Why does the crane orchid raised in the living room do not blossom for many years? the answer is here.

Crane orchid looks very spectacular, is a tropical ornamental plant, the flowers are a bit like the head of a crane, if kept in the living room, it looks very elegant, it can also purify the air, it also looks quite tropical.

The orchid flower needs to be pollinated by a tropical sunbird. Its whole shape looks like a bright crane. Ordinary insects cannot pollinate it. It needs some tropical birds to pollinate it. The variety of the orchid is also very rich and the flowers are bright. It is a tropical flowering plant that likes a warm and humid environment all the year round.

The environment needed to preserve the orchid:

First, plenty of light.

If you want the orchid to grow quickly and bloom brightly, it is necessary to give enough light every day, preferably on a balcony facing south or east, to avoid keeping it in a dark place for a long time, or at least to keep the light bright and insufficient. It will grow very slowly and will not bloom.

Second, replenish water.

The amount of water that the orchid needs depends on the location of conservation. If it is raised in a warm and sunny place, it should be watered regularly to keep the soil moist. If it is kept in the shade, it should be watered after the basin soil is dry.

The frequency of watering is also related to soil and flowerpots. Containers with large and deep drainage holes must be selected, and the drainage of the soil must be good.

Third, maintain humidity.

Magnolia is very afraid, the air is dry, need regular spray-like water, maintain high air humidity, and keep it indoors, but also pay attention to regularly clean the leaves to avoid excessive dust on the leaves.

Fourth, regular fertilization.

Magnolia is a flowering plant that does not have a high demand for fertilizer. It is fertilized once a month during the growing period. It is a plant with slow growth, and the demand for fertilizer is not too high. If the soil is fertile, you can apply fertilizer once every two months. The concentration of fertilizer should not be too high, and you should stop applying fertilizer after it becomes cool in autumn.

Fifth, curing temperature

The orchid likes the warm and humid environment all the year round, the lowest curing temperature should be kept above 7 degrees, and the temperature between 18 and 25 degrees is the most suitable, and the perennial warm environment can promote the growth. it is most appropriate to maintain the maintenance temperature at 8 to 15 degrees in winter, in which the orchid can get proper dormancy.

Sixth, change the basin and pay other attention.

The orchid can be changed every year two or three years before it is planted, and it can be changed directly with soil after spring, and it needs to be changed to a larger flowerpot every year.

After the plant age of 3 or 4 years, the plant can not be changed frequently, otherwise it will affect the flowering.

The orchid is usually propagated with seeds, but only the natural growth of the orchid is easy to pollinate, and it is even more difficult to collect its seeds. You can buy some seeds directly to sow and reproduce, and you can increase the germination rate of seeds by slightly cutting its seed coat.

If you want to promote the flowering of the orchid, you must first ensure that its plant has fully matured, that it can not conceive flowers until it is 4 or 5 years old, and that the root of the orchid cultivated in the pot will be restricted by growth, so it must be cultivated in a larger container to promote flowering.
