Put a pot of Mo Lan in the living room, and the blooming Mo Lan is full of fragrance, poetic and picturesque, and full of charm.

Mary, I just bought a pot of Mo Lan, there are a lot of flowers, there are more than 20 flowers on one flower arrow, I like it so much. I want to ask, does Mo Lan like sunshine?

Melan is a perennial herbaceous plant. The flowering period is from September to March of the following year, because its peak flowering period coincides with the first month of the Gregorian calendar every year, so it is also called the New Year's Orchid by flower friends. There are many flowers of Molan, racemes, and the flower colors are purple-brown, white, peach-red, yellow-green, etc., with a strong aroma, which is deeply liked by orchid friends.

When you get home, try not to move it too often when you put it in your home (all new potted plants are also required). Place it in the living room, you can first place it in a place with astigmatism, ventilation and ventilation (you can also place it by the window facing the sun). After about 3-5 days, there is nothing unusual about the plant (no buds, no yellow leaves, etc.). It means that the plant can only be maintained normally after it has been adapted to the new environment.

Mo Lan likes semi-yin, but also likes yang and avoids heat. Afraid of the sun? Many Lan friends wondered again.

If you like semi-shade, you should shade the shade, you should like the sun directly, and you should shade the sun if you avoid heat.

It is now a relatively weak and light sunlight in winter, and a softer sunlight in spring, which is suitable for orchid growth. You can place the orchid in a sunny place so that it can receive more natural light (full-time light). When there are many cloudy days and there is little light, you can also use a fill light to illuminate. Abundant sunlight in spring and winter can promote the robust growth of the stems and leaves of the orchid, and facilitate the flowering of many pregnant buds.

In summer, the sun is long and the light is too strong, and the plants are prone to sun exposure. The leaf tail of the orchid is prone to scorching, causing solar burn. At this time, it is necessary to move Mo Lan back indoors, or put a shade net on the balcony to shade the sun. In summer and autumn, 85%-90% shade density is suitable.

Mary, aren't the Moran flowers fragrant? Why doesn't my tree have any fragrance?

The flowers of Mo Lan are scented, but some flower lovers may not smell the fragrance of the flowers, which may be related to the light of Mo Lan. Light is very important for plants because it helps plants accumulate nutrients. In winter, due to cooler temperatures, the root is less active and absorbs water and nutrients more slowly. If you give the orchid the right amount of light at this time, it will ensure that the buds will produce large, brightly colored flowers. The floral fragrance is strongest at the moment when the flowers open, and after the flowers open, the floral fragrance becomes light.

Due to the large number of flowers in the orchid, some varieties can even reach more than 20 flowers, and if there is enough light, water and nutrients, and the flowers bloom neatly (several at the same time), then the whole room will be filled with floral fragrance.

The suitable growing temperature for Melan is between 18 and 30 °C. Recently, whether it is a southern flower friend or a northern flower friend, remember to control the growth temperature of Molan. When the temperature is below 10, Melan is susceptible to frost damage. For example, the yellow leaves of the leaves fall off, the flower buds will disappear, and the petals will appear brown spots.

In winter, remember to control the temperature and keep warm. Especially for office workers, the indoor temperature difference between morning and evening often causes the plant to grow poorly (as mentioned in previous Phalaenopsis articles).

Mary, the newly bought Moran basin is not good-looking, I changed it to a new one. Do you have to wait a week before you can bask in the sun?

It's a drop! No matter what kind of plant you are repotting, remember to put it in a cool and ventilated place, and wait for the seedling period to pass (about a week) before you can maintain it normally. When receiving sunlight, it is also necessary to follow the method of gradually increasing the light in an orderly manner, which is conducive to the growth of Molan. If you don't slow down the seedlings, bask in the sun, and the flower bones with buds are easy to dehydrate and eliminate buds in the sun; When changing pots, the root system will be a little injured, and if you bask in the sun too early, dehydrated yellow leaves will become inevitable.
