How to deal with the stem of Cymbidium after flowering

The flowers of the orchid are bright and beautiful, so we can cut off the stem of the orchid, disinfect the cut of the orchid, give it enough sunshine, water the orchid appropriately, stop fertilizing to prevent the cut from rotting, and keep the stem of the orchid and collect the seeds of the orchid.

1. Proper pruning

The stem of Cymbidium after flowering will absorb a lot of nutrients in the soil. We can cut off the stem of Cymbidium, preferably pruning near the base, so as to reduce the absorption of soil nutrients and promote the beautiful orchid to continue to bloom in the coming year.

2. Disinfection treatment when the orchid is trimmed, its cut mouth is easily infected by bacteria, making the orchid suffer from disease, so it is necessary to disinfect the cut mouth of the orchid in time, and apply gibberellin or charcoal powder at the cut to disinfect it.

3. Plenty of sunshine

In addition to the need for cut disinfection, Cymbidium also needs to be carefully cultured in sufficient sunlight. With the help of the sun, it can make the stem wound heal quickly, prevent diseases and insect pests, and benefit the growth of Cymbidium. Increase the ornamental value of Cymbidium.

4. Properly watered Cymbidium likes to grow in moist soil. After flowering and pruning, it is necessary to water the orchid appropriately to ensure that the soil provides moisture to the orchid in time, but it is not suitable to water too much. It is easy to make the stem wound fester and may wither and die.

5. Stop fertilization

Cymbidium has a great demand for nutrients, but do not fertilize the orchid after flowering and pruning, it is easy to make the cut infected by bacteria, lead to wound decay, affect the natural growth of Cymbidium, and reduce the ornamental value of Cymbidium.

6. collecting seeds can blossom all the year round, but the flowering period is mainly in spring and autumn. whenever the orchid blossoms, we can also keep the stem of the orchid, collect the seeds, put the seeds in a cool and ventilated place for 10 to 15 days, and then peel and plant them in the soil.
