Today, I recommend "Bauhinia championii", which is most commonly seen in the Yingde area. Some flower shop owners also call it Yingde Bauhinia. Its charm is not only reflected in its poetic name, but also in its peculiar appearance. Its leaves are lush green. Some plants are forked in the middle. The petal vines are shaped like slender tendrils and appear in pairs, just like the beard of a dragon in legend. Therefore, it is called Bauhinia championii. At the same time, it is also like the flower of Bauhinia, so it is also called Yingde Bauhinia.
Bauhinia championii is a plant belonging to the genus Bauhinia in the family Fabaceae. It can be used for vertical greening of steep slopes and rock walls. If it is planted in a small family courtyard, it can be twined between trees. If it is raised on an anti-theft net, a stable support or grid can be provided for it to grow slowly. When it grows up, it can create a natural landscape full of wild charm.
So, how to take care of Bauhinia championii at home? In its original ecology, it grows in hilly thickets or sparse forests and dense forests at low to medium altitudes. Therefore, it is relatively shade-tolerant and tolerant to drought and barrenness. It can be regarded as a plant that novice flower lovers can take care of. In terms of daily light, it likes bright scattered light, but it also needs to pay attention to the strong sunlight in summer. At this time, additional shading measures are needed to avoid leaf burns caused by excessive exposure.
In terms of relative humidity, it likes a warm and humid environment. Therefore, in the relatively dry seasons of autumn and winter, you can consider spraying wet mist around it to help create a suitable air humidity. Then, in terms of soil, for Bauhinia championii, fertile soil is recommended, such as a mixed soil composed of garden soil, leaf mold and perlite. Make sure there are drainage holes at the bottom of the pot to prevent water accumulation and cause root rot. As for watering, it can be changed according to different seasons. In the season of vigorous growth, follow the principle of keeping the soil slightly moist, and in winter, follow the principle of keeping the soil slightly dry.
Finally, many flower lovers will water the flowers but not fertilize them. This is a big mistake. Because no plant can be malnourished for a long time. If you want Bauhinia championii to grow healthily, you can apply a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month in spring and summer to promote growth and flowering. However, reduce or stop fertilizing in autumn and winter.
