The orchid can not only be used for viewing, but also can absorb indoor dirty gas.

In the cold winter, we always want to be green at home or in the office. Hanging orchid is very suitable for indoor breeding of green plants, put in the office or home is very conducive to fresh air. Let's take a look at how to maintain the hanging orchid.

Maintenance method of hanging orchid in winter: move it indoors and water it every four days, watering thoroughly, preferably at noon, when the water temperature is the same as the air temperature. This can prevent the roots from freezing, and the leaves should be cleaned frequently when placed indoors. It is advisable to keep the basin soil slightly moist in winter. When the room temperature is kept at 15-20 ℃, the orchid can grow normally.

Light

Hanging orchids like semi-overcast environment, spring and autumn should avoid strong direct sunlight, 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's 70%, otherwise it will make leaf tips dry, especially 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. When conditions permit, it is best to rotate the flowerpot to a fixed direction about 15 °a week to ensure that the drooping degree of the orchid is the same.

Watering

The hanging orchid likes the wet environment, and the basin soil is easy to keep wet. Summer watering should be adequate, around noon and evening should also spray water on the branches and leaves, timely cleaning the dust on the leaves to prevent the leaves from drying up. However, the fleshy roots of Cymbidium can store a lot of water, so they have a strong ability to resist drought and will not dry to death if they are not watered for several days. Under 5 ℃ in winter, less watering, basin soil should not be too wet, otherwise the leaves will be easy to yellowing.

Fertilizer application

Cymbidium 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 7-10 days, but less nitrogen fertilizer should be applied to Phnom Penh, Jinxin and other mosaic varieties, lest the color of flowers and leaves fade or even disappear. The retting organic fertilizer such as bone powder and eggshell can be applied properly. after full fermentation, take appropriate amount of diluent and irrigate every 10-15 days to make the flowers and leaves bright and bright.

Liquid fertilizer is applied every two weeks during the growing season. Mosaic varieties should apply less nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the white or yellow markings on the leaves will become inobvious and stop fertilization when the ambient temperature is below 4 ℃.

Pruning

Usually cut off the yellow leaves at any time. The basin can be turned once a year in March to cut off the old root, rotten root and excess fibrous root. Cutting off some of the old leaves of Cymbidium in the first and middle of May will promote the germination of more new leaves and small orchids. The root system of Cymbidium is quite well developed, and the flowerpot should be changed in time after breeding for a period of time, so as to avoid root accumulation, resulting in yellow leaves, wilting and other phenomena.

The orchid is not only for viewing, but also can absorb indoor harmful gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, playing the role of air screening program. I hope everyone can grow a healthy and good plant.
