Cultivation methods and precautions of Suxinlan

Choice of flower pots

If you want to take good care of the cymbidium, the flowerpot is also very important. Try to choose a deeper and flared sand pot, which can not only increase its ornamental value but also enhance its air permeability.

Temperature requirements

It can grow normally between 15 and 25 degrees, but if the temperature can be maintained between 18 and 22 degrees, it will reach its best growth state. If the temperature rises above 30 degrees, its growth rate will be very slow; when the temperature drops to 2 degrees, severe frostbite will occur. Therefore, the summer should be below 30 degrees and the winter should be above 5 degrees.

Lighting requirements

It does not have high requirements for sunlight, but this does not mean that it can be kept in a place without sunlight all the time. It can be placed in the sun in the morning and afternoon every day, but in summer and early autumn it is best to only expose it to the sun in the morning and evening. Too strong light will damage the leaves of the plant; in winter it can be kept in the sun all day.

Water requirements

It does not require much water, but the quality of water should be strict. Try to use pollution-free water when watering, or expose the water to the sun for a period of time before use. Watering in summer can be based on the condition of the potting soil. If the upper layer of the potting soil is a little dry, water it immediately and water it enough at one time; at other times, wait until the upper layer of the potting soil is completely dry before watering. The most taboo is to water half of the potting soil and not water it halfway, as this will cause the soil to clump, and excessive growth will directly harm the plants.

Nutrient requirements

This plant requires a lot of fertilizer to maintain normal growth. Therefore, fertilizer should be applied once or twice a month, and foliar fertilizer should also be applied.
