Xiangxue orchid never looks like a thin grass. After watching my practice, the flowers bloom in a variety of colors.

Xiangxue orchid, also known as freesia, evening fragrant jade, small calamus orchid and so on, belongs to the perennial herb of Iridaceae and is native to the Cape of good Hope in southern Africa. The corm is ovoid, the stem is thin and weak, about 40 cm high, the spike is slender and slightly twisted, and the flowers are mostly lateral or oblique. Flowers about 4 cm long, a variety of colors, there are bright red, goose yellow, light yellow, pink, snow green, white, etc., fragrant, planted every autumn, florescence from February to May.

According to the calculation, Xiangxue has been planted for seven or eight years, and I like it very much. Because every cold winter, every Spring Festival time, have bloomed colorful, and with a touch of fragrance. Let you harvest, let you rejoice, let you warm.

With regard to the conservation and cultivation methods of Xiangxue orchid, I have also seen a lot among flower friends. Some friends take out balls in summer, some put them in the refrigerator, and some soak them with XX. Planting methods are also different, some are only two or three centimeters in size, some have to build shelves, some fertilize at any time, and some add soil at any time. all kinds of.

What I do:

First, the planting ball is never taken out in summer and is still buried in the original flowerpot, but it is not watered, just throw it under the table.

Second, when planting, dig it out without any treatment, just put it in an orderly manner.

Third, the planting time, generally during the National Day period, if the weather is warmer, mid-late October can also be. Sometimes you can plant it in advance without watering it.

Fourth, the planting depth is nearly ten centimeters, using more orchid pots. So I have never put up a shelf for it. When the flowers are in full bloom, I can stop them with a rope once in a while.

Fifth, during the growing period, there is more light and less water, and it is properly cold-resistant to make it stout and straight. If it grows too fast, it can be pruned properly.

Sixth, when planting, mix the fertilizer into the soil at one time (bean cake fertilizer and plant ash, etc.), and then never apply fertilizer.
