How to make Mo Lan bloom and how to care for it during the flowering period

1. How to bloom

1. Suitable temperature: Mo Lan likes warm climate and is afraid of cold. If you want it to bloom, the temperature must be suitable. It is usually kept at around 25℃, and the temperature difference between day and night should be 10℃, which can promote the opening of flowers. Since its flowering period is in winter, you need to keep it warm to prevent the plant from freezing and causing the flowers to fall.

2. Suitable light: Mo Lan needs sufficient light to bloom, but if exposed to strong light, the leaves will easily be sunburned, which is not conducive to the growth of the plant. Therefore, it should be exposed to the sun when the light is soft. At noon, it needs to be moved to a semi-shaded place to receive scattered light, or it should be properly shaded, which is more conducive to its development.

3. Control watering: Mo Lan is suitable for growing in moist places. It needs to be watered regularly, but you should pay attention to water control one or two months before flowering. Usually, water the plant after the soil is dry, which makes it easier for flower buds to form. When watering, do not water from above, but water close to the edge of the pot to prevent residual water droplets from causing it to rot.

4. Supplement nutrients: Mo Lan needs to consume nutrients when it blooms, especially during the bud formation period. If the nutrients are insufficient, the buds will easily fall off. Usually, phosphorus fertilizer is added every 20 days during the growing period, which can promote flowering. You can also apply some organic fertilizer during the flowering period, but it must be fully decomposed before use.

2. Maintenance during flowering period

During the flowering period of Mo Lan, it is important to ensure the climate is warm and that it receives scattered light every day. At the same time, control the amount of watering and fertilization, and maintain good ventilation to reduce the possibility of bacterial growth.
