Baiyu Xianglan usually blooms from 7-11 each year. However, the exact flowering time may vary depending on the growing environment and care conditions. Spring is the peak growing season for Baiyu Xianglan, when its water needs are high, so it needs frequent watering to keep the soil moist, but watering should be moderate, not too much, to prevent root rot. It is best to wait until the surface of the soil is dry before watering. 

If you want Baiyu Xianglan to bloom successfully, you can refer to the following care methods:

Soil: Baiyu Xianglan likes a relatively loose, fertile soil environment with good drainage and aeration, so the roots are less likely to suffocate. Do not choose soil that tends to be heavy and sticky, otherwise it can easily lead to root rot during care. When mixing the soil, you can use a blend of leaf mold, garden soil and river sand.

Light: Baiyu Xianglan has certain requirements for light; although it does not like direct sunlight, it likes plenty of sunlight and can also tolerate a certain amount of semi-shade. During the growing period, it should be placed in a sunny spot and receive no less than 4 hours of light per day, which can promote better flower bud differentiation and thus improve flowering quality. In winter, when it is cold, make sure it gets light while being protected from cold wind.

Temperature: The most suitable growing temperature for Baiyu Xianglan is between 15-25°C. In summer, pay attention to shading and cooling, and do not put it in the sun to bake. In winter, pay attention to keeping it warm and protecting it from the cold.

Watering: Baiyu Xianglan likes to grow in a moist environment, but watering should be moderate to avoid overwatering and waterlogging. If the soil is too wet, the roots will rot due to poor respiration, causing the leaves to turn yellow. During the vigorous growth period in spring, its water requirements increase, so it should be watered frequently to keep the soil moist, but waterlogging should be avoided. In summer, appropriately increase the frequency of watering, and in winter, reduce it.

Fertilizing: Baiyu Xianglan needs sufficient nutrients during the growing period. You can regularly apply a dilute liquid fertilizer once every 1 to 2 weeks to promote plant growth. When it is about to bloom, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. When fertilizing, be careful to avoid fertilizer touching the leaves, so as not to burn them.

Pruning: During the growth of Baiyu Xianglan, promptly prune dead branches, diseased branches and overly long branches to keep the plant looking good and to maintain ventilation and light penetration.

It should be noted that different varieties of Baiyu Xianglan may differ somewhat, so adjustments should be made according to the actual situation during care.
