When it comes to the representatives of plants and flowers, it must be the four gentlemen of "Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum", for which the literati and inkers wrote poems and lyrics, which are still widely praised today.
The orchids among the four gentlemen have a very high status in the hearts of folk flower lovers, and every flower lover will be proud to raise a pot of orchids with outstanding qualities. In ancient times, the living conditions were naturally backward, and orchids would only be planted in the homes of well-off dignitaries, and now that the living conditions are good, many of the deficiencies of the environment can be artificially supplemented, and it has become easier to maintain orchids.
If you want to raise a pot of orchids at home to add to the fun of life, cultivate your emotions in your leisure time, you can't miss this national orchid flower - the national soul.
The National Soul Orchid belongs to the Jianlan family, just like its atmospheric name, and its appearance is quite dignified and elegant. Different from other orchid varieties, the petals are mostly delicate lotus-shaped, bowl-shaped, the petals of the national soul are stretched out like bamboo leaves, the outermost petals and the flower stem are the same color, verdant, and the position of the tongue and the middle palace is the righteous Chinese red. The contrast between blue and red does not appear abrupt at all, and has a unique sense of conflict.
Its leaves are obviously ribbed, thick and slender, there is a kind of waxy luster, the front end is straight, to the middle of the natural hanging, the leaf tail presents a "dragon head", with atmospheric flowers, the overall plant looks heroic, living up to its "national soul" reputation.
The fragrance of the national soul is fresh and elegant, but it can leave a lasting fragrance. When the flowers bloom, everyone who smells them feels relaxed and happy, and when they fall asleep with the fragrance of its flowers, their dreams can be sweet for a few minutes.
Jianlan is a well-known diligent flower, the national soul can bloom 3 to 6 flowers on a flower stem, and the flowers bloom out of the shelf, which is extremely ornamental. Under the premise of suitable climate, you can bloom 3 times a year, which can accompany you beautifully for more than half a year. After figuring out the habits and preferences of the national soul, it can be said that it is not difficult to maintain.
It originates in Ya'an, Sichuan, preferring a warm and humid environment. The temperature that most makes the plant feel comfortable is between 15 and 30 degrees, and above or below this temperature range, slow growth will occur. In the summer, high temperature weather should do a good job of shading and cooling, and in winter, it should be moved indoors to ensure that the plant can sleep peacefully and overwinter.
The national soul likes soft astigmatism, and the home planting should be selected in a location where the light is bright and sufficient, and the direct sunlight cannot be reached. Plants must have at least six hours of light per day during growth and flowering to ensure the supply of nutrients produced by photosynthesis.
Cultivated soil to loose texture of saprophyll soil is better, acidic and iron content will make the national soul grow better, if not, it does not matter, the plant can grow and flower, but the quality will be slightly inferior.
The root system of orchids is fleshy, which itself has a certain water storage function, and is more drought-tolerant and afraid of flooding. Watering should be carried out slowly, ensure that the potting soil is watered thoroughly, and wait until the surface of the soil is dry and white before proceeding to the next operation.
If the novice does not grasp the scale well, the water is poured more, do not think about drying in the sun, as long as you put a water-absorbing cotton on the bottom of the basin, and then place it in a well-ventilated and breathable position, so that the water can accelerate evaporation.
If you want the plant to grow well, the flowers to bloom well, and the correct use of flower fertilizer is also crucial. The use of nitrogen fertilizer during the growth period can promote the photosynthesis of the plant and promote the growth of leaves; the use of phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer before flowering can make the flowers bloom more and more colorful, full of aroma. Fertilization should follow the principle of "thin fertilizer and more application" to avoid burning plants with excessive flower fertilizer concentration.
The growing environment should maintain a good air circulation, even if the winter is wintered indoors, there must be air circulation under the premise of ensuring the temperature, so as to effectively avoid insect pests.
Do the above work well, novices can also cultivate the soul of the country. When it first came down from the mountain, the national soul was sought after by people, and the price was hyped up fiercely, and it often sold for sky-high prices. Now people are rational about the price and become more and more close to the people.
