Cultivation methods and precautions of Chunlan

1. Soil

Do not use alkaline soil when growing spring orchids. It is best to choose slightly acidic soil with good air permeability, or mix leaf mold, perlite and sand to make a well-breathable culture soil.

2. Temperature

The most suitable growth temperature for spring orchid is 16-24℃, and the maximum temperature should not exceed 30℃. In winter, the temperature should be kept at 3℃-8℃, or the soil should be kept free of ice. In winter, it is best to place it in a sunny location.

3. Watering

The amount of watering is the same at different times. Generally, less watering is required in winter, and watering once every 5-7 days is enough. In spring and autumn, you can water it once every 2-3 days. When the temperature is higher in summer, you can water it 1-2 times a day.

4. Fertilization

It is best to use special fertilizers for growing spring orchids. Apply fertilizers in small amounts and frequently. In order to avoid root rot, do not use concentrated fertilizers or uncomposted fertilizers.

5. Notes

1. Light: Chunlan does not like strong light, so it is best to place it on a shaded balcony. If it is in the hot summer, you must take shade measures. In winter, do not let it be exposed to direct sunlight, just place it in a location with scattered light.

2. Pests and diseases: Spring orchids are prone to pests, so you must pay attention to ventilation and the flower pots should have good drainage. Once pests and diseases are found, they must be dealt with in a timely manner. If the situation is more serious, replace it with a new flower pot and replant it.
