What to do if the buds and flower buds of Cymbidium orchids dry up? How to maintain them during the bud period

1. Increase lighting

The drying of its flower buds is most likely caused by lack of light. When flower buds grow, it is necessary to increase the light. Without light, the flower buds cannot differentiate well and will slowly dry up and fall off. The specific lighting time depends on the temperature. If the temperature is below 25 degrees, you should get four hours of sun exposure every day. If the temperature is above 25 degrees, place it in diffuse light and expose it to more diffuse light.

2. Increase humidity

It likes an environment with high humidity. If the environment is too dry after the flower buds grow, it will grow slowly, the leaves will become dull, and the flower buds will dry up. Especially in autumn, the temperature will gradually drop, and you should spray water around the plants frequently to increase the humidity. Be careful not to overspray water. Stop when the leaves are wet. Once or twice a day is enough.

3. Fertilize frequently

It likes fertilizer, and the differentiation of flower buds consumes more nutrients. It is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient nutrients, otherwise the flower buds will easily dry up and fall off. Usually, you can apply thin fertilizer frequently and do supplementary fertilizer treatment. After the flower buds appear, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added, about once every ten days, so that the flower buds can differentiate faster, and the flowers will be fuller and last longer in the later stage.

4. Increase the temperature difference

If you want it to bloom better and the flower buds to differentiate better, you should also pay attention to the temperature difference. The temperature difference must be maintained at more than ten degrees to promote the growth of flower buds and better flowering. If the temperature environment is not suitable, too high or too low, the flower buds will easily fall off.
