I. What is the Language of Crane Flower?
The language of the crane flower is freedom and happiness. It is unremarkable when not in bloom, but it is stunning after flowering. The blooming posture looks like a crane about to fly to a distant place, to its loved one, symbolizing being with the loved one. Its language of flowers also carries the meaning of missing someone. It is suitable for sending to one's lover or friends, expressing longing for the other person. Sending it to a lover means wanting to give all the happiness to them.
II. How to Care for Crane Flower During Blooming?
1. Soil
Heavenly bird cultivation requires loose and fertile growing soil, decomposed leaf soil, 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 and development of the fleshy roots.
When planting, it should not be too deep, 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 summer growing season and the autumn and winter blooming period, while the watering should be reduced after the spring blooming. Fertilize once every half month during the growing season, especially when new leaves appear, as more new leaves mean more flower branches. When a flower stem is formed to the full bloom stage, apply phosphorus fertilizer 2-3 times.
Using a well-drained medium is the key to cultivation management. The crane flower fears waterlogging in the cultivation location because its fleshy roots can tolerate drought but not flooding.
3. Pruning
After the flowers fade, if there is no need to keep seeds, the flower stem should be cut immediately to reduce nutrient consumption. In winter, remove the broken and withered leaves so that flowers can bloom continuously every year. The white crane flower 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. The adjustment of lighting emphasizes the management principle of 'no shade in winter, no direct sun in summer'. The leaves look more beautiful in the shade, but the number of flowers is relatively less.
5. Temperature
The temperature management of the crane flower is of great significance for flowering. Generally, the crane flower's growth is hindered above 40℃ and suffers frost damage below 0℃, growing well within the range of 18℃-30℃. It is best to maintain night temperatures (13℃-18℃) and day temperatures (31℃-35℃). Within the suitable temperature range, each leaf axil of the crane flower can form a flower bud.
