Continuous blooming for half a year, beautiful and easy to maintain
Are you curious about the experience of maintaining green plants that bloom continuously for half a year, please read the detailed introduction below.
Every holiday, we like to buy some potted flowers as decorations, and the Spring Festival is the largest traditional Chinese holiday, making the purchase of New Year's flowers an essential task. So, what kind of beautiful and easy-to-maintain flower varieties should新手 (beginner) flower enthusiasts choose?
1. Phalaenopsis Orchid
There are many types of orchids that can be used as New Year's flowers, among which the Phalaenopsis Orchid is very popular with the public.
The flowering spike of the Phalaenopsis Orchid is long, and the flowers bloom in a large cluster, which is very beautiful. Moreover, Phalaenopsis Orchids come in many colors, allowing you to choose your favorite colors to purchase and place in the living room for a high-end look.
Phalaenopsis Orchids prefer a warm environment, with indoor temperatures best kept above 15 degrees Celsius. Flower enthusiasts in the north should place their Phalaenopsis Orchids in rooms with heating.
In places without heating, it's best to place the Phalaenopsis Orchid in a room with air conditioning to prevent frost damage due to low temperatures. If the indoor temperature is relatively low and there's no heating, it is recommended that you choose other varieties.
Phalaenopsis Orchids enjoy a humid environment, and dry air is not conducive to their growth, so attention should be paid to frequently misting to increase air humidity.
The flowering period of Phalaenopsis Orchids is long. After the flowers have finished blooming, don't rush to cut off the flowering spike; let it wither naturally. Sometimes, with sufficient nutrients, a new flowering spike can grow next to the old one, continuing to bloom.
2. Cyclamen
Continuous blooming for half a year, beautiful and easy to maintain
Cyclamen is indeed a very good New Year's flower, with a long flowering period and very easy to care for. The main advantage is that Cyclamen is not as cold-sensitive as Phalaenopsis Orchids, making it more cold-tolerant. It can bloom in winter even without air conditioning, although it blooms a bit slower.
If placed in an air-conditioned room or a room with heating, it will bloom like it's on steroids, continuously and unstoppable!
Cyclamen is a bulbous plant, so attention should be paid to watering during cultivation. If it's in a room with heating, make sure it has sufficient water and apply some fertilizer. Softness in Cyclamen indicates a lack of water, and it should be watered promptly.
If in a room without heating, make sure to water Cyclamen only when the soil in the pot has dried out to prevent the bulb from rotting due to excessive watering.
Cyclamen should be careful to avoid spraying water, as it can cause the flower buds to rot and affect blooming.
