How much does a pot of Cymbidium sinense cost? Four methods to solve the problem of not blooming
Cymbidium sinense, also known as the New Year orchid, is a variety of orchid and enjoys the reputation of “gentleman among flowers”. Its leaves and flowers are the main ornamental features, and because its blooms are very beautiful and come in diverse colors, it is deeply loved by flower enthusiasts. So how much does a pot of Cymbidium sinense cost? What should you do if it does not bloom?
I. Introduction to Cymbidium sinense:
1. What types of Cymbidium sinense are there?

2. What is the flower language of Cymbidium sinense?

II. How much does a pot of Cymbidium sinense cost?
Market prices for Cymbidium sinense vary, generally around 50 to 150 yuan per pot, but prices differ depending on the market, size specifications, and variety. For example, on a certain online shopping platform, a pot of Qihei Cymbidium sinense with 9 to 10 plants is priced at about 67 yuan per pot, and a pot of White Cymbidium sinense with 6 seedlings is priced at about 81 yuan per pot, so the specific price still needs to be checked at the local market.
III. What should you do if Cymbidium sinense does not bloom?
Reason 1, insufficient light: Cymbidium sinense likes light but not strong light. If it is placed in a shady spot for a long time or receives light for too long, the leaves will turn yellow, leading to failure to bloom.
Solution: Move it to a place with light and ensure two to three hours of light each day. However, in summer, shade it appropriately to avoid too-strong light scalding the plant. After placing it this way for a period, the leaves of Cymbidium sinense will gradually recover, and before long it will bloom normally.
Reason 2, temperature too high or too low: Cymbidium sinense is neither cold-tolerant nor heat-tolerant. Generally, it grows best when the daytime temperature is 18 to 21 degrees and the nighttime temperature is 7 to 10 degrees. If the temperature is below 5 degrees or above 35 degrees, growth will stall, and it will not bloom.
Solution: Try to move it to an environment of 18 to 21 degrees for growth. In winter, try to move it indoors for cultivation. In summer, try to regulate the temperature well and spray an appropriate amount of water around the potting soil to increase indoor humidity. After placing it this way for a period, the leaves will return to normal, and it will bloom before long.
Reason 3, too much watering: Cymbidium sinense does not have high water requirements. Generally, it is enough to keep the soil moist. If the potting soil has too much water, the plant will grow excessively and fail to sprout flower buds.
Solution: Move the plant out of the flowerpot and place it for one or two days, then replant it in the pot. After a period, Cymbidium sinense will bloom normally. In addition, when watering, try to use rainwater. If using tap water, it needs to be exposed to the sun for one or two days before use. Also, avoid rain exposure on rainy days to prevent water accumulation from hindering growth.
Reason 4, too much or too little fertilizer: Cymbidium sinense likes fertilizer, but that does not mean the more the better. If too much or too little is applied, it will affect blooming.
Solution: Determine the amount of fertilizer according to the plant's growth condition, generally following the principle of “prefer light over concentrated” when fertilizing. In addition, fertilize less on rainy days or in winter to avoid failure of Cymbidium sinense to bloom. Also, strengthen light as appropriate and apply an appropriate amount of phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer at the same time, and it will bloom normally.
Overall, the market price of Cymbidium sinense is not expensive. Generally, a pot can be bought for a few dozen yuan, but if you buy one of relatively good quality, it may cost over a hundred yuan per pot, so the specific price still needs to be checked at the local market. In addition, during cultivation, excessive fertilizing or excessive watering will cause Cymbidium sinense not to bloom, so you must master all the cultivation techniques well.
