| Have you ever been to a wedding and simply loved the bride's bouquet (花束)? More than likely some part of it was the Hawaiian Wedding Plant. This exotic(外国的) houseplant can be enjoyed by anyone, not just brides. With a little proper attention and carefully planning on location, this foreign houseplant, native to Madagascar, can be brought into the home where it can become an interesting focus. Caring for the Hawaiian Wedding Plant is not much different than that of any other houseplants being in your home. The basic requirements of water, soil, light and a good fertilizer are required for this beautiful, exotic houseplant. The only difference between this type of houseplant and others is the amount of the basic requirements that it needs to survive and perform beautifully. During the growing season, it requires its soil moist(潮湿的), but when winter rolls around, it needs its soil to be kept drier. Hawaiian Wedding Plants should also be potted in welldrained soil and placed in a location that receives full sun to bright shade. Mist the foliage(叶子) daily and feed this plant every two to three weeks with a slowrelease fertilizer for acidloving plants. Prune(修剪) in early spring, even as early as February. The most special feature of it is its long lasting blooms combined with fabulous fragrance(奇妙的 芳香). The Hawaiian Wedding Plant blooms the heaviest in the spring months, but has been known to bloom in any warm months, so do not be surprised to find blooms most anytime of the year except maybe in the dead of winter. When they do bloom, seedpods(豆荚) will often form and should be allowed to dry while on the vine(藤). Do not pick these seedpods too early and expect to use the seeds for propagation(繁殖). After the seedpods have been allowed to dry on the vine, the seeds can be planted in welldraining soil and kept moist until new Hawaiian Wedding Plants begin to grow. Everyone can enjoy the Hawaiian Wedding Plant, no matter what of green thumb the gardener may be lucky enough to have. With a little attention, this beautiful, fragrant flowering exotic houseplant will be enjoyable for many years to come, not just when attending a wedding. |
