No.1 Guzmania (Vriesea / Bromeliad)
Guzmania is very popular among flower lovers, because its flowers are large, brightly colored and festive, and it carries the lovely meaning of rising step by step and enjoying prosperity, and its blooming period is long as well.
How to care for it after buying it home?
1. Guzmania is an ornamental bromeliad, very easy to keep alive, and does not need elaborate care. Usually, place the Guzmania by a living room window to ensure plenty of scattered light.
2. Air bromeliads are afraid of the cold. If your home has heating, there is no problem. If the room temperature at home is below 15°C, you need to cover the Guzmania with a plastic bag to keep it warm, otherwise the flower color will fade.
3. Guzmania likes a humid environment, but do not water it often. Before watering, check whether the leaf cup is dry. If there is water in it, do not water; if it is dry, then water, and do not pour too much at one time.
No.2 Cyclamen
Cyclamen is also a very beautiful Chinese New Year flower. It blooms in winter, and its flowers are lively and lovely. The blooming period of Cyclamen is especially long; if the indoor conditions are suitable, it can even bloom all year round.
How to care for it after buying it home?
1. A Cyclamen just bought home may show temporary wilting and yellow leaves due to the change in environment. At this time, cut off the yellow leaves, place it in a cool, well-ventilated spot, and after a week of acclimating it will be fine.
2. Cyclamen is a bulbous flower, and the plant has a strong water-storage capacity, so water it less. Generally, if the indoor temperature is around ten-plus degrees, watering about once a week is enough. Before watering, check whether the soil is dry, and water only when it is dry.
3. Cyclamen prefers a cool, well-ventilated environment. If the temperature at home is above 20°C, it is easy for the Cyclamen flowers to dry up and wilt. You can spray a little water appropriately to lower the temperature and keep it moist.
No.3 Anthurium
Anthurium flowers are brightly colored and glossy, very beautiful when viewed from a distance, and on top of that, its blooming period is especially long. One pot bought home can bloom for several months. If you are buying a Chinese New Year flower, Anthurium is a good choice.
How to care for it after buying it home?
1. Anthurium is relatively easy to keep. As long as the room temperature stays at 14°C, there is generally no problem. However, it is not that the higher the temperature the better. Around 20°C, Anthurium grows faster and its blooming period lasts a bit longer.
2. Usually, you can place the Anthurium on an east or west balcony or in the living room indoors to ensure a scattered-light environment. Try not to expose it to direct sun, otherwise the flowers will wilt.
3. Anthurium likes moisture. Water it once every 5 or 6 days. Usually, spray a little water on the Anthurium leaves every few days to keep them moist. On rainy days, do not spray water on the Anthurium again; when humidity is high, water does not evaporate easily, which may cause water accumulation and rot.
No.4 Phalaenopsis (Moth Orchid)
Phalaenopsis is also a popular Chinese New Year flower in recent years. Its shape is unique and elegant, and its types and flower colors vary. Placing one pot at home can instantly elevate the style of the room.
How to care for it after buying it home?
1. Phalaenopsis likes a high-temperature environment, and the room temperature must be kept above 16°C. If you have heating in the north, there is no problem. Flower lovers in the south can build a simple insulation shed with plastic film to keep the Phalaenopsis warm.
2. Phalaenopsis likes moisture. If the room temperature is high, the air humidity will be relatively low. You can spray water near the Phalaenopsis or on its branches and leaves every morning to keep it moist, and water once every 2 or 3 weeks.
3. Phalaenopsis is suitable for growing under semi-shaded conditions, but sufficient light before blooming is needed to accumulate enough nutrients to support the Phalaenopsis blooming. After blooming, you can shade it appropriately to extend the blooming period.
No.5 Camellia
Camellia is a very beautiful Chinese New Year flower, with many varieties. There are red, white, purple, and yellow ones, and the blooming period of Camellia is relatively long. When it blooms, each flower stands gracefully and is very pleasing to the eye.
How to care for it after buying it home?
1. Camellia likes a humid growing environment. If your home has heating, an air conditioner, or floor heating, pay attention to spraying water on the Camellia to keep it moist. You can spray the branches and leaves, but after it blooms, do not spray water on the flowers, otherwise they will wither and fall.
2. The suitable ambient temperature for Camellia is 10~15°C, and the room temperature should not be lower than 5°C at minimum, otherwise it will affect the differentiation and growth of flower buds. If the temperature is too low, you can cover it with a plastic bag to keep it warm, but ventilate it regularly.
3. Camellias you buy generally already have buds. At this time, water about once every two weeks. After drawing tap water, let it sit indoors for 1 or 2 days first, so the water temperature rises and the chlorine in the tap water is removed.
