The environment for cultivating Cymbidium kanran

(1) Establishing an idealorchid-growingsite My orchid shed is built on the south side of a building, with a bamboo grove on the west side, facing southeast, and the shade level of the orchid shed is above 80%. In the morning it is exposed to the rising sun; at noon, when the sun is directly overhead, it is just blocked by the shade net; at sunset, it is blocked by the bamboo grove, forming a ventilated, sun-sheltered environment that is warm in winter and cool in summer, with fresh air maintained year-round. (2) The orchid shed must have rain-blocking equipment At first I had two kinds of orchid sheds: one was a ridge type with an oilcloth rain cover (now changed to a glass greenhouse), and the other was an arched shed type with only a shade net and no rain-blocking equipment. With the same management and the same growing medium, those with rain-blocking equipment had no disease outbreaks; those without rain-blocking equipment suffered disease in the orchid seedlings as well as dead seedlings and rotted shoots. Therefore,Cymbidium kanranthe orchid shed must block heavy rain, and even more attention should be paid to not letting rain fall on the orchid pots during the Qingming and Hanlu seasons. This is because the climate during these two seasons changes abruptly, with unpredictable shifts between cold and warm, andCymbidium kanranis most prone to disease. (Wang Zhonglin)
