What should I do if the buds of Cymbidium orchid fall off? How should I water it if there are buds?

1. What to do if the buds of Cymbidium orchid fall off?

1. The temperature is too high: It is not resistant to high temperature environment. When there are flower buds, the temperature should not be higher than 20 degrees. It is best to maintain it between 10-20 degrees, and the temperature difference between day and night should be within 10 degrees. If the temperature is above 20 degrees for a long time and there is no temperature difference, the flower buds will develop poorly and fall off. Be sure to pay attention to temperature control.

2. Excessive watering: Reduce watering after flower buds appear. If you water too much, the flower buds will easily wrinkle and fall off. In this case, stop watering, ventilate more, and remove the damaged flower buds. In the later stage, you must reduce watering, but do not let it lack water, just keep the soil slightly moist.

3. Improper fertilization: If you continue to apply a large amount of fertilizer after the flower buds have grown, especially quick-acting fertilizers, it will easily cause fertilizer damage and cause the flower buds to fall off. The fertilizer should be removed and diluted with water appropriately. More ventilation should be provided to allow the accumulated water to evaporate. This will reduce fertilizer damage and the plants will slowly recover.

2. How to water the cymbidium after it has flower buds

After the cymbidium orchid grows flower buds, reduce watering, and it is best to water when the soil is dry and wet. When you find that the soil in the pot is 70% to 80% dry, water it thoroughly. Do not water it too frequently, as the roots will easily rot if water accumulates. In addition, be careful not to sprinkle water on the flower buds. Water will affect their development and may even make them fall off.
