Cumbria care at home. Cumbria and all about her species. Useful Tips and Important Nuances

Fasting flowerflowers with excellent orchids led to the creation of a variety of complex hybrids. Cumbria is one of these miracles. The owner of the magnificent colors of various shapes and shades is very unpretentious. Compliance simple rules On the care of the plant at home will allow you to avoid common errors, thanks to which you can admire the beauty of Cumbria for a long time.

Origin and Description of the Orchid of Cumbria

Cumbria orchid is not any private view plants. The name is rather commercial, combining hybrid species, when creating three or more generics oncidium group. Nevertheless, each flower has its own name - for example, the name of the scientist who created a particular hybrid.

A common feature of hybrids is a sympodial (escape) type of growth. Cumbria has an oval pseudo-bulb, round or egg-shaped form. They are also called false bulbs. The main task is to accumulate nutrients to help the plant survive extreme conditions. The more false bulbs, the more healthier, Cumbria and more blossom.

Each pseudobulb produces up to 3 leaves. They are painted in a dark green color, in form narrow and long - up to 50 cm. The central vein is pronounced.

Unlike other orchids that have a powerful root system, capable of holding a plant on a carrier, Cumbria roots are very thin and easily vulnerable.

Cumbria is able to throw out several flowers simultaneously. Dozens of buds are located on one floral arrow. They are unfolded not all at once. The dimensions of the flowers are diverse in shape, range from 5 to 10 cm. They can be white, yellow, burgundy, creamy, pink. As a rule, Cumbria bloom several times a year.

In nature, such plants are not found. They were created solely for indoor flower growing. Cumbria is unpretentious and perfectly adapt to the surrounding conditions. This is perhaps the most undemanding representatives of the orchid family. Therefore, for novice flowerflowers, loved in orchids, Cumbria is the perfect option.

Buying Cambrid in the store, choose an instance with several pseudo-bulbs. The plant with one false bulb is usually not viable.

Hybrid species

1. Colmanar - hybrid, odontoglosum and oncidium. Long vertical bloomer appearing at the time of ripening of a young false bulb, topped with 5 or 20 flowers. In the colors predominate yellow and red colors. Duration of flowering - up to 8 weeks. Popular varieties: Wildcat Bobcat, Wildcat.
2. Wuistechara - a hybrid derived by the crossing of odontoglosumum, cochlodes and Miltonia. On long and elegant blooms are located from 5 to 20 flowers predominantly in the pink, yellow or red gamma. Flowering period - from the end of winter until the beginning of summer. Duration - up to 2 months. Presents a view of numerous varieties, including: Linda Isler "Red", Yokara Perfection, Melissa Brianne "Kai, S Choice".
3. Burrherara is a complex hydride, the parental forms of whom Miltonia, Kokhlion, Odontoglosum and. It is sophisticated: several flowers are going to inflorescences. In the coloring the combinations of yellow and red tones prevail. Flowering falls on the winter. The smell of such orchid resembles the aroma of roses. Sorts: Stefan Isler, Stefan Isler "Living Fire", Nellie Isler "Swiss Beauty".
4. Beallar is a complex hybrid obtained as a result of crossing 4 species: Braration, Miltonia, odontoglossum and coculions. The flowering period falls on the middle - the end of summer. Elegant flowers are painted in cream color with dark spots or white-pink-purple shades. Of large number The varieties are allocated: Peggy Ruth Carpenter "Morning Joy", Marfitch Howard, S Dream, Tahoma Glacier "ITHAN", Patricia Mc Cully.
5. Degarmoir - Miltonian Multidoral Hybrid, Odontoglossum and Braration. It has a variety of shape and color with flowers in size up to 10 cm. Some of these orchids have a pleasant fragrance. Flowers plant year-round. Grade: Flying High, Winter Wonderland "White Fairy".

Table: Conditions for home keeping

Summer flower wonderfully feels in the fresh air. In the garden or on a balcony for Cambria, a secluded place, protected from wind, rain and straight lines sun ray. IN room conditions The flower requires good air circulation, but the drafts are afraid.

Bright scattered light is required for Cumbria

Plant landing and transplantation

For planting plants, a new pot is needed. It should not be big, it is enough to choose the capacity of a little spacious than the previous one. The root Cambrian system should fill almost the entire volume of the packaging so that there is no threat to the convergence of the soil.

Material is preferable to all plastic. It is not necessary to buy transparent pots, for Cambrius it does not matter (but if the flower is inexperienced, then the transparent container will help control the state of the roots). But what really matters, so this is drainage holes. They should be big. On the walls, the pot also needs to make holes to improve the ventilation ventilation.

The substrate for Cambrius is usually acquired in a specialized store, where there is a large selection of mixtures for orchid. You can prepare the material and own it, mixing the pine boring of the middle fraction (this is the main component), moss-sphagnum and charcoal. Peat is not very suitable, it is too moisture. Although, if the room is very hot and soil quickly enhances, you can add a little in the main ground to hold moisture. And if the situation of the opposite character, the pieces of pembolus will help, perfectly absorbing excess moisture.

The main condition - the substrate must pass moisture well and air.

Many flowerflowers at landing do not use drainage, submitted bottom pot with large slices of bark. But he still does not hurt, and even give a pot of greater stability.

Orchid Cumbria does not like transplants. Usually, it is subjected to such procedures once every 3-4 years, when the roots completely mastered the pots of the pot, and the pseudo-bulbs were so much so that they were not placed within the limits of the old tank. The plant is transplanted immediately after flowering when new pseudo-bulbs are just starting to build roots.

There are situations at which you should not wait until the plant is flashing. The urgent transplantation is carried out in case of problems with roots in cases of frequent convergence of the soil. In addition, it is desirable to immediately move the purchased plant. So you can evaluate the state of the root system and save Cababra from the transportation soil, which does not suit her.

Step-by-step transplant process:

1. Gently remove Cambrid out of pot. If the plant has already been subjected to transplants, then we try not to disturb the root system, that is, we use the transshipment method. If orchid in the store substrate, then it must be removed as much as possible. Try especially carefully to explore the middle of the root coma. There, as a rule, peat cups remain, moss lumps or even foam rubber pieces.
2. Be sure to remove dry and dead pseudobulb. If the roots are damaged, cut the rotten, hollow or broken areas, and the wounds sprinkle with pushed coal. Leave for several hours for drying.
3. Drainage is fed to the new pot, and on top of it we place the prepared mixture for orchids.
4. Cambrid is set in a new container, carefully placing the roots and sleep the remaining substrate, trying to put the particles of more larger, and on top to lay those that are in bed. Sometimes you can tap the pot on the walls to the walls so that the pieces of the cortex are evenly distributed between the roots. Pseudobulb do not block, they should be left on the surface!
5. Transplanted Cumbria should keep well in the ground. So that it does not rush, install backups in the form of sticks and tear the plant to them

The plant after the transplant does not water the days 5-6, during this time root system Recover, and possible wounds will delay.

The root system of Cumbria is very gentle, so when transplanting you need to act neat

Secrets of care at home

How to water the soil?

Cumbria is not so moisture, like other orchids. The plant can not be reserved. The sophisticated root Cambrury system is extremely sensitive to water stagnation and can die very quickly. Therefore, the flower is watered only after the substrate is dry, especially in the middle of the pot. But this does not mean that you can forget about Cambrid for a long time. If the pseudo-bulbs start wrinkled, then the plant used all the accumulated reserves and needs urgent watering. The mode is:

• in the summer - every 6-8 days. When it is very hot, the period between moisturizes is reduced;
• in winter, if heating system It does not work yet, and on the street is already cool and damp - 1 time in 10-14 days.

The ideal method of watering for Cambrius is a dive pot of 1/3 to the water. In summer, the plant is drinking moisture in 20 minutes, in winter it is reduced to 5 minutes. Water for watering or immersion use only pure, well-resistant or filtered.

Should I make feeding to the substrate?

Cambrid should be perficing very carefully due to the sensitive root system. Usually use fertilizers for orchids, but they bind their water more than the norm. Excessive amount can burn the roots of the plant. The period of feeding lasts from March to September, the optimal frequency is 1-2 times a month.

Some flowerflowers prefer fade by extractive, using a very weak fertilizer concentrate.

The feeding stops when flowering begins. Accumulated pseudobulby useful substances It is enough for this period.

What to do with orchid when she blooms or blew?

Flowers appear on Cumbria throughout the year. If the flowering period falls on the autumn-winter season - be sure to use additional backlight so that the floweros does not drop buds. Coloros (one, sometimes two) are developing on new pseudo-bulbs every 9 months, usually without requiring any stimulation. The duration of this phenomenon is 5-7 weeks.

Beginner flowers sometimes complain that Cumbria does not bloom for a long time. There may be several reasons:

• insufficient lighting, especially in winter;
• very high indoor air temperature;
• move the substrate.

To force Cambrid to bloism as follows. At the time of the beginning of the formation of a new pseudobulb sharply reduce the frequency of irrigation. When the false bulb forms and rescues, stop watering at all, setting the period of drought. The pseudobulb will start wrinkling, then it will be necessary to quickly pour Cambrid, after which it's good to "dry". In this mode, hold the plant until a new color code appears. This usually occurs within 2-4 weeks. Then the watering mode is resumed.

After the end of the flowering period of Cumbria, dry flowers are completely removed.

A clearly pronounced rest of Cambrius does not exist. But after all, after flowering, you need to give a plant a little rest so that it can gain strength before new. For this flower create certain conditions: Contain under reduced temperatures (15-16 ° C), they are pulled at a minimum, and the feeding and stop at all. As a rule, the period when the plant rests, falls on the cold months.

Resuscitation orchids without roots

In Cambrius, a large potential for the accumulated pseudobulb nutrients. Therefore, the more young false bulbs remained, the better.

1. If Cumbria blooms, cut the flowers. It will take the plants necessary for the restoration of power.
2. If the rotten roots remained, remove them. Treat the remaining Fundazole.
3. In a small pot, pour a bark and firmly fix Cababria. The plant should not be fused.
4. On top of the bark you can lay a non-footing layer of moss-sfagnum.
5. Put the container with the plant into a non-fit and bright place away from drafts.
6. Do not water the flower, it is believed only to spray the top layer of the substrate or moss.
7. Support the humidity of the air, spraying from the finely dispersed pulverizer water around orchid.

If you have a greenhouse or an old aquarium, you can use them. In this case, Cababria is fixed on a piece of cortex and install inside aquarium, for example. The root system in greenhouse conditions and without a pine substrate increases rather quickly. It is necessary to aircraft and maintain moisture.

But in the water to increase the roots is not worth it. This method is suitable for other types of orchids, but not for Cambrius. You can try to secure the plant above the surface of the water and wait. When the roots appear, Cambrid will need to fix on the pine crust.

Cambrian reproduction

Cambrid will determine the division of the bush. If the plant has become closely in the old capacity, then when transplanting the bush is divided in such a way that each part has at least three pseudobulb. The procedure is made carefully, trying not to damage the roots. Ranks and sections sprinkle with thustenance coal and dried. Then planted the separated material into the substrate from the bark and do not watered the week. The first feeder produce at least a month.

Cumbria care needs no less than other types of orchids. But the first thing that each flower should understand is that Cumbria is the conditional name of all orchid type hybrids. The purpose of creating such plants is the conclusion of new, less whimsally in the care of flowers. It is worth noting that the varieties that are referred to as Cambrians are great for home cultivation. The most popular varieties of these hybrids are: "Colmanar", "Beallar", "Burrgeara", "Military", "odontiza", "Brasidium" and others.

Cambrian content at home

The Cumbria content at home is to ensure the optimal temperature and lighting, it is also important with watering (it often depends very often, whether your flower blooms and how long), correct feeding and timely transplant. Since the grade of these plants is derived specifically for home content, maintain the conditions necessary for the life of the flower, it will not be so difficult for you. Cumbria variety hybrids are perfect for beginner flowerflowers. However, when buying, pay attention to some features of the flower:

• there should be no spots on the flower, and the boules should be dense.

It is worth knowing! On the sheets of the plant can be a small rash (as in the photo). This suggests that the flower has been processed before selling on sale with antifungal drugs, and since the flowers are treated with large parties, it is possible that small residues of fungus can remain on them. It is not scary! But if you have acquired such a plant, follow orchids so that there are no other signs of defeat on it.

If you pay attention to such small little things, you buy a healthy flower that will not burden you to care for it.

Watering, temperature, humidity and lighting

Watering, temperature, humidity and lighting are those important factors on which the appearance and flowering of your flower depend.

1. Watering. Like other orchids varieties, Cumbria prefers irrigating the immersion method. The pot with a flower put a random water container and leave for 20-30 minutes. During this time, the substrate is drinking moisture. The main thing is after such watering to give a track of an extra liquid, otherwise the roots can be negated over time. Watering is an important piece of plant care, it is necessary to find here golden middle. Although orchid loves the wet environment, but excessive moisture can destroy it. For watering, it is possible to use only the residual or purified water temperature.

1. Temperature. Cumbria, in contrast to other species, is pretty good to transfers heat. She is wonderful at the temperature of up to 25 degrees. But the temperature differences in the afternoon and at night she is needed, so it is very important that at night degrees falling at least 4. This differential is necessary for proper formation Buds.
2. Humidity. Cumbria does not need a big humidity - this is one of its features. While classic species require humidity at least 70%, 35% will be enough for Cumbria. It is not difficult to maintain such a parameter, it is enough to spray the leaves and the surface of the substrate with extrasted water. Agree, for those who contain flower in the apartment, it's just a find.
3. Lighting! For Cambria, good lighting is very important, but from direct sunlight it is better to take care of it. Flower will feel good if you stand from Eastern or Western side. In winter, the orchids of this variety often lack light, and have to resort to additional lighting with special lamps.

These are the conditions for Cumbria. Agree to support them is not difficult.

Transplantation, reproduction and fertilizer orchids

Transplantation, reproduction and fertilizer orchids are also important for the plant. The first thing is to Cumbria, is the right soil that should consist of:

• grinding sphagnum is a genus moss that grows on the surface of the swamps;
• pine bark, which should be crushed;
• wood coal - this component helps to maintain the acidic balance of the soil, after decomposing the bark, as the orchids do not like the acidic soil;
• in order for the container to go well in the container, add clamzite or pumose to the substrate.

It is worth knowing! Sometimes for good air permeability to the bottom, the pot lay foam. But this component is lightweight and when watering (by immersion) does not allow the container completely. Take into account this moment if you use this component.

Cambrian transplant is carried out 1 time in 2-3 years. She, like other orchids, does not like frequent concern, so it is necessary to transplant the flower only as a last resort.

The transplant process passes as follows:

1. First you need to prepare a container that should be a bit more than the previous one, and the substrate (described above).
2. Now you need to carefully pull out Cababria from the pot, clean the roots from the old soil, you can even wash them under water. Well inspect the flower and roots. If you find damage or rot, remove the affected area. Also remove your wishing and dried bleb
3. First, lower the roots of the orchid into the container, while paying attention to where a new process will grow, as it should be left for it. Therefore, the flower is planted and pressed to the edge of the tank so as to leave a place for new boulevards. Plush orchid prepared by the substrate, and on top. Put moss to hold moisture in the container.

Before boarding a pine borer, you need to boil several times, and only then add a substrate to a mixture. This procedure allows you to get rid of the resin, which is absolutely not needed. In addition, such a procedure drinks a bark of additional moisture.

The feeding is another factor that gives the flower the opportunity to grow well. Fertilize the plant is best when it is intensively growing and when boulevards ripen (usually October-February). Classic mixtures for orchids are suitable for feeding, which can be purchased in specialized stores.

It is worth knowing! In the first and last month, feeding should gradually reduce the amount of fertilizer so that the flower is gradually gained and just as gradually died.

The feeder is carried out 1 time in 2 weeks - this is enough. You can use the feeder, spraying the leaves in parallel. Excellent suitable succinic acid (very useful tool for orchids).

Cumbria reproduction is best done at the time of transplant. At home, it is possible to propagate orchid by dividing the bush (risoma). Each bush should remain after division at least three boulevards, otherwise the flower will not bloom and it will have problems with growth. The division must be produced with a sharp knife, the movement must be fast, but neat. Cuts are necessarily treated with charcoal and leave the plant for a day so that the "wounds" are dried. After that, orchids are seated in different pots. Be sure to follow the bulbs to remain on the surface, they can not be bought into the ground. Water flower for the first weeks can not. You can only spray the sheets and the top layer of the soil. Seven days after the transplant, it is possible to make the first watering.

Care during flowering and after

Care during flowering and after it differs only by feeding. In general, Cumbria is famous for the fact that it can bloom without special stimulations - this is its undoubted advantage over other varieties of orchids. How to feed the flower and what period is written above, but some nuances should be known. So, for example, Cumbria's bloom in winter Requires additional light (special lamps will provide it).

But how to be if the flower refuses to bloom from year to year? Probably, many wondered by this issue. If watering, lighting and humidity is normal, then try to take the following actions:

1. When Cumbria will release the first young bouffer, cutting watering and, when it (or they, if there are several of them) fully formed, stop watering at all. Dry the soil completely. Bulba, even those that only appeared, start wrinkling.
2. After you have arrested a flower well (this process lasts somewhere 2 weeks), pour it a little one.
3. Dry and water a little after that flower until it breaks the flower. When you noticed it, resume irrigation.

The whole process of "drought" takes no more than a month. Such an emergency change of irrigation will benefit the plant that has not been bloody more than a year. Most often, Cumbria does not bloom because of too frequent irrigation. And it is the described actions forcing the flower to come back.

Pests, diseases and care for sick camp

Identification of pests, diseases and care for the sick Cababri - one of the main components of the flower concerns. Insects overcome the plant most often with not proper care. Below you can familiarize yourself with the table in which one of the most frequent orchid diseases are described:

But the disease is not the only danger that flower can be subjected. Insects and bugs are not less damaged: a shield, a web tick, funked and other insects that leave behind the leaves of all sorts of spots and traces. The struggle with such "guests" is carried out by applying a soap solution for at least 25-30 minutes. After that, the flower put under warm shower, washed well from the foam and wipe dry. It will not be superfluous and insecticide "Sorrow."

Flowers love care, and the correct way: competent irrigation mode, moderate lighting, fertilizer during certain cycle periods. If you stick to simple rules, your flower will rejoice you for a long time, and the "unborn guests" in the form of insects will be bypassed. Below you can watch a video in which it tells how to care for the colors of the genus of Cumbria. Good luck!

Cumbria is the general name of orchid hybrids specially derived by breeders not found in the wild environment. Plants dissolve beautiful flowers Different shades, depending on the variety. Thanks to attractive appearance, they are often used to decorate the interior of residential and office space.

Cumbria has a second name - an asterisk, due to the shape of the colors. Distinctive features of orchid:

• pseudo-bulb rounded or oblong shape, up to 8 cm;
• skinny leaf plates;
• steady growth type;
• one of the side axes grows very quickly and becomes the main, as a result of this, the second shifts or dies;
• on false bulbs in two or three dark green leaf with a vein in the center reaching 0.5 m;
• flowers of different shades with inclusions, diameter - 50 mm-10 cm.

Caring for the plant at home for seasons:

Landing, transplant

The substrate for landing is better to buy in the store, but you can prepare yourself, its composition: rhizome fern, moss, coal, coniferous or oak bark in equal amounts.

Before planting, the earth is impregnated with a soft, saturated water. With dry air, peat is added to the pot, it will delay the liquid. With high humidity in the ground, small pieces of pumice are pumped.

Cumbria is hard to transfer a transplant, so you need to do it more often than once every two or four years.

Signs that a new pot is needed:

• the root system is closely in the old, the processes come out out;
• the substrate became drunk, moldy, boosts;
• the flower bought recently and does not give buds.

Step-by-step transplant:

• Buy a pot of ceramics a little more than the previous one, as orchid does not like a lot of free space. It should have drainage holes.
• On the bottom, laying a 2 cm gravel layer, to cover the coniferous bark above.
• Carefully clean the root stick from the ground, put orchid into a new pot.
• With a highly developed rhizome process, adjust the outward.
• Fill the substrate, the bulbs do not plunge.
• Do not water five days so that the soil is good.

Watering and feeding

It is better to produce by watering the immersion method: orchid is placed for 30 minutes into water tank. After removing, the residues of the liquid are given drain.

With surface irrigation, you need to be careful, do not pour the plant so that the roots do not start rot. Conducted as the upper layer of soil drying. Use the soft water of medium acidity, better than melting or rain, from the water supply system should be filtered, defend.

In the vegetative period, feeding makes twice every two weeks. For fertilizer acquire special mixtures for orchids. Their concentration must be two times less than indicated on the package. The feeder is brought to a wet substrate.

Families blossom

Usually blooms in autumn-winter. However, if all conditions have been created for the development of orchids (temperature, humidity, illumination), flowering can be year-round.

Each blooming blooms 4-8 weeks (depending on the variety). Since there are several of them, orchid gives buds all year round. The life cycle of plants provide pseudobulb. Before flowering, the bulbs get fat, juice sticks in them, flower makers are formed from leafy sinuses. After the pseudobulb dry out. Soon, their foundations again begin the formation of sprouts, it is the beginning of a new life cycle.

You also need to stop watering during the formation of boulevards. After their maturation, the moisturization of the soil resumes, and after a few days to stop again. This speeds up the appearance of flowers.

Care after flowering

When the plant is flashing, dried flower makers are cut, the watering stops. With a strong soil drying, its irrigation from the pulverizer is permissible. When new sprouts are achieved in a height of 3 cm, the watering resumes.

Reproduction

The reproduction is divided by the bush:

• From the strengthened, adult copies separated bulbs. Do it carefully, so as not to damage the rhizome.
• Sections of sections are treated with coal powder.
• Dellets are placed in pots so that the growth point is located in the middle.
• The rapid bulbs are poorly held in the ground, so they are fixed with small sticks.
• For shoots, they carry out the same care as the mature instances.

When dividing the bush on each share should be the same amount of pseudobulb. A week after landing, orchid does not need to water, fertilize, move. Seeds plant do not multiply.

Cababaria's care errors and their elimination

In case of insufficient care, Cambrian may have problems. Possible errors and ways to eliminate them:

Diseases and pests

Resuscitation of Cambria

With bad conditions of detention and insufficient care, the root system of the flower boots and dies. However, it can still be reanimated.

On labels in flower shops, you can often see the name: "Cambria Mix". In the pedigree Hybrid orchid of Cumbria, several representatives are obsessed: cochlodes, brasses, oncidium, odontoglosum, Miltonia.

Each of the "parents" gave Cumbria to the most positive out of its qualities: large flowers of juicy colors surrendered hybrids from representatives of the kind of odontoglosums, pleasant fragrance - from Mintonia or Braration, and rich and multicolored drawings - from Wilsonary and Beallar.

Cambrian Orchid Growing Terms: Lighting and Air Temperature

Cumbria is unpretentious, nevertheless has certain preferences: Western or Eastern window sills, bright diffused light, without open sun rays, on the northern - the plant is dark, on the southern - the likelihood of burns is great. Comfortable temperature - from 16 to 28 ºC, the oscillation between the night and daytime temperatures should be 3-5 ºC. In winter, the temperature should not fall below 14 ºC.

Important: temperatures change stimulates inflorescences, but does not have a decisive value.

How to water orchid Cambrid

Generously moisturize the substrate is necessary in new pseudobulb. Then watering to cut about 2-3 weeks, resume with the advent of young bloom. After flowering, during the rest, watering gradually reduce until a complete termination.

The substrate between irrigation should be thoroughly dry. It should be remembered that in crude weather he dries slower than in warm and dry. Approximate frequency of watering: in warm weather - once a week, cool or rainy - once every two weeks. Water should be filtered, distinguished or boiled. The presented orchid type is sensitive to its quality. Watering is better to carry out the method of immersing the pot on 2/3 of its height in the container with an estate water temperature for 20-30 minutes.

After the flower "goes out", you need to remove it from the watering reservoir. Do not put on the usual place while the water is not completely glass, otherwise it is not avoiding the root rotting. Between the watering of the soil should be saturated almost until the bottom.

IMPORTANT: Cambrid is better to overcover than to pour. Water should not be provided on pseudobulbach to prevent their posting.

Air humidity

Orchid asterisk wonderfully lives with a habitual air humidity facility, especially at low ambient temperature. She is comfortable even at 25-30%. It is necessary to increase the humidity only in winter, if the orchid does not go down on peace, and the heating devices are too close, and when new color pains and pseudo-bulb begin to form.

Near the plant you can put utensils with water, a wet clay or every day to sprinkle the air near the leaves of orrosyki. Directly on the leaves, the liquid should not fall, because brown specks may arise from the droplets.

Substrate for Cambrian

The best substrate for Cambrian consists of fern roots, charcoal, pine bark, forest moss, coconut chips.

How to feed Cababria orchid

The plant needs regular to enrich the substrate with the beginning of the growth of the pseudobulb before the start of flowering. Frequency - 1-2 times a month. Fertilizer is added to water container. By watering, the pot is completely immersed in water with fertilizer.

Comprehensive mineral feeding should have a weak concentration: twice as weaker indicated in the instruction. This orchid has pretty gentle, sensitive roots that can be easily burned with fertilizers. For the same reason, it is desirable to alternate root feeding with extractive. Preferably feeding with a high content of microelements of the C, KA, MG group.

During and after flowering, before the growth of the growth of new pseudobulb, Cababria is not fed. IMPORTANT: The plant is better to undermine how to overnight.

Trimming

Remove exclusively sworded stems and dried leaves, forming pruning do not conduct.

How to make the color of Cababria at home?

In order for Cumbria to bloop continuously, you need to give her time to rush. The more bush, more in it bullbars and sprouts, the most likely the flowerons will appear. In order for Cumbria to bloody, it is enough to provide it with the right departure: a moderate watering with a burden of soil and scattered bright lighting.

When and how to transplant orchid Cambrid

Frequency of Cumbria orchid transfers - once every 2-3 years. Causes of transplant:

• keeping, salinization, soil rotting;
• flower growth when the roots begin to drink out of the pot.

Optimally transplanted orchid when young roots on a new bouffer did not appear, but only expected. Pots are suitable plastic or ceramic, since the root system of Crabry does not like the light. In size, the capacity takes a little more than the previous one, since in large cambria it is easily replenished. Soil is a regular substrate for orchids and epiphytes of medium and small fraction. If there is too dry air in the room, a slight airlitium or vermiculite can be added to the substrate to retain moisture. At the bottom of the pot, it is necessary to put drainage, the boules on top of the substrate are not sprinkled.

Cut exclusively after the end of the flowering period. After the plant is transplanted, it does not water, do not fertilize, do not rearrange to another place for 5-7 days.

Cumbria Blossom: Correct Care During Flowering

Orchid asterisk pleases those surrounding bloom closer to winter, so needed empty lighting. The average flowering period is a little more than a month. Then the plant begins to form new boulevards. A year later, the blooming appears again. If a new bug is born instead of flowering, the watering mode should be changed.

Stimulus to become the so-called "drying". Reduced watering during the growth of pseudobulb, after their formation - to give up watering for two weeks, then moisturizing the substrate and again give to stand without water. This will force Cababria to throw away the flowers and then you can restore the usual order of watering.

How to care for Kambrid after flowering

1. Do without winter holidays, just install additional lighting and take care of improving air humidity.
2. Reduce watering, stop feeding, move to a cool light room (the air temperature should be no lower than 14 ° C, optimally 16-18 ° C).

Reproduction of Cumbria at home

Spank flower division bush:

• from adult copies gently divide the pseudobulb, without damaging the roots of the plant;
• slices are processed by poured coal;
• the shares are cleared so that the growth point is located as close as possible to the center of the pot;
• non-rooted pseudobulb is badly held in the soil. They are fixed with a wand-support;
• caring for adult orchidic.

The week after landing the decens do not watered, do not feed, do not move. The flower begins to slowly root, damaged roots are tightened.

IMPORTANT: when transplanting the bush is divided in half to be in order for each of the decene same number bulb.

Cabria is very simple: just enough to gently push the roots with your hands and cut to the decene. The resulting new bushes are planted separately as adult plants.

Diseases and pests Orchid Cumbria

Cumbria designer

Like all living things, flower may suffer from fungal and bacterial infections. Fungal diseases appear from permanent excess moisture in roots, and bacterial is transferred to sucking pests.

The first sign of the problem can be the yellowed leaves. If the fungal disease is detected, it follows:

• remove the plant from the pot;
• hold the day in a dry place;
• dry stem, roots;
• to be treated with a solution of fungicide;
• after drying the roots of Cababria, you need to plant in fresh soil.

There are other reasons for the yellowing of Cumbria's leaves. This is a disadvantage in the substrate substance and, trite, but in the dry season, individual plants are reset the old leaves.

Black dots on Cumbria's leaves

Black dots on Cambrian - alarming sign of bacterial lesion. Bacteria, settling on orchid, most likely destroy it if you do not make urgent actions. The part of the plant affected by the bacterial disease should be removed immediately, and the orchid is treated with fungicide (phytosporin). After processing, the plant is kept in a bright place separately from other colors, do not watered and do not spray.

If Cumbria leaves in dark spots, this is a sign of aging:

In the case described in the video, it is not necessary to worry: the sworded bulbs with old leaves are covered with stains, and this is a natural process.

Cambrian pests

Cambrid simply "homecoming" insect pests: Shield, Cherwec, TRIPS, cute clamps, whiteflies.

Cherweans - tiny fluffy white lumps. These crumbs are one of the most serious pests. It is necessary to remove them mechanically: a cotton swab, moistened liquid soap, alcohol, beer, wipe the leaves of Cumbria. If the workers are too much - to treat the plant twice a week with phytodeterm.

Belonels - larvae of this butterfly suck of juices leaves. Orchid weakens, sick and drops leaves. If the case is not neglected, it is possible to destroy the larvae with a soap solution (one part of the economic soap and six parts of water). With complex cases will help to cope with the spraying of accomplishing solutions, Aktara. A week later, the procedure is repeated.

TRIPS - sucking insects, are affecting not only ground parts, but also the roots of Cumbria. Clean the thrips with double processing solutions of accuters, actars, phytodeterm with intervals per week.

Cellite ticks - pests, feed on plant juice, making tiny punctures in the leaves and buds of Cumbria. Leaves and flowers appear. The reason for the appearance is a systematic lack of moisture. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the humidity of the substrate and air, twice with the interval per week to treat acaricides.

How to reanimate Cambrida

Invalid care for the orchid of Cumbria leads to rotten root system. Since this beauty is unpretentious, you can try to reanimate it:

• free plant from pot;
• examine roots, trim rotten parts;
• to be treated with a solution of foundazola;
• to build roots to put it in a wet moss.

After placing an orchid on a wet moss, you just need to maintain it slightly wet. As moisturizing one or twice a week, the spraying of the space from the fine sprayer around the orrosyki is suitable. Drops should not flow on the leaves. The procedure should be alternate with a spraying solution of Fundazola: twice the third. The process of forming roots is long enough, but, adhering to elementary rules, you can save the plant. Orchid asterisk not yet one year will delight with his bloom.

The orchid of Cumbria is not a picky flower, which can be deservedly called Queen orchids. With proper care, the plant will give persistent and beautiful flowering. And the care is consistent with the three main components: moderate watering, medium temperature and abundant diffused lighting.

Cumbria without roots can easily be reanimated, for about a month new roots will appear if you have a little concern for the plant.

Odontocidium is also a simple hybrid between odontoglosum and oncidium. At the same time, flowerca can bring up to fifty medium-sized flower, yellow and red flowers with dark patterns.

Despite all the diversity, care for all hybrids is the same, not at all complicated. Cumbria is the most undemanding of orchids, so beginners are recommended.

Cambrid orchid can be distinguished by such general features:

• rounded, well-developed pseudo-bulbs can carry up to three leaves;
• narrow, long leaves are pretty tightly, painted in dark green, have a pronounced veil;
• escape type of growth.

Orchid flowers can be the most diverse in shape (star, rounded), size from 1 to 10 cm and painting. Frequently found colors: yellow, brown, red, purple. Due to the similarity of the flower of some hybrids with an asterisk, the orchid Cumbria has another name - orchid asterisk. It is distinguished by continuous flowering, excellent decorative properties: plants are able to bloom several times in a year.

Cumbria is not a natural look, so it does not occur in the natural environment. This is a commercial collective name of orchids, which are derived specifically for room growing. By purchasing such orchids, take into account one very important nuance: do not buy plants that have only one pseudobulb in stock, even if there are several flowers. Such colors are almost always unsafe.

Unique, delicious creation of human hands - Orchid Cumbria - amazing the variety of their appears. Juicy colors scarpa, raspberry, orange-apricot and brown gamma with vitivati \u200b\u200bpatterns In Krapinka and strip are decorated with royal luxury marble petals.

Over the creation of the best representatives of amazing orchids worked during the last century breeders and hybridizers. Cumbria orchid is not a natural plant, but the trade name of a whole group of hybrid varieties derived from participation different species From the birth of Kokhlion, oncidium, odontoglosum, Miltonia, odontic, Wilson, and some others. Most of them grow in cool wet and warmer tropical forests South America On the pads from Moha, covering trunks and branches of trees.

The first hybrid was obtained in 1911 by Mr. Charles Wood from the crossing of Odontoglossum Crispum X Miltonia X Cochlioda Noetzliana and was named in His honor of Wilstecara. After about 10 years, the legendary VUYLSTEKEARA Cambria Plush appeared with flowers similar to the smashed young lady. Since then, many unrivaled interhown hybrids have been created in their beauty, which received the general commercial name of the Orchid of Cumbria.

The root Cumbria system is well developed. The roots are numerous, white, usually wept the substrate whose vessel walls. In the plant, oval pseudo-bulbs up to 8 cm high, it grows from 2-3 dark emerald sheets of half-meter length. Long bloom develops from the base of the pseudobulb and is usually the heavy inflorescence of 3-7 large colors with a circle up to 10 cm.

After flowering, the orchid forms a pseudobulb that next season forms a color-free stem. The formation of buds does not depend on the time of year and occurs 9-10 months after the previous flowering. There is no pronounced period of rest in the plant, but after flowering orchid should have some time to relax.

Landing Cambrian

Cambrius is best to produce after spring flowering, starting from May-month. The signal to move to a new floral capacity can be served roots, seemed from the substrate and directed upwards, as well as the pots of new shoots beyond the limits.

Cumbria is grown in ceramic or plastic pots, optionally transparent, but with a sufficient number of holes at the bottom and in the walls to ensure sufficient aeration of the roots and flowing irrigation water. During the transplant, the pot is selected, a diameter of more than the previous one by 5 cm, and if the division of the bush during a transplant is envisaged, the same as the old one. The new vessel should be designed to make another 2-3 new growth in the future.

The substrate for the cultivation of Crabria consists of medium-shallow pine bark and charcoal, a good layer of clay drainage is required at the bottom of the floral capacity. The plant in a new pot has so that the newest escape is in the center, and the old pseudobulb - near the vessel wall. Capacity is carefully filled with fresh substrate, slowly pushing the pieces of the cortex between the roots.

The transplanted plant leaves on one day alone, so that all the small worshipers were dried. The next day, the orchid is attacked and put on the windowsill of the shaded window, while the roots are not fixed firmly in the new substrate, then rearrange the pot with a plant for a permanent place of the plant content at home.

Placement conditions in the house

The appropriate place for Crabria in the apartment is the windowsill of the northeast or Eastern, Western window, on the southern plant receives sunny burns sheet plates. Cumbria loves a lot of light, but it is better to take care of her solar rays. If bloom falls on the winter months, the orchid will need highlighting with special lamps.
The plant does not tolerate summer heat, drafts and sharp temperature differences. He needs a smooth moderately warm microclimate from 16 degrees in winter (and not lower) to 25 degrees of heat in summer (and no more).

Orchid Cumbria: Home Care

The plant does not tolerate the convergence, so watering must be balanced so that the substrate between the next humidifiers is completely saturated, but not remained so for several days. Watering rationally carry out the immersion method into soft warm water for 20-25 minutes, then it is desirable to wait until the water is fully stroke through the drain holes, and only then put the plant in its place. During irrigation, it is necessary to ensure that the water does not get inside the sinuses of the leaves, where it can provoke their tissue rotting.

The orchid Cumbria needs high humidity only in the period of high air temperatures. When the plant is contained in rooms with thermometer indicators 18 degrees of heat and no more sufficiently maintain the humidity of the environment within 40-50%. With the missing moisture in the air, it is raised by means of humidifiers or placed nearby vessels with water. Spray the plant is very careful, especially blooming, trying to the water drops do not fall on the petals and leaves.

During the growing season, when a new sprout is formed, Cambrid feeds once a month with special fertilizers for orchids, reducing the concentration against the one specified on the package twice or three times. With the beginning of blossoms, feeding stops. Resume after some time after wilting the colors when the first signs of the formation of a new growth appear.

Methods of breeding

Cambrid's orchid breeds by dividing the bush into several parts or at least in half. It is important to comply with the condition - there should be no less than 3, and better than 4 shoots with pseudobulbs and one axial escape.

The plant is taken out of the pot and discover that the substrate outside is braided roots, densely taking the space at the vessel walls. It is almost impossible to divide the roots of the roots, orchievodes advise simply cut them with disinfectant scissors into two parts, and then stripped pieces of the old substrate.

The sections are sprinkled with a powder of activated or charcoal and sear the decenes in separate containers, observing the general rules for planting the orchid of Cumbria. A new young escape should point to the center of the pot, and the old pseudobulb have one of the walls.
The seed method of breeding for Cambrius does not apply - the hybrids grown from seeds will be completely dissimilar on their parents. However, this is successfully used in selection to remove new varieties.

Diseases and pests of Cumbria

Dry yellow leaves tips are observed in irregular orchids or in a plant placed indoors with very low air humidity. Dry areas are cut by scissors above the yellowing zone in the form of the letter V.

A fully yellowed sheet with black dots, chaotic scattered over the entire sheet plate, indicates the presence of a fungal infection. In this case, the affected leaflet is completely removed, and all the plant is treated with one of the systemic fungicides.

The strips of the erased top layer of the leaf of the leaf and the remaining thin, as if parchment, the skin, dried later, will tell the flower, that in the pot together with the orchid profits from the greenhouse "the tenant" - snails. They are collected by hand, laying on the substrate surface special bait. Many flower flowers believe that in this case it is better to transplant the plant to look good roots and rinse them, freeing from unwanted guests.

Dry air favors the appearance on the leaves of orchids, especially on their underside, shields. Mathematical Chervests love to hide between leaves and pseudobulbami. From the pests, Cababria is treated with a system insecticide, after 3-4 weeks the spraying is repeated.
