I. temperature

The suitable temperature for the growth of Cymbidium is 1525 ℃. When the summer temperature exceeds 30 ℃ for a long time, the growth is inhibited. At this time, if the air humidity is less than 60%, the leaves of Cymbidium will become shallow, yellowing and even wilting; if the humidity is higher than 90%, the stems and leaves will grow too much. In order to prevent the occurrence of these bad phenomena, we should reduce the temperature properly, pay attention to ventilation and light transmission, and control humidity. When the temperature dropped below SC, the growth of Cymbidium basically stopped. If the temperature drops to about OC, freezing injury may occur, which will make the leaf tip and leaf edge turn green and yellow, and even appear yellow-white necrotic spots, so we should do a good job of keeping warm in winter to prevent frost injury.

Second, lighting

Gentleman orchid is a semi-positive flower, sexual like scattered light, too strong light is disadvantageous to its growth, easy to cause sunburn disease. However, if the light is too dark and lack of light for a long time, the leaves will lose their luster, the old leaves will be dark green, and the new leaves will become thinner, yellow or yellowish green. Some people call this phenomenon of yellow leaves Yin yellow. At this time, the gentleman orchid should be moved to a place with slightly stronger light, and when it is not suitable to move, the light can be used to supplement the illumination.

III. Soil fertilizer

Gentleman orchid likes loose and fertile sandy loam, soil consolidation and insufficient supply of fertilizer will make the leaves yellow and affect flowering. At this time, we should increase the application of dilute liquid fertilizer and pay attention to loosening the soil.

4. Moisture

The gentleman orchid likes to be moist, the basin soil is too dry for a long time, and when the temperature is high, it is easy to make the leaves yellow. However, too much watering for a long time can easily lead to diseases. Therefore, in the cultivation of Cymbidium, the soil should be kept moist in spring and autumn, slightly dry in dormancy in winter, and the basin soil should not be overheated in summer. the foliage and surrounding ground can be sprayed with fresh water every morning or evening to keep the cool environment.

5. Ventilation

Cymbidium is placed too densely and the surrounding environment is closed, which hinders air circulation and makes the plant thin and yellow. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen indoor ventilation to avoid crowding.
