Soil: loose, porous, well drained soil, such as sapropel. Watering: sufficient water should be given during the growth period, with more watering in summer and less watering in winter. Sunlight: it's better to receive scattered light. When the light is strong in summer, it needs to be shielded. Fertilizer: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are used in the growth period.

I. soil

Hybrid Cymbidium like to grow in loose and well drained soil. It is recommended to use saprophytic soil. In addition, the mixture of moss, fern root, charcoal, bark block and broken brick is also a very good choice.

Try not to use common culture soil and culture soil of Cymbidium. If the drainage and exhaust effect of soil is poor, it will easily lead to the rotten root of Cymbidium hybridum.

II. Watering

In the growth period of Hybrid Cymbidium, enough water should be given. In summer, the climate is hot, and watering times should be reduced in cold winter. Pay attention to the temperature of water (consistent with room temperature as far as possible) to avoid frostbite on the roots of plants.

The pH value of water used for watering Hybrid Cymbidium is 6.5.

III. sunshine

In summer, when the light is strong, it needs to be shielded (Cymbidium hybridum does not like to be directly exposed to the sun, so scattering light should be used), and 50% shading is the best. In autumn, in order to make the plant better form flower buds and survive the winter, it can be more exposed to some sunlight. In winter, it needs to be placed in a greenhouse with strong sunshine and high temperature.

IV. fertilizer

It is better to use fertilizer with the ratio of N, P and K of 1:1:1 in the growth period, and the application amount of P and K can be increased in the flowering period. Before use, it is necessary to dilute the fertilizer solution and adjust its pH to 5.8-6.2, once or twice a day in summer (alternate application of water and fertilizer), once every three days in other seasons, and stop applying fertilizer in winter.
