As long as you do this, a little tree can grow into a big family.

Cymbidium has a very strong reproductive ability, is a kind of plant that is very easy to explode, and has no high requirements for the planting environment, so it is one of the easiest plants for flower lovers, especially novices or lazy people. Especially if you put one or two pots of hanging orchids in the study, the flavor of the scholarly family will be even thicker.

As long as the orchid grows a little big, it begins to grow a long drooping stem, that is, a stolon, and on this stolon, a small tree will grow at a short distance, and after a while, these young will also grow roots. At this time, the small orchid can be cut.

The small orchid can be broken off from the stolon, be careful not to break or hurt the root system, or cut it off with scissors together with the 3-5 cm stolon next to the small orchid (not recommended). The flowerpot of the orchid should choose a deeper flowerpot, so that the root system has more space to grow, and the diameter of the flowerpot should be slightly larger, because the flowerpot grows very fast.

Based on the principle of fertile and ventilated soil, humus and peat can be simply used in the proportion of 6:4. You can also put a layer of organic fertilizer at the bottom of the soil, which can provide more nutrition to the plant when the root system grows. To keep the soil moist, it can be watered twice in the morning and evening in summer, once every 1-3 days according to the dry weather in spring and autumn, and 4-7 watering in winter.

If you want the small orchid to grow up quickly and burst the pot quickly, the supply of fertilizer is essential. The layer of organic fertilizer at the bottom of the soil is only used as a supplementary fertilizer when the root system grows to the bottom, and it is still necessary to apply fertilizer frequently. When you just transplant a new basin, you should not apply fertilizer immediately, just keep enough water.

Do not start fertilizing until a month after transplanting. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer or organic fertilizer can be applied, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied in the early stage to promote the growth of the root system, and then some more nitrogen fertilizer can be added to promote leaf germination. Lazy people can buy already prepared nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer, and the proportion of the three can be balanced. No fertilizer is needed in winter.

In the first half of the transplant, it is not appropriate to let the sun shine directly on the small orchid, put it in a ventilated and cool place for maintenance, wait for the plant to take the pot, slowly let it accept more sunlight, the process is best to have a gradual process, but can not be exposed. The maintenance in the indoor place where scattered light can be accepted is most beneficial to the growth of the orchid.
