How to manage cymbidium after the flower buds appear, how to water it after the flower buds appear

1. Increase lighting

Cymbidium orchids will need more light after they grow flower buds, so they need to receive more light. The specific exposure time and light intensity should be determined according to the temperature. If the temperature is below 25 degrees, place it in a place with direct sunlight for 4 hours a day. If the temperature is above 25 degrees, it is necessary to shade the plant and place it in diffuse light, exposing it to more diffuse light. This will allow the flower buds to grow better and avoid falling off.

2. Apply fertilizer appropriately

It is a fertilizer-loving plant, so it is necessary to apply thin fertilizer frequently to ensure that it has enough nutrients. Pay more attention to fertilizing after flower buds appear. At this time, you should choose fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium to promote the growth of flower buds. It is best to fertilize once every ten days, so that the flowers will bloom fuller and the flowering period will be longer.

3. Suitable temperature

After the cymbidium orchid grows flower buds, you should pay attention to the temperature. The temperature should not be too high or too low. It is best to control it between 10-20 degrees, and also pay attention to the temperature difference. The temperature difference should be within 10 degrees, which is conducive to the growth of flower buds. If there is no temperature difference, the flower buds will easily fall off.

4. Water appropriately

After it has flower buds, you should pay attention to the watering method. The amount and frequency of watering should be controlled. It is best to water it when the soil is dry and not too frequently. Normally, when the soil in the pot is 70% to 80% dry, water it thoroughly to prevent water accumulation. In addition, be careful not to spray water on the flower buds. If the flower buds get wet, their development will be affected and they will easily fall off.
