Today's Featured Plant
Orchids are simple and noble. In ancient times, they were grouped with plum blossom, bamboo and chrysanthemum as the "Four Gentlemen"; today, they are chosen as one of China's top ten famous flowers and are greatly loved by many. However, there are many orchid varieties with differing cultivation difficulty. The flower introduced today is named Junhe, with extremely high value for money and suitable for both new and experienced orchid growers.
Junhe
Junhe belongs to the Cymbidium ensifolium four-season orchid group. It was first discovered in the area of Ya'an, Sichuan. Its leaves are broad, emerald green, with bluntly rounded leaf tips, and it has the characteristics of producing "lotus-petal" flower forms; the blooms are large lotus-petal type, with tall flower scapes, a majestic bearing, and both flowers and leaves are beautiful, giving it very high ornamental value.
Very long flowering period
Junhe belongs to the four-season orchid group. With proper care, it may bloom in all four seasons, and its flowering period is not fixed, unlike Cymbidium goeringii and Cymbidium sinense. Junhe generally blooms in summer and autumn, and can bloom 2-3 times a year. A single flower scape can carry several flowers. It is both floriferous and free-blooming, making up for the regret that other orchids do not bloom in summer.
Fragrance overflowing
Four-season orchids generally have well-developed root systems, strong plants and strong sprouting ability, and Junhe is no exception. This variety has strong vitality, is tough and easy to cultivate. Use special orchid soil, place it in a ventilated spot with scattered light, protect it from cold in winter, shade it in summer, and water thoroughly after the soil dries out. Once you grasp its characteristics, it is very easy to grow, and it is suitable for beginners as a practice plant.
Worth getting
In 1999, Junhe won the gold award for orchids at the "World Horticultural Exposition", causing quite a sensation and making it a famous variety for a time. Now, with the spread of cultivation, it has become a common mass-market plant with an affordable price. It is suitable as a floral bonsai placed at home. When it blooms, its fragrance fills the whole room, letting you enjoy the flowers and the scent.
