How to cultivate spider orchid and matters needing attention

Cymbidium is a perennial evergreen herb, which is widely distributed in China. Has a high ornamental value, but also can purify the air. And the whole plant can be used as medicine, with expectorant cough, detumescence and detoxification and other effects. It is welcomed by many people in our country, so how to raise the hanging orchid? The following editor brings you the breeding methods and matters needing attention of hanging orchids, let's have a look!

1. Soil selection

The roots of Cymbidium plants are very large and widely distributed, and some of them are spindle-shaped. Therefore, the requirements of hanging orchid on the soil is relatively strict, first of all, to ensure that the soil has a good permeability, adequate fertility, and normal drainage and irrigation. Then the acidity and alkalinity of the soil should be slightly acid. if you prepare it yourself, you can buy seedling culture soil on the market, and then add the right amount of peat. If the pot is used, then the choice of the flowerpot is also very important, but also to ensure that the flowerpot has good permeability and quality.

2. Methods of reproduction

There are many propagation methods of Cymbidium, among which the commonly used one is cutting. Cuttings can be carried out in all seasons except winter. When cutting, the clustered stems and leaves were cut directly from the creeping business of Cymbidium. Then it can be inserted directly into the matrix and watered properly after insertion. Should pay attention to the cutting depth, should not be too deep, otherwise it is easy to appear the phenomenon of bad heart. Or it is also the use of ramet propagation, when the split will be cut open the old root of the orchid, each root to retain about three stems. Then, like cuttings, you can plant it directly into a flowerpot.

3. Water and fertilizer management

The moisture resistance of Cymbidium is relatively poor, very afraid of waterlogging, but there is also a certain demand for water. If the management is not good, then the hanging orchid is very easy to appear dry tip withered leaves and other bad phenomena. Therefore, when we breed the orchid, we should ensure that the soil is slightly moist and not too dry and wet, otherwise it will have a great impact on the growth of the orchid. Then more fertilizer can be applied, and attention should be paid to topdressing base fertilizer once a year, mainly compound fertilizer. However, we should be careful not to let the root system touch the fertilizer directly to prevent the occurrence of fertilizer damage and root burning, resulting in the death of the orchid.

4. Points for attention

When we culture Cymbidium, we should pay attention to observe the growth of Cymbidium, remove some yellow leaves at the bottom of the plant in time, and improve the ornamental value of Cymbidium. Then to control the temperature, the suitable growth temperature of the orchid is generally about 20 degrees. Do not exceed the temperature range of 10-30 degrees, beyond the range, it will have a great impact on the growth of the orchid. Finally, the light control, in summer and other strong light season, to avoid direct sunlight hanging orchid leaves, resulting in leaf burns.

The above is a brief introduction of the methods and matters needing attention in plant culture of Cymbidium. In fact, the cultivation of Cymbidium is relatively simple, as long as do a good job in temperature, light and other aspects of the work can be raised very well, but also can not be extensive management. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can be helpful to all of you.
