1. Growth environment

Cymbidium generally grows in a warm and humid environment. It is not cold-resistant or heat-resistant, the growth environment needs to have a certain amount of light, but there is a fear of strong light. The soil of the planting land should be fertile and loose, at the same time, the drainage and permeability of the planting land should be good, and the soil had better be sandy loam, but it is not suitable for sand, which will affect the water storage and permeability of the soil and lead to the consolidation of the land. thus affecting the growth of the orchid.

2. Scientific planting

The cultivation of Cymbidium is very fastidious. At present, the most commonly used planting method used by farmers can be said to be the way of cutting, followed by split planting and seed sowing are also two more practical planting methods. Cutting planting is generally suitable for spring and autumn, while ramet planting can be planted all the year round, and seed planting is generally carried out around March every year. Whether it is seed sowing or individual plant propagation or cutting propagation, it is necessary to arrange the density reasonably when planting.

3. Late maintenance

Generally, about a week to two weeks after planting, the basic hanging orchids have survived, and then they can be transplanted. Farmers usually buy a lot of small pots for transplanting, planting about three to four plants in each pot. Watering and fertilization should be carried out in time after planting. Especially during the period from March to September, the amount of water needed is very large. In general, it is necessary to water once a day in spring, but once in the morning and evening in summer, as little as possible in autumn and winter, preferably once every five or six days. The orchid needs a lot of nutrients, but we have to maintain the soil fertility when breeding. If the leaves of the orchid turn yellow, it is lack of nutrients and need to be fertilized in time. Pay attention to fertilization should not be excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer. In normal times, florists will trim off the yellowing or aging leaves under the orchid, which can promote the growth of new leaves.

4. Disease and pest control

The disease resistance of Cymbidium is still relatively strong, and there are few diseases. Among them, the most common is the yellowing of the leaves or root rot, which is generally caused by malnutrition, as long as the fertilization is reasonable, while the root rot is caused by too much water. it is necessary to control the number of watering and the amount of watering. The most common pests are shell insects, whitefly, aphids and mites, which can be sprayed with deltamethrin, carbendazim, omethoate and diclofenac respectively.
