Matters needing attention in changing pots and soil of Cymbidium

The method and process of soil exchange of Cymbidium are very simple, in order to be more safe, say some points for attention in soil exchange, respectively from several aspects, such as the time of soil exchange, the choice of basin size, the treatment of roots and so on.

Time to change soil:

Generally speaking, the orchid has to change the basin once a year, which is more conducive to the growth of the orchid, but it does not mean that it can be changed at any time. The soil change had better be carried out in spring and autumn, because at this time the temperature is suitable and the orchid grows vigorously. It will not affect the growth because of the change of soil.

According to the actual situation of this area, Hua you can turn the pot and change soil from March to April or from August to September, when the weather is warm and cool (pay attention to the difference between the north and the south, the south is appropriately delayed), and the temperature is moderate, which is the second exuberant growth period of Cymbidium. According to the growth of the plant, the grower can turn the pot in autumn in the middle of August.

Try to avoid changing soil during flowering:

It should be noted that after archery, or in the bud flowering period, it is best not to change the soil, because the plant needs more nutrients at this stage, and the implementation of the soil exchange operation will affect the continuous supply of nutrients. However, if rotten roots or yellow leaves have to be changed due to poor soil quality, care should be taken not to break up the tuo and minimize the loss caused by the change of soil.

Avoid root injuries:

When the gentleman orchid takes the soil mass out, be careful not to break the soil mass, so as not to damage the root system, peel off the soil gently, and remove the aging and rotten fleshy root at the same time (but there is no rotten fleshy root, no matter how long it can be cut off, because these fleshy roots and tips have a lot of root hairs, which can not only absorb water and nutrients, but also secrete a variety of acids, dissolve insoluble nutrients in the soil, and expand absorption. If it is cut off, although the plant will not die, but it will certainly affect the growth.

Take the basin:

After changing the soil, the orchid should be placed in the shade for about 10 days to slow down the water evaporation and gradually restore its vitality. After 10 days, the light can be gradually increased.

The bigger the basin, the better:

Prepare a suitable special basin according to the size of the orchid (especially the number of roots) and avoid using large pots to grow small orchids.
