Cymbidium is a common indoor green plant, and changing pots is an indispensable step in the growth process of Cymbidium. Watering and fertilization methods after changing pots play a crucial role in the growth and health of Cymbidium sinense. This article will introduce in detail the methods and precautions for correctly watering and fertilizing Cymbidium after changing pots.
1. Choose the right pot soil. The right pot soil can provide sufficient nutrients and good drainage for Cymbidium, which is conducive to plant growth. Acidic or neutral soil with good drainage and strong water retention should be selected, and appropriate amount of legus soil or perlite can be added to improve the soil's ventilation and water retention.
2. When replacing pots with suitable sizes, choose pots of suitable sizes and leave enough space for Cymbidium to grow. There should be drainage holes at the bottom of the flowerpot to prevent root rot due to standing water.
3. Don't water after changing the pot. After changing the pot, the orchid needs a proper period of recuperation. At this time, there is no need to water for the time being. This allows plants to adapt to new growing environments and avoids root damage caused by excessive watering.
4. Observe soil moisture Within a few days after changing the pot, you can observe the soil moisture by touching it with your hands or using a hygrometer. If the soil feels moist, no water is needed; if the soil feels dry, moderate water is needed.
5. When watering properly, pay attention to the right amount when watering to avoid excessive watering causing stagnant water and root rot. You can spray water evenly with a spray bottle, or place the basin in a water basin and let the plants absorb the water they need.
6. Fertilization needs to be cautious. After changing pots, the ability to absorb fertilizer may decrease, so fertilization needs to be cautious. You can choose diluted organic fertilizer and apply it every 1-2 months. Pay attention to controlling the amount to avoid excessive fertilization.
7. Fertilization time The best time to apply fertilizer properly is in spring and summer when growth is strong. Fertilization should be reduced or stopped in winter to avoid freezing damage and excess fertilizer.
8. Pay attention to fertilizer selection. Fertilizers suitable for the growth of Cymbidium should be selected, such as comprehensive fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients to provide comprehensive nutritional support.
9. Observe plant growth Regularly observe the leaf color, shape and new shoot growth of Cymbidium sinense to determine whether the frequency and amount of watering and fertilization need to be adjusted.
10. Avoid continuous alternating dry and wet Cymbidium likes to maintain an environment with moderate humidity, and continuous alternating dry and wet should be avoided. Make sure the soil is slightly dry before watering, and then water it appropriately.
11. Don't let water stay on the bottom of the basin. After watering, make sure that there is no standing water on the bottom of the basin to avoid suffocation and rot of the roots. Pour off excess water in time and ensure that the drain hole at the bottom of the flower pot is smooth.
12. Prevent excessive fertilization and excessive fertilization will cause the leaves of Cymbidium to turn yellow, wither and even die. Fertilization should be carried out in accordance with fertilization instructions and continuous fertilization should be avoided.
13. Careful use of foliar fertilizer can promote chlorophyll synthesis and leaf growth in Cymbidium sinense, but the principle of appropriate amount must be followed when using it to avoid excessive spraying or excessive sunlight sprayed on the leaves.
14. Timely removal of waste. Falling leaves and other waste around the Muran plants should be removed regularly to keep the plants clean and ventilated.
15. After changing pots, Cymbidium needs appropriate watering and careful fertilization. The time and amount of watering and fertilization can be judged by observing soil moisture and plant growth. Reasonable watering and fertilization methods help the growth and health of Cymbidium.
