關於香夜蘭

Brassavola nodosa (Lady of the Night) is a beginner-friendly epiphytic orchid with fragrant, heart-lipped white blooms. Care tips and frequently asked questions are covered here.

開始照料香夜蘭前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Light and Airflow

   This epiphytic orchid loves bright light. Shade it only from harsh midsummer sun, and give it plenty of sunlight the rest of the year for better flowering. Good airflow keeps the roots and plant from staying damp too long.

2. 2Watering Basics

   The slender, pencil-like leaves store moisture, giving this orchid fair tolerance for dry spells. Water thoroughly once the potting medium or mounting surface has dried out, and avoid keeping it constantly wet. In cooler months, spacing out waterings a bit more makes care easier.

3. 3Well-Draining Mix

   Being epiphytic, it does best in a fast-draining, airy medium such as sphagnum moss or bark. It also grows well mounted on cork or wood in traditional "mounted" style rather than potted. Keeping the roots from staying continuously wet is key to healthy growth.

4. 4When to Repot

   A good sign it's time to repot or divide is when the pseudobulbs have filled or outgrown the container. Repotting just as new growth begins helps the roots settle in smoothly. It's also worth repotting sooner if the growing medium has broken down, regardless of season.

5. 5Seasonal Care

   During the growing season from spring through autumn, give the plant plenty of bright light and water more frequently. Growth slows in winter, so watering less often and keeping it slightly on the dry side reduces stress on the plant. Since it's sensitive to cold, move it to a bright indoor spot as temperatures drop.

6. 6Flowers and Fragrance

   Flowers reach about 8 cm across, with narrow yellow-green sepals framing a broad, heart-shaped white lip. They carry little scent during the day but release a strong, citrus-like fragrance after dark — the plant's defining trait. This nighttime fragrance is exactly why it's known as the Lady of the Night.

7. 7Choosing and Propagating

   Look for a plant with firm, plump pseudobulbs, healthy leaves, and sound roots. As a perennial, a well-grown plant can be divided over time and kept going for years. Dividing during the active growing season, as new growth emerges, tends to give the best results.
