Treatment methods for cymbidium root rot

Treatment

Root pruning

If the cymbidium orchid you keep at home has root rot, the first thing you need to do is cut off the rotten roots and dead leaves, and remove the debris next to the rotten roots to prevent the rotten parts from spreading and worsening the orchid's condition.

disinfect

Disinfect the cymbidium. The specific method is to use 1% potassium permanganate for disinfection, soak it for two hours, then wash it and put it in the sun for a while. Then replace the new planting material, which can be made by mixing sphagnum moss, bark blocks, vermiculite, leaf mold, and peat soil.

Repotting

It is recommended to move the cymbidium to a deep pot with good air circulation. Some wood blocks or bricks can be placed at the bottom of the pot to increase air circulation. Just spray water around the leaves frequently every day, twice, and open the windows frequently for ventilation. I believe the orchid will get better.
