Cymbidium has more developed fleshy roots, and there is a certain amount of water in the roots, so this kind of flower is more drought-tolerant. However, drought-tolerant flowers should not be seriously short of water, especially in the case of high temperature in summer and dry air, do not forget to water in time, otherwise, the roots and leaves of flowers will be damaged, resulting in the germination of new leaves, and the original leaves are estimated to be scorched, not only affect flowering, but even cause plant death. However, too much watering will rot the roots. Therefore, it is necessary to have a good grasp and always pay attention to the dry and wet condition of the basin soil. if it is semi-dry, it should be watered once, but the amount of water should not be much. It is just right to keep the basin soil moist and not damp.

So, how many days should it be watered? Under normal circumstances, it is watered once a day in spring; in summer, the leaf surface and the surrounding ground can be watered with a fine spray kettle, twice a day in sunny days, once every other day in autumn, once every other day in winter, and once a week or less in winter. But it must be noted that this refers to the "general situation". It must be mastered flexibly according to a variety of specific circumstances. For example, it should be watered more on sunny days, less on cloudy days, every few days on consecutive cloudy days, and not on rainy days. When the temperature is high and the air is dry, the flowerpot should be watered several times a day; if the flowerpot is large, it is not easy to dry because of the large amount of water in the soil, so it can be irrigated less; if the flowerpot is small and the water is easy to evaporate, it should be irrigated appropriately. Flowerpots are placed in places with good ventilation and easy evaporation, suitable for more watering, while less watering should be done in places with poor ventilation, slow evaporation and high air humidity. It can be irrigated less at seedling stage and more at flowering stage. In short, it depends on the specific situation, in order to ensure that the basin soil is soft, not too dry, too damp as the principle.

Of course, if there are conditions, magnetized water is the best, followed by Rain Water, snow water or running water in rivers, followed by water in ponds, and the worst is tap water. For flower growers living in big cities, only tap water is available, so you can use a small water tank or bucket to put tap water in it and water it again every 2 minutes and 3 days later. This can precipitate some harmful impurities in the water. In addition, the substances contained in the water can be oxidized and purified, and the temperature of the water can be close to the humidity of the basin soil, so that the plant will not be too cold or too hot.
