The clustered stems and leaves on the stolon of Cymbidium can also be cut and planted in a flowerpot directly.

How to raise hanging orchids?
1. Lighting: hanging orchid likes semi-shady environment and is very sensitive to light. When the sun shines directly in summer and autumn, the leaves will wither and yellow, and even the whole plant will die. In winter, because the sun is not strong, we can let the orchid accept some direct sunlight properly.
2. Temperature: hanging orchid likes warm and humid climate, can not tolerate severe cold and heat, the optimum growth temperature is 15: 25 ℃, and the room temperature in winter should not be lower than 5 ℃. Avoid strong light in high temperature, but see more sunshine in low temperature and cold.

If there is not enough fertilizer and water, it is easy for the scorched head to grow old, and the leaves turn yellow and lose its ornamental value. For those who have begun to grow small plants, nitrogen fertilizer is applied once every half a month, and those with good growth are not allowed to apply nitrogen fertilizer.

The dense plant clusters are poorly ventilated and are vulnerable to scale insects, so prevention should be given priority to.
8. Pruning: the orchid should cut off the yellow leaves at any time and turn the basin once a year in March to cut off the old root, rotten root and excess fibrous root.
