1. Repotting time: It is suggested to repot the hybrid Cymbidium in spring or autumn. The climate and temperature at this time will be more suitable for growth.Attention should be paid to avoid high temperature in summer and low temperature in winter, high temperature is susceptible to pests and diseases, low temperature is susceptible to frostbite.

2. Pruning: Be careful not to damage the new root system.After the pot is removed, the small bulbs growing around the pot are pruned off, the dead branches, the residual leaves and the root system are pruned off, the old roots and the rotten roots are cut off, and then the old roots and the rotten roots are sterilized by soaking in potassium permanganate solution.

3. Preparation of potting soil: It is necessary to prepare suitable potting soil, which has good air permeability and is loose.The soil is best mixed with bark, charcoal, bricks and other embryos, so that it can basically meet its growth needs.Remember not to use heavy clay soil.In addition, we should also pay attention to disinfection.

Place the plant in the middle of the flowerpot and carefully fill the soil and compact it.After planting, the soil is compacted, and a proper amount of water is sprayed for wetting.Be careful not to water in a hurry, and wait a week for the plants to recover before watering.

Ramets are usually combined with repotting, and the buds around the mother plant are cut off after repotting, preferably with the root system, so that the growth will resume faster.Soil should also be prepared for good ventilation and very loose.When ready, plant the buds separately.
