Many friends like fragrant flowers because every time they step into their homes, the fragrance always has the effect of relieving fatigue.
Today, I'm going to introduce a magical flower to you - the Hedychium coronarium. Before this flower blooms, its appearance is shaped like a pagoda and is somewhat similar to a corn. When it is fully open, it is mostly pure white, and the flowers are like butterflies. Its flowering period is from May to November. In addition to being ornamental, it can also be picked to stir-fry, make tea, and even has the effect of repelling mosquitoes.
The Hedychium coronarium has another name, also known as butterfly ginger and Caulokaempferia galanga. It belongs to the genus Hedychium of the Zingiberaceae family. After it is fully open, it exudes a faint fragrance. Placing it at home is just like having a natural air freshener. In the flower market, there are cut flowers and potted plants for cultivation. First, let's talk about the cut flowers. Usually, when you buy them, they are relatively tall. At this time, first cut off about one centimeter of the green branches at the root diagonally, and then soak the flowers in deep water to revive them for about 4 hours. After the flowers are revived, remove the excess leaves, leaving only 1 to 2 ornamental leaves. At this time, if there are a particularly large number of flower buds growing on the flower buds, you can remove 1 to 2 flower buds from each stem as appropriate. This is helpful for the flowers to concentrate nutrients and bloom quickly.
Then, take a beautiful vase, add about 5 centimeters of water, and cultivate the flowers in shallow water. If possible, you can add some flower preservatives or 84 disinfectant water at this time. This can reduce the growth of bacteria. Subsequently, change the water every 2 to 3 days, keep the indoor air ventilated, and let the flowers receive more sunlight.
For friends who buy potted Hedychium coronarium, this plant likes a warm and humid environment and prefers fertile, loose, and well-ventilated soil. The growth temperature is between 22°C and 24°C. It is not very cold-resistant and is also afraid of being directly exposed to strong light for a long time. If the temperature exceeds 30°C, the leaves may be sunburned and become less attractive. If it is in an environment below 5°C for a long time, it will also damage its roots and prevent it from growing normally.
In terms of watering and fertilizing, the flowering period of Hedychium coronarium is from July to November. During this period, the soil should be kept slightly moist, but there must be no water accumulation, otherwise the roots will easily rot. In terms of fertilizing, a liquid fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer should be applied once two weeks before the flowering period. This can provide it with sufficient nutrients and make it grow healthier and stronger.
