晶唇兰

晶唇兰的基本数据

养护难度

适合中级者

寿命

多年生，可以通过分株长期栽培（关于寿命的资料很少）

体型

假球茎5～8厘米、叶片长度15～30厘米、花径6～10厘米

浇水

生长期施以稀释的液体肥料

光照与放置位置

冬季的光线对花芽形成至关重要，因此冬季要充分接受光照。夏季放在遮光的凉爽地方。

浇水

作为雾多的山地附生兰，生长期不要过度干燥。假球茎充实后，减少浇水。

温度与越冬

喜欢凉爽环境的低温原生种，不耐夏季高温。冬季给予较低温度会更容易开花。

盆土与换盆

因根茎横向生长，用浅盆或篮子用树皮或水苔栽植。分株和换盆在花后进行。

休眠期管理

从形成花芽的秋季到冬季，减少浇水使其相对干燥，但要注意不要让假球茎过度干燥而皱缩。

关于晶唇兰

Coelogyne cristata is a Himalayan orchid that bears fragrant, pure-white blooms with wavy-edged petals from late winter into spring. It favors cool conditions and suits intermediate growers.

开始养护晶唇兰前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Sun in winter, shade in summer

   Bright light in winter is essential for flower buds to form, so give it plenty of sun during the colder months. It dislikes summer heat, though, so move it to a shaded, cool spot in summer. Good air circulation also keeps the plant healthy.

2. 2Water generously while growing

   During active growth, water thoroughly once the surface of the mix dries out. After flowering, as growth slows, gradually space out waterings to suit this orchid's preference for cool conditions, giving it a clear rhythm between wet and dry periods.

3. 3Use a well-draining mix

   As an epiphytic orchid, it does best in a mix that drains and breathes well, such as bark or sphagnum moss. Avoid letting water pool in the pot to prevent root rot; mounting on a fern-fiber board or growing in an unglazed clay pot are also common approaches.

4. 4Repot right after flowering

   The best time to repot is right after flowering, before new roots begin to grow. When the pseudobulbs have filled the pot or the mix has broken down, it's a good sign that repotting is due — work quickly to avoid damaging the roots.

5. 5Keep cool and slightly dry in winter

   This orchid prefers cool conditions, so keeping it in a bright, cool spot and watering a little less in winter helps encourage flower buds to form. Avoid extreme cold or excessive dryness, but giving it a clear dormant-season rhythm supports blooming the following spring.

6. 6Divide once clumps fill the pot

   As a perennial that can be divided and grown for many years, this orchid benefits from division once the pseudobulbs multiply and the pot becomes crowded. Splitting the clump into sections that each include some older backbulbs helps the divisions establish and grow steadily.

7. 7Pick plants with plump pseudobulbs

   When choosing a plant, look for pseudobulbs that are plump, firm, and present in multiples rather than just one or two. Healthy, undamaged leaves and firm roots are also good signs of a plant that will settle in and grow well.
