Post-flowering care of cymbidium

prune

After the large-flowered Cymbidium has bloomed and withered, be sure to cut off the flower stalks of the plant to avoid unnecessary loss of nutrients, which will have a negative impact on the plant's flowering again next year.

Moisture

After the large-flowered Cymbidium orchid blooms, remember not to water it too much. The so-called "no dryness in autumn and no wetness in winter" is the golden rule in growing orchids. Therefore, you can use the method of spraying water frequently to replenish water and avoid root rot caused by water accumulation.

illumination

Large-flowered Cymbidium particularly likes some scattered light. If the plant does not receive enough light, the leaves may turn yellow. So we have to place the flower pot on the sunny windowsill to ensure that the plant receives appropriate light.

temperature

Large-flowered Cymbidium prefers warmer temperatures, which cannot be lower than 8 degrees even in winter. If it is grown indoors, then in early spring, when the indoor heating is turned off, the plant may die due to low temperature. You can use plastic film to cover the flower pot to keep it warm and ensure the temperature is above 10 degrees.

Repotting

It is best to repot the flower when the temperature is relatively warm around the Qingming Festival. Choose a barrel flowerpot with good ventilation and use broken tiles to make a drainage layer inside. The soil needs to be disinfected before use. After changing it, do not water it too much, just a little will be enough.
