How to care for newly bought Cymbidium

1. Lighting

Cymbidium orchids like light. After you bring them home, you should place them in an environment with scattered light to allow them to receive a certain amount of sunlight, but avoid strong light because they are very fragile and easily sunburned. After adapting to the new environment, gradually increase the light exposure time.

2. Temperature

When you first buy Cymbidium, in order to allow it to better adapt to the new environment, it is best to control the temperature between 20-25℃. After a period of time, it will adapt to the environment and resume growth.

3. Watering

Since it has just arrived in the new environment, Cymbidium is relatively fragile and does not require much water. There is no need to add too much water to it. Excessive watering can easily lead to root waterlogging. It only needs to be watered once every 4-5 days.

4. Fertilization

Do not apply too much fertilizer during the period just after purchase, because Cymbidium has not yet adapted to the new environment and has poor ability to absorb fertilizer. If the fertilizer cannot be fully absorbed, it will easily burn the roots. After the plants have adapted to the new environment, you can apply fertilizer normally.
