Chunlan prefers a cool, half-shade and half-sun environment. It does not require much fertilizer, but has high requirements for moisture. It grows well in an environment with a large temperature difference between day and night. The most ideal place for in the northern region is of course an outdoor enclosed balcony.
It is best not to choose seedlings. You can choose orchid seedlings that have been growing in the transitional garden for a year. The orchid seedlings have large roots, strong roots, many and wide leaves, and are strong in growth. Such orchid seedlings are easier to maintain when you buy them home.
Newly potted plants should choose clean, fine-grained soil. Planting stone has strong water retention and is an ideal planting material for cultivating high-grade spring orchids. It is combined with granular humus soil and the basin surface is covered with sphagnum moss for moisture retention. After the orchid plants adapt to the environment, gradually increase the humus soil content.
Water dehydration in summer, moisturizing in autumn, and vernalization in winter: The temperature in summer is higher and water evaporates greatly, but watering cannot be carried out uncontrollably. Proper watering is required, which is more conducive to the growth of spring orchids.
Spring orchids that thrive in the high temperature and high humidity environment in the south consume very little nutrients for flowering and have a high germination rate. They can germinate 3-4 times a year. Due to insufficient nutrient reserves and excessive consumption of seedlings, weeds recede quickly in the dry environment of northern China.
