A wonderful recipe for summer cultivation of orchids to give you a pot of perfect orchids.

Summer is a difficult stage for Magnolia. The high temperature and strong sunshine in summer have a great impact on the living habits of Magnolia. So, how should we maintain Cymbidium in summer?

1. Watering

The root system of Cymbidium is stout and has the function of storing water. Pay attention to the moisture of the flower soil, not too dry or too wet. The suitable growth temperature of Cymbidium does not exceed 30 degrees, and the temperature exceeds 30 degrees for several consecutive days when it enters the dormancy period. At this time, when the temperature is high, the moisture of the flower soil evaporates quickly, so we should pay attention to avoid the flower soil being too dry. Once the flower soil is completely dry, it needs to be changed for the magnolia, because the flower soil is too dry and loses its ability to absorb water. Under the condition of high temperature, the risk of changing soil for Magnolia is relatively high, and it is easy to damage the flower root and cause infection and rot. The water temperature of watering the orchid had better be the same as the room temperature, and the temperature difference had better not exceed 5 degrees. If the water temperature is too cold, it is easy to lose the ability to absorb water from the "cold" of the flower root; too high water temperature will hurt the flower root.

It is best not to spray water to the plant in summer, the water droplets stay on the leaves to form a convex lens after sunlight exposure is very easy to burn leaves. The flow of water into the leaf core can also easily cause stagnant water in the leaf core and rot the core. No one wants to see the result of wiping the head of the plant.

2. Fertilizing

In summer, Magnolia is basically in a dormant state, and the root absorption capacity is very poor. At this time, the utilization rate of fertilizer is very low, resulting in waste, if the water permeability of flower soil is not good, it is easy to cause rotten roots. I suggest stopping the fattening.

3. Shading

The sun is strong and shines for a long time in summer. Leaves directly exposed to the sun is easy to cause sunburn, so that the ornamental value is greatly reduced. Shading measures should be taken to ensure that the light transmittance does not exceed 75%.

4. Ventilation

Ventilation helps to prevent diseases and insect pests, but the air humidity (environmental humidity) is relatively large, which can easily lead to excessive growth of Cymbidium leaves (leaves become thin, long, thin, soft). Also prone to soft rot, fever and so on. Indoor ventilation helps to reduce indoor temperature and air humidity. If the ventilation condition of the cultivation environment is not good, 5/1000 concentration of topiramate solution can be used to spray the plant and the surrounding environment to prevent the occurrence of diseases.

The above are some common problems of gentleman orchid. Not only the vast majority of flowers have problems in summer and autumn, magnolia has strong resistance to adversity and good drought resistance, but in order to give you beautiful flowers in winter, you should try your best to ensure its health in summer.
