Ecological habits of Cymbidium grandiflorum

Originated in southern Africa, gardens and family cultivation are very common, especially in the northeast, which has become a popular flower.

The gentleman orchid likes the warm and cool environment, is not cold-resistant, avoids high temperature and extreme heat, and the suitable temperature for growth is 20C~25C. When the room temperature is lower than 5C in winter, the growth will be inhibited. If you are afraid of sun exposure, you like half a shade. When the summer temperature is high, the magnolia is in a semi-dormant state. Strict requirements for soil, ventilation and permeability is the key, otherwise fleshy fibrous roots are easy to rot, it is better to loose and humus-rich soil, especially peat is the best, avoid salt and alkali. In the process of cultivation, we should pay attention to the control of water, in the dry season, we should often spray water, so as not to dry the air and make the leaf edge dry. Watering to the right amount, stagnant water is easy to rot roots, resulting in death.

Light is closely related to the growth and development of Cymbidium. Cymbidium is a medium-light plant, afraid of sunlight exposure, like semi-shade, the growth process does not need strong light, especially in summer, avoid direct sunlight. Strong light can shorten the flowering period and affect the ornamental value, while weak light can prolong the flowering period. The light is shortened in winter, and the florescence can be earlier.
