Management of the flowering period of large-flowered cymbidium (how long is the flowering period, can fertilizer be applied during flowering)

1. How long is the flowering period of cymbidium?

Its flowering period is relatively long, normally lasting from October in autumn every year to April of the following year. Some people also use special methods to regulate its flowering period to make the flowering period longer. In addition, because the flowering period is relatively long, it consumes more nutrients and water, so you need to pay attention to the management methods so that it can bloom normally.

1. Light: More light is needed during the flowering period than usual, so the light should be increased appropriately. If the temperature is low, place it in direct sunlight and expose it to direct sunlight every day. If the temperature is high, place it in diffused light and get more diffused light to avoid sunburn.

2. Temperature: It likes a warm environment and is not cold-resistant or high-temperature resistant, especially during flowering. It should be provided with a temperature environment between 10 degrees and 20 degrees. If the temperature is low, move it indoors to control the temperature. If the temperature is high, ventilate and cool it down.

3. Watering: During the flowering period, water should be controlled appropriately and the number of watering should be reduced. Normally, water the flowers when the soil in the pot is dry. Usually, watering once a week is enough. If the soil is too wet, the flowers will easily develop spots or even fall off.

3. Can I fertilize Cymbidium when it is blooming?

Its flowering period is relatively long and it consumes a lot of nutrients, so you should fertilize it frequently to provide it with enough nutrients. And before flowering, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote better flowering and brighter colors. But be careful to stop fertilizing during flowering. The nutrients applied during the flowering period can meet the flowering needs. Continuing to fertilize will easily cause fertilizer damage and cause flowers to fall.
