Among orchids, Cymbidium faberi has a very strong presence, and after blooming it has a rich fragrance, so it is deeply loved by people. Some flower lovers do not know how to care for Cymbidium faberi after bringing it home, so the editor will introduce the care methods for Cymbidium faberi to you.

Cymbidium faberi

I. Pot selection

Deep pots and ceramic pots should be preferred. In dry growing environments, orchid pots with average breathability can be used, while in damp and shady environments, orchid pots with better breathability should be chosen.

II. Soil mixing

It is advisable to choose relatively good-quality materials, such as nutrient soil (Hewang brand Emeishan Xiantu) 30%, orchid stone (Emperor Stone) or crushed red brick 30%, Japanese-produced Zhijinshi 30%, and snake wood 10%. After mixing the above growing materials, sift out the powder and set aside.

III. Planting

When filling the pot with soil, note that the lower layer should be coarse and the upper layer fine. While filling the soil, gently shake so that the orchid roots fully contact and are filled in by the growing medium. The soil-filling height should be appropriate to completely cover the pseudobulbs, leaving about 2 cm of space at the pot rim to facilitate watering. For watering, it is advisable not to water when dry and to water thoroughly when watering.

IV. Disease prevention and pest control

In rainy seasons, attention should be paid to preventing and treating common diseases such as black spot and anthracnose. Before the plum rain season or after rain, fungicides such as chlorothalonil, carbendazim and prochloraz can be used alternately, spraying the leaf surface once every 7 to 10 days. If pest damage occurs, apply time-saving treatments, insecticides and other remedies according to the symptoms, and deal with them promptly.

V. Sunning the pots and repotting

From March to June each year, on sunny days it is advisable to place Cymbidium faberi in direct sunlight to sun the pots for 5 to 6 hours (from 6 a.m. to 12 noon), which can promote rooting and shoot growth. If it is grown on a southeast-facing balcony, it can be allowed to receive natural sunlight. When the temperature exceeds 36°C, care should be taken to avoid direct sunlight at noon and the "west mountain sun". If the leaf tips are found to be scorched black, aside from ruling out the factor of excessive fertilizer and water, it is very likely that the orchid roots have grown to the bottom of the pot, become stiff from touching the wall, and this is reflected on the leaf surface as scorched tips. At this time, the pot should be repotted and the soil changed promptly. First take the orchid out of the pot, divide it into clumps of 3 to 5 shoots, then replant them in pots, water them, and place them in a cool, ventilated place for 7 to 10 days, then gradually increase light. After one month, they can be placed on the balcony for growing and enjoyment.

VI. Fertilizing

During the annual growing period of orchids and cymbidiums, apart from the winter dormancy period and the high-temperature period of midsummer, fertilizer is needed in all three seasons: spring, summer and autumn. Specifically, the fertilizers needed by orchids and cymbidiums include bud-promoting fertilizer, growth fertilizer, flower-promoting fertilizer and heat- and cold-resistance fertilizer.

1. Bud-promoting fertilizer is applied to promote early sprouting and more sprouts. It is started after leaving the room, mainly using Zhiquan.

2. Growth fertilizer is applied to promote the rapid growth of new shoots of orchid plants. It is the type used for the longest time and the greatest number of times in a year. Organic fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers and biological bacterial fertilizers with complete nutrient components, such as Xishuo, Baifei, Zhiben, Duomu and Haokangduo, should be used alternately, and root application and foliar application should preferably be carried out alternately.

3. Flower-promoting fertilizer is applied to promote flower bud development and growth, so as to achieve flowering, more flowers, larger flowers, brighter colors and fragrance. It is mainly based on Zhiji and Mofei.

Care essentials for Jiuzi large-flowered cymbidium

Jiuzi large-flowered cymbidium is a relatively famous new star among orchids. Because its flowers are huge and its flower colors are also very bright, it is deeply loved by flower lovers. Jiuzi large-flowered cymbidium can be said to be the finest among large-flowered cymbidiums. The editor will introduce to you the care essentials for Jiuzi large-flowered cymbidium.

Jiuzi large-flowered cymbidium

1. Although Jiuzi large-flowered cymbidium is relatively cold-resistant, it cannot withstand relatively low temperatures. On the way home after purchase, it may be exposed to cold air, causing damage to leaves or flowers.

2. It is recommended not to water too much or too frequently. Watering with clear water close to room temperature is sufficient. Do not apply fertilizer water during the flowering period. Wait until the flowering period is over before applying fertilizer, otherwise the flowering period will be shortened, and improper fertilizer use can also cause fertilizer damage.

3. Jiuzi large-flowered cymbidium is afraid of direct strong light. Generally, scattered light is best. Too weak light will also cause poor growth and some disease symptoms. Generally, for indoor appreciation, the indoor position determines where the flower is placed, but at this time attention should also be paid to whether the flower adapts to the small environment of that position.

Four-season care essentials for large-flowered cymbidium and the flower language of large-flowered cymbidium

Many people grow a large-flowered cymbidium at home for partial decoration, because the large-flowered cymbidium plant is upright, the leaves are emerald green, and the flowers are huge and gorgeous, with great ornamental value. Below, I will tell everyone about the four-season care essentials for large-flowered cymbidium and the flower language of large-flowered cymbidium.

Four-season care essentials for large-flowered cymbidium

1. Spring management

In spring, as temperatures begin to rise, ventilation should be strengthened as much as possible so that plants still in bloom are kept in a relatively cool environment. Because temperatures in spring change greatly, do not rush to move them outdoors; this protects and promotes the growth of new shoots. After there is sufficient light, move them outdoors for cultivation. Water once a day, while flowering plants only need to keep the potting soil moist. Fertilize once every 10 to 15 days. Spring is a great time for repotting or division propagation after flowering, so it should be carried out promptly. In order to reduce nutrient consumption, flower stems should be cut off immediately after the flowers fade, otherwise it will affect the growth of new shoots.

2. Summer management

Summer is the early stage of flower bud differentiation in large-flowered cymbidium. Because high temperatures are not conducive to flower bud differentiation, attention should be paid to cooling to promote flower bud differentiation. In summer, keeping the temperature below 28°C is beneficial to growth. Because summer sunlight is strong, 30% shading should be used to protect leaves from sunburn. Water twice a day. If it is hot and dry, spray the leaf surface. Before July, apply liquid fertilizer once about every 15 days. Adding solid compound fertilizer once a month can help the growth of new shoots, and spraying insecticide and fungicide once a month can effectively prevent and control pests and diseases.

3. Autumn management

In autumn, the temperature difference begins to increase. From October, it should be moved indoors for cultivation, so that low temperatures at night do not slow plant growth. At this time, sufficient sunlight should be provided to increase the accumulation of nutrients. As the weather gradually turns cold in autumn, generally water once every 1 to 2 days, and try to keep the substrate moist to protect newly developing flower buds. During flower bud growth, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote plump and strong flower buds.

4. Winter management

This period is when large-flowered cymbidium begins to bloom. Note that the nighttime temperature should not exceed 20°C, otherwise it will cause flower buds to drop. In winter, it can be given sufficient sunlight to make the plant sturdy. In winter, water once every 3 to 4 days, and maintain humidity at 60% to 70%. Attention should be paid to preventing and controlling flower-eating snails. Fertilizing should be stopped during the flowering period.
