It takes several months for Cymbidium hybridum to germinate and bloom. In family orchid cultivation, the flowerpot should be rotated frequently to keep the orchid plants evenly exposed to light, so as to avoid affecting the ornamental value because the leaves and scape grow to one side. During the flowering period, orchid plants should be moved to a slightly shady place where scattered light can be seen, or to a window sill where sunlight can be seen indoors, so as to avoid strong light burning flowers, causing flowers to wither, distort colors and have short life.

2. Clever control of dryness and wetness

Cymbidium hybridum is very sensitive to the dry-wet reaction of the medium from bud pregnancy to flowering. If it is too dry, the fleshy roots will shrink, the flower branches will not grow normally, and the flowers will not open normally. However, if you water too much or let the rain invade, the roots of orchids will rot due to water stains and lack of oxygen, and various diseases will take advantage of it, leading to the suspension of flower branch development and the withering of flower buds. Therefore, the water supply during this period is based on the degree of wetness and the specific situation of the substrate, and half of the water is usually given. In case of high temperature, dryness, strong wind and other special weather, environmental conditions can be improved by spraying to ensure smooth and clean leaves, but water cannot be sprayed directly on petals.

Step 3 supplement nutrition

Cymbidium needs to consume a lot of nutrients, especially phosphorus, potassium and other elements related to flowering, which should be replenished in time according to different stages. Usually, from flower bud differentiation to flowering, 1. 1% ~ 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution can be sprayed every month.

4. Take good care of it

First of all, we should pay attention to prevent freezing injury. Most species of cymbidium bloom in winter and spring and are vulnerable to cold north wind and frost. Take precautions before they happen, give necessary shelter from the wind (northwest wind) and cold, or move indoors to ensure normal flowering. Second, we must adjust the flower posture in time. Cymbidium has large inflorescences and many flowers. If the scape is not straight, it should be tied straight in time, or it can be shaped with light. Third, we must guard against accidental injuries. Including preventing tall flowers from being broken by the wind, man-made bumps and small animals from being injured. When necessary, fungicides and pesticides can be sprayed 1 times in the extension period and budding period, respectively, to prevent the invasion of germs and pests.

Step 5 arrange flowers at the right time

Cymbidium needs to consume a lot of nutrients from heading to flowering. If fertilization is mature, it will consume more nutrients. Therefore, family members should try to avoid the long flowering time, trim the residual flowers and buds in time and reduce unnecessary nutrition consumption. At the same time, in order to promote them to shoot new buds as soon as possible, when the flowers are in full bloom, they can be cut off from the base of the flower buds and cultured in water, which is very beneficial to the growth and flowering of the plants in the next year.
