Orchid
Despite being known as a “sensitive” flower to the cold weather, orchids bloom in winter. With their unique shape, elegance, and vibrant colors, orchids are perfect for indoor decoration, especially in the living room during Lunar New Year. This type of flower has the meaning of good luck, bringing prosperity to the homeowners, flourishing career, abundant wealth, and vibrant love life.
As orchids prefer a moist and warm environment with partial shade, you should place them in slightly higher temperatures. In addition, the soil for growing the plants should be rich, with a lot of humus and porousness. As these are short plants, you can promote flowering by controlling the light. To make orchids bloom after 2 to 3 months, you can bring the potted plants outside and expose them to the sun for 8 to 10 hours a day.
Phalaenopsis Orchid
It is not a coincidence that people often buy phalaenopsis orchids for Lunar New Year. This is because they are visually appealing, with vibrant and luxurious colors. Phalaenopsis orchids also symbolize the desire for a wealthy and prosperous life, smooth sailing in all endeavors, and abundant luck.
Phalaenopsis orchids usually bloom from November to April of the following year. Although beautiful, this type of flower is quite expensive and difficult to care for. You should plant phalaenopsis orchids in slightly acidic, rich, porous soil with good drainage. The appropriate temperature for growing these plants is between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius, in a warm and partially shaded environment.
Rose
During the Lunar New Year, a rose is suitable for indoor decoration due to its vibrant red color, tall and straight stems, and long blooming period. Typically, a rose can bloom beautifully from 3 to 5 months, continuously blooming throughout the Lunar New Year. In feng shui, roses are also symbolic of luck and harmony. Placing them in the living room will bring the homeowners a lucky, prosperous, and abundant new year.
As roses originate from tropical rainforest regions, they are suitable for warm, partially shaded weather and thrive in rich, porous soil with good drainage.
Amaryllis
Amaryllis, also known as the Western Water Lily, is a multi-colored flower with a strong and pleasant fragrance. People often buy amaryllis to plant in their homes during Lunar New Year because this flower is associated with new beginnings, positive energy, abundant joy, and pure and strong love.
As amaryllis prefers sunlight and dislikes cold weather, you need to carefully take care of them to make them thrive. You can grow amaryllis in both soil and aquatic environments. If you choose to grow them in soil, you should choose a loose, sandy, and rich soil mixture. If you choose to grow them in an aquatic environment, you only need to keep the water clean and constantly replenished.
