Cymbidium orchid maintenance methods in four seasons

Spring care methods for cymbidium

Cymbidium needs sufficient light and prefers a cool and humid growing environment. It is recommended to apply decomposed thin liquid fertilizer or orchid-specific fertilizer once a week after the spring flowering period to provide sufficient nutrients for its growth.

Summer maintenance methods for cymbidium

The temperature is high in summer, so you should pay attention to ventilation and cooling, and provide shade in time to avoid exposure to the sun. In addition, too high temperature will affect the differentiation of flower buds and affect the quality of flowering in the second year. In addition, attention should be paid to timely watering and fertilizing in summer. It is recommended to apply well-rotted thin liquid fertilizer or special fertilizer for orchids once a week.

Autumn care methods for cymbidium

In early autumn, you should pay attention to shading to avoid strong sunlight exposure, which will cause the leaves to turn yellow. After the temperature drops, you should reduce watering, but be sure to keep it moist. In autumn, it is recommended to fertilize once every two to three weeks.

Winter care methods for cymbidium

The temperature drops in winter and should be controlled above 3°C. The flower pots can be moved to a sunny location indoors for maintenance. In addition, fertilization should be stopped in winter and fertilizer should not be applied until after the flowering period in spring.
