How to care for cymbidium flowers during their blooming period? Can fertilizer be applied during flowering?

1. How to grow during the flowering period

1. Suitable light: It likes light and cannot lack light during the flowering period. It should be placed in a well-lit place and exposed to more diffuse light. This will extend its flowering period and make the flowers more colorful. But be careful not to expose the plant to direct sunlight at this time. Strong light will burn the flower buds and easily cause the flowers to fall, ending the flowering period prematurely.

2. Suitable temperature: It likes a warm environment and has higher temperature requirements during flowering. The temperature should not be too high or too low. It is best to control it at around 20 degrees so that it can bloom and grow better.

3. Water in moderation: It likes moisture, so you need to water it frequently to keep it moist. However, you must control the amount of water during the flowering period and never allow water to accumulate in the soil, otherwise the roots will rot. Also be careful not to let the flower buds get wet, as this will hinder flowering. The soil just needs to be slightly moist at this time.

2. Can I fertilize during flowering?

It cannot be fertilized during the flowering period. Just applying appropriate amount of fertilizer during the growing season and before flowering can meet the needs of the entire flowering period. If you continue to apply fertilizer at this time, it will easily stimulate the root system and cause fertilizer damage. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote flowering before the flowers bloom, and add compound fertilizers in time after flowering to help recovery. In this way, the plants will grow better and stronger, and will bloom better and longer.
