A wonderful recipe for the management and protection of the four seasons of Chunlan

Chunlan, also known as grass orchid, blossoming incense, is an orchid plant. In our country, orchids are a symbol of nobility and elegance. Orchid fragrance ranks first among the group, and the ancients praised it as "Xiangzu", "national fragrance" and "the first fragrance in the world". Orchids are also the main production of traditional famous flowers in China.

Cymbidium has been cultivated in China for more than 2000 years and has accumulated rich experience. Cymbidium is a semi-negative plant, and its growth depends on maintenance and management. The cultivation site requires good ventilation, shading facilities and light. Commonly used sunshade net and film rain shade, spring and summer require better shade, autumn and winter to give sufficient sunshine, conducive to root and leaf growth and flowering. Avoid direct sunlight or exposure.

Watering is the key to the cultivation of spring orchids, and the amount of watering depends on the temperature, light intensity and plant growth. Generally speaking, it is less irrigated with low temperature and high humidity in winter, and should be irrigated more when the plant grows vigorously and the temperature is high in summer. But avoid showers in summer, we must use film to keep out the rain. It is appropriate to water early in the morning. It is easy to have black spot when it is caught in the rain in autumn. It is better to water at noon on a sunny day in winter. If there are conditions, it is best to install automatic spraying facilities to increase air humidity, which is more beneficial to the growth and development of Cymbidium. Generally speaking, Rain Water and river water are better for orchids. Tap water must be reused after entering the pond.

Fertilization is necessary for Chunlan. During the peak period of orchid growth in spring and summer and autumn, more fertilizer can be applied once a week from late March to late September. Orchids grow slowly in autumn and winter, so less fertilizer should be applied once every semimonthly. Spray a small amount of water after fertilization to prevent the fertilizer from contaminating the leaves. Fertilization must be carried out in the evening on a sunny day, and there is a risk of rotting roots on cloudy days. In general, orchids are dormant in winter and do not need fertilization. During the growing period, you can also use granular compound fertilizer or "Huiyou" 15-15-30 special fertilizer for potted flowers.
