During the Spring Festival, these four orchids are the most popular, with simple maintenance and a flowering period of up to 3 months.

Orchid, a traditional famous flower in China since ancient times, has been cultivated for more than 2,000 years, and is also called "the four gentlemen among flowers" with plum blossom, chrysanthemum and bamboo.

There are only a few days before the Spring Festival. If you don't know what flowers to put at home, it's not wrong to put some orchids.

Of course, there are many kinds of orchids. Four varieties suitable for winter planting and simple maintenance are recommended today. Let's take a look ~

Oncidium

Oncidium, a perennial ornamental plant in Orchidaceae, is one of the most popular orchid varieties in the world, which is native to the United States, Mexico, Yale and other places.

Oncidium leaves are green all year round, slender and soft in appearance, and it is in flowering period in winter, which is also the time when it is on the market in large quantities.

There are slender flower arrows between the slender leaves, and the flowers are delicate and fragrant, which makes people unforgettable.

The flowering period of Oncidium is very long and can last for about 2 months. Buy a pot during the Spring Festival, and you can enjoy the flowers until spring.

Key points of winter maintenance

Oncidium itself is sensitive to temperature, especially the potted plants that can be bought in modern times are almost all flower seedlings cultivated in greenhouses, and the requirements for temperature will be higher.

It is best to keep the temperature of Oncidium at home at 10~20 degrees, and the lowest temperature should not be lower than 10 degrees, otherwise the leaves and flowers of plants will be frozen.

China orchid

Chinese cymbidium, among the traditional orchid species in China, belongs to a relatively tall type.

Its leaves and flowers are dark in color, and some varieties of flowers can even be "as deep as ink", hence the name "Moran".

Cymbidium hybridum has a large plant type, a solid constitution, dense flowers and a strong fragrance. It is a fairly easy-to-maintain orchid variety, and it is recommended for novices with little experience.

Key points of winter maintenance

Cymbidium sinense is a cold-tolerant variety of orchids. As long as the lowest indoor temperature is not lower than 5 degrees, you can safely overwinter.

Because the plants are tall, winter maintenance needs to pay attention to frequent window opening and ventilation to keep the air circulating, otherwise the leaves may get sick.

Phalaenopsis

If someone asks what is the most popular orchid in 2008? If Phalaenopsis is second, no orchid dares to say first.

As the best-selling orchid variety in the Spring Festival, people even gave Phalaenopsis another name: "Yuanxiao Flower".

This is because it is usually listed during the Spring Festival to the Lantern Festival, hence the name.

Because of its large output, Phalaenopsis is also the cheapest orchid variety during the Chinese New Year. Usually, more than 20 pieces can buy a small pot, and the flowering period lasts for about 3 months, which is very cost-effective.

Key points of winter maintenance

The root system of Phalaenopsis is very sensitive to temperature. Excessive temperature difference will cause damage to its cells.

Phalaenopsis in winter needs heat preservation and maintenance, and it will be placed indoors with air conditioning or warm ground.

The water flowing from the tap water pipe is 3~4 degrees lower than that indoors, and direct irrigation of Phalaenopsis will lead to root damage or even death of the whole plant.

You must connect the tap water to the watering can and leave it indoors for an hour or two before using it.

Orchids with large flowers

Cymbidium hybridum, also known as Hutoulan, is believed to have been seen by many flower lovers when they visited the flower market.

Although orchids are more expensive, who makes people look high?

Strong, broad and straight leaves, together with a string of huge and gorgeous flowers, make orchids a timeless flower.

Whether it is given as a New Year gift or decorated at home, it has face.

Maintenance points

Compared with other orchids, Cymbidium hybridum is more drought-tolerant and doesn't like humidity very much.

Coupled with the low temperature in winter and slow evaporation of water, it is necessary to water less.

If you water the roots too much, they rot easily.

Cymbidium hybridum is an artificial hybrid orchid, which is not as delicate as traditional orchids and is still very easy to raise.
