A detailed guide to cultivating small seedlings, young seedlings, old seedlings and weak seedlings

I now present my method with pictures below so that fellow orchid growers can refer to it...

A Brief Analysis of the Role and Methods of Cold Vernalization in Cymbidium goeringii
Orchids that need vernalization are those in the bud stage; orchids that have not produced flower buds do not need vernalization. A large temperature difference between day and night is a necessary condition for good bloom quality. Vernalize in sunlight, bloom in shade, tall stems and good quality (this suits natural vernalization in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region); if vernalizing indoors as in the north, shade vernalization is recommended (temperature controlled at 1-12°C, with a temperature difference of about 10°C for about 40 to 50 days), then bloom in light (the "bloom in light" here does not mean direct sunlight either; diffuse light is best, ensuring Cymbidium goeringii temperatures of 8-20°C and Cymbidium faberi temperatures of 10-23°C, preferably not exceeding 25°C)
