Let's take a look together! The New Year has passed, and the Spring Festival, the most important traditional Chinese festival, is about to arrive. Busy with New Year's goods before the New Year and celebrating the New Year with a bustling atmosphere is our thousands of years of tradition. With the improvement of living standards, fresh flowers and green plants have also become essential New Year's goods. Nowadays, the flower market has a variety of flowers, colorful and diverse, giving us a lot of choices. So how do we choose suitable New Year flowers in this bustling market? Today, I would like to share six types of flowers that have high appearance, good meaning, easy maintenance, and long flowering period, as well as their maintenance skills, hoping to help everyone enjoy the New Year with joy.
1. Phalaenopsis: Phalaenopsis is named for its flower posture similar to butterflies fluttering, with colorful colors, numerous flowers, and long flowering period, earning the reputation of "Queen of Foreign Orchids." Having a pot or group of Phalaenopsis in your home during the Spring Festival adds a noble and festive touch and has been a favorite for years. Phalaenopsis has many wonderful flower languages and meanings, such as red Phalaenopsis symbolizing smooth career and happy life, white Phalaenopsis predicting pure love and precious friendship, spotted Phalaenopsis meaning smooth sailing and achieving one's heart's desire, and yellow Phalaenopsis symbolizing business prosperity and thriving business.
Maintenance skills: Many people say that Phalaenopsis is difficult to cultivate, but in fact, it is a real lazy person's flower with very simple maintenance. If cared for properly during this flowering period, the flowering period can last 3-4 months, and it will bloom again in the summer. 1. Keep warm, Phalaenopsis is a tropical flower that is susceptible to cold, with the most suitable temperature being 15-25°C. Long-term temperatures below 10°C can easily cause frostbite, so be sure to keep warm and maintain indoor temperatures above 10°C. 2. Control water, in areas without heating like the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, where indoor temperatures are low, it is important to control water, watering 1-2 times a month, a small amount each time. Remember, more than 90% of Phalaenopsis rot in winter is due to excessive watering. If the temperature is high, increase watering, waiting for the pot surface to be crisp-dry and the roots inside the pot to turn white before watering. 3. Ample light, place it in a bright area, preferably where it can get sunlight, and do not place it in a very dark place.
2. Mo Lan: Mo Lan, also known as the New Year's Orchid, is one of the traditional Chinese orchids. It symbolizes eternal youth, quietness, and elegance, and signifies the beginning of a new year and celebrating the New Year. It has become a popular New Year's flower in recent years. The most common varieties are Qihei and Jinhuashan, with long, narrow, lush green leaves and posture, and the red-violet flower stalk and flower, which make it even more noble and elegant. Moreover, its fragrance is pleasant, and having a pot or two of Mo Lan to admire the leaves, flowers, and fragrance during the Spring Festival is very noble and superior.
Maintenance skills: Place it in a bright area with scattered light, and it can also be exposed to the sun in winter; maintain an ambient temperature above 5 degrees Celsius; water according to the environmental frequency, with a bias towards dry maintenance in low-temperature environments, and spray water on the pot surface to maintain humidity; do not fertilize during the flowering period, and after the spring flowering period, repot and change the soil, fertilize, and with proper maintenance, it will bloom again next year.
3. Cyclamen: Cyclamen has beautiful leaves and flowers, with unique and striking shapes, vibrant and diverse, and some varieties even have fragrance, making it highly ornamental and loved by people. Its flowering period coincides with traditional festivals such as Christmas, New Year's Day, and the Spring Festival, making it a famous pot plant in winter and spring. In the Spring Festival flower market, you can buy cheap plastic potted plants, generally not repotting, but placing a beautiful ceramic or pottery pot outside for decoration. Having a pot in the living room signifies welcoming guests, and with proper care, Cyclamen's flowering period can last up to 5 months.
Maintenance skills: Cyclamen is relatively cold-tolerant, but below 5 degrees Celsius, its growth and flowering slow down. 1. Watering, alternate between wet and dry, water around the pot edges or use the immersion pot method, and do not water in the leaf center. Cyclamen's leaves and flower stems are very dense, and water in the leaf center can easily cause rot. 2. Sufficient light, to maintain continuous flowering, it needs ample light, and insufficient light can lead to fewer flowers and plant lodging. 3. Fertilization, Cyclamen has a large number of flowers and requires a lot of fertilizer, so a phosphorus-potassium-rich compound fertilizer should be applied once a month.
