1. First of all, choose a clay flowerpot with good air permeability:

Basin soil can be mixed with ordinary soil, sand and humus in the ratio of 2:1:1. Such basin soil can not only provide base fertilizer, but also ensure air permeability

2. Requirements for water quality and temperature:

Weak acidic water quality is better. Of course, you don't have to buy pH test paper. Just remember that tap water can't water flowers without treatment. It needs to be placed for one or two nights before reuse. If conditions permit, it can store rainwater, which is the best water for watering orchids. The water temperature should be as close as possible to the room temperature. Don't water the flowers with cold water in summer, which is easy to hurt the roots

3. The watering time shall be in the morning as far as possible:

Cymbidium hybridum most avoid poor root drainage, and less evaporation at night is easy to cause damage by ponding

4. Watering frequency:

It evaporates quickly in summer and can be watered once a day. During the flowering period, it is necessary to reduce the number of watering according to the situation and keep watering once in about 7 days. If watering too much, the petals are prone to brown spots. Winter dormancy period can be watered once every 5 days to maintain basic water and ensure a smooth winter

5. Watering volume:

According to the soil structure, the watering shall be thorough without waterlogging. To judge whether the watering is thorough, you can observe that there is a slight water overflow from the drainage hole of the flowerpot

6. Precautions:

Cymbidium hybridum likes the air humidity of 50% - 70%, so a small watering can be used to spray the root and leaf surface between watering, but pay attention to the appropriate amount of water. More water is easy to cause soil caking, and the root is easy to have poor breathing. It cannot be placed near heat dissipating household appliances such as air conditioning and heating, which is easy to cause yellowing of flowers and leaves and affect viewing

Cymbidium hybridum is less difficult to cultivate than Cymbidium, and its flowering color is more gorgeous. It is suitable for novice orchids as an introductory exercise. The course of orchid cultivation is broad and profound. We need to explore more carefully and experience more, temper our character, and harvest elegant or gorgeous orchids
