How to grow Cymbidium well
A brief knowledge sharing, introducing how to grow Cymbidium well and the cultivation methods and precautions of Cymbidium in green plants and flowers. Please refer to the detailed introduction below.
Lighting issues: Indoor cultivation of Cymbidium should be exposed to scattered light frequently, preferably ensuring 6 hours of scattered light every day, and should not be placed in a hidden place for a long time.
Pay attention to humidity: Cymbidium requires high air humidity, and in addition to regular watering, it should be frequently misted with water.
Good ventilation: Indoor cultivation of Cymbidium should frequently open windows to ensure good ventilation.
Suitable soil: The soil used must be loose, breathable, and rich in humus, either self-mixed or purchased.
I. Lighting issues
When cultivating Cymbidium indoors, pay attention to lighting issues. Although it has a certain tolerance to shade, it should not be kept in a dim environment for a long time, otherwise, it cannot perform photosynthesis normally, which will affect flowering and lead to poor growth. Place Cymbidium in a semi-shaded area indoors to receive scattered light, preferably for about 6 hours a day, to promote vigorous growth and better flowering. During noon, the light is too strong, especially in summer, it must be moved to a cool and well-ventilated place to avoid sunburn.
II. Pay attention to humidity
Cymbidium prefers a slightly humid environment and requires high air humidity. Regular watering is a must, and a certain level of humidity must be maintained. If the potting soil indoors dries out, water it promptly, controlling the amount of water so that the soil is slightly moist, and strictly avoid waterlogging. If the climate is dry, it is necessary to mist frequently, especially in winter when there is heating indoors. If the environment is too dry, it can easily lead to dry tips, yellow tips, and yellow leaves, which will affect normal growth and reduce ornamental value.
III. Good ventilation
Cymbidium has high requirements for the environment and cannot be kept in a stuffy and hot environment for a long time. Good indoor ventilation is necessary. In a poorly ventilated environment, the leaves are prone to spots and various growth disorders. During the growing period, it is necessary to ventilate frequently to ensure a good ventilation environment, especially in the hot summer, to promote the vigorous growth of Cymbidium.
IV. Suitable soil
When cultivating Cymbidium indoors, pay attention to the soil issue. It has very strict soil requirements, with fleshy roots that require loose, breathable, and well-draining soil. This kind of soil environment ensures normal growth and is convenient for regular management. You can mix soil with vermiculite, perlite, bark, moss, and fern roots, or buy special soil for orchids. Note that the soil you mix must be disinfected in advance to prevent bacteria or eggs.
