How many days can the large-leafed cymbidium flower bloom?

1. How many days can it be opened?

How many days the large-leafed cymbidium flower can bloom depends on the management of the flowering period and the control of temperature. If you let it bloom naturally without temperature control, it will probably bloom for about 40 to 60 days. If you control the temperature well, the flowering period can be more than 100 days, and the color of the flowers will be very bright.

2. Ways to prolong the flowering period

1. Lower the temperature: The suitable temperature for its growth is about 15 degrees. If it exceeds 20 degrees, it will grow slowly or even stop growing. If the flowers have already bloomed or are about to bloom, the temperature can be controlled above 5 degrees and below 15 degrees, so that the flowers will bloom slower and the colors will be brighter.

2. Reduce light: It prefers diffuse light during flowering and cannot be exposed to direct light. If there is direct sunlight, the flowers will wither early and the leaf color will become dull, reducing the ornamental value. If it is given diffuse light, the flowering period will naturally be extended and its ornamental value will be higher.

3. Stop fertilizing: Its pseudobulb is relatively thick and can store a large amount of nutrients and water, so no fertilizer is needed during flowering. Fertilizing at this time will cause the flowers to wither early. Just pay attention to ventilation and watering at ordinary times.
