Hanging orchid, the leaf color is fresh and green, the leaf shape is like orchid, fresh and elegant, it is a common family foliage flower that people like. In addition, it also has the unique effect of purifying indoor air, which brings greater benefits to people, which is one of the important reasons why people like to plant it indoors.

Hanging orchid, known as "flowers in the air", is indeed worthy of this name. The stolons extracted from the leaf axils are both rigid and soft, hanging outward from the basin, up to several feet long, and each stem tip is full of new plants, large and small, green like washing, swaying lightly with the wind. If the flowerpot is suspended under the beam, under the eaves, in front of the indoor window, by the door, or on the balcony or railing, it can be mirrored with other potted flowers. From afar, the dangling clump of new plants, very much like the wings of cranes, swinging with the possibility of resisting the wind based on emptiness, more wonderful.

Under normal circumstances, family potted orchids are often prone to dry leaf tips and gradual loss of luster of leaves. In order to maintain and manage the orchids, the following measures should be taken.

In terms of management, in order to achieve luxuriant stems and leaves, the soil and basin should be changed in March every year. If the basin is deeper and the base fertilizer is more sufficient, the basin can be changed once every two years. When turning the basin, knock the plant out of the basin, cut off the withered roots and excess roots, replace it with a new humus-rich culture soil, and then apply livestock hoof horns or rotten cake fertilizer as base fertilizer. After planting, put the seedlings in a warm and semi-overcast place. The optimum growth temperature of Cymbidium is about 25 ℃. After the plant returns to robust growth, hang the flowerpot under the eaves of the corridor or in an appropriate position in the room. The general height is not to meet, and should pay attention to ventilation.

The hanging orchid prefers the semi-overcast environment with proper light. Spring and autumn should avoid the strong direct sun, the summer sun is particularly strong, can only see some oblique light in the morning and evening, during the day need to cover 50% of the sun 70%, otherwise it will make the leaf tip dry, especially the flower and leaf varieties, more afraid of strong sunlight, Phnom Penh orchids grow more beautiful in places with weak light, yellow edges are more obvious, leaves are brighter. But it should be more sunny in winter in order to keep the leaves tender and fresh green. The family potted orchid should be placed in front of the south window, otherwise the leaves will lose their luster and even wither.

Proper amount of fertilization is a more fertilizer-tolerant foliage plant, if the lack of fertilizer and water, it is easy to scorch head aging, leaves yellowing, loss of ornamental value. From late spring to early autumn, organic fertilizer can be applied every 10 days, but less nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to Phnom Penh, Jinxin and other mosaic varieties, so as not to fade or even disappear. The retting organic manure such as bone meal and eggshell can be properly applied. After full fermentation, appropriate amount of diluent should be taken and poured once every 10 li for 15 days to make the flowers and leaves bright and bright.

Watering appropriate hanging orchids like the humid environment, always keep the basin soil moist, adequate watering in summer, and spray water on the branches and leaves around noon and in the evening to prevent the leaves from drying up. There is often much dust in the room, such as more dust on the orchid, which not only affects its growth, but also damages the freshness and freshness of the branches and leaves, so we should often spray and wash the branches and leaves to keep them bright and beautiful. Lower withered leaves, yellow leaves should be picked at any time, usually to maintain normal humidity, should not be dry, should not be too wet.
