How to Cultivate Big Flowered Cymbidium
Today, I will introduce to you how to cultivate big flowered cymbidium and the cultivation methods of large leaf cymbidium in the aspect of green plants and flowers, and then let's get to know together.
Big flowered cymbidium is best suited to grow in a semi-shaded, warm and humid environment, and it is most suitable to use humus soil and garden soil for cultivation. During the maintenance period, it is necessary to ensure more than 4 hours of sunlight every day, and keep the temperature controlled between 15-25 degrees. It is important to use diluted ripe fertilizer every 15 days and water according to the water requirements of different seasons. I will introduce the specifics to you below.
1. Light and Temperature
The cultivation of big flowered cymbidium requires little light, with more than 4 hours of sunlight every day. In summer, avoid direct sunlight and in winter, when the temperature is low, it can be placed in a location with sufficient indoor light for cultivation. The suitable temperature for the growth of big flowered cymbidium is between 15-25 degrees. Note that in summer, when the temperature is high, shading and cooling measures should be taken to ensure the temperature does not exceed 35 degrees; in winter, when the temperature is low, insulation measures should be taken to keep the temperature above 10 degrees.
2. Water Requirements
Big flowered cymbidium requires a lot of water to grow. When leaves and soil are dry, water should be given in time to keep them moist. Water every 3-5 days in spring and autumn; in summer, when the temperature is high and water evaporates quickly, water once a day; in winter, when the temperature is low, the amount of watering should be reduced appropriately, watering once every 5-10 days is enough. In addition, watering 1-2 times a day during the flowering period helps to extend the flowering period.
3. Fertilization Management
The fertilizer used for big flowered cymbidium must be diluted ripe fertilizer, generally a compound fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Apply once every 10-15 days, using the fertilizer in the soil, and be sure to apply thin and frequent fertilization to avoid excessive nutrition.
4. Pest and Disease Prevention
Big flowered cymbidium is prone to pest and disease problems during growth, with anthracnose being a common occurrence. When it occurs, it is recommended to use carbendazim for fungicidal disinfection, using diluted carbendazim every 10-15 days to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases.
