Cymbidium orchids bloom large and beautiful flowers, are deeply loved by everyone, and are a common flowering houseplant. Recently, some flower lovers have reported: what causes root rot in Cymbidium orchids?
Cymbidium orchids have fleshy roots, and overwatering or watering too frequently can easily cause root rot. For a Cymbidium orchid with root rot, you need to take it out promptly, cut off the rotted roots, disinfect and sterilize with a potassium permanganate solution, and then repot it for care.
Cymbidium orchids are suited to growing in loose, fertile soil with good drainage and aeration. The soil can be made by mixing sphagnum moss, bark chunks, leaf mold, peat soil, etc. in certain proportions.
To increase air circulation, you can choose a clay pot for care, and place some wood blocks, clay pebbles, etc. at the bottom of the pot to help with drainage. For indoor care, open the windows often to increase air circulation.
