How to grow Cymbidium to make it bloom vigorously
Today's sharing: How to grow Cymbidium to make it bloom vigorously and detailed explanation of 4 Cymbidium maintenance tips related to flower planting. Below, the editor will provide you with a detailed answer.
Many orchid enthusiasts know that Cymbidium plants usually bloom from the New Year to spring. Most orchids bloom in February and March, but Cymbidium is special, its flowering period is in May and June. Yesterday, someone asked why their Cymbidium still doesn't have flower buds yet. In fact, it's because the season hasn't arrived yet. Moreover, proper maintenance is crucial for Cymbidium to bloom. If the maintenance is proper, the flowering period can be quite long, and some may even continue to bloom in summer~
The maintenance difficulty of Cymbidium is relatively low among these flowers. Many新手 flower friends who want to grow orchids can first try Cymbidium. We all know that most orchids need low-temperature vernalization to grow, but not Cymbidium. Cymbidium prefers a warm and humid environment, and vernalization can easily lead to frostbite. When maintaining Cymbidium in winter, it's best to keep it indoors with a temperature above 5 degrees Celsius to prevent frostbite to the plant.
There is still some time before the flowering period of Cymbidium. We must prepare the Cymbidium in advance so that it can grow more vigorously and bloom more in the future. When maintaining Cymbidium, we must strictly follow the following points to make it grow better~
One, fertilizing cleverly
Before Cymbidium blooms, we need to fertilize properly. Spring is a key period for fertilizing many plants, and Cymbidium is no exception. We must fertilize Cymbidium sufficiently in spring because when summer comes, Cymbidium consumes a lot of nutrients during flowering. Insufficient nutrients may cause the flower buds to fall or not open. Now, we should give Cymbidium some oil-based fertilizers, such as melon seed shells, and well-rotted organic fertilizers.

Two, potting cleverly
Spring is a key period for repotting plants. Some flower friends do not have the habit of repotting, but repotting is very important. Spring and autumn are key periods for repotting. Repotting can promote the growth of plant roots. If the roots are crowded in the pot for a long time, it's not good for the plant's growth.
The roots of Cymbidium are thick and fleshy, like radish roots, and grow quite fast, occupying space. Therefore, flower friends should repot Cymbidium with a slightly larger pot in spring. When repotting, adding some fertilizer, such as organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer, is very suitable.
Three, pruning roots cleverly
This is actually related to repotting. When pruning Cymbidium roots, we should cut off any dry, black, or rotting parts, which can be beneficial for root growth. If there are issues with the Cymbidium roots, after pruning, we should soak them in a solution of carbendazim to reduce the invasion of pathogens. After soaking, the roots should be placed in a cool and well-ventilated environment to dry.
