3. What are the cultivation methods for Cymbidium ensifolium?

1. Pot and soil selection: What soil is suitable?

Cymbidium ensifolium has strong adaptability and likes to grow in an environment with loose, fertile soil, good air permeability and rich humus, so when choosing soil, try to use sandy loam rich in humus for planting. Of course, you can also use leaf mold, mountain soil rich in humus, or iron-rich pine soil for planting. After choosing the soil, place some small stones or broken tiles at the bottom of the pot, then add the soil until it reaches one third of the flower pot.

2. Light requirements: Can it be exposed to direct sun?

Cymbidium ensifolium likes diffused light and is not suitable for direct sun exposure, so give it some scattered light in spring, autumn and winter, and provide appropriate shade in summer. Generally, 30% shading in spring, autumn and winter, and 70 to 80% shading in summer is best. If indoors, curtains and the like can be used for shading. However, in deep winter (when the temperature is minus ten degrees), it can be exposed to the sun all day to ensure sufficient light and promote plant sprouting.

3. Temperature requirements: What temperature environment is best for growth?

Cymbidium ensifolium does not have high temperature requirements. Generally, in the early growth stage, about 25 degrees is best for growth. When it grows to 10 to 15 cm, keeping the temperature at 10 to 30 degrees allows rapid growth. If during the winter dormancy period, it is best to control the indoor temperature at 0 to 12 degrees, and maintain good ventilation, so that it can bloom more the next year.

4. Fertilizer requirements: What fertilizer is good to apply?

Cymbidium ensifolium does not have a high fertilizer requirement. Generally, apply sufficient base fertilizer in the early stage, then use small amounts of fertilizer water multiple times, and in the later stage apply a small amount of compost to promote growth. When applying fertilizer water in the early stage, add a trace amount of potassium fertilizer to the water to prevent root nodule bacteria. In the later stage, fertilize generally once a month, and when fertilizing, it is best to apply 3 to 5 granules of compound fertilizer per pot, so as to avoid root rot caused by too much.

5. Water requirements: How to water?

Cymbidium ensifolium does not have high water requirements. Generally, keeping the potting soil moist is enough, so when watering, try to follow the principle of “dry-wet cycle”. The specific amount of watering can be determined by the dryness of the potting soil. Generally, when the potting soil is dry and does not stick to the hand when touched, it needs watering. If the potting soil is moist, it should not be watered. When watering, water thoroughly. Of course, you can also use the soaking pot method to let the soil become thoroughly wet, so as to avoid uneven moisture causing root rot.

In general, the market price of Cymbidium ensifolium can be expensive or cheap, so when buying, try to check the local market. In addition, if you want to grow Cymbidium ensifolium well, you need to do a good job in basic management such as light, water and fertilizer, so that it will bloom more the next year.
