The flower pot is relatively special. You should choose a flowerpot with rough texture and unglazed texture, and it is best to grow orchids in a pot with legs. The bottom of the pot is deep and has a water outlet, which allows the cymbidium to breathe better. Newly cultivated cymbidiums are best planted in tile pots. After cultivating for more than one year, after normal development, they can be moved to a beautiful place. In a purple sand basin.

When planting cymbidium, choose good soil

The key to growing cymbidium is the soil used. Cymbidium is a semi-aerial flower and must use acidic soil containing humus. Mountain mud where Cymbidium grows in mountainous areas has better cultivation results. Cymbidium soil can also be prepared by yourself. The method is to use sandy soil 70% and coarse-grained humus soil 30%. After blending, it should be released for more than three years before use. The selected potting soil should be sieved to separate coarse and fine particles. The potting soil should be sterilized to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases.

Preserve the root system and be careful when potting
