How to care for Chrysorχοe
Core introduction to the article: Tips and experiences on how to care for Chrysorχοe and the cultivation and maintenance of Vanda, with detailed information provided below.
Chrysorχοe, commonly known as the cascading Chrysorχοe, is a perennial, evergreen vine native to New Zealand, later introduced and widely cultivated in the Yangtze River Delta region of China. The plant has a full and graceful appearance, not only offering high ornamental value but also being excellent at purifying the air and beautifying the environment. Today,小花 has compiled some key points on caring for Chrysorχοe, let's take a look together!
Firstly, the daily maintenance of Chrysorχοe. To help everyone understand,小花 focuses on the following aspects.
First, lighting
Chrysorχοe is a typical light-loving plant, naturally preferring a warm and humid growing environment. If possible, it is best to keep it in an open balcony or near a window, ensuring good ventilation and plenty of sunlight. However, while the plant enjoys light, it is not tolerant to strong light. In the height of summer, it is essential to provide shading and sun protection to prevent them from being scorched and dying.
Second, temperature
The ideal growth temperature for Chrysorχοe is between 20 to 24°C. Studies have shown that plants at this temperature range have peak activity and the fastest growth rate. Conversely, once the temperature exceeds 30°C, the plant will stop growing and its leaves will continue to turn yellow and wither.
Third, soil
In principle, Chrysorχοe is best planted in soil that is well-draining, breathable, and rich in humus, as such soil can effectively reduce the risk of root rot due to waterlogging. Here,小花 offers a soil mixing scheme: simply combine leaf mold, peat, and river sand in a certain proportion. If there are concerns about soil fertility, a small amount of base fertilizer can be placed in the pot, with organic fertilizer and slow-release fertilizer being good options.

Fourth, watering
The root system of Chrysorχοe is much more fragile than imagined. Excessive and frequent watering can maliciously increase the likelihood of root rot, so it is safer to follow the principle of watering when dry and watering thoroughly.
Fifth, fertilizing
Although Chrysorχοe is essentially an ornamental green plant and does not have high fertility requirements like flowering plants, it still needs to be provided with nutrients as needed, otherwise, they will frequently grow yellow leaves and their growth rate may slow down.
Secondly, tips for making Chrysorχοe thrive
First, dividing plants
Since dividing plants has certain limitations, not many plants can fulfill their reproduction mission through this method. However, Chrysorχοe, with its vigorous growth, fast growth rate, and strong reproductive ability, is one of them. Especially for potted plants, they often grow lush and leafy within two years. If left unattended, Chrysorχοe will continue to grow, not only making it difficult to maintain an attractive shape but also leading to insufficient nutrient supply. Therefore, this is the best time for dividing the plant.
First, select plants with acceptable conditions; second, take advantage of repotting to help Chrysorχοe come out of the pot, remove some obstructive roots with tools, and divide them into 2 to 3 groups according to different shapes and sizes, then separately transplant them into new pots. During this process,小花 suggests using loose, breathable, well-draining, and humus-rich sandy soil as high-quality planting material.
Second, cutting
This usually occurs in spring and autumn and can be divided into two methods: cutting bed and floating disk, depending on the operation method.
The above are the secrets of caring for Chrysorχοe compiled by小花. For those who already have it at home or are interested in it and want to start growing it, just follow these key points to strengthen maintenance and the plant will thrive.
