What's wrong with the growth of crane orchid? 1. The root system of Helan is mainly fleshy. So the pot soil is too wet for plants to grow.
2. Hewanglan Miao likes thin and fat, and avoids thick and fat. Special attention should be paid to putting less base fertilizer in the basin soil, otherwise its fleshy roots will be partially necrotic when they grow nearby.
4. Sufficient sunshine is very beneficial to promote the seedlings to have more leaves and take root quickly. Try to create conditions to ensure that they receive at least 4 hours of direct sunlight every day. Once there is no light, there will be a problem that the seedlings will not grow.
What should be paid attention to in the cultivation of crane orchid? 1. Helan is a delicate flower, not cold-resistant, afraid of heat and sun, and can't be kept in the shade all the time. Strict requirements on water and fertilizer, it is a kind of flower that diligent people like. Lazy babies should think twice before you act. Strelitzia reginae likes warm and humid environment, and the optimum growth temperature is 18-25 degrees. If it is below 8 degrees or above 30 degrees, it will stop growing, so it is not easy to maintain in winter and summer.
2. Being afraid of the sun doesn't mean that the crane orchid doesn't like the light. It needs to be basked in direct sunlight for a certain period of time before the crane orchid can flourish. The natural flowering period of Helan is mostly in autumn and winter. Under the condition of proper maintenance and suitable environmental temperature, crane orchid can also bloom all year round, and the flowering period of flowers is quite long, and a flower can last for more than 40-50 days.
3. Hewanglan has the same fleshy roots as Clivia and likes loose and breathable sand. You can mix river sand with humus soil and add some organic fertilizer to make nutrient soil. If you are not afraid of drought and waterlogging, you must water it thoroughly, and it will get wet when it is dry. Try not to put a basin frame in the basin to avoid root rot caused by watering reflux.
Fertilization can be done once every half month, and it can be applied thinly and frequently. The use of fermented organic liquid fertilizer is more beneficial to the root absorption of Hedyotis diffusa. We can use our usual rice washing water to ferment and then water it, or we can cook soybeans and soak them for fermentation. Adding a little calcium superphosphate when fertilizing at the beginning of flowering can make the flowers colorful and last longer.
4. In winter, Hedyotis diffusa should be placed in a warm and sunny environment for wintering. Hedyotis diffusa has a well-developed root system and rapid growth. Spring is a good time to change pots and soil. When changing pots and soil, it is also a good time to take ramets for reproduction. Propagation by ramets is very simple. After cutting off plants with 2-3 flower buds with a knife, coat them with plant ash and plant them separately. If properly maintained, it will bloom that year.
It is best to water the crane orchid once every few days. Helan likes a slightly humid environment, but is afraid of waterlogging. Sufficient water should be ensured in the summer growth period and flowering period to meet the growth needs of plants. When the temperature is low in winter, it is necessary to reduce the number of watering and keep the soil slightly dry.
Water a large potted plant by inserting a chopstick and pulling it out to see if the front part is wet. If it is wet, there is no need to water it. If it is dry, water it thoroughly, at least under it, and the water will leak out. It depends on your actual environment and temperature, but to be sure, large potted plants don't need to be watered often.
