What is Calanthe?

Calanthe is a genus of plants that include more than 100 species. Plants in the Kalan family are originally from the tropical regions of Asia and Africa and include many exotic orchids and flowering species. These plants include both deciduous and evergreen species, although most gardeners are familiar with deciduous plants because of their great and rare flower. When these tropical plants are grown outside their original areas, most of them require internal cultivation to achieve the required cultivation conditions.

deciduous species of this plant have exotic flowers during spring or summer, but lose their leaves during the colder parts of the year. Gardeners must keep the plant and remove dead leaves throughout the year to keep it alive. While the deciduous kalant requires enough water at the time of growth or flowering, they also require a dry season in winter, when the growth is limited.Ily does not offer exotic flowers found on deciduous species. Most of them have a small size like a shrub and can grow up toInstead of growing up, it acts as a ground coverage. They require regular irrigation throughout the year and routine care. Evergreen species usually do not require dry season in the winter months, such as deciduous varieties. Some of these species of evergreen species may better adapt to non -native growth conditions than flowering Calanthe.

Most of the plants in Kalan grow preferably in medium light or shade, and the ideal temperature range for the plant varies according to species. In their natural habitat, these plants are often grown in wooded areas that provide a shadow of the harsh sun. When growing calanthe inside or in areas outside the tropical climate zone, gardeners should try to simulate the soil found in their natural cultivation conditions. The soil should be mixed with leaves, peat, wood, or sand to mimic the conditions of the forest floor.

outside Asia and Africamany gardeners choose a perennial type of this plant to maximize growth. Calanthe Dislor is one of the most difficult and common species in North America and is known for its exotic purple and white flowers. Calanthe Stiato offers beautiful striped leaves, as well as flowers similar to orchids during the summer months. Several hybrid species offer exotic flowers that are better adapted to non -native conditions than natural species. For example, Calanthe Reflexa contains bright pink flowers suitable for growing conditions in most North America and Europe.
