How to care for orchids to make them bloom
Life knowledge series, about how to care for orchids to make them bloom and detailed orchid maintenance knowledge in the field of green plants and flowers, let's take a look together!
Today I am going to tell you about a plant called Cymbidium, which is a type of orchid. Orchid is a general term, while Cymbidium is a specific name. The orchids we usually see are Cymbidium sinense and Cymbidium ensifolium, which have many varieties and are quite popular. The Cymbidium mentioned today is relatively rare and a special type of orchid.
How much do you know about the maintenance of Cymbidium? The small flower shares some knowledge with you about the daily maintenance of Cymbidium and how to deal with problems encountered during maintenance as soon as possible to prevent Cymbidium from being harmed. Of course, this method of caring for orchids is universal and is also very beneficial for other orchids in your home. I hope that everyone's orchids can grow very vigorously and the petals can fill the pot.
The small flower has summarized the following points about orchid maintenance based on the overall habits of orchids, including soil matrix, nutrient fertilization, sunlight exposure time, length of exposure to light, and the surrounding ventilation environment, as well as potting and maintenance. Although there are many aspects, they are really useful for the orchids in our home.
1. Cymbidium Matrix
The matrix is the key to plant growth. Whether your plant can grow vigorously depends on the soil matrix, which is directly related to the plant's roots. A strong plant also needs to have strong roots, which brings us back to the plant's matrix.
How to care for orchids to make them bloom
The soil for growing orchids must be natural, fertile, and loose. Natural humus soil is best suited for orchid growth. Withered and decaying leaves are suitable for orchid roots to absorb, and they will gradually decompose with watering. Such soil is the most suitable for orchid growth, especially the decomposed leaves under the trees in deep mountains and old forests.
Humus soil also has good breathability, being loose and breathable. When watering, it can quickly penetrate all the soil, preventing uneven growth caused by uneven watering and the roots not absorbing enough water. Therefore, humus soil is the most suitable and the best matrix choice for growing orchids.
2. Nutrients Required for Growth
Although the orchid plant does not grow large, with only a few leaves, it is a plant that consumes a lot of nutrients. Just like a sparrow may be small but has all its internal organs, orchids require plenty of nutrients to make their stems stronger. At the same time, it can also increase their resistance to diseases and pests, promote the number of blooms, and extend the blooming period of orchids.
