How to grow cymbidium

How to grow cymbidium

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: It is best to use loose, humus-rich acidic soil for growing cymbidium. It can be prepared by mixing leaf mold and sand and mud.

2. Light: It should be exposed to appropriate light and shaded in summer. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight. If it is kept in a dark place for a long time, it will cause poor growth.

3. Temperature: Give it a growing environment of 16-28℃. It can grow better at a suitable temperature. It likes a warm growing environment, so the temperature should not be too low.

4. Fertilization: The fertilizer requirements of the cymbidium are not high. It is sufficient to apply thin liquid fertilizer once in spring and autumn. Stop fertilizing after it enters the dormant period.

2. Breeding Methods

Propagation by division: It is usually carried out during its dormant period, dividing it into clusters of 2-3 pseudobulbs. After division, the rotten roots and diseased branches and leaves should be cut off, and the roots should be disinfected. After drying, they can be planted individually in loose soil.

3. Common pests and diseases

The cymbidium is very prone to sunscald. Spots will appear on the leaves after the disease occurs, and in severe cases the leaves will dry up. It is necessary to avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight and provide shade in a timely manner.
