Is Hanlan easy to care for?
This article provides a brief introduction to the care of Hanlan and its cultivation methods and precautions for green plant maintenance. Next, the editor will introduce to the netizens.
Speaking of Hanlan flowers, they can be considered the most beautiful among orchids, with lush leaves, tall stems, and an exceptionally graceful posture. What's most captivating is their rich colors and the fact that they bloom in the relatively cold seasons of autumn and winter. In these harsh days, they bring us a faint fragrance, which is more comforting than anything else.
It is now November, and many people's Hanlan flowers are in bud, but some friends say that their Hanlan flowers are not very fragrant when they bloom. What's going on, and how can this be solved? Let me share my views and exchange with friends!
First, the lack of fragrance in Hanlan is due to insufficient light
Hanlan is relatively shade-tolerant, as everyone knows. In a slightly shaded environment, Hanlan leaves are lush, which is known as "growing leaves in the shade." However, although Hanlan is shade-tolerant, it still needs some sunlight to bloom beautifully and fragrantly. This is what we call "blooming in the sun."
If Hanlan flowers lack fragrance, one important reason is that during the flower bud differentiation period of Hanlan, the light exposure is not sufficient, which cannot ensure that the plants receive soft light in the morning and evening, allowing Hanlan to perform photosynthesis and accumulate the necessary nutrients and fragrance elements for flowering. Therefore, friends who grow Hanlan should first ensure that their Hanlan can bathe in gentle sunlight.
Second, insufficient use of organic fertilizer
If you want Hanlan to be fragrant, you must have sufficient organic matter. In nature, Hanlan's fragrance is strong, and there is no news of any place where Hanlan is not fragrant. The main reason is that Hanlan's original habitat is under dense forests, where there is an abundance of fallen leaves. These leaves decompose over time and mix with the local acidic soil, forming the orchid soil that Hanlan loves. With rich humus and a slightly acidic environment, it's no wonder that Hanlan has a pleasant fragrance.
Therefore, when caring for Hanlan, we need to simulate its wild environment and pay attention to the use of organic fertilizers, such as decomposed animal manure, decomposed cake fertilizer, decomposed leaves, etc. With abundant humus, Hanlan flowers will have an enchanting fragrance.
Third, pay attention to water control and proper low temperature
For any flower to have a迷人的 fragrance, during the flower bud differentiation period and the bud expansion period, it is important to control water appropriately. This means that watering should be less frequent than usual, and the watering time should be a day or two later than usual to maintain the slightly dry condition of the growing medium. Proper water control is beneficial for the concentration of plant cell sap and the concentration of fragrance, leading to fragrant flowers.
The most important factor among them is low temperature. Hanlan, Hanlan, without cold, there is no fragrance. People from the original habitat may have noticed that if it's not cold in a particular year, the Hanlan on the mountain does not have a fragrance. If the cold air comes early, the mountains are filled with fragrance. This actually shows that Hanlan needs low temperature stimulation to release fragrance. Proper low temperature will convert Hanlan's excessive vegetative growth into reproductive growth, using all the nutrients for flowering and fragrance release.
Practice has proven that for Hanlan to release fragrance, the temperature should be around 10 degrees, which is the best effect. If it experiences a few days of temperatures around 10 degrees, its fragrance will be even more unique. However, it should be noted that although Hanlan needs some low temperature to bloom, the temperature should not be lower than 6 or 7 degrees, as otherwise, potted Hanlan may suffer from frostbite. (Hanlan is called Hanlan because it blooms in autumn and winter, although it likes low temperatures, its cold tolerance is limited!)
Fourth, summary
Of course, if you want Hanlan flowers to be fragrant, you should also pay attention to a certain level of humidity and ensure proper ventilation. However, the main factors to remember are: light, organic fertilizer, water control, and proper low temperature.
If your Hanlan flowers are not fragrant, you must be patient and check carefully. Finally, I wish everyone can grow elegant and beautiful Hanlan flowers.
