In cities, green plants have become a favorite indoor decoration. Potted Cymbidium sinense, with its beautiful appearance and ease of care, has become a popular variety on the market. So how can you cultivate a Cymbidium sinense into a healthy and beautiful plant? This article will detail the potting and care of Cymbidium sinense.
I. Potting Time and Precautions for Cymbidium sinense
Cymbidium sinense is suitable for potting in spring and autumn. Avoid potting in summer or winter, as the high or low temperatures are not conducive to its growth. Before potting, it is necessary to remove old soil and withered roots, leaving healthy roots to facilitate nutrient absorption. At the same time, a potting soil with good air permeability and strong drainage should be selected.
II. Watering Method
Cymbidium sinense does not like overwatering, as excessive water can easily lead to waterlogged soil and root rot. Water only after the surface soil has dried, keeping the soil just moist. In summer, with high temperatures, Cymbidium sinense needs more frequent watering, but still be careful not to overwater.
III. Fertilizer Application Method
Cymbidium sinense requires appropriate nutrients during its growing period. Generally, compound fertilizer can be used for top-dressing in spring and autumn, once a month. The type and amount of fertilizer should be chosen based on specific conditions such as the variety and potting soil.
IV. Light Requirements
Cymbidium sinense likes sunlight but cannot be directly exposed to it. Generally, it needs at least 4 hours of bright light per day. You can place it by a window or on a balcony.
V. Temperature Requirements
Cymbidium sinense is suitable for growing in an environment of 15-25°C. Avoid growing it in high or low temperature environments. Pay special attention to insulation and ventilation in summer and winter.
VI. Pruning Method
During its growth period, Cymbidium sinense requires regular pruning to promote lush new growth. Generally, pruning can be done in spring and autumn, cutting back vigorously growing branches to maintain a beautiful shape.
VII. Pest and Disease Control
Cymbidium sinense is susceptible to pests and diseases such as powdery mildew and leaf spot, and regular prevention and control are needed during the growing period. Methods such as spraying with pesticides or changing the potting soil can be used for control.
VIII. Repotting Method
Cymbidium sinense grows quickly and needs regular repotting and soil replacement. When repotting, be careful not to damage the roots. Cleanly remove the old soil and old roots before planting in new potting soil.
