Cymbidium household cultivation methods
About the experience of Cymbidium sinense, the household cultivation methods of Cymbidium sinense, the following article introduces by the editor of this site.
For many orchid enthusiasts, the household cultivation method of Cymbidium sinense is challenging, especially in the northern regions. Mr. Sun from Qingdao has been very successful in raising Cymbidium sinense, discovering the regular experience of household cultivation of Cymbidium sinense in the north, simplifying it, making it concise and valuable for reference, and sharing it with northern Cymbidium sinense enthusiasts for reference and research.
(I) Management of Cymbidium sinense flowering period in the north (balcony cultivation)
Cultivating Cymbidium sinense on the balcony in the north, pay attention to the high room temperature and dryness from the room heater, and also avoid low balcony temperature. Flower buds start to appear from November, and some are early and some are late. Early varieties start to develop small spikes in December. Night temperature is 10-15 degrees, and day temperature is 15-20 degrees. Pay attention to increasing humidity, the higher the temperature, the higher the humidity. Low temperature can delay flowering or prevent normal blooming. High temperature and dry environment can easily lead to bud drop.
In the north, the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is very large in winter, and the following points should be noted for flowering period management:
1. After the Cymbidium sinense flower bud emerges from the ground, there is a one-month growth停滞 period: temperature control at 10-15 degrees is conducive to the development of the flower bud.
2. Temperature control during the Cymbidium sinense spike stage is suitable at 15-20 degrees: the high temperature critical point for flowering is about 23 degrees, and it is easy to cause dry buds above 23-25 degrees.
3. More sun exposure during the flowering period of Cymbidium sinense is beneficial for fragrance release.
The management of Cymbidium sinense during the growing period is simple and has nothing special.
1. Cymbidium sinense is shade-tolerant and can be mixed with other orchids or cultivated indoors.
2. Cymbidium sinense likes fertilizer and can be watered and fertilized like other orchids, or slightly more watered fertilizer.
3. Cymbidium sinense has a tall plant form, but the root system is not very developed, so the pot should not be too large.
4. The seedling rate of Cymbidium sinense is not high, but it is easy to bloom.
(II) How to make Cymbidium sinense bloom during the Spring Festival! (forcing blooming)
Cymbidium sinense can bloom during the Spring Festival by adjusting temperature and humidity; the simplest method is to place it in a heated toilet, increase watering to increase temperature and humidity, which is called "toilet forcing blooming method."
When purchasing Cymbidium sinense before the New Year, the flower bud is very short, the flower bud of Jinhuashan is about 3-5 cm long and not more than 10 cm, the flower bud of white Cymbidium sinense just露出 leaf pants, Fujian orchid merchants say that it may not be possible to see flowers early this Spring Festival, the goods arrived and were potted on December 30, and today is 10 days, Jinhuashan has already developed large spikes and opened a few flowers, the white Cymbidium sinense flower stalk is 20-30 cm, and it should spike in another 10 days, just in time to give away before the Spring Festival.
Several issues should be noted when forcing Cymbidium sinense to bloom:
1. Heating must be accompanied by increased humidity, otherwise high temperature and dryness can easily cause dry buds and wither.
2. The adaptive temperature for the flowering period of Cymbidium sinense is 15-20 degrees, and the heating should not be too high suddenly, keeping it around 20 degrees, and it is easy to cause dry buds if the temperature exceeds 23 degrees and humidity is insufficient.
3. Keeping it in the toilet not only facilitates heating and humidity increase but also quickly pulls the spike to prevent the flower stalk from leaning towards light.
4. Try to choose ordinary petal varieties, as the odd flower of Cymbidium sinense takes too long to open, and it is better not to force the Mei petal Cymbidium sinense, otherwise the quality of the bloom will be poor.
