Care Points for the Blooming Period of Big Flowered Cymbidium
This article explains the key points for caring for Big Flowered Cymbidium during its blooming period and shares methods for accelerating flowering, providing floral knowledge that is worth collecting!
Hello, everyone, welcome to this episode. Today, let's talk about the growth conditions of Big Flowered Cymbidium after it flourishes.
I. Basic Management After the Plant Successfully Develops Buds.
Generally, the blooming period of Big Flowered Cymbidium is quite 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 something that requires careful planning.
The long duration means that the supply of water and nutrients must be adequate. Based on my past experience, I believe that the management of Big Flowered Cymbidium during the blooming period is not difficult. People just need to focus on the following four points.
1. Get plenty of sunshine, which helps in growth and消毒.
2. Maintain a reasonable temperature, not too high or too low, just moderate.
3. Always remember to water thoroughly when the soil is dry to prevent excessive accumulation of water in the pot.
4. Fertilize more before the blooming period and temporarily stop fertilizing after the flowers have bloomed.
II. What to Do if Bud Dries Unexpectedly?
1. Get more sunshine. The lack of light means the lateral buds cannot differentiate into flowering buds, leading to the gradual withering and falling off of new sprouts, resulting in a significant reduction in the plant's flower yield. Therefore, 25°C should be considered the dividing line for light intensity, with more scattered light if higher and ensuring at least 4 hours of normal sunlight daily if lower.
2. Increase humidity. Big Flowered Cymbidium naturally loves humidity. Insufficient humidity in the environment will affect the normal growth and development of the plant. If flower buds are born in relatively dry conditions, they will also exhibit slow growth, dull leaves, and withered flower buds, so it is necessary to focus on supplementing water and increasing humidity by frequently spraying water around.
3. Supplement nutrients. As a typical plant that loves fertilizer, both root growth and flower bud differentiation can only occur with adequate nutrients, otherwise, the flower buds will continue to wither and fall. It is advisable to apply fertilizer gradually, meaning avoid high-frequency heavy feeding and opt for frequent light fertilization instead.
4. Increase temperature difference. Temperature difference is also one of the key factors affecting flower bud differentiation. To promote successful differentiation of flower buds, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature difference is greater than 10 degrees.
III. Secret Tips for Stimulating Flower Buds in Big Flowered Cymbidium.
As mentioned earlier, to effectively stimulate flower buds and increase flower yield, four things need to be done.
1. Ensure that the temperature difference in the current environment is greater than or equal to 10 degrees, and once flower buds have successfully differentiated, moderate cooling should be applied to avoid high temperatures 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 roots, while the latter two are good at promoting flowering. Therefore, whenever the blooming period is approaching, regardless of what fertilizer was used before, it should be switched to phosphorus-potassium fertilizer as soon as possible.
4. Be flexible when exposing the plant to sunlight, and if necessary, moderately遮光 until the strong UV alert is “lifted,” then gradually return to normal light levels.
