[Cymbidium grandiflora] Culture of Cymbidium and matters needing attention

Cymbidium is the most common species of Cymbidium in the world. The stem of Cymbidium is tall and straight, and the flowers are huge. Next, let's take a look at the breeding and precautions of Cymbidium.

The methods of going up and changing pots for Cymbidium culture

As a rule, when the plant is too large, the pot should be changed or the ramet should be put on the pot to promote growth and flowering. Upper basin or change basin should be carried out after flowering or when the new buds are just sprouting in early spring. The method of changing the basin: pour the plant out of the old basin, cut off the rotten roots and yellow leaves, and remove the old matrix; put a layer of broken tiles or bricks at the bottom of the new urn to facilitate drainage and ventilation; put the plant in the basin, fill it with the new substrate, compact it with your hands and pour water through it.

Watering method of Cymbidium Culture

Cymbidium is a kind of flower that needs more water, especially in summer, it not only needs sufficient water, but also needs to spray water to the leaves to cool down and increase humidity. The inflated pseudobulb of Cymbidium has the function of water storage, so it has a certain degree of drought tolerance. But if it is not watered enough, the inflated pseudobulbs will shrink and affect normal growth. In addition, watering should be reduced during flowering, otherwise the flowers will appear brown spots.

Temperature requirements for Cymbidium Culture

Cymbidium prefers warm, cool, humid and semi-overcast environmental conditions. The suitable temperature for growth is 15-25 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 10 ℃ or higher than 35 ℃, it is better to go dormant, and the overwintering temperature should be no less than 10 ℃. The flower bud differentiation of most varieties can be carried out smoothly when the temperature difference between day and night is less than 10-15 ℃.

Matters needing attention in the Culture of Cymbidium

1. Propagation: the method of ramet reproduction is often used, and the time of dividing plant is longer than that after flowering, and before the new bud grows, it is carried out during this short dormant period. It should be properly dried before ramet and operated when the roots are slightly whitish and soft. Those with strong growth usually split once in 2-3 years, and each clump of orchid seedlings should have 2-3 pseudobulbs, one of which must be newly formed in the previous year.

2. Temperature: it likes strong light, and the suitable temperature for growth is 10 ℃-25 ℃. It should be cultured in a greenhouse with low temperature in winter.

3, humidity: it likes to be wet very much, but it should pay attention to ventilation, otherwise it is easy to get anthracnose, the humidity of small seedlings should be 80%, and the humidity of medium and large seedlings should be 60% to 85%.

4. Fertilization: the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is 1:1:1 in the growing period, 1:2:2 to 3 in the flowering stage, and the pH value of the fertilizer solution is 5.86.2.

5. Watering: sprinkler irrigation is usually used in production, once a day in May and September, twice a day from July to August, and every 2 to 3 days from October to April of the following year. The watering times should be adjusted at any time according to the size of seedlings and weather conditions.
