These 8 kinds of orchids are the most popular during the Spring Festival, and a bunch of flowers will fill the house with fragrance!

Cymbidium

Cymbidium orchids have many colors, many flowers, and a relatively large plant shape. They are great to buy as gifts or to put at home to add to the festive atmosphere. They are very classy New Year flowers.

Lighting: preferably 10-25 degrees of diffuse light, avoid direct sunlight.

Watering: Water once a week in cold weather and once every 3-5 days in warm weather.

Note: Cymbidium likes acid. After the flowers bloom in spring, water them with some ferrous sulfate or magnesium sulfate solution. Homemade rice water can also be used. After a freeze in the autumn and winter of the following year to complete the vernalization, there will be no problem with blooming again.

Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis is very popular this year. It blooms for a very long time, usually for 2-3 months. If you buy it home before the Spring Festival, you can enjoy it until spring. It is really a good deal.

Light: preferably 15-28 degrees indoors, avoid direct sunlight.

Watering: Wait until the pot is dry before watering, and spray more water to humidify.

Note: Remember to fertilize the Phalaenopsis orchid after it blooms, mainly with compound fertilizer and orchid nutrient solution, to replenish the nutrients consumed by long-term flowering to ensure it blooms again.

Dendrobium

Anyone who knows a little bit about flowers will definitely buy a few Dendrobiums to take home. All other flowers in the flower market are dressed up beautifully, but it is the only one that is "plain"!

Light: preferably 10-30 degrees indoors, avoid direct sunlight.

Watering: Keep the roots moist and spray water frequently to humidify.

Note: Dendrobium does not need to be planted in soil. It can be tied to palm skin, tree bark, or wooden boards. It can also be planted with sawdust, pine needles, or tree bark. It will bloom a few weeks after planting.

Dancing orchid/Oncidium

Dancing orchid is not big in size and is suitable for small rooms. Its flower looks like the Chinese character "吉", which is very suitable for placing at home during the Spring Festival, bringing good luck!

Lighting: A bright position with diffuse light of 12-25 degrees is preferred.

Watering: It is drought-tolerant and afraid of moisture accumulation. Water it once every 7-10 days.

Note: Dancing orchid is suitable for growing in crushed moss, bark soil, and coconut coir soil. The bottom of the pot should be padded with crushed foam or stones to prevent water and air flow. It should also be slightly frozen in the second year to increase the daily temperature difference and complete vernalization before it can bloom.

Clivia

Clivia is also a festive flower and is easy to grow. Many flower lovers have more than one at home. If it can bloom around the Spring Festival, it is a good sign!

Lighting: preferably 10-28 degrees indoors, avoid strong light.

Watering: Water once every 1-2 weeks to avoid root rot due to excessive watering.

Note: The most feared thing when growing Clivia is root rot. The soil must be breathable, and it is best to put some stones or expanded clay at the bottom of the pot. You can wipe the leaves with beer at ordinary times, or you can mix beer with water in a ratio of 1:50 to water the leaves, which can promote flowering.

Chunlan

The more traditional spring orchid is easy to distinguish, with thinner leaves and one flower per branch. The elegant fragrance of the flowers placed at home can set off an elegant and grand atmosphere. Paired with a cup of good tea, you can enjoy the festival well~

Lighting: 8-28 degrees of diffuse light is preferred.

Watering: If the soil in the pot is dry, water it thoroughly and spray it occasionally to humidify it.

Note: Spring orchids are more cold-resistant, and the large temperature difference between autumn and winter is more conducive to flowering. The potting soil can be mixed with bark, sawdust, bamboo charcoal, peanut shells, etc., and covered with crushed moss. When watering, do not pour water on the center of the leaves to avoid breeding bacteria.

Cymbidium

The most common orchid we have now is Jianlan. Because it has many flowers and a strong fragrance, it is a must-have for people who like orchids. Compared with the Chunlan mentioned above, its leaves are wider and the flowers bloom in clusters.

Lighting: preferably 10-28 degrees of diffuse light.

Watering: If the soil in the pot is dry, water it thoroughly and spray it occasionally to humidify it.

Note: Jianlan grows relatively fast and is suitable for growing in a bunch. It looks festive when it blooms. You can add some carbendazim when watering to prevent the growth of bacteria and root rot. In winter, the temperature should be frozen around 5 degrees to complete vernalization.

Black orchid

The leaves of Mo Lan are the widest, the widest being 2 cm, and the color is also darker. It looks calm and domineering, and it is also generous and decent to keep it at home.

Lighting: preferably 10-28 degrees of diffuse light.

Watering: Water once every 4-5 days to avoid moisture accumulation in the pot.

Note: Mo Lan can be exposed to the sun for 1-2 hours in the morning and evening, but avoid strong light. Remember to fertilize in spring and autumn, mainly with orchid nutrient solution, mix it in water and water it. Also remember to wipe the leaves frequently to keep them breathing unobstructed.
