How to care for Cymbidium sinense in spring? Master the key points of spring care

Wait until the temperature rises above 15°C and the flowers of Cymbidium sinense have mostly faded, then you can repot it once. When repotting, you should also trim away any rotten roots and dead leaves. After that, appropriately increase the frequency of watering, and prepare some high-nitrogen, high-potassium flower fertilizer, dilute it with water, and apply it once every 10-15 days.

1. Pruning and repotting

Spring is the end of the flowering period for Cymbidium sinense. Wait until the temperature rises above 15°C and its flowers have mostly faded, then you can begin to repot it. Choose a purple clay pot or earthen pot of moderate size as the new pot, and fill it with some loose potting medium. Then take the plant out, cut off the rotten roots and dead leaves, and plant it into the new medium.

2. Increase watering

Right after repotting, you should water it once to help its roots combine with the new potting medium. Then, appropriately increase the frequency of watering. This is because it is growing relatively quickly at this time, and if there is not enough water, it may develop undesirable symptoms such as dry leaves and slow growth.

3. Increase fertilizing

In the few days just after repotting, you do not need to fertilize. But once it resumes growth, you should apply some flower fertilizer as a top dressing to provide it with more nutrients and help it grow. Specifically, you need to prepare some high-nitrogen, high-potassium flower fertilizer, dilute it with water, and apply it once every 10-15 days.
