Freesia is a very beautiful bulbous plant that is loved by many for its fragrant flowers and diverse colors. If you want to raise Xiangxuelan well, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:
Orchids are usually planted in autumn so that they can bloom in late winter and early spring. Make sure to plant the bulbs in the soil before the frost comes.
Sylla prefers well-drained soil. Choose from a dedicated bulbous soil, or make your own blend such as peat, sand, perlite or vermiculite.
When planting fragrant orchids, the bulbs should be buried 2-3 cm deep under the soil, making sure that the bud eyes (the growing point of the new shoots) are facing upwards.
After planting, keep the soil slightly moist, but not overly wet. Too much moisture can cause the bulb to rot. During the growing season, watering should be done at the right time according to how dry and wet the soil is.
Fragrant snow orchid needs plenty of sunlight to promote healthy growth and flowering. If it is maintained indoors, it should be placed in a bright place near a window.
During the growing season, a special bulb plant fertilizer can be applied once a month to provide the necessary nutrients.
Regularly inspect Xiangxuelan to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases. If pests and diseases are found, they should be dealt with in a timely manner.
After flowering, you can cut off the wilted flowers, but don't cut off the leaves. When the leaves have wilted naturally, the bulbs can be dug up and stored in a dry, ventilated place for next planting.
By following these basic conservation guidelines, you will be able to successfully raise the orchid and enjoy its beauty and fragrance.
