Below are several common New Year flower varieties and their care methods to help you keep these beautiful flowers fresh until Spring Festival and add a festive mood to the holiday.

Introduction to New Year flower varieties:

Amaryllis (Hippeastrum): Because its name sounds like "destined to be red" in the coming year, amaryllis has become the "top star" of the New Year flower world. It prefers light and can be placed in full light in winter. Its suitable growth temperature is above 15°C. It is highly drought-tolerant but not tolerant of waterlogging, so water when the soil is dry and let it dry between waterings. A slightly acidic growing medium is recommended.

Phalaenopsis: A tropical epiphytic orchid type with rich flower colors, including pink, white, and yellow, representing happiness and fulfillment. Suitable for placement indoors at 15-28°C, water once a week, and during the flowering period water once every 2weeks and supplement with low-concentration phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

Cymbidium: A terrestrial orchid type. Its suitable growth temperature is 10°C to 25°C. In winter, the overwintering temperature should not be lower than 10°C. It can be watered once every 3-6days, following the principle of "water thoroughly after the soil dries out." In winter care, fertilize once every 3-5days.

Cattleya: A tropical epiphytic orchid with large flower diameter, known as the "king of orchids." It prefers warm and humid environments and needs sufficient light. It is best planted in a well-drained growing medium, watered once every 5-7days, and supplemented with water-soluble fertilizer along with watering.

Clivia: A plant in the Amaryllidaceae family with a unique flower shape, suitable for placement in a well-ventilated environment with bright light. It prefers deep, fertile, slightly acidic growing medium. Wipe the leaves with a damp soft cloth every 1-2weeks to keep them glossy.

Narcissus: One of China's traditional top ten famous flowers and one of the essential plants for the New Year. Provide short-term shade before sprouting, keep sufficient light after sprouting, and keep the indoor temperature around 10°C-15°C before flowering. After flowering, if the room temperature drops below 10°C, the flowering period can be effectively extended.

Anthurium: A high-appeal flower with bright, pure spathe colors. A single bloom can be enjoyed for more than 60days. Suitable for placement in a bright environment with scattered light. During the flowering period, supplement with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once every 10-14days.

Fresh-keeping and care methods for New Year flowers:

Pruning tips: Cutting the base at an angle can increase the water-absorbing area and help fresh flowers return to a plump state more quickly. Some varieties can also be tried with a cross-cut method. After pruning, avoid letting flower leaves and petals touch water to prevent rot.

Water-changing frequency: Change the water once every 2-3days to keep the water clean and extend the flower preservation period. When changing the water, clean the vase and roots, remove impurities and bacteria, and use purified water or add an appropriate amount of preservative.

Water level selection: The water level should be moderate, avoiding submerging the flower buds or being too low. Different varieties may have different water level requirements, so adjust according to the actual situation.

Ventilation conditions: Moderate ventilation is very important for extending the flowering period. It can prevent the growth of pathogens and maintain the freshness of the flowers. But be careful not to place the flowers in a draft, so the flowers do not wither early.

Through the above introduction, I believe you now have a deeper understanding of New Year flower varieties and their fresh-keeping and care methods. I hope these beautiful flowers can add more festivity and joy to your Spring Festival
