If the potted orchid wants to grow branches and stolons, it is best to maintain soil culture, keep the maintenance position ventilated and transparent, and keep the temperature above 10 degrees all the year round. Some people like to hang orchids in the air for maintenance, and the following methods can promote the continuous growth of stolons.

If the orchid wants to grow more stolons, you need a suitable conservation environment, preferably rough breeding, to avoid frequent care. If you often water the orchid, it is difficult for the orchid to grow a stolon. If you want the orchid to grow more stolons, you need to master the following points.

First point: control watering

Cymbidium has fleshy roots, if you pull up its roots, you can find that its roots are very large white swollen roots, which is full of water, which is why Cymbidium is so drought-resistant. If frequent watering can not promote the growth of stolons, but also lead to rotten roots and yellow leaves and other conditions.

During the maintenance period, we must wait for the basin soil to be completely dry before watering, and the watering should be controlled after the weather becomes cold in autumn and winter.

Second point: give more light

Although the orchid can grow well indoors, but if you want to promote the growth of more stolons, you need to add a little more light every day.

Growing on an east-facing or south-facing windowsill or balcony, giving scattered light for about 3 to 6 hours a day can not only promote the growth of more stolons, but also help promote flowering.

Although the orchid is also very shade-resistant, the leaves are easy to grow delicate in the shade, and it is even more difficult to promote branching.

The third point: maintain a warm environment all the year round

Cymbidium is a kind of plant that likes to be warm and humid all the year round. The best growing season for maintenance is in spring and summer, and the temperature is kept between 18 and 28 degrees.

The lowest curing temperature should be kept above 5 degrees, otherwise it is easy to cause frostbite. During daily maintenance, we should also pay attention to spray water around us regularly to maintain high air humidity. In spring and summer, we can supplement average fertilizer or slow-acting organic liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks.
