Growing habits of Jianlan
Jianlan originally grew on the mid-slope valley walls of deep mountains and secluded valleys, in the crevices of sloping hillsides, and beside sparse mountain grass. It sometimes also grows on the cliffs by mountain streams.
Jianlan likes a shady environment, likes moisture, avoids dryness, and avoids direct sunlight. The most suitable temperature for growth is 15~30°C. Above 35°C, below 5°C, growth stagnates, and severe poor growth may occur. If the temperature is high and there is strong sun exposure, the leaves are easily scorched. If the temperature is low and it is not moved indoors in time, it is easily frostbitten.
Jianlan has fleshy roots and is suitable for growing in soil rich in humus. Drainage should be good, the soil should be slightly acidic, and it should be rich in iron. Regular loosening of the soil is beneficial to the growth of Jianlan.
