1. How long does it take for Cymbidium to take root after being potted?

How long it takes for Cymbidium to take root depends on the time and method of repotting. Usually the plant is repotted in March or April in spring. If the climate is suitable, the plant can resume growth as soon as possible after being potted. It usually takes 20 days to a month to adapt to the pot, slowly grow new roots and resume growth. If it is done at other times, the acclimatization time may be longer.

2. Methods of repotting Cymbidium

1. Control the amount of water: If you want to repot the plant, you must control the water in advance to avoid the plant and the pot sticking when removing the pot, which will damage the root system. Proper water control makes it easier to remove the plant from the pot and reduces root damage.

2. Root pruning: After removing the plant from the pot, you need to trim the roots first, cut off any unhealthy roots, then disinfect and soak them, place them in a cool place to dry the wounds, and then plant them in pots.

3. Prepare the potting soil: The soil should be well-drained, loose and breathable. The flowerpot should be larger than the previous one, so that the plant will have more growing space and it will be more conducive to growth.

4. Planting in pots: When planting in pots, first spread a layer of coarse planting material on the bottom to increase water permeability and air permeability. Then carefully place the plants and slowly fill in the soil. After filling the soil, compact it carefully and water it thoroughly in time. Place it in a hidden place. After about a week, move it to a place with scattered light and slowly increase the light.
