This article provides a detailed explanation of the knowledge topic about the bulbous flower Da Cangjiao Hall, focusing on its daily maintenance methods. Next, the editor will introduce them.
Da Cangjiao Hall is a perennial succulent herb with large, light green, fleshy bulbs, 20-30 centimeters in diameter. It prefers cool temperatures and has poor cold and heat tolerance. It enjoys bright light but avoids direct sunlight; Cangjiao Hall is a summer dormant type, while Da Cangjiao Hall is a winter dormant type.
After flowering, the vines will gradually wither, marking the beginning of a slow dormancy period. Gradually reduce watering until the dormancy period, at which point no water should be given. The plant can be left in the pot (with 2/3 of the bulb exposed above the ground surface) in a shaded place. When the growing season arrives and leaves appear, start watering and apply some organic fertilizer. Water next to the bulb, avoiding water accumulation in the center of the bulb to prevent rot. During the high summer temperatures, pay attention to ventilation and lighting, and provide shade if necessary. In winter, when temperatures are low, protect from the cold by placing the plant indoors to avoid frostbite.
When the flower stem appears, be careful not to break it. If the flower stem is cut, the vine will gradually dry out, and the bulb will split into two, becoming smaller. However, this is feasible for bulb propagation, but it will take several years for the bulb to expand.
Cangjiao Hall can be propagated by seeds. The seeds are small and do not need to be covered with soil. They can be sown in a 3.5-inch pot with a mixture of Dabuzei organic cultivation soil, maintaining moisture. They will germinate in about 10-14 days. During the growing period, fertilize with Haokangduo Garden Plant Special Formula as a top dressing. After about 12-18 months (when the bulb is about 1-2 centimeters large), you can repot. Thereafter, pay attention to cultivation and management, providing appropriate light, water, and fertilizer to allow the bulb to expand year by year.
