Cymbidium likes to grow in loose, breathable and well-drained soil. It is recommended to use leaf mold soil. In addition, homemade culture soil mixed with moss, fern roots, charcoal, bark blocks, broken bricks, etc. is also a very good choice.
During the growth period of Cymbidium cymbidium, sufficient water should be provided. In hot summer, watering should be increased, while in cold winter, the frequency of watering should be reduced, and attention should be paid to the temperature of the water (try to be consistent with room temperature) to avoid frostbite to the roots of the plant.
The best pH value of water used for watering Cymbidium orchids is 6.5.
When the light is strong in summer, it needs to be shaded (Cymbidium does not like to be exposed to direct sunlight, so diffused light should be used). It is best to shade about 50% of the light. In autumn, in order to allow the plant to better form flower buds and survive the winter healthily, it can be exposed to more sunlight. In winter, it needs to be placed in a greenhouse with strong sunlight. During the growth period of
, it is best to use fertilizers with a ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium of 1:1:1. During the flowering period, the amount of phosphorus and potassium can be increased. Before use, the fertilizer solution needs to be diluted and its pH adjusted to 5.8-6.2. Apply 1 to 2 times/day in summer. In other seasons, it is usually applied once every 3 days. Fertilization should be stopped in winter.
