What are the key points to note when Cymbidium sinense sends up flower spikes in winter?

1. Reasonable watering and scientific fertilizing

Cymbidium sinense prefers moist places, but its leaves are linear and leathery with a relatively small area, and it has fleshy roots, so you must not water it too much, otherwise its roots will rot, which will affect its sending up flower spikes. But you also cannot give too little water; if there is too little, its roots will lose water, causing them to dry up, so this can promote the healthy growth of the plant. As for fertilizing, you cannot apply too much fertilizer, nor should it be too concentrated. Otherwise it is easy to make its roots rot, but you also cannot apply too much fertilizer, otherwise the nutrients will be excessive. Use a more diluted fertilizer and apply it more frequently, but not too much.

2. Appropriate light

When it is sending up flower spikes, you must make sure there is a bit more light. It originally prefers warm places. In the low-temperature winter, we can put it in a place where it can receive light, letting it fully enjoy the light. Only in this way can it safely get through the period of sending up flower spikes, so sufficient light is also very important. You should also let it receive light relatively evenly; rotating the pot frequently will let it enjoy the light well.

3. Appropriate temperature

Temperature is also very important for it. In winter the temperature cannot be too high, but it also cannot be too low. A suitable temperature is also very important for it. It originally prefers warm places. During the day, generally keep the temperature at 10 to 16 degrees, and at night keep the temperature at 5 to 10 degrees. Only in this way can it better send up flower spikes. A suitable temperature can let it grow better, and only in this way can it better get through the winter. So in winter, as long as you do these things according to these requirements, it will send up more flower spikes and grow better.
