How to care for Mo Lan to make it bloom

Mo Lan enthusiasts know that the blooming period is in winter and spring. When blooming, multiple flower buds can grow on a single flower stem, with a single branch lasting two to three weeks.

Its blooming period is very long, and some Mo Lan varieties also have a fragrance. However, some new Mo Lan enthusiasts have not seen any signs of blooming after a period of care. Below, we provide an introduction on how to care for Mo Lan to make it bloom.

First, choose a pot

Mo Lan's root system is relatively robust and developed, with relatively long roots. The pot used for planting should be slightly larger and deeper.

It is recommended to use a "stick pot" that is not too wide in diameter but tall and thin. The material should be a purple sand pot or a ceramic pot with good breathability and water permeability. The pot is also a key factor in caring for Mo Lan's roots.

Second, planting material

Caring for Mo Lan starts with caring for the roots, which begins with the selection of planting material. In addition to being loose, breathable, non-caking, non-waterlogging, slightly fertilized, and slightly acidic, the planting material should also have a good granular structure to enhance breathability and water filtration.

It is recommended to use a mixed planting material, combining pine bark, red jade soil, perlite, and pine needle soil each in equal parts.

Third, watering

To make Mo Lan bloom, care should be taken not to cause root rot from积水 or root drying from water loss. Watering can be judged by observing the color of the red jade soil in the planting material.

When the red jade soil is moist, its color darkens, and when it is dry, its color lightens.

Watering should be based on the color changes of the planting material, following the principle of "watering when dry, and watering thoroughly when watering". In spring and winter, watering can be extended by 2 to 3 days. In summer and autumn, water can be given after the sun sets and the soil cools down in the evening.

Fourth, environment

The optimal growth temperature for Mo Lan is between 15 to 28 degrees Celsius. The best lighting time is in a well-ventilated, brightly lit position during the day, receiving 3 hours of sunlight daily.

However, to make Mo Lan bloom, it should be kept at 20 to 28 degrees Celsius during the blooming period, with a temperature difference of 8 degrees between day and night. The lighting should reach 5 hours before the blooming period.

Fifth, fertilizing

Mo Lan prefers fertilizer but not excessive amounts. It is recommended to use organic fertilizers with long-lasting effects and gentle properties.

When fertilizing, it is suggested to use ripe rice water diluted 3 times with water and water the plant directly. This can meet Mo Lan's growth nutrient needs.

A month before the blooming period, fertilization should be biased towards phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. In addition to the normal use of organic fertilizers, a 1200-fold solution of "Monopotassium Phosphate" can be used for foliar spraying, three times with a one-week interval between each application.
