Using these four types of jades to water '君子兰', the flowers will be large and colorful even without fertilizing!
To make the '君子兰' at home look good, apart from watering and sunlight exposure, they also need to be fertilized. Watering '君子兰' is a profound study. Some people, even after raising orchids for more than ten years, still don't understand how to water '君子兰'. Improper watering is one of the key reasons for not being able to raise '君子兰' well. Too much watering can cause root rot and yellowing, while too little can lead to yellowing tips and a lackluster appearance. In other words, '君子兰' needs water but is not waterproof. Using these four types of jades to water '君子兰', the flowers will be large and colorful even without fertilizing! Let's understand this in practice:
Water also comes in various types, such as hard water, softened water, river water, pond water, orchid water, surface water, and magnetic water, etc. You can choose and use them flexibly based on their respective characteristics and effects on '君子兰'.
Water is divided into hard water and softened water based on the amount of salt content. Hard water contains more salts. Long-term use of hard water containing many essential element salts like calcium and magnesium to water '君子兰' will cause the potting soil of '君子兰' to become calcified and clump, reducing permeability, leading to brown spots on the leaves of '君子兰', which affects the ornamental effect. Therefore, it's best not to use hard water to water '君子兰'.
Suitable water for '君子兰':
1. Rainwater or dew: Among the soft waters, dew or rainwater is more ideal because rainwater is close to neutral, contains no minerals, and has plenty of air. Therefore, using rainwater to water '君子兰' is very suitable. If you can use rainwater to water '君子兰' for a long time, it is beneficial for '君子兰' to assimilate and enhance its ornamental value.
2. Pond water: Pond water mainly comes from rain and contains many nutrients. If you can use pond water to water '君子兰' for a long time, you don't need to fertilize. '君子兰' will grow robustly with bright leaf color and colorful flowers.
3. Drinking water, surface water: The drinking water in cities has gone through disinfection and sedimentation treatment, has low hardness, contains few residues, and has a small amount of disinfectant. It should be placed in a container for a few days to let the chlorine evaporate before using it to water '君子兰'. Surface water also needs to be exposed to sunlight and left to settle before it can be used to water '君子兰'.
4. Magnetized water: Magnetized water has the best effect on watering '君子兰'. Using magnetized water to water '君子兰' can promote the basic metabolism of the plant, making '君子兰' grow vigorously with green leaves and colorful flowers, and it also has an effect of preventing brown spot disease. Making magnetized water is also simple; just place a horseshoe magnet or a regular magnet in a container of water overnight.
