Cymbidium goeringii, half-dead and abandoned for 28 days, urgently recalled, daughter says there's a show to be had

Cymbidium goeringii, half-dead and abandoned, left there for 28 days before being urgently recalled, daughter: this time there's a good show to be had.

In today's flower market, the hottest item is none other than orchids; you could say that in today's great floral trend, orchids have always been the most highly regarded by everyone. Whether as a small bonsai for the home or specifically for commercial use, they are a rather sought-after commodity. As for the reasons, I personally think there are a few points. First, it has to do with the orchid's elegant and pure qualities; second, the orchid itself has relatively high value.

So, within the orchid family, Cymbidium goeringii also happens to be the most fashionable and widespread. Because Cymbidium goeringii is relatively common, and most varieties are reasonably priced, whether rural or urban people, everyone is growing Cymbidium goeringii. However, although Cymbidium goeringii is a mass-market flower, it also has its own growth habits and personality, and it is not something you can just casually grow and be done with. If you don't get it right and management is inadequate, it can likewise be a source of frustration.

Well, the two pots of Cymbidium goeringii I divided from a friend last year just would not grow to my satisfaction in my hands. Especially in summer, the leaves went soft, looking just half-dead, and losing patience, I wanted to pull it out of the pot to see what was going on, and it turned out even the roots were shriveled, so I simply tossed it under the osmanthus tree next to the pig shed to let it cool off properly.

Then one day, I came home from a business trip to Chengdu, and just as I reached the front door, my precious daughter was blocking the gate, muttering over and over, this time there's a good show to see, our orchid has sprouted again. After asking around, I learned what had happened, so I hurried over to look under the osmanthus tree, and sure enough, new shoots had emerged, and not only had the old leaves not wilted, they looked even more full of vitality. So I quickly tidied up the flowerpot, prepared fresh orchid potting medium, and hurriedly recalled the Cymbidium goeringii that had spent 28 days in the corner, giving the orchid a new home.

Later, after learning from an experienced old master and checking on site, it turned out that under the osmanthus tree, first, it was relatively moist, and second, the soil under the osmanthus tree was where my dad had piled pig manure together with some straw residue last year, which had already finished fermenting and was all soft black humus soil. No wonder the Cymbidium goeringii had not only not died there, but had instead grown new shoots.

It turns out that this fermented soil contains relatively rich nutrients that can promote the growth and sprouting of orchids. So, when you encounter such a situation in the future, you must not be too impulsive; you have to investigate the cause, that's the way. Otherwise, you won't even have time to regret it, wouldn't you say?
