When does the big flowered cymbidium bloom?
The website introduces the blooming period of big flowered cymbidium and related gardening experience for enjoying the flowers. Next, the editor of the website will introduce to the netizens.
I. Basic management after the plant successfully sprouts.
Generally speaking, the blooming period of big flowered cymbidium is relatively long. If there are no accidents, it can bloom continuously from October of each year to about April of the following year, lasting about half a year. How to maintain the plant's growth during this period is a problem that needs everyone's careful planning.
The long duration means that the supply of water and nutrients must be in place. Based on past experience with small flowers, I believe that the management of the blooming period of big flowered cymbidium is not difficult. People only need to focus on the following four points.
1. Get plenty of sunshine in daily life, which helps growth and disinfection.
2. Reasonably control the temperature, not too high or too low, just moderate.
3. Always remember to water thoroughly when watering, to prevent a large amount of water from accumulating in the pot.
4. Fertilize more before the blooming period and temporarily stop fertilizing after the flowers bloom.
II. What to do if the flower buds unexpectedly wither?
1. Get more sunshine. In fact, lack of light means that the differentiation of lateral buds is hindered, preventing them from differentiating into flower buds with the ability to sprout. Over time, these new buds will wither and eventually fall off, leading to a significant reduction in the plant's flower yield. Therefore, it is recommended to use 25°C as a dividing line for light intensity, with more diffused light if high and ensuring at least 4 hours of normal sunlight per day if low.
2. Increase humidity. Big flowered cymbidium naturally loves moisture. Insufficient humidity in the environment will affect the plant's normal growth and development. If flower buds are unfortunately born under relatively dry conditions, they will also show symptoms such as slow growth, dull leaves, and withering 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's the germination of roots or the differentiation of flower buds, it can only occur under sufficient nutrients, otherwise the flower buds will continue to wither and fall. It is advisable to apply fertilizer gradually, meaning to avoid high-frequency heavy feeding and instead apply thin and frequent fertilization.
4. Increase temperature difference. It may be less known that temperature difference is also one of the key factors affecting the differentiation of flower buds. To promote the smooth differentiation of flower buds, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature difference is greater than 10 degrees.
III. Secrets to stimulate the sprouting of big flowered cymbidium.
As mentioned earlier, if you want to effectively stimulate the sprouting of flower buds and achieve the goal of increasing the number of flowers, 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 successful differentiation of flower buds is detected, moderate cooling should be applied to avoid high temperatures interrupting the process.
2. Control water, 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 main role of the former is for the roots, while the latter two are good at promoting flowers. Therefore, whenever the blooming period is approaching, no matter what fertilizer you have used before, you should quickly switch to phosphorus-potassium fertilizer.
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."
The above is the introduction to when big flowered cymbidium blooms and a brief overview of enjoying the blooming period of big flowered cymbidium. I hope it brings a little help to your life!
