The growth habits of Aglaia odorata

Aglaia odorata is native to open forests or shrub forests in low-altitude mountainous areas. It likes warm, humid and sunny environments, is not cold-tolerant, and is slightly shade-tolerant. Loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil is best, and the winter temperature should not be lower than 10°C.

Aglaia odorata likes a sunny environment and likes fertilizer. The optimal temperature for growth is 20~25°C. Usually, with sufficient sunlight and a temperature of around 30°C, the flowers it produces will be more strongly fragrant. In summer, normal light is fine. If it is maintained in a shaded environment and at the same time given a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer, it will cause situations such as Aglaia odorata not blooming or blooming little and having a faint fragrance. Therefore, during the growth period, Aglaia odorata should be placed in a sunny place for care, and attention should be paid to applying more liquid fertilizer containing more phosphorus. It is best to apply fully decomposed alum fertilizer water made by soaking crushed bone meal, fish bones, chicken bones, etc., which can promote flower bud formation and more blooming.

The flower language of Aglaia odorata

With love, life will bloom.

Originating from this flower language, there is such a legend: there is a kind of flower that blooms red flowers for half of the year and blue flowers for the other half. When the sun rises, it bursts out with a fiery red radiance, and when the moonlight shines everywhere, it is again shrouded in a faint blue halo. It is so magical, but one day, blue and red flowers bloomed on the same stem. These two flowers shone in the sunlight at the same time and rippled in the moonlight at the same time, equally profound and deeply affectionate. So people began a debate about who is the truly brave flower. This debate lasted a long time, and both sides had quite a few supporters. What did not change was that every time warriors went out to battle, they still wore it, only some people liked to wear blue flowers and some liked to wear red flowers. Gradually the voices of debate became fewer, and people loved this flower that symbolizes life even more!
