In spring, organic healthy planting starts from herb.

Today, I would like to introduce to you a very fresh, very seasonal, very suitable for organic cultivation-vanilla family.

Many people like vanilla not only because of their beauty, but also because of the mysterious power of vanilla.

They can not only make tea, supplement food, dye, make spices, but also have natural health effects: for example, rosemary can promote memory, peppermint can sweat and relieve fever, pharynx and pain.

The most rare thing is that they are easier to feed. They plant a few pots of perilla or mint at home and pick them into vegetables or make tea. The so-called interesting life is so simple.

Basic knowledge of vanilla planting

Vanilla plants are mostly full-day plants, it is best to maintain about 6-8 hours of light a day, most varieties can also be cultivated in half-day, that is, 3-4 hours of sunshine a day. So the most suitable place to grow vanilla is in the courtyard, top floor, balcony, balcony or window. Whether full-day or half-day, it means that the sun shines directly or shines on the plant through transparent glass.

In addition to sunlight is a necessary condition for photosynthesis, in addition to light energy will also bring heat, that is, the longer the sunshine, the higher the temperature of the plant.

When the summer sun is particularly fierce, it can also cause vanilla to die of heat. In summer, you can appropriately reduce some sunshine to avoid the damage that overheating may cause to plants. Perhaps vanilla will become a little ugly in summer, but if you can successfully pass the summer and increase the sunshine in autumn, they can still flourish gradually.

Where there is no direct sunlight but looks bright to the naked eye, the light may not be enough for vanilla plants. When there is not enough light, the plants will grow, the leaves of the plants will become smaller or lighter, the distance between the leaves will increase, and the branches will become thinner.

Vanilla likes well-drained soil. Watering is not fixed every day, but until the surface of the soil is dry. Watering the flowerpot thoroughly, do not directly pour water on the leaves or petals, flowerpots can not be stagnant water. Planting vanilla plants only takes a little time every day to take care of and observe, and water the soil when it is dry so as not to rot the roots, while on rainy days, you should pay attention to whether the drainage is good or not. if you encounter continuous rain for many days, you should reduce watering and avoid rain.

In addition, the leaves of plants such as vanilla, citronella and peppermint are relatively large and thin and need more water, while the leaves of lavender and rosemary lose water relatively slowly because of their hairs or thickness, so they need less water.

The principle of watering vanilla is "see dry and wet". When watering, remember to pour water on the soil, not on the leaf surface, the amount of water is mainly to pour through the flowerpot, but pay attention to the bottom can not accumulate water, if there is a bracket under the flowerpot, remember to pour out the stagnant water. In addition, watering time should avoid noon or when the soil surface temperature is high, so as to avoid plant damage caused by hot gas.
