases. The main pests - Quadraspidiotus perniciosus, spider mites, aphids. If the room is very dry air, the plants turn black and the tips of the leaves may cause thrips.Reproduction. Dividing the pseudobulbs.Council. To katleya bloomed every year, after flowering to put the plant in a cool place and greatly reduce watering.
CATASETUM.
Androgynous polivorfizm: Catasetums, Cycnoches Mormodes and can produce three different types of flowers on growing plants, depending on their location. Women, men, bisexual, and can grow on the same plant.Light: Catasetum group can grow in a wide range of lighting conditions. In a more bright light increases the probability of female flower type, with a low light - the male flowers. In Katasetumov male flowers are larger and more beautiful women, while female flowers Cycnoches preferable.Watering: During the active growth of plants need frequent watering. The frequency of watering depends on the type of substrate, in which you grow the plant. It is desirable to prevent the complete drying of the surface of the substrate, more than half of the day. If you are growing in sphagnum katasetum, moss should always be slightly moist. Plants are usually shed their leaves in the dormant period, which begins in the winter. At this time watering should be stopped.
Fertilizer: Once the plant has begun its seasonal growth, it is desirable to feed as often as wands before the end of growth. Feed weekly, dissolved in water for irrigation fertilizer. When the growth ended in the fertilizer is no longer necessary.Transplanting: Plants are well kept in 8 cm pots and more, and they should be transplanted every year. The plant is desirable to free the roots from the substrate in the early period of rest (if the plant has a distinct cycle of flowering), or cut off the roots and the pseudobulbs placed in an empty clay pot for the entire period of rest. In this case, the plant should be wet with the other orchids in the collection, and it will not rot. When will new growth and roots will have about 3 cm long, the plants should be planted in a pot with the substrate is not more than 2 cm wider than the previous one. Use a substrate made from equal parts of pine bark (the size of a pea), and charcoal, with the addition of 20% peat. This substrate stimulates a very rapid growth and enables the plant to fully take root in a minimum period of time. For larger plants - more than 15 cm pots, and the use of coarser substrate of charcoal and pine bark grubofraktsionnoy, plus 20% peat.Division: During the period of dormancy when the plant is in a pot without a substrate, it can be divided into pieces of 2-3 pseudobulbs. Old bulbs are usually separated away from the new growth, but if the plant is healthy, then the new growths appear quite easily.Cycnoches should be divided, taking into account the fact that the posterior third or fourth pseudobulbs usually die.Vvrediteli: The main villain Katasetumov - spider mite. They usually attack in the high summer temperatures, and if time does not process the plant, it may lose leaves. To prevent good spray the plant with insecticide by spider mites once a month.Diseases: Most species of this group are subject to decay - often at the beginning of the growing season, or when they go to bed. It is necessary to follow the top of the plants during these periods. If the rot starts - it is better to cut off part of the rotting pseudobulbs to clean cut, even if it is - the base of mature pseudobulbs. Do not throw away a good part of the pseudobulbs, sprinkle with powdered charcoal slice, or other disinfectants, and let the plant dry for several weeks. In most cases, waking up a spare kidney, and the plant can be saved.
Laelia.
The family - Orchidaceae. Homeland - tropical America.Lelia - evergreen epiphytic orchid, which grows at home on trees and rocks. Flower lelii highly original, often referred to as the national flower of Brazil. In lelii leathery dark - green leaves up to 20 cm of 2-7 flowers on long (30-70 cm) peduncles. Flowers have a variety of colors: purple, red, pink. Depending on the type of plants in bloom in autumn, winter or summer.Accommodation. Prefers a warm and very bright place. The optimum temperature for the summer - fall period should be 18-25 ° C, in winter it is at 4-5 ° C below. The plant must be protected from drafts and frequent changes of temperature.Care. In the growth period (April - September) the plant abundantly watered, not containing lime, or immerse the pot with the plant in water at room temperature. At every third watering is desirable to make a small amount of fertilizer for orchids. In winter, watering is limited, but see to it that will not dry pseudobulbs. Transplanted leliyu be a once in 2-3 years, best in spring, using the prepared substrate for orchids.Pests and diseases. The main pests - spider kpesch, Quadraspidiotus perniciosus.Drying of the substrate leads to the falling of flower buds.Reproduction. Dividing the pseudobulbs.Council. Lelia does not make too dry and warm air, so the more air the room (even in the cold season).
Miltonia.The family - Orchidaceae. Homeland - Colombia, Peru.Milton - this is one of a fairly easy to grow orchids. Miltonia velvety flowers and appearance similar to the flowers of violets, just look richer, reaching a size of about 7-10 cm in diameter. Flowers grow arrows at the bottom of the new bulbs. Hamilton Flowers usually in early summer and autumn.Accommodation. The plant should be a bright place, the best the west (or east) window (without a shadow of the trees in the street). In the hot southern window need pritenenie from direct midday sun. Hamilton thermophilic, in winter the optimum temperature - 20 ° C, a night at least - 15 ° C. Hybrids Milton - Miltoniopsisy (Miltoniopsis hybr.) - Kept in cool conditions at 15 ° C and winter at least for them - 12 ° C. Hamilton is very badly to sudden fluctuations in temperature and drafts for it may be simply disastrous.
Care. Abundantly watered during growth (spring and summer) - the soil should be moist at all times. In winter, watering is very limited, ie nearly dry contents. Miltonia needed humidity around 60-70%, so it is better to put on a pallet with water or wet pebbles.During the period of growth, budding and flowering fed a special fertilizer for orchids.Transplant is carried out only when the roots Miltonia just stick out from the pot and the plant grows poorly, as Milton, as well as all orchids not tolerate transplanting. It is usually transplanted in 3-4 years, the pot should not be too large, otherwise the plant will grow poorly. Soil - a special blend for the purchase of orchids. You can make your own - to take a portion of finely chopped fern roots, 1 part finely chopped moss, 1 part light loose sod land and 1 part leaf soil. You can use a different part of the substrate - a loose portion of the peat land (better to take the horse red peat) and 1 part of finely chopped pine bark.Pests and diseases. The main pests - whiteflies, Quadraspidiotus perniciosus, thrips.Council. It is important to keep around Miltonia moist air, especially if the room has central heating. If the air is too dry, the leaves of the plants grow bent and deformed in the form of an accordion.
Oncidium.
The family - Orchidaceae. Homeland - tropical America and the Caribbean.The genus includes about 100 ontsidium species.This is - an evergreen epiphytic orchid with pseudobulbs size from 5 to 30 cm thick leathery leaves are purplish - brown, dull, 25-30 cm in length.

Ontsidiumy bloom, usually in late autumn or winter.Accommodation. Like all orchids, ontsidium prefer light or poluzatenenie room. In the summer it is desirable to make the air, protecting it from direct sunlight. After flowering the plant set in a cool room with a temperature of 12-13 ° C.Care. During the period of growth and development ontsidiuma (May - September) is required copious irrigation defended water containing no lime. Watering every 2-3 substrate slightly dried. Plants require high humidity, so it is recommended to spray it regularly. At the same time 2-3 times a month, make a fertilizer for orchids.Pests and diseases. Pests - different kinds of aphids (green and white). At the wrong care can settle on a plant trip and develop gray mold.Reproduction. Pseudobulbs. When the pseudobulbs on the surface of the soil the plant should be transplanted into a substrate for orchids. This is usually done in March.Council. In ontsidiuma on the same shoot flowers can appear several times, so shoot after flowering should be shortened, but not more than one third of its length.
Paphiopedilum.
The family - Orchidaceae. Motherland - native to tropical Asia (India, Thailand, Philippines).There are over 500 species of this genus and a significant number of hybrids. A flower of this orchid is very similar to the shoe, so it is called "shoe veins."Pafiopedilyum - is an evergreen terrestrial orchid. The leaves are green, dark - green or gray - marble, up to 25 - 30 cm each rosette of leaves produces only stems 30-40 cm high, which may be single-flowered or multifloral. The dimensions of the flower varies from 7 to 12 cm flowers are a wide range of colors from white, yellow, purple and green to brown, often striped or mottled pafiopedilyumy.Accommodation. Pafiopedilyum prefer bright but not sunny room. In the summer, when warm, it is recommended to move to fresh air, at other times, the plant should be at room temperature in the winter - at a temperature not lower than 18-19 ° C. If the plant is winter on the windowsill, keep the soil in the pot was also at room temperature.Care. Pafiopedilyum must be watered with water at room temperature, containing no lime, and systematically sprayed by maintaining high humidity. Like other orchids, the substrate in the pot should be periodically dry out, but do not dry out! In the growth period (April - September), 2 times a month should make fertilizer for orchids. After flowering, if stagnant water in the pot and the substrate become an unpleasant odor, pafiopedilyum be transplanted into a new special soil for orchids.Pests and diseases. The plant is subject to attack scale insects, aphids, spider mites.When excessive watering can rot the roots and leaves turn black.Reproduction. Dividing the bush.
Phalaenopsis.
The family - Orchidaceae. Homeland - South - West Asia, Australia, the islands of Oceania.Currently, breeders introduced new hybrids of Phalaenopsis. They have a wide green or mottled leaves and flowers of a wide range of colors: white, yellow, bright - red, brown and even green. Depending on the species and varieties of Phalaenopsis in bloom throughout the year. Unlike many orchids they do not form pseudobulbs, they have well-developed root system.Accommodation. It prefers warm, bright place, protected from direct sunlight. In winter, the room temperature should be 20-22 ° C, and at night 15-16 ° C. Such a temperature variation contributes to a better education buds and flowers.Care. Requires moderate watering throughout the year with water at room temperature.Watered carefully, so that no water enters the plant. Keep the substrate slightly between waterings - just been drying. In the summer, to maintain high humidity, the plant should be sprayed. During the period of growth and development of Phalaenopsis, 2 times a month, fed a small amount of fertilizer for orchids. Every 2 years is recommended to repot the plant in loose soil for orchids with a mixture of expanded clay and pottery shards of small pieces.Pests and diseases. The main pests - Quadraspidiotus perniciosus, red spider mite. If indoor air is very dry, the plant may settle trip, and if too much moisture the plant is affected gray and brown rot.Reproduction. Perhaps the children, formed on the peduncles.Council. After flowering in the same shoot, you may receive a new inflorescence, so withered shoots cut only halfway.
PHAIUS.
The genus of large, mostly terrestrial plants, which emit high stalks with showy flowers.Species inhabit Fayusa tropical Asia, China, Japan, Australia, and west to Africa and Madagascar. The most commonly grown - P. tankervilliae - deciduous, terrestrial orchid, which is usually known as the Orchid "Nuns" or "Hidden Orchid". All varieties should be grown Fayusov as ground. If Fayus grown in pots, it should be grown in well-dried substrate, because its roots are intolerant of decomposed substrate that holds moisture a long time.Temperature: Fayus has grown in the temperature range 16 ° C at night and 24 ° C during the day. However, it allowed lower temperatures to 10 ° C or higher temperatures do32 ° C for a short period. Even so, these extremes can adversely affect growth and the need to avoid it if possible.Light: Fayus likes bright light, do not put it in the shade. In subtropical areas, it can be grown in full sun all year round. In other areas, Fayus can be adapted to full sun if you acclimatize gradually, but should be protected from the colder temperatures.Water: Since Fayusy - plants with pseudobulbs, they can keep their supply of water, making this aspect is very important in their culture. Avoid wetting the leaves when watering, but keep the substrate constantly wet. Fayus prefers to be evenly moist all year round, except for the time when new growth has matured. Then, you need to keep Fayus dry for about 3 - 4 weeks. Using too much water for irrigation or watering too often can cause a slight expansion and subsequent loss of roots. However, it should also be given the conditions in which plants are grown - humidity, light, temperature and air circulation.If the roots are in good condition, Fayus quickly adapts to schedule irrigation. Always start watering in the morning early enough to ensure that the plant, especially its crown of leaves, do not remain wet overnight. Plants with wet leaves are very susceptible to rot the root collar.Feeding: Fayus - big fans of food, so the frequency of fertilizer application should be determined taking into account the temperature, light intensity, and frequency of watering, all of these factors are interrelated. In general, application of dressings, is best done with a 10-day intervals. Fayus particularly fond of organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion, manure, and fermented. Organic fertilizers eliminate concern about the salinity of the substrate. Formula Fertilizer - 20-20-20 for a total growth.Landing: Landing the environment can be a special blend of orchid, or a combination of pine bark, sphagnum moss and peat. Environment must be permeable, and quite loose.Hot environment - a portion of the soil, 1 part sphagnum, 1 part of the cortex, or the average fraction of pumice, and 1 part cow manure. During the transplant may be reproduced Fayus: cutting the flowering stem, in several places above internodes of the stem, dormant growth "glazlk" closed triangular shell. Cut with hot knife, a flower stalk only after the last flower has fallen. Sprinkle with pieces of charcoal or gunpowder. Be part of the stem in moist sphagnum moss, in a bright spot. Pot for seedlings, after the roots, take a deep, wide, 5 - 7 cm.

Fragrant flowers are 8-10 cm in diameter tseloginy differ from other plants with white petals - yellow with red markings on the lip. This orchid is easy to grow indoors. One inflorescence blooms up to 30 days, usually from February until early April.Accommodation. Tselogina prefers half-shaded room. In summer the temperature in the room should be 20-25 ° C. In the winter tseloginu contain at 16 -17 ° C, and at night - at 12 ° C. From October to February in tseloginy takes a rest period.Care. During the period of intensive growth (May - September) tseloginu abundantly watered with water at room temperature. When watering do not put any water on the pseudobulbs and flowers. In winter, reduce watering. To increase the humidity of the plant are regularly sprayed with water. Once a month (except for a period of rest) tseloginu feed fertilizer for orchids.Pests and diseases. The main pests - spider mites, aphids. With dry air may cause thrips. Of the diseases most frequently encountered Fusarium.Reproduction. By dividing the rhizome into pieces, each of which must be at least 2-3 pseudobulbs multiply best in spring.Council. The majority of orchid pseudobulbs after flowering can survive for several years.
Cymbidium.
The family - Orchidaceae. Motherland - the tropics of Asia and Australia.
The most popular is C, (hybrid), bred by crossing many promising species. Stems from C, gibrschnogo more elongated, pointed leaves rigid linear. Flowers (10-15 units) are located on the long, slightly inclined peduncle. They are painted in a variety of colors: white, green, pink, yellow, brown and red. Blossoms, depending on variety and species, throughout the year.
