Can a seedling of Cymbidium orchid survive? Should I plant it shallowly or deeply?

1. Can a single seedling of Cymbidium orchid survive?

A single seedling of Cymbidium can be grown alive, but attention must be paid to the planting method. Only if the method is correct and the environment provided later is suitable can it survive. When planting, the soil should be loose, breathable, fertile and have good drainage. After planting, water it thoroughly in time and place it in a hidden and ventilated place. After a week, slowly increase the light and resume management. This way, it will survive and grow new roots.

2. Should I plant a cymbidium orchid shallowly or deeply?

When planting a seedling of Cymbidium, it is best to plant it a little deeper, so that the rhizome part is completely buried in the soil. If the depth is too shallow, the plants will absorb less nutrients, which will reduce the survival rate and hinder later growth.

3. Precautions after planting Cymbidium

Cymbidium likes a humid environment and needs to be watered frequently. But be careful about the amount of water you water each time, it must not be too much. If the soil is wet for a long time, it is easy for water to accumulate and cause root rot, and may even cause the death of the plant, so the amount of water should not be too large. Also note that no fertilizer should be applied after planting. Generally, the nutrients contained in the soil can meet the growth needs and ensure its normal growth. Fertilization will instead cause fertilizer damage and hinder growth. Generally, wait until the new roots grow to 5 to 8 centimeters after acclimatization before applying dilute liquid fertilizer. Only with two or three years of careful care can the plant grow vigorously.
