In life, growing flowers has become a way for many people to relax. Among the numerous flower varieties, orchid plants have won the favor of many enthusiasts. Today, we will recommend three orchid plants with strong ornamental value and relatively simple maintenance.
Xiaotao Hong (Little Pink Peach)
Xiaotao Hong, also known as Jianlan Xiaotao Hong, has delicate pink flowers and an elegant fragrance. Its leaves are emerald green. Although the flowers are small, they are exquisitely lovely. The pink petals often have white or red spots on them, just like blooming peach blossoms, hence the name. Xiaotao Hong not only has a long flowering period but is also easy to rebloom, making it an ideal choice for novice orchid enthusiasts.
Xiaotao Hong likes a semi-shaded environment and avoids direct sunlight. Especially in summer, it needs shading treatment. Keep the soil slightly moist. Water when the soil is slightly dry to avoid water accumulation and root rot. Spring and autumn are the peak growth seasons, and the watering frequency can be appropriately increased. Apply a thin liquid fertilizer once every half a month during the growth period. 腐熟 organic fertilizer is preferred. Stop fertilizing in winter. The suitable growth temperature is 15-25°C. In winter, pay attention to keeping warm to avoid temperatures lower than 5°C.
Qingshan Yuquan (Green Mountain Jade Spring)
Qingshan Yuquan is one of the famous varieties of Jianlan. Its leaves are straight and emerald green, and the flowers are as white as snow. There is a touch of emerald green on the edges of the petals, which is extremely beautiful. Qingshan Yuquan has a long flowering period and a dignified and elegant flower shape. It is a rare and excellent orchid. Similar to Xiaotao Hong, it needs to be placed in a semi-shaded place to avoid direct strong sunlight. Maintain a good ventilation environment, which helps reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. Appropriate increase in air humidity is beneficial for the opening of flowers and the growth of leaves. Spray water around the plant or use a humidifier.
Yinbian Dagong (Silver-edged Grand Tribute)
Yinbian Dagong has silver-white borders on the edges of its leaves and huge flowers. Its leaves are broad and straight. The silver borders sparkle in the sunlight, making it even more magnificent. The flowers are large and gorgeous, with rich and varied colors, including red, yellow, pink, and many other choices, with extremely high ornamental value. Yinbian Dagong not only has a beautiful flower shape but also a rich fragrance. It is one of the best among orchids. Yinbian Dagong likes an environment with sufficient sunlight but still needs appropriate shading in summer. During the growth period, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Reduce the watering frequency in winter and keep the soil slightly dry. Regularly trim old, diseased, and withered leaves to keep the plant neat and beautiful. Change the potting soil every 2-3 years to provide sufficient growth space and nutrition.
The above three orchid plants each have their own characteristics. They not only have strong ornamental value but are also relatively easy to maintain. Whether as home decorations or excellent choices for cultivating sentiment, they are all good options.
