How to care for the flower buds of Cymbidium grandiflorum
Are you curious about how to care for the flower buds of Cymbidium grandiflorum and the correct watering method for green plants and flowers? The following is a detailed introduction.
Care for the flowering period of Cymbidium grandiflorum
Hi everyone, welcome to this episode. Today, let's talk about some growth conditions of Cymbidium grandiflorum after it flourishes.
I. Basic management after the plant successfully produces flower buds.
Generally speaking, the flowering period of Cymbidium grandiflorum is relatively long. If there are no accidents, it can bloom continuously from October of each year to around April of the following year, lasting about half a year. How to maintain the plant's growth during this period is what everyone should carefully consider.
The long duration means that the supply of water and nutrients must be in place. Based on my past experience, I believe that the management of Cymbidium grandiflorum's flowering period is not difficult. People only need to focus on the following four points.
1. Spend more time in the sun, which is good for growth and消毒.
2. Reasonably control the temperature, not too high or too low, just moderate.
3. Always remember the principle of watering when the soil is completely dry to prevent excessive accumulation of water in the pot.
4. Fertilize more before the flowering period and temporarily stop fertilizing after flowering.
II. What to do if the flower buds unexpectedly wither?
1. Spend more time in the sun. In fact, lack of light means that the differentiation of lateral buds is hindered, unable to differentiate into a large number of flower buds with germination ability. Over time, the new tender buds will wither and eventually fall off, leading to a significant reduction in the plant's flower yield. Therefore, it is advisable to use 25℃ as the dividing line for light intensity, with more scattered light when high and ensuring at least 4 hours of normal sunlight every day when low.

2. Increase humidity. Cymbidium grandiflorum naturally loves humidity. Insufficient humidity in the environment will affect the normal growth and development of the plant. Among them, if the flower buds are accidentally born under relatively dry conditions, they will also show slow growth, dull leaves, and withering of flower buds. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on supplementing water and increasing humidity by frequently spraying water around.
3. Supplement fertilizer. As a typical plant that loves fertilizer, whether it is the germination of roots or the differentiation of flower buds, it can only proceed under sufficient nutrients, otherwise the flower buds will continue to wither and fall. To be on the safe side, fertilization should be gradual, meaning that excessive and frequent fertilization is prohibited, and thin and frequent fertilization is the best strategy.
4. Increase the temperature difference. It may be less known that temperature difference is also one of the key factors affecting flower bud differentiation. To promote the smooth differentiation of flower buds, the temperature difference must be greater than 10 degrees.
III. Secret tips for stimulating flower buds in Cymbidium grandiflorum.
As mentioned earlier, if you want to effectively stimulate flower bud growth and achieve the goal of increasing flower yield, you need to do four things.
1. Ensure that the temperature difference in the current environment is greater than or equal to 10 degrees, and once the flower buds have successfully differentiated, moderately lower the temperature to prevent high temperature from interrupting the process.
2. Control watering, do not rush to water, and only water when the potting soil is 70-80% dry.
3. Choosing the right fertilizer is important. Among the most commonly used fertilizers on the market, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers all have the effect of promoting plant growth, but the former mainly affects the roots, while the latter two are good at promoting flowers. Therefore, whenever it is close to the flowering period, regardless of what fertilizer you used before, you should quickly switch to phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
4. Be flexible when exposing the plant to sunlight, moderately shading when necessary, and gradually returning to normal light levels after the strong UV alert is "lifted."
