I. What is the symbolism of the crane flower?
The crane flower symbolizes freedom and happiness. It is unremarkable before it blooms, but its appearance after flowering is stunning. The blooming posture looks like a crane about to fly to a distant place, towards its loved one, symbolizing being with the loved one. Its symbolism also includes the meaning of longing. It is suitable for giving to one's partner or friends, expressing longing for them. Giving it to a partner means wanting to give all the happiness to them.
II. How to care for the crane flower during its blooming period?
1. Soil
The crane flower requires loose and fertile growing soil, leaf mold mixed with a small amount of coarse sand, and the bottom of the pot should be padded with coarse tiles to facilitate drainage, which is beneficial for the growth of the fleshy roots.
Planting should not be too deep, just so that the fleshy roots are not visible, otherwise it will affect the germination of new buds.
2. Fertilization and watering
Abundant water is needed during the growing season in summer and the flowering period in autumn and winter, while the watering should be reduced after flowering in early spring. Fertilize once every half month during the growing season, especially when new leaves appear, as more new leaves mean more flowering branches. When the flower stem forms and during the full bloom period, apply phosphorus fertilizer 2-3 times.
Using a well-draining medium is key to successful cultivation. The crane flower dislikes waterlogging in the cultivation area, as its fleshy roots can tolerate drought but not waterlogging.
3. Pruning
After the flowers fade, if there is no need to save seeds, the flower stems should be cut immediately to reduce nutrient consumption. In winter, remove dead and withered leaves to ensure continuous flowering every year. Mature white crane flowers should be repotted every 2-3 years (home-grown varieties rarely bloom and almost never produce seeds).
4. Light
The crane flower requires at least 4 hours of direct sunlight every day, preferably bright light all day. Take some protective measures when the sun is strong. Sufficient sunlight during the main flowering period in winter is beneficial for increasing the number of flowers. Light adjustment emphasizes the management principle of "no shade in winter, no exposure in summer." Plants in the shade have prettier leaves, but fewer flowers.
5. Temperature
Temperature management of the crane flower is crucial for flowering. Generally, growth is hindered above 40°C, and frost damage occurs below 0°C. It grows well within the range of 18°C-30°C. It is best to maintain night temperatures (13°C-18°C) and day temperatures (31°C-35°C). Within the optimal temperature range, each leaf axil of the crane flower can form a flower bud.
