Don't worry, one minute will teach you the correct management of water and fertilizer, so that your hanging orchids can be as beautiful as satin.

Soil selection

It is suitable to choose loose and breathable soil for maintenance. Before planting, we had better add a layer of breathable matrix at the bottom of the basin, such as coarse sand, charcoal, pine needle, ceramsite, etc., or choose pine branch soil directly, so that the basin soil can have good drainage and facilitate the breathing and growth of the rhizome of Cymbidium.

Environment selection

Cymbidium likes the semi-overcast environment, although the light intensity in autumn is weakened, but it is not suitable for all-day illumination, it should be suitable for scattered light, such as Phnom Penh, it can grow well only in places with weak light, and the leaves are more beautiful.

The orchid can shine all day in winter, which can promote the photosynthesis of the leaves and keep the leaves green and bright.

Change basin selection

Now this time can change the basin for the hanging orchid, because the growth rate of the root system of the hanging orchid is very fast, so according to the growth situation, we have to change the basin in about two years.

When changing the basin, remove the diseased and rotten roots, and give some pruning to the entangled roots to keep the roots absorbing nutrients and growing normally.

Watering choice

The pot soil should be often wet for growth and watering. Also often spray water to the leaves, first, to wash off the dust on the leaves, and second, to keep the leaves moist and prevent them from drying up. During the slow growth period, it is necessary to reduce watering and keep the basin soil slightly dry, otherwise it will cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Fertilizer selection

If you want to make the orchid grow bigger and bigger, fat and water is essential. Nitrogen fertilizer can help leaves and branches grow, while potassium fertilizer can make the plants of Cymbidium stronger and make it sprout and grow more stems and leaves. Fertilization should be based on the principle of "frequent application of thin fertilizer", especially in the growing period.

Now this period of time is also the best time for plant propagation of Cymbidium. We can take the clustered stems and leaves of Cymbidium and cut them directly in the basin for maintenance. When cutting, we should pay attention not to bury them too deep, otherwise it will cause a rotten heart. Flower friends who want to plant more pots of Cymbidium can quickly cut them now.
