Tiger orchid is a perennial evergreen herb of the genus Amaryllidaceae, which is native to Southern Post in Africa. Broad leaves 20-30 cm tall, rhizome shortened or oblate, articulate. Leaves drawn from base, opposite, spreading, broad, usually 4-6 neatly arranged.

Tiger orchid likes a sunny, warm, moist and well-ventilated environment. It is drought-tolerant, not cold-resistant, and the suitable temperature for growth is 1525 ℃. It requires slightly acidic loam with good drainage.

The substrate for the cultivation of Cymbidium can be made from a mixture of peat, rotten leaf soil and river sand. During the growing season, apply rotten cake fertilizer once a month, and then supplement phosphate fertilizer appropriately. The pots and ramets can be changed again after winter dormancy. In cold areas, it is necessary to move to the greenhouse for maintenance and ensure that the lowest temperature is 5 ℃, otherwise it is vulnerable to freezing damage.

Cymbidium is mainly propagated by separate plants and cuttings. Ramet can be carried out all the year round, but it is best in spring and autumn, which can be combined with changing pots. First of all, shake off the basin soil, and then use a sharp knife to cut the sprouting daughter plant from the part of the mother plant. Then put on the basin and place it in a semi-shady environment. The cuttage method has the advantages of fast propagation and high survival rate, so it is a good method to breed Cymbidium. The specific methods are as follows: from April to August, the sturdy and thick leaves are selected and cut into 10 cm segments, and 1 stroke 3 is inserted into the pure river sand. After 2-3 months, several buds can germinate, and when the small buds grow to 3 true leaves, they can be planted in the pot.
