It likes cool and ventilated semi-shade environment, is more cold-resistant, does not hibernate in winter, and the minimum temperature of overwintering is above -10℃. It is suitable for planting in loose, breathable and well-drained fern roots, water moss or humus. It is native to temperate and subtropical high altitude areas. I like the climate with four seasons. The temperature should not be higher than 25 degrees Celsius in summer. The occasional 30-degree day is bearable. During the winter dormant period, the temperature should be close to freezing point. That's an ideal one to five degrees Celsius. This temperature is basically the same as that of a general refrigerator freezer. After low temperature dormancy for a period of time, it will sprout new buds. The potted planting season is very flexible. In Harbin, China, it can be grown outdoors in spring and summer, and hibernated in a refrigerator in winter. If it is planted in Guangzhou, it can be planted outdoors in winter and spring, and put in the refrigerator to sleep in summer. Out-of-season planting must know the local temperature. Control watering in advance and cut off water gradually. If the water is cut off early, the appropriate growth period is wasted. If it is too late, the plants are exposed to high temperatures. Often can not enter hibernation normally and sudden death.

Propagate by sowing or dividing. Garlic orchid and the Netherlands
tulip
It's very similar. It's a pseudo-bulb that's renewed every year. Therefore, adequate fertilizer is needed to develop a pseudo-bulb that can flower the following year. The new pseudobulb grows above the old bulb and on the side of the basal disc (bud). At the end of the season, before dormancy, should be graded according to size. The smaller ones may not flower for two or three years. An old pseudobulb grown last year will no longer have leaves, but it will produce small pseudobulbs on the top and sides. The lateral pseudobulb begins to resemble a bud and then becomes enlarged into a pseudobulb. Due to immature embryo, it can only be sown in the medium under sterile conditions, and the reproduction is dominated by the natural substrains of pseudobulbs. Propagation should be carried out after autumn when the above-ground part of the seedlings fall and the pseudobulbs are dormant. Newly transplanted plants should be watered to prevent rot of the bulbs. Thin fertilizer should be applied during the growing season.

In the Yangtze River basin of China, especially in the vast areas of provinces and regions of the Younan region, suitable places can be selected to introduce A. solanum. In better forest land can be set up special nursery large-scale productive cultivation. It can also be planted in other garden plants. Open field planting (not potted in the greenhouse) should choose loose soil, containing a lot of humus, and good drainage under the forest or semi-shady place. It requires good ventilation and high air humidity in spring, summer and autumn. If the soil is too sticky or poor, change the soil or add some humus, bark scraps, wood chips or peat soil to the garden soil. The lower layer of the soil can be filled with some granular drainage, such as broken coal slag, broken brick and so on.
[3]
Clay POTS and plastic POTS are fine. POTS need more frequent watering. The evaporation of water on the surface of the pot is conducive to keeping the root environment cool. The advantage of the plastic basin is that it does not need to be watered frequently, and it is clean and lightweight. Many people grow them in half-height POTS because the wild orchid has a shallow root system. It has been found that if provided with deep POTS, they can develop fairly developed root systems. Be sure to clean and disinfect the POTS before planting.
[3]
Only garlic orchid should be placed or changed in the resting period. Usually at the end of January and the beginning of February. False bulbs should expose one-third of the basin soil. The old roots do not need to be pruned to help stabilize the bulb. The bulbs are planted about two centimeters apart. A few species of pseudobulbs require complete embedding in the substrate. For potting

The requirements are loose, permeable and well-ventilated, and the water retention capacity is also strong. Therefore common
Garden soil
And the common potted soil are not suitable for the cultivation of Allium solanum. The cultivation medium of epiphytic or semi-epiphytic orchids can be selected as potting materials.
[3]
Potted substrates can be mixed in a variety of combinations, the more common ones are: 6 parts of bark blocks (under 5 mm, screened for dust) for epiphytic orchids, 1 part of coarse perlite, 1 part of moss cut to 5-6 mm and 1 part of crushed peat. When potted, the lower 2/3 of the pot body is filled with the above coarser particles, and the finer ones are filled on top. Fill the area around the new bulb with small pieces of bark and shorter moss. Peat soil with more humus and fiber content and adding 1/2 bark block (diameter less than 5 mm) or adding some coarse particles of perlite to prepare potted matrix can also be used as potted pot. In addition, the pot medium prepared with moss and crushed brick blocks and charcoal blocks (diameter 3-5 mm) is also better. The results of pot pot with moss alone were satisfactory. Adding a small amount of coarse sand to the above pot medium is good for stabilizing the plant in the pot, and will not be swayed because the cultivation medium is too light and loose. Of course, too much sand or brick fragments will also make the substrate too dense, affecting the growth and development of the root system. It is beneficial to add a small amount of decayed mountain hair or tree leaves, or to add some dried cow dung to the pot substrate.

The key period of watering is the beginning of the growing season. At this time, the root system has just begun to grow, and the flowering period is coming to an end. Small amounts of water should be given to keep only the substrate moist, with the aim of promoting rooting. If you water too much at this time, it is easy to rot the roots. After a while, when the root system is basically established, you can start to water heavily. The root growth can be judged according to the leaf growth rate. If the leaves have begun to grow rapidly, the roots are in place. From then on we shall be given great waters. This is the plum rain season that mimics the origin of the single garlic orchid.

Can be used to pour garlic orchid. If the tap water is very hard, it can also be used, but to control the amount of watering, see dry and wet. You can put them outside during the growing season. They like the rain naturally. With the change of the length of day and night in autumn, the pseudobulbs began to enter the dormant period. Growth stops and leaves turn yellow. At this point, small water should be given again. When the leaves are completely dry, stop watering. Allow the substrate to dry completely. The leaves will fall off naturally.

Single garlic orchid like small fertilizer often. Fertilization can only be carried out during periods of high water. The fertilizer with higher nitrogen content is initially applied, and then the formula with higher phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is changed. Australia has also had success using horse manure directly as a substrate.
[3]
The orchid can tolerate direct sunlight, but it is best to shade 50% during the summer growing season. Outdoor shade is a good place to cultivate. And like other orchids, they like air.

Usually on the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves, and less often on the stem, there are raised blisters containing yellow, orange, rusty, or even purplish-black powdery spores. Rust is not fatal and does not kill the leaves, but it weakens the growth of the plant. In addition to cutting the diseased leaves, 65% zinc powder can be used to spray 500-600 times liquid or copper-containing fungicide.
[3]
Most occur in the season of mildew and rain. At the beginning of the disease, the leaf base is covered with white silk. Causes root rot. Control method: Remove the soil with bacterial basin, sprinkle with pentachloronitrobenzene powder or lime. Radical treatment: pay attention to ventilation and light, basin soil drainage is good. Serious diseased plants are burned.
[3]
It occurs all year round, especially in the hot and rainy season. The lesion first extends from the tip of the leaf to the root, is brown at first, and then gradually expands and increases, there are many dry black spots, which lead to the death of the whole plant in severe cases. Prevention and treatment methods: In addition to actively changing the environmental conditions, during the onset period, 50% methyltolbuzine wettable powder 800-1500 times liquid spray can be used, once every 7-10 days; Then supplemented with 1% equivalent Bordeaux solution, once every half month, continuous spray 3-5 times.

Scale insect parasitism plant leaf edge or leaf back to absorb juice, causing plant wilt, serious when the whole plant will wither and die, scale insect secretions can also cause black mold disease. It can be sprayed with 50% dimethoate emulsion, 50% malathion, 25% sulfurimide emulsion or 80% dichlorvos emulsion 1000 times liquid spray, generally sprayed once every 5-7 days and more than 3 times continuously.

Orchids are famous for their purity, elegance and fragrance. They have beautiful leaves and fragrance. Since ancient times, orchids have been praised as a symbol of good things and have been widely personified in the folk. Orchids have had a great impact on social life, culture and art. In the minds of the Chinese people, orchids have become the shelter and symbol of all good things.
