Cymbidium is suitable for growing in weakly acidic soil, so it can prepare basin soil specifically, add some mature organic fertilizer at the bottom of flowerpot, put on a layer of compost soil and some granular soil, and maintain soil fertility and air permeability.

2. Replenish enough water to the soil and leaves

The orchid can't stand the too dry environment, so when the plant is extremely dry, the first thing to do is to loosen the soil, then pour the water thoroughly, and then spray some water on the leaves of the orchid and place it in a sunny and ventilated place.

If too much watering causes softening of the leaves caused by rotten roots, it is necessary to remove the rotten roots first and change the pot if necessary.
