關於金稜邊

Kinryohen (Golden-edged Orchid) is a compact Cymbidium with reddish-brown flower spikes. Cold- and drought-tolerant, beginner-friendly, and famed for its honeybee-attracting fragrance.

開始照料金稜邊前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Thrives in Bright Light

   Kinryohen is fairly tolerant of direct sunlight and grows well in a bright spot. Just give it light shade during the strongest midsummer sun, and keep it somewhere with good air circulation for healthy growth.

2. 2Water Sparingly

   Compared to many other orchids, Kinryohen tolerates dry conditions well. Water thoroughly once the surface of the potting medium has dried out, and avoid letting water sit in the saucer, as overly wet conditions can lead to root rot.

3. 3Well-Draining Media

   Use a well-aerated, free-draining medium such as bark or sphagnum moss. Standard potting soil tends to trap moisture around the roots, so an orchid-specific mix is the safer choice.

4. 4Divide Every Few Years

   Once a plant has filled its pot, divide it while repotting. Do this from spring onward, and for plants carrying flower buds, wait until blooming has finished. Dividing the plant is a basic part of its ongoing care, letting you multiply and enjoy it for years, and it is a manageable task even for beginners.

5. 5Cold Hardiness

   Thanks to its cold tolerance, Kinryohen can often be kept outdoors in a sheltered spot, such as under eaves, even through winter, as long as it is protected from freezing. Still, take care to avoid sudden temperature swings and frost during the coldest months.

6. 6Bee-Attracting Blooms

   When in bloom, the flowers release a distinctive fragrance famous for attracting swarms of Japanese honeybees. The small, 3-4cm blossoms line up along the flower spike, giving the plant the understated charm typical of classic ornamental orchids.

7. 7Choosing a Healthy Plant

   Look for a plant with glossy, unblemished leaves free of yellowing or dark spots. Gently check the base of the plant for firm, well-established roots, which makes ongoing care easier.
