Key techniques for maintaining potted Cymbidium
(1) Sufficient lighting is required: Cymbidium prefers a well-lit environment. For daily maintenance, it can be placed in the sunniest area of the orchid room or shelf, with minimal shading. Otherwise, it is difficult to bloom. Some Cymbidium varieties need full exposure to the sun to bloom, such as Tieguisu.
(2) Fertilize frequently: Cymbidium, also known as the four-season orchid, has many varieties that can bloom twice a year, and with multiple flowers per spike, it consumes a lot of nutrients. Therefore, when maintaining it, the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently should be followed. Frequent fertilization will make the Cymbidium grow robustly and bloom fully.
(3) Pay attention to pest prevention during the flowering period: Cymbidium usually blooms in the high-temperature season from July to September. Thrips are most likely to attack the flower buds and flowers, causing the flower buds not to grow, turn brown, and die, and the flowers to be eaten, severely affecting their ornamental value. Therefore, insecticides should be sprayed on the Cymbidium when it starts to bud to prevent pest damage.
(4) Pay attention to frost prevention: Cymbidium is susceptible to frost. In the north of the Yangtze River, it should be kept in a closed orchid room during the winter, with the temperature not below 0°C, otherwise frost damage may occur.
