What are the culture methods and matters needing attention of Cymbidium
The preparation of soil is the basic element of Cymbidium cultivation. Cymbidium is an epiphytic plant. Generally, it is necessary to choose a culture medium with larger particles, such as coconut shavings, broken bricks, water moss and so on.
Soil Cymbidium likes to grow in loose, breathable and well-drained soil, so rotten leaf soil is recommended. In addition, moss, fern root, charcoal, bark, broken bricks and other mixed self-made culture soil is also a very good choice.
When the plant material in the basin is wet and does not need watering, you can spray some water to the leaves in the morning and evening to increase air humidity. After heating the greenhouse in winter, the indoor humidity will be lower at night, so we should try to increase the indoor humidity. Cymbidium likes light, and sufficient light is beneficial to leaf growth, flower bud formation and flowering, but it is not suitable for strong light.
Culture methods and matters needing attention of Cymbidium: culture method Water: it has no special requirements for water, just pour plenty of water during the growing period. We should pour more water when the temperature is hot, reduce the amount of water when the temperature is cold, and pay attention to that the water temperature should not be too low to avoid frostbite.
Culture methods and precautions of Cymbidium: Cymbidium loves light, but it needs shade in summer to avoid sun damage. Make sure you get enough light in winter. Water supply: watering should be appropriate. In summer, in addition to normal watering, foliar water should be sprayed to increase humidity.
Note: apply rotten cake fertilizer and water for Cymbidium once a week. In the vigorous growth season, it is best to pour diluted liquid fertilizer every two weeks, or give a little compound fertilizer and so on.
The difference between vanilla and Cymbidium
1. Morphological differences: vanilla flowers are relatively small, between 3 and 5 cm in diameter, petals are lilac or white, filaments are shorter, while Cymbidium flowers are larger, up to 10 cm in diameter, petals are dark purple or red, filaments are longer.
2. on the leaves, the leaves of Cymbidium are wide and long, and the edges are smooth; vanilla leaves are similar to Chunlan, belong to slender type, and the edges are serrated.
3. Leaf characteristics: the leaves of Cymbidium are wide and long, and the edges are smooth. By contrast, vanilla leaves are slender and usually serrated. Flower characteristics: when Cymbidium is blooming, the flower is larger, up to 6-10 cm in diameter and has six tepals.
4. Cymbidium and Cymbidium are two different orchid varieties with different shapes and characteristics. Perfume orchid is an evergreen, multi-flowered, epiphytic orchid with slender leaves, beautiful flowers, large flowers and rich fragrance, so it is usually regarded as the king of fragrant flowers.
5. There are about 48 species of Cymbidium. At present, there are nearly 20 native species used as hybrid parents, mainly epiphytes with large flowers and a small number of terrestrial species. Cymbidium is an artificial hybrid of Cymbidium. Since the first variety of Cymbidium was cultivated in England in 1889, a large number of interspecific and interspecific hybrids were selected in Europe and America in the 1940s.
How to maintain Cymbidium
1. Conservation method basin soil: Cymbidium is a fleshy root system, and the penetration of the root is very weak. it needs a basin soil substrate with loose, breathable, good drainage and good fertilizer and water conservation; bark, coconut shell, sawdust, gravel and ceramsite can be used to improve soil permeability, and these substrates can be used alone or mixed together.
2. Reasonable watering: the water demand of Cymbidium is limited, so we must not water more. We should choose to water once every 2 days in spring and autumn, several times a day in summer and about once a month in winter.
3. The preparation of soil is the basic element of Cymbidium cultivation. Cymbidium is an epiphytic plant, which generally needs to choose a culture medium with larger particles, such as coconut shavings, broken bricks, water moss and so on.
4. the temperature of Cymbidium is not high, and it can even grow in an environment above 35 degrees Celsius. During the flower bud stage, it should be grown in a warm place, and the temperature should not exceed 5 degrees. Water watering is one of the most important links in the cultivation of Cymbidium.
White Cymbidium varieties
The color of Cymbidium is also white and yellow, which is very rare, but it does exist, among which the white cymbidium has dawn and glacier varieties, while the yellow cymbidium has bright moon and sunset varieties, all of which belong to horticultural hybrids.
Guifei Guifei is a pink variety of Cymbidium, with a plant height of 90-100 cm, a leaf width of about 3 cm, a flower diameter of 9 cm, and a pink color, with 15-22 florets on each scape.
. Suzanne plant is more developed, plant height 90~100cm. The leaf is scattered, and the leaf width is 2~3cm. Flowers 7~8cm in diameter, tepals pink-purple. The labellum has long claws, the edge is round, and only the middle edge is slightly lobed or involute. The lip has a pink edge with a wide 0.5cm, white in the middle and rear, and yellow in the center.
White series: glacier (hanging), dawn. Orange series: glaze, dreams, millions of kisses. Coffee series: more common in Cymbidium series such as forget worry fruit. Complex color series: fire.
Cymbidium cymbidium is the general name of many epiphytic original species and hybrids of Orchidaceae. Its cultivated varieties are mainly from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan Province of China.
The main popular varieties of Cymbidium are: pink series: Princess, Pink Monroe, Nancy, Dream. Green series: Jasper, Phantom (incense), Waltz (fragrance), Jade Zen. Yellow series: sunset (fragrance), bright moon, UFO. White series: glacier (hanging), dawn.

The main results are as follows: 1. The preparation of soil is the basic element of Cymbidium cultivation. Cymbidium is an epiphytic plant, which generally needs to choose a culture medium with larger particles, such as coconut shavings, broken bricks, water moss and so on.
2. * * Light guarantee: * * Cymbidium is native to low latitudes and high altitude. the suitable temperature for growth is 10 ℃ to 25 ℃. The overwintering temperature should not be too high, and it is suitable to maintain about 10 ℃ at night.
3. Emerald: emerald is one of the most popular varieties of Cymbidium. The flowers are colorful, have strong aroma, and are easy to maintain. Emerald has low requirements for light and moisture, strong adaptability, and is suitable for beginners.
4. Morphological differences: vanilla flowers are relatively small, between 3 and 5 cm in diameter, petals are lilac or white, filaments are shorter, while Cymbidium flowers are larger, up to 10 cm in diameter, petals are dark purple or red, filaments are longer.
