Cultivation methods and precautions of Mengxianglan

Dream orchid, also known as perfume orchid, is a perennial herb with exquisite charm and rich fragrance. The dream orchid not only has ornamental value, but its fragrance is also intoxicating. Below, the editor will introduce the cultivation methods and precautions of Mengxianglan, let’s take a look.

1. Soil

Dream orchid likes well-drained, slightly acidic sandy soil rich in humus. You can choose to mix humus, coarse sand, gravel and perlite in a certain proportion to make cultivation soil, and add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to meet its growth and development needs.

2. Temperature

Mengxianglan likes a warm environment, and the suitable growth temperature is between 15℃-28℃. In winter, you need to take good warming measures and keep the room temperature above 10℃ and avoid dropping below 5℃, otherwise the plants will be frozen. When the temperature is too high in summer, pay attention to ventilation and cooling to maintain a suitable environmental temperature.

3. Lighting

Dream orchid is suitable to be placed in a place with bright diffuse light, avoiding direct sunlight. If you are near a window, east-facing or south-facing windows are good choices. When encountering strong light, be sure to provide shade, and the lighting time should not be too long.

4. Watering

Dream orchid likes a humid environment, but when watering you must follow the principle of "water thoroughly when dry". Wait until the soil surface is slightly dry before watering. Water thoroughly at one time and do not let water accumulate at the bottom of the pot, otherwise the roots will easily rot. When the temperature is high in summer, you can increase the amount of watering moderately. When the plant enters a dormant period in winter, you can reduce the number of watering times.

5. Fertilization

Mengxianglan has a large demand for fertilizer , which is generally applied once every two weeks. Use nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus compound fertilizers . If conditions permit, homemade organic fertilizers can be used. When applying fertilizer, do it along the four sides of the flowerpot. Do not pour it on the roots or on the leaves and flowers, otherwise it will easily cause root rot.

6. Pest and disease control

During the breeding process, Mengxianglan may be attacked by diseases and pests. Once pests and diseases are found, the diseased leaves should be cut off immediately, and the appropriate pesticides should be sprayed for treatment according to the specific situation to prevent the spread and spread of pests and diseases.

7. Notes

When repotting in the later stage, it is best to change to a porcelain pot or a purple clay pot, as these pots have better air permeability. Repotting is usually done in spring when the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to improving the survival rate of Mengxianglan. When repotting, you should trim the roots moderately to make the plant shape more upright later.

The above is an introduction to the cultivation methods and precautions of Mengxianglan. Mengxianglan is relatively delicate and prone to disease. Placing it in a well-ventilated place can reduce the chance of disease. But do not place it in the wind vent during ventilation in winter.
