How to prune cymbidium orchids

Reasons for pruning

Because the flowers of Cymbidium are large and numerous, they are too heavy and easily fall over. In addition, the flowering period of Cymbidium is about 1 to 2 months, after which the flowers will gradually wither. Cutting off the flower branches at this time can avoid consuming too much nutrients and facilitate the germination of new buds.

Pruning methods

Cut the flower branches from the bottom, which will not affect the appearance and ensure that too much nutrients are consumed. In addition, Cymbidium orchid likes moisture and sunshine, and the suitable temperature is between 10℃ and 28℃. After cutting the inflorescence, move it to a well-ventilated windowsill to promote its better growth. After about a week, move the flowers outdoors, step by step. Do not move them suddenly from indoors to outdoors, as sudden changes in environment and light will affect its growth.

In addition, there is no need to change the pot after pruning the flower branches. You can simply clean and replace the rotten and blackened cultivation substrate in the pot. Cymbidium is not afraid of crowding, and the more crowded it is, the better it grows, and the more conducive it is to its own flowering.
